Having Morena skin in this society is hard. False advertising regarding whitening products have been normalized all over the years but gone are the days that Filipinos won’t stand against that. We are now in the new millenium where great number of people understand the underlying facets are hidden.
Social media is being used by influencers or advocates to promote and embrace the original color of women. Morena skin tone or simply having brown skin naturally have black hair. While we agree that black always goes with everything, we can’t help to explore the hundred hues that we can have as our hair colors. If you are a morena and looking for the best hair color then this is best for you!
1. Balayage
Balayage is used to handpaint colors to your hair for a more vibrant color and more natural looking highlights. This will compliment your beautiful Morena skin! Instead of going blonde (which we totally support if you want it), we highlight suggest for a Balayage with brown undertone and go for a Beyoncè look.
2. Ash Brown Highlights
This hair color highlights is not limited to ash brown. As a morena you are best partnered with dark hues and Ash Brown is trendy these days that can compliment your hair and so is your skin tone.
