The hairdresser usually asks: "which red do you like?" The answer is almost always vague and confusing. To clarify the ideas, the hairdresser shows a color catalog made up of hundreds of colored hair strands, but which one to choose? What is the right shade? Who does red hair look good on?
The perfect color is what we like but also the one that looks best based on your complexion, facial features and eye color . To help you find the ideal color, below we introduce you to all types of red and give you useful tips on which one to choose with photos of the looks to find the perfect red!
The natural red hair usually correspond to a skin type with green eyes and heavenly hot tips, very fair skin with pink undertones and freckles . It is a shade that also suits those with brown eyes with yellow tips and slightly amber skin . Avoid if you have dark skin, black or olive skin.
The natural red hair is often also called Irish red because since in the past the majority of people with red hair - or even with the characteristic red hair -they were of Caucasian populations from Ireland or the UK . Women and men with red hair from birth have a light skin color due to the low concentration of melanin, which is why they are more likely to be sunburned. Those who decide for a natural red tint usually also opt for the dyeing of the eyebrows, if they are not already clear, to give harmony to the face.
Intense coppery red is a color that stands out and greatly enhances both light and dark eyes. It is good for those with fair skin with warm undertones , while it out of place if you have a cold and lunar undertone. You can see it in the images below. Those with a warm undertone like Madelaine Petsch get a very harmonious result between facial skin and hair color. On those with a cold undertone, a sharp contrast is created that highlights facial redness, wrinkles and imperfections. To soften this effect, you can opt for an intense coppery red balayage while keeping the roots one or two shades darker as Kate Walsh did .
This is the perfect red for those with jeweled , blue or green eyes . Give to fair-skinned girls and likewise to dark-skinned, ebony women. It is a color without age limits because it can be worn with ease both by the youngest and by women in their fifties, sixties or seventies. Mahogany hair offers a beautiful yield even when you have lightly tanned skin, in spring summer.
Copper hair looks good on those with ice-colored eyes and has very light skin with neutral undertones, but also on slightly darker skin with yellow undertones. This warm color combined with layered haircuts softens the facial features. Ideal for girls but also as a cut for the over 50s and over 60s like the wonderful actress Marcia Cross. In the images below you can see the beauty of this shade.
It's a red similar to mahogany but darker, so the same tips apply. Dark red is perfect for those with a cool undertone of skin . Those with very warm natural skin tones should avoid it, as it will make the skin appear paler and duller. The only way to avoid this effect is to introduce lighter coppery highlights like Sara Rue did . This dye is often seen on the heads of famous women during the fall winter season. It allows you to have a sober and not too flashy look while sporting a red color.
A middle ground between copper tone and mahogany, therefore suitable for all ! The two shades of red give dynamism and light to the hair. A sort of wild red, which you can try to get closer to the hue.
An unnatural color. It is a red that suits those with a regular face with few imperfections, because this shade will be relentless: it will highlight them all. Not recommended for those with a big nose, round or square face. It is a shade for those who love extreme cuts and have a face with delicate features , to which the fiery red will add character, energy and magic. As for the eyebrows we advise you to leave them natural like Rihanna or May Jagger. If you bleach them and apply a fiery red tint, the effect will really be 'too much' like Hayley Williams'!
Very warm and intense color , it is only good for those with warm natural skin undertones . On skin with cold undertones and jewel eyes, the effect is to flatten both the hair and skin color and the intensity of the gaze. On the contrary, the naturally amber nuances of the eyes and complexion stand out. The copper blonde is enhanced more on long bob cut or on long hair.
If you have a nice brown base and want to spice it up a little, a red highlight is for you. It is good for natural browns , with dark skin and eyes, but also for those with cold skin and green eyes. It is a good color to try the first trauma-free approaches to red using a coloring shampoo. The effect will be more noticeable if your base is hazelnut or caramel brown will be noticed a little less if you start with a chocolate or mocha brown.
A perfect middle ground between blond and red. A shade that tends to orange, darker than peach blonde , which can be bright or opaque, according to taste. Who is this red orange color good for? You must have a complexion with a warm or neutral undertone. Green, hazelnut or brown eyes with a hint of yellow are the ones that are most appreciated. Green light to lengths, curly, wavy or straight red hair, the wow effect is guaranteed as Katherine McNamara shows us with her enchanting blonde red!
Medium brown with a red sheen gives women warm natural skin tones . If you can avoid the coppery reflection, and focus everything on light mahogany, it becomes perfect even for cold and dark skins. Reflected red brown hair is the most requested in salons by those who do not like flat colors but on the contrary appreciate vibrant colors . They are recommended for those with fine and thin hair because they optically give more volume to the hair .
The red eggplant or red wine is good for women with green or blue eyes and cold undertone skin. This is an artificial color that is not easy to maintain especially if our hair is yellowish white or generally light with a reddish component. It must be treated carefully to avoid making it veer towards fuchsia, light plum or pink. When the hair is exposed to the sun, the purple-red hair tends to change, yellow or turn orange . For this it is essential to use a protective sun product for dyed hair and possibly an anti-yellow shampoo. The most appropriate cut for purplish red is the pixie cut !
If a completely red hair does not convince you, su can opt for streaks or chatouche. Red locks are good for those with dark bases , from black to brown or light brown hair, while blondes should avoid them, the contrast would be excessive. The most popular are certainly the red streaks on brown hair. In the pictures you can see how beautiful Alexandra Breckenridge's look is!
Titian red is an elegant and sophisticated shade that expresses character and strong personality. Chosen by many actresses and career women, it greatly enhances brown eyes. It has the ability to look good on everyone, whether combined with light skin, or with olive skin, warm tones and cold tones. They are not recommended to bleaching, preferably a homogeneous titian colored, because the look otherwise it would become too artificial. Among the famous women Julia Roberts is the greatest representative of this color.
Here's another unnatural tone that's part of the bright red family. It looks good on women with cold skin undertones and black or green and blue eyes. Better a color without reflections and shades because it already tends to be a vibrant color. As far as the care of this red ginger is concerned, the same rules apply as for the intense aubergine red. If you want to get a nice homogeneous and covering color for cherry red hair, rely on a good hairdresser and avoid doing it yourself!
Dark or light skin doesn't matter, ruby red looks good on women with a cool, non-amber undertone , both for the complexion and for the eyes. They are also called burgundy red hair and are among the ideal colors for women of character. The combination of ruby red hair and green eyes is certainly the most appropriate!
Those with black hair usually also have dark, amber or black skin with brown, black or light eyes. It is to them that this red gives the most. When it comes to black red hair, the color technique involves a bleaching of the strands on which a red tint is then applied. The root is left dark.
The shades can be created with different dyeing techniques, from balayage to red shatush , the important thing is that they are always in harmony with the tones of the face base. Those who do not want to have problems with regrowth can leave the natural base if it is brown or black . The shades can be made along the entire length, only on the tips or on the fringe and tuft in the case of short red hair. The ombre hair or degradé red hair has been all the rage in the past years, now they are less trendy but still quite in demand in hair stylist salons.
Almost a coppery honey blonde but with a more evident red component. Light red looks good on girls and women with green, blue or brown eyes with hints of yellow and a neutral skin tone. Light red hair must be well cared for to avoid the washed-out tint that occurs when semi-permanent colors are used badly. The hairdresser will be our most faithful ally to preserve a rich and intense color .
Such a beautiful and vivid tone as red hair should always be highlighted by unconventional hairstyles. You must not abound with accessories including clips, flowers or hairpins or bijoux, you must let the nuances stand out fully. Collected or semi-collected hair , but also hairstyles with braids and chignon enhance the red hair. Curls, waves and curls are typically the type of hairstyle that best highlights red. To avoid stressing dyed hair, however, do not overdo it too much with the use of a hairdryer, straightener and curling iron .
To get the perfect red for us, we obviously have to color our hair. Looking at the base , the hairdresser decides whether to bleach, how much to bleach and how. It must be taken into account that the bleaching brings out the natural auburn pigment of the hair, if any. So those who choose cold tones , must undergo longer shutter speeds to have the desired red tone. It is possible to color the hair with the typical permanent dye or, to try something less drastic in view of an afterthought, better to choose semi-permanent dyes, toning and reflecting.
The semi-permanent dyes do not penetrate the structure of the hair, but nonetheless contain ammonia and other chemical agents. They have the advantage of going away after a short time, usually a few weeks. The riflessanti are perfect for those who already have a natural red and wants to give a new shine to the hair, but also who has blond hair in warm tones and light brown hair can opt for highlighters, that goes away after a few shampoos. Natural hair highlights never contain harmful chemicals, which is why they can be used during pregnancy (pay attention to the ingredients on the label!). A middle ground between semi-permanent dye and highlighter is the coloring shampoo. There are various types and they disappear with 8 or 10 shampoos.
The most natural red solution for hair is henna dye. It has few contraindications, is usually tolerated even by allergy sufferers and can be prepared at home. The shutter speeds are long (there are those who keep henna on their hair up to 8 hours) and you have to pay attention to the composition: it must contain only Lawsonia Inermis to be truly pure. Henna harmonizes with the natural tones of the hair, so the same product composition can give different results from hair to hair.
Red is among the most desired hair colors in the female world. Why do they like it so much? Because red is a warm color , it is a nuance that envelops, it is lively, vibrant. Red is one of the three additive primary colors. What does red communicate? It expresses momentum, speed, power and joy , but also passion and love .
Red is the most inspiring and engaging color across the spectrum. A woman who loves red is a person of character , who is not afraid of being the center of attention, who knows what she wants and is sure of herself.
Redheads have been the subject of many prejudices . In the Middle Ages, red hair (the color of the devil) and green eyes were the sign of recognition of a witch . Among the superstitions also the belief that red-haired people brought bad luck or were bad , an example is the protagonist character of 'Rosso Malpelo' the short story of Verga. Also widespread is the idea that the genetics of naturally red hair also brings with it a fiery temperament like that of the protagonist of 'Anna of the red hair'. Fortunately, these beliefs no longer exist today and, on the contrary, women and men with red hair are greatly appreciated for their refinement and originality.
After this roundup of photos and many useful tips, all that remains is to choose the most suitable red hair, print the image and take it to your trusted hairdresser! Those who prefer do-it-yourself can experiment with a dye at home but better start with a semi-permanent product!
