What should you consider when choosing a red hair color?
The color of the skin plays a big role
If you want to know what shade of red looks best on you, you should look at your skin tone. If you have a warm complexion, copper tones will suit it well. Choose an auburn shade of blonde or rose gold if you have a fair complexion. A reddish-brown tone goes well with a medium or olive complexion. Deep, bright reds like burnt orange, fiery red or a deep burgundy look great on darker complexions.
Consider your eye color

Your eye color, like your skin tone, can help you choose the ideal shade of red for your new hairstyle.
- Ladies with green, blue or hazel eyes
If your hair color is naturally blonde, you should choose a warmer shade with reddish-orange undertones, such as auburn, or a shade with reddish-purple undertones, such as burgundy, for your hair color.
- Women blessed with dark eyes
There is an endless variety of red tones including burgundy, maroon, neutrals, light and dark tones.

If you with thethe ideal BlondtonIf you go to the hairdresser for copper-colored curls, you don't have to bleach your hair: this will preserve its naturally light hair color. Before moving on to the lengths, the colorist should apply the dye directly to the hairline. In order to process the color better, he should then wrap each strand in foil in sections. Coloring the eyebrows in the same copper tone completes this color change.

Blonde hair, for example, can benefit from a touch of re-pigmentation before it goes completely red. The method of pre-coloring your hair to cover the pigments is similar to applying primer before painting a wall. There is very little pigment present in blonde hair, which is often referred to as base color. Red hair needs something to hold on to, and filler gives it that. Not all blondes use fillers to get a reddish hue, but without it, the red could appear stronger and fade faster.

- Taking care of your hair will keep it healthy. Look at the condition of your hair - if it's not good, you should give it a little love before coloring. Red tones are held better by healthy hair. Before you re-color your hair, you should trim off any split ends and dead hair. Another way to prevent further damage is to avoid using hot styling tools for a few weeks before your visit.
- Wearing red hair requires commitment. Keeping red hair vibrant requires more regular touch-ups. Before you make the switch, commit to staying red for an extended period of time. You can choose coral or rose gold if you're looking for a less intense shade of red that won't fade as quickly.
- Follow-up treatment is important. Red hair, no matter what color it originally was, needs special care to prevent it from fading. If you want your red hair to stay vibrant, you'll need a deep conditioning mask, a sulfate-free shampoo, and a heat protectant.
