Tips On How To Dye Your Hair Red

Shade selection is critical!  The right red hair color will make your skin come alive; the wrong choice will make you appear sallow and ill!  As a general rule of thumb, select warm red hair colors like ginger, copper and auburn if you have very fair or very warm skin.  Select cool red hair colors like red violet, ruby and red velvet if you have dark or cool skin.

Red hair color looks best when it’s vivid.  To prevent red hair color from fading, ask your hair stylist for shampoo and conditioner formulas that are specifically made for colored hair.  These formulas are free of the ingredients that tend to strip hair color, and they keep hair shiny and keep red hair color vibrant.

Red hair color should be kept out of the sun.  The sun will cause any hair color to fade, and since it’s important to keep red hair color bright and vivid, it’s a good idea to keep it covered with a hat or scarf when outdoors to avoid UV exposure.

Avoid over-shampooing.  Shampooing too frequently is another way that red hair color can become faded.  Try to skip a few days between shampoos if possible.  If your roots become oily or dirty, try using a dry shampoo to keep your scalp fresh between shampoos.

See your stylist regularly.  Because red hair color can fade quickly, it’s important to make regular appointments for retouches.  Your stylist will touch up your roots, and also use a gentle, ammonia-free hair color on the rest of your hair that will keep your red hair color even and vibrant without damaging your hair.

Select your makeup carefully.  Play up the warmth of your red hair color with rosy or peach cheek and lip colors.  Green shadows and liners can be beautiful on eyes if you have red hair color, as can various shades of brown!
