IS RED RIGHT FOR ME?

If seeing all of these beautiful redhaired people is inspiring you to go red yourself, it is possible. Don’t be nervous that red won’t look good on you, because there is a red tone that works for every person’s skin tone. You can find the right tone for you!

 

Lighter skin tones will look great with bright orange-red, strawberry, or copper tones. You don’t want to do anything that has a very deep hue; otherwise, it might wash you out too much.

 

For medium skin tones, you can go for a warmer tone because it will help to brighten up your features. You might want to consider deep copper, auburn hues, or golden red to find the perfect color for you.

 

Darker skin tones can go for a blue or purple-based red. Those beautiful berries and wine variety dyes will look amazing on you.

 

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RED HAIR

Rene Fris, a world-renowned hairstylist, suggest that every time you change your hair color, you switch up your hair care routine to ensure that your hair stays shiny and soft. Here are a few of his tips.

 

  1. Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Use a color-safe cleanser and conditioner, like Rene Fris’ Cleanser and Conditioner, to protect your hair and preserve the dye job. His products are 100% sulfate-free, so it helps your hair to retain moisture and natural oils.
  2. Add a hair mask to your routine. Once a week, use a hair mask instead of your normal conditioner. After shampooing, put the mask in and leave it in for five minutes before rinsing it.
  3. Avoid using hot tools. Embrace your natural texture and try to reduce the number of hot tools you use in your everyday hair routine. Let your hair air dry as much as possible, and reduce how much you curl or flat iron your hair.
