30 Teal Hair Dye Shades and Looks

Turning your hair into a teal masterpiece can take some work if you’ve got dark hair, as it will need to be chemically lightened before you can apply your teal dye. For hair that’s been chemically lightened to an orangey yellow shade, applying blue dye may help you achieve a teal hair color, but lightening further will help you to get more accurate results. If you’re looking to match teal hair with your specific complexion, bluish teal is more flattering on warmer skin tones. If you’ve got cool undertones, try going more towards green. Lighter pastel teals look great with fair skin tones, while ladies with medium complexions can opt for a saturated jewel tone teal. Darker skin tones look great with multiple shades of teal, ranging from a deep rich color to pastels and just about anything in between.
