From soft strawberry blonde and glowing copper to bold cherry and rich ruby tones, red hair is always guaranteed to turn heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s one of the most striking colour choices you can make,\u201d says colour expert Callie. \u201cThese hot hues are bold, eye-catching and can completely transform your look.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But going red isn\u2019t quite as simple as picking a shade you like on Insta. The most flattering red for you depends on your skin tone, your style and how much upkeep you want day to day. Get it right, and your hair can look incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the biggest decisions when choosing a red shade is finding the tone that works beautifully with your complexion. Reds can range from soft and subtle to bold and dramatic and the right undertone makes all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair skin: soft copper, strawberry blonde, light auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medium skin: rich copper, true red, warm auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olive skin: deeper reds, cherry, red-violet tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darker skin: deep auburn, burgundy, red-black tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEye colour can enhance the final look,\u201d explains Callie, \u201cbut skin tone is usually the best place to start. Your stylist can then tailor the perfect shade from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before taking the plunge, it\u2019s worth knowing that red tones usually fade faster than most other colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s because red pigment molecules are larger than other colour molecules, so they don\u2019t always hold as deeply in the hair. Washing, heat styling and sun exposure can all soften the tone over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRed is high impact, but it does need a little more upkeep to keep it looking fresh,\u201d explains Liberty. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s difficult, but it does mean planning for maintenance from the start so your colour stays glossy and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few simple habits can make a big difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.<\/strong> Switch to a colour-safe shampoo such as Wella Colour Brilliance to prevent fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> Use a colour-depositing conditioner or mask, like Wella Colour Brilliance, between appointments to keep tones rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> Always apply heat protection before styling with heated tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> Wash less often and use dry shampoo to stretch time between washes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5.<\/strong> Turn the water down to lukewarm to extend the life of your colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many clients also love booking quick gloss or refresh appointments between colour services. It\u2019s the easiest way to keep your hair looking salon-fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Going red often changes more than just your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some clients find they tweak their makeup \u2013 warmer blush tones, a softer brow shade or a lip colour that complements their new look. You may even notice certain clothing colours suddenly suit you more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s part of the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a version of red for almost everyone. The secret is choosing one that suits your complexion, your personality and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Book a Colour Consultation and we\u2019ll help you find your ideal shade, talk through maintenance and create a red look that feels completely you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Red, red vibes From soft strawberry blonde and glowing copper to bold cherry and rich ruby tones, red hair is always guaranteed to turn heads. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most striking colour choices you can make,\u201d says colour expert Callie. \u201cThese hot hues are bold, eye-catching and can completely transform your look.\u201d But going red isn\u2019t […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions\/51"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reedhair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Red hair changes more than you think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
