Special masks, which include macadamia and shea butter, will help prolong the durability of the copper-golden hue.

Ash red

The shade is considered warm, however, dyeing the hair ash-red will make the look colder. A great option for the warm season. If there is no desire to radically change the image, you can experiment and use a small strand for coloring in search of the most suitable shade.

Golden red

Peach

Fashionable coloring in a peach shade will be an excellent choice not only for girls, but also for older women. The palette of red shades with a peach overflow will beautify every representative of the fairer sex, regardless of eye shade and skin color.

On a note! If you have a desire to radically change the image and dye your hair in a rich auburn or copper color, you should know that the coloring pigment penetrates deeply into the hair structure, so it will be extremely difficult to remove the color if, for some reason, the result does not meet expectations.

Red velvet

A catchy and bright shade is preferred by brave and fatal ladies. To prevent the face from fading against the background of the fiery frame, the makeup must match the chosen image. Red shades emit light, make the image more feminine, romantic.If the girl has long hair, the rich velvet palette will accentuate the beauty of the flowing curls.

Deep copper

Shades of rich red are not only beautiful, but also mystical. The deep copper color is quite picky, since it can highlight the imperfections of the facial skin, areas with inflammation, age spots. If we take into account the color type, then the palette looks harmonious both in the cold season and in warm weather. An important nuance when choosing a color is the tint of the skin and eyes. Since copper is one of the warm tones, deep copper will effectively emphasize skin with a pink or yellowish type.

Ripe pomegranate

Among all the varieties of the red palette, the pomegranate color stands out especially brightly. The color scheme is preferred because of its richness, saturation, mystery. Ripe pomegranate is a universal color that suits all girls without restrictions.

Dyeing techniques balayazh, ombre, shatush on red hair

Technological trends such as balayazh, ombre, schatush make the image interesting and unique.

Balayazh

The technique involves the use of no more than 3 shades of the dye, which are applied to the curls in a chaotic manner. The staining technique makes the transition from one shade to another invisible and soft, as a result of which it is possible to achieve naturalness and aesthetics.

Ombre

The staining technique also represents a smooth transition from one color to another. Both light red and copper, saturated tones can be used. Applying ombre to short hair will add volume to the hairstyle. The technology is suitable for hair of any length. In order to favorably emphasize the advantages of the technique, the ombre is performed on dark curls. A smooth transition is carried out from the root dark area to the light end of the hair.

Shatush

Shatush is a special technology of highlighting, as a result of which the curls acquire a natural look of hair, which seems to have slightly faded in the sun. The combination of light and dark red tones looks original. Shatush is applied both in a certain part and for the entire volume of the hairstyle.

Modern technology makes the strands more voluminous and attractive. For medium hair, shatush will be an excellent choice.

Technological ideas will make it possible to translate any ideas into reality, taking into account fashion trends.

Carrot shade

The absolute leader among all shades of red in terms of brightness. The carrot shade is an artificial color that is achieved by lightening the hair and dyeing it in a red tone with the addition of mixtons. This color is very original, one might say shocking and not every girl will go. In particular, it is most suitable for owners of white, porcelain skin.

But it is always worth remembering that this shade of red will be quite difficult to remove if you decide to repaint.

How to make your hair brighter. Natural methods

If you have natural red tones in your hair or want to refresh the shine of your red-colored hair, consider the following color-enhancing mask.

You will need:

• 3 medium carrots;
• 2 tablespoons of honey;
• 3 tablespoons yogurt (no fillers)
• 1/2 cup cranberries
• Shampoo.

Grind carrots and cranberries in a blender until a coarse paste is obtained, add yogurt and honey - mix thoroughly.Apply shampoo to the hair, then the resulting mask, massage it evenly over all hair. Action time from 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

How it works: beta-carotene in carrots and cranberries - the main natural dyes (besides, it is vitamin A), when mixed with the fats of yogurt, they become active, at the same time, lactic acid activates antioxidants, and honey fixes the result with a small content of peroxide, simultaneously moisturizing the hair. The result is more intense color and healthier hair.

Hairstyles for red hair

Red hair is often thick and lush, and sometimes curly. Lush hair in fiery shades never fits perfectly. They are characterized by a slight disorder, which gives liveliness and emotionality to the image. Therefore, hairstyles for redheads will emphasize their splendor, while leaving some freedom.
If the hair is dyed and does not have the required volume, then it is created artificially: by combing, curling, "disheveled" braids.

Bundles for red hair

The main rule for creating such hairstyles is to observe at least the minimum freedom for the hair. The bun should not be tight, and the hair "should" flow into it in jets. This allows the hair to fall out of the hairstyle, but at the same time is in harmony with the overall composition.

Braids for red hair

As with the bundles in braids, the principle of freedom is important: do not tighten them tight. The fluffy braid is more volume, which gives the hair from the advantageous side. If you are not satisfied with the volume, you can use ribbons or false hair.

For a casual look, release a few strands of hair around your face. On red hair, spikelets and two-stage braids look good: thin braids woven into a thick one.

Free hairstyle

These are tails and thin rim braids. The main purpose of these hairstyles is to give the impression of a creative mess. They are accompanied by puffs and perms, giving the impression of unbridledness and energy of a red-haired girl.

Hairstyle wave for red hair

An unusual hairstyle that looks especially good on red hair, giving the wearer a retro look. Wave requires smooth or semi-wavy hair. Unlike all other hairstyles, this one will try to curb your hair and give your hair a perfectly sleek look. Here you will need the entire hairdressing arsenal: perm, varnishes, foams, gels, waxes, etc.

Flowers in red hair

As I already mentioned: the red color creates lively, colorful couples with almost all natural shades. The flowers in this hair are comparable to an artful painting and can create stunning looks.

As an alternative to flowers, various colored hairpins, headbands, crabs and elastic bands can be.

Short hairstyles with red hair

Due to the fact that the bright color emphasizes the color of the face, there are a great many short hairstyles in this range: from boyishly short to multi-level options. Of course, thick short hair looks attractive, but the intensity of the color will brighten up the lack of volume. A short hairstyle for fine red dyed hair is much preferable to light blond or long red hair.

Makeup for redhead girls

Red-haired girls have medium to high contrast in appearance. By dyeing your hair red and having a low contrast, you will have to keep it up to medium. Having a bright appearance, sometimes it is enough to add a little color or slightly enhance the native shades of the face, creating a natural make-up.

However, with red hair, you can afford medium-bright makeup that looks natural. Expressive eyes and lips against the backdrop of attractive hair color will make your look unforgettable.

As I said before, ginger people have an exceptional skin tone. It is bright enough, although it looks light. When choosing eye shadow, it should be borne in mind that the skin also needs an advantageous neighborhood.So, if you have green eyes, then shades of plum and carnation will suit you. For brown eyes, you should choose lilac shades with golden specks, champagne and glitter.

Blue eyes will harmonize well with shades based on gold and orange.

To emphasize the color, you should choose eyeliners in brown, eggplant and gray-black colors. For high eye contrast, you can use black mascara, but don't forget brown.

To choose blush and lipstick, you should know your color type. Above, I have listed what color types red-haired girls can belong to. And if we assume that you dyed yourself a red color according to your color type, then choose a lipstick using the main tone of your hair: if copper, then pigments for lips from lilac to burgundy. If your redhead is closer to honey, then the lipstick is selected based on the orange color. If dark shades of red, then lipstick and blush based on red, etc.

You can achieve the effect of glamorous sexuality by creating perfect lips. Bright lipstick and a clear lip shape against the background of the absence of eye and eyebrow make-up intensely emphasize the hair color and the uniqueness of your own style.

Overview of paint manufacturers

The modern beauty industry today presents a huge variety of red colors that allow you to choose the perfect combination with any female appearance. On the shelves of many stores are all familiar hair dyes from well-known manufacturers, including special preference is given to famous brands.

• Garnier. It is this manufacturer that has a huge number of advantages over its competitors. Any dye composition stays on the hair for a long time. The product contains only natural ingredients, which makes the hair coloring process safer for curls.

Another important advantage of the Garnier manufacturer is a wide color palette of red shades.

• Palette. The color card of this manufacturer is quite wide, assuming the presence of a variety of hair colors. A huge plus of the brand is the pricing policy and the presence of rulers indicating the level of color fastness.

The disadvantage of Palette paint is the strong smell of ammonia. Quite rarely, but there were cases when the result obtained did not correspond to the color promised on the package.

• Estel. Highly resistant colors, which contain plant oil that protect hair from damage and negative environmental influences. They do not contain ammonia, and after dyeing, the hair acquires an extraordinary shine, especially for red shades.

• L'Oreal. The coloring formulations of this manufacturer are firmly kept on the hair for more than two months. It is this paint that paints gray hair with high quality, for which it is highly valued by middle-aged women.

L'Oreal has a fairly wide color card, thanks to which every woman who wants to make her hair red will be able to choose the most suitable shade.

Coloring features

Today, world-class stylists offer their clients a variety of hair dyeing options, especially when it comes to red color in all its manifestations. On short haircuts, contrast highlighting is most often used, and on long curls, the well-known stretch is used by all.

It is worth noting that the use of several shades of red in one hairstyle looks very impressive in the image of young girls. Colored strands belonging to dark shades of red will decorate the curls of women of middle age and older.

The dyeing process itself in experienced hands, even at home, does not cause much trouble, although it is much easier to change the color on short haircuts. As it should be, in order to obtain uniform coloring, the roots are first processed, and after that the paint is evenly distributed over the entire length of the hair.

After some time, when the roots grow slightly, they should be painted with the same color of the dye composition.

The process of dyeing long hair is different. Initially, the hair is divided into separate strands, fixed with hairpins or clips. The coloring composition is evenly applied to each curl. For an accurate explanation, it is proposed to familiarize yourself with the step-by-step technology for dyeing long curls.

1. Prepare the coloring composition according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use other substances when mixing.
2. Comb your hair, divide into strands. Raise the upper curls. Initially, the lower part of the hair is painted over.
3. Apply the paint evenly, starting from the roots and going down to the ends.
4. Use a similar system to paint the upper curls.
5. Wait for the allotted time, then rinse the coloring composition from the hair under running water.
6. It is imperative to treat the hair with a conditioner balsam when washing off.
7. After that, blot wet hair with a towel and wait for it to dry naturally. A hairdryer should not be used.
8. It is possible to assess the finished hair tone only after the curls have dried.

How to find the right shade

When choosing a color, you should focus on the features of your appearance. Redhead is not for everyone, but you can still choose the most suitable shade, the main thing is that it is combined with the skin type, facial features, eye color and general style:

• The first criterion for choosing a color for hair dye is skin tone. Girls with a pinkish undertone can choose almost any shade of red. Golden options, copper and chestnut options are suitable for them. Swarthy girls with olive skin should abandon light tones and give preference to shades of cinnamon or golden chestnut options. For very dark skin or intense tanning, choose rich, vibrant shades with a strong red tint. And for girls with pale, porcelain-transparent skin, light colors are suitable, which will be difficult to distinguish from natural ones;
• The second item is eye color. The color of the hair will also affect the color of the iris, it will look different. In addition to the classic combination with green eyes, red will suit brown eyes. Gray shades are combined with copper hair worse, in this case you will have to experiment with the color. Natural options are best;
• When dyeing your hair, it is important to take into account its natural color. The pigment will appear differently on different shades. If the hair is naturally dark, wine, cherry, dark shades will fit well on it. If you want a bright red or golden tone, you will first have to lighten your hair, which will have a very negative effect on its condition, appearance and health.

Light brown and blonde hair can be dyed in golden, brown, amber shades. Cinnamon and other dark tones will look good too, but if the result is not satisfactory, it will be very difficult to return the previous color.

How to care for red-colored hair

To maintain a bright, rich red hair color for a long time and not to renew it every month, you will have to reconsider hair care. Follow these guidelines, and your hair will delight you with a shiny, bright color for a long time:

• Prepare your hair for coloring. Start applying nourishing hair masks, special balms and conditioners a month before your procedure. Hair will become manageable and less brittle. The color holds better on healthy hair. For the same reason, for two weeks before staining, refrain from drying with a hot hairdryer, curling with tongs, straightening with an iron, styling with alcohol-containing products;
• After shampooing, rinse dyed hair with cool herbal decoctions. This will give the hair extra vitality;
• If you dye your hair yourself, at home, try to distribute the dye evenly. Ask for help if you can't paint over the back of the head;
• Use special color fixers. They will help to maintain the shade even with frequent shampooing;
• Do not wash your hair earlier than two days after dyeing.During this time, the pigment is completely absorbed into the hair, fixed on them and will not be washed off with shampoo;
• Buy specialty shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. They cleanse the hair more delicately, do not penetrate deep into the hair, close the scales and smooth the structure. Even more effective are products designed for red hair. They retain pigment and color brightness for a long time.
• Make homemade masks and balms to moisturize and nourish your hair. Also, avoid going to the pools for a month after dyeing. Bleach has a negative effect on the pigment and condition of hair, which is already damaged by dyes. Protect strands from the negative effects of sunlight with special sprays and other products.

Conclusion

The ginger color palette is unusually rich and varied. Any woman can choose the right shade with such wealth. You just need to take into account the peculiarities of the skin, eye color and the natural shade of the hair.
