Your hair is the canvas people see when they first lay eyes on you.
It tells others about who you are, what you like and speaks volumes about how you feel.
You may be born with a colour you are not that fond of but take the effort to change your hair colour, even by just a little, and you may feel an immediate boost in mood and attitude immediately!
Based on L’Oreal’s CNY Zodiac True Colours Wheel AND 2016 Chinese Zodiac Fengshui Predictions, here are some suggested hair colours that best suits your Chinese Zodiac sign.
P.S. We have even included the L’Oreal Majirel Hair Colour that goes with your Zodiac sign so you won’t get it wrong at your favourite hair salon!
