The weekend is the perfect time for you to pamper yourself or do something for a change. One of the best ways to elevate and change one’s look is by getting a new hairstyle and color. 

Speaking of hair color, you don’t have to wait for a long queue in the salon especially if you’re in a hurry. South Korea’s trending  Do It Yourself (DIY) hair color kit and Aespa’s approved brand, Hello Bubble is just within your reach. 

From the name itself, Hello Bubble is a DIY hair color kit in a bubble formulation. In just four easy steps and less than an hour, you can already get that trendy hair color you’ve been eyeing for a while now. 

According to Sigrid Villamil, brand general manager of Hello Bubble, the whole collection is available in 19 colors and the best part is, that it has no ammonia and Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), two chemical ingredients that usually cause skin irritation and reactions. For people with sensitive skin, she still recommends doing a skin patch test before using the product.

But with 19 colors to choose from, you might ask: how to pick the best color for you? That’s where the seasonal color analysis could help you. However, having it professionally done may take some time and money. 

During the launch of Hello Bubble in SM Aura Premier, the brand team shared some tips on how to check your color analysis based on the color of your veins. 

First is to look at the color of your veins on your wrist in a natural light setup. If your veins appear blue or purple, you likely have a cool undertone. Meanwhile, green-looking veins indicate a warm undertone. Lastly, if they appear neutral or a mix of both, you might have a neutral undertone. 

Based on the color analysis chart, a cool undertone falls under either the summer or winter season; while a warm undertone is either spring or autumn. Those who have a neutral undertone can enjoy any color from both worlds.
