Jessica Rabbit, anyone?
However, it’s also one of the rarest naturally occurring hair colors out there. Only two percent of the population is born with red hair!
Which can explain why so many people turn to their hairdressers to help them obtain the color in a salon setting.
No matter your skin tone, there is a shade of red out there that can suit you perfectly. For lighter skin tones, consider colors like ginger, rose gold, or light copper.
For darker skin tones, colors such as red velvet, burgundy, or mahogany, will complement you best.
The only downside to rocking this hair color is that it does require quite a bit of maintenance. But if you’re a natural redhead, disregard this information.
However, if you’re a bottle redhead, invest in a color depositing shampoo and conditioner to keep your color fresh between salon visits.
Also, try to limit the number of hot tools you use. Heat can even break down the color in your hair and cause the color to fade and dull with time, so try a few heatless hairstyles to show off your red hair.
If you want to get creative, play around with accessories like clips, bandanas, and bands. If you worry about colors clashing, keep in mind that red looks best with colors like yellow, white, green, blue, and black.
For appropriate styles, turn to boxer braids if you’re going to the gym or running errands around town. If you’d like something more sophisticated, consider a gorgeous ‘milkmaid’ inspired braided crown.
Wearing extensions can also provide more volume while protecting your red hair from damaging hot tools. The bottom line is that red hair is beautiful, and will give you that extra va-va voom you’re looking for. But it does take some work.
Therefore, consider some of these other trendy and wonderful hairstyles for women if you want to do your red hair justice.
