Here are stunning ideas for red hair.
1. Classic Cherry Red.
This is the typical picture that comes to the mind of someone when they say “I want to go red. True, vivid cherry red is bold, saturated and clearly on purpose. It is right in the middle of the red spectrum, NOT orange, NOT purple, but gloriously confident, red.
2. Warm Copper
Copper is the lighter, sunny sibling of true red that is earthy, warm and truly glowing. It’s at the intersection of red and orange, making it very natural, yet very bold. Warm and olive skin tones look great with copper tones, which give the skin a beautiful look.
3. Deep Auburn
Auburn is a sophisticated, red in the form of a red and brown mix that appears rich, earthy and deeply elegant. It is one of the most “wearable” shades in the entire red family as it has enough brown tone to appear natural at high depth and richness.
4. Strawberry Blonde
If you want to try a little bit of red, but don’t want to go all the way, strawberry blonde will be the way to go. The light, golden-pink tone has a subtle hint of red to add a bit of warmth to blonde hair while remaining sunny and fresh to give an air of romance.
5. Burgundy and Wine
Burgundy is a cool and dark shade of red, one that’s more jewel-like than velvet. It’s one of the most showy colours in the full colour wheel, and looks luxurious and chic at the same time.
6. Balayage Red
One of the most popular hair color techniques, regardless of type, is balayage, which is French for painting with light brushes. When used in the red spectrum, it produces a beautiful multi-dimensional color palette with more vibrant shades/darker red or copper hues blending through a darker base.
7. Fiery Orange-Red
Bold, brazen, and altogether unapologetic — the fire is orange-red and isn’t a place for the faint of heart. This is an intense saturation of this colour, which is nearer to orange on the colour spectrum, but with enough red to make it warm and not accidentally! Imagine the most spectacular sunset you’ve ever witnessed and place it on your head!
8. Dark Oxblood Red
The colour of Oxblood is at the deepest end of the reds – almost black with a definite red tint which truly shows up in sunlight. Under interior lights, it comes across as a sophisticated deep brunette. Step outside and the red is alive, vibrant and rich in colour and meaning.
