It is quite difficult to meet mischievous “mushrooms” on the street. Few have a red hair color from birth, but those who would dare to take a step to become a "redhead" are also not enough. This hair color remains out of fashion and time, in contrast to the techniques of dyeing and haircuts.

Who is red hair suitable for?

Well, I wanted to change my life in a decisive way, and the business began with hair color. Having bought a pack of paint in the nearest store or having come to a beauty salon, it is worth considering some of the nuances.

Ideally red hair color is suitable for women:

• with fair skin;
• "Cold" eyes;
• aristocratic structure of the face.

Even if such features are not observed in women, you can always choose your own shade, based on natural data - the type of appearance. But there are also such categories of women for whom red hair color will not become the highlight of the image.

And who does not suit?

• gray hairs by the number of more than half of all available, and also if the hair is overdried, there is significant damage to the hair structure;
• there are many age-related wrinkles;
• there are age spots, a large number of moles and freckles.

All the rest of the young ladies should devote more time to the selection of a suitable shade, then such coloring will adorn the whole image.

Examples of shades from a photo

The widest palette of red shades allows you to choose the optimal tone for almost any woman. But in order not to miss, it is better to follow some recommendations.

Bright red

This shade will be a daring decision for the owners of brown and black eyes. In this case, the color saturation does not matter: whether it is "light copper" or a bright sunny orange. But this tone should not be chosen by beauties with eyes the color of the sky and near the nearest shades.

Auburn

One of those shades that look very natural on the hair, without overloading the image with color. Suitable for a lady with any eye color and skin tone. This shade will add a special sophistication, aristocracy to a woman. A red, golden hue will add special charm to the overflow.

Carrot shade

Another option to make your new hairstyle as natural as possible is the carrot shade. It has a rich palette: calm balanced tones, rich colors for red beasts, rich tones with a golden sheen. Will look great on fair-skinned women. The preferred eye color is green, gray, sky blue.

Fiery red

More than a bold color chosen by confident future red-haired beauties. The fire palette is incredibly wide, so the strands can be dyed in different ways, depending on the appearance: darker options are perfect for girls with dark skin. Light tones of fiery red will go well with pale skin.

Light red

Light shades look somehow unnatural on the hair. For a balanced look, light red is recommended for owners of pale or pinkish skin. Eye color with this choice is not fundamental.

The shade map of this color can be different. More restrained tones of red-red are universal: any skin tone and eye can be combined with a new hair color. A bright option will suit a lady with fair skin.

Red-blonde

Luxurious light brown curls just play in the sun if they have a reddish tint. This hair color can be from birth, it can also be achieved by toning. This hair color is suitable for women with any skin and eye color.

Coppery

Ladies with any skin tone can boldly decorate their hair in this color, but green eyes will give a special charm and mystery to their appearance. But this does not mean that women with a different eye color cannot pamper themselves with such a shade. It can look closer to a fiery palette or be darkened. In any case, the gleam of coppery red will ennoble the image.

Reddish brown

Brown pigments will tame the red color, so there are a lot of chances that the shade will work optimally. Whether it is dark skin or pale - this shade will look great against its background. Mahogany notes will add playfulness to the strands, and in the sun this color will have many reflections.

Chestnut red

A rich tone will look great on fair-skinned beauties. This color copes well with the manifestation of gray hair, the shade is in harmony with any haircut. Therefore, ladies over middle age should pay attention to it.

Ash red

Very "young" shade with notes of ash. It is not recommended to choose middle-aged women, so as not to visually add extra years. It stands out favorably against the background of pale skin, eye color is not important. As a bold variation, the shade can be used for darker women. In this case, it is better to choose a more intense redhead with barely perceptible signs of ashy.

Chocolate red

Deep red with an admixture of chocolate is an excellent option for women who risked acquiring a new shade, but did not dare to take a radical step. The "trick" of this shade is versatility - in poor lighting, the curls seem dark blond, in the sun - red-haired. This shade copes well with gray strands.

Red-pink

An original tint ensemble is created in a tandem of red color with pink tones. This shade is good for young girls. Young ladies with any color type will be able to dye their hair in such an unusual color.

Golden red

Hair color can approach golden-chestnut tones, oak, chocolate. Whatever it is, the tone will adorn the image of girls with any skin tone. Often, when dyeing in this color, you have to pre-lighten the hair. Therefore, it is simply necessary to pay attention to the care of such a "fiery" hair so that it does not turn into a washcloth.

Pre-lightening before reaching a given shade is inevitable. A redhead on such a blond will be bright and bold. A red-haired beast with such a shade will not be left without attention. If the reddish tone was applied to a natural blonde, then the manifestation of "redness" will not be so intense. A universal color that will suit almost everyone.

Caramel red

Such an interesting shade will ennoble the redhead and give the curls a soft color. Suitable for ladies with dark skin, brown eyes will give a unique zest to the image. Effectively, natural and lightened blondes can be painted in this color. If you want to paint over the gray hair, the caramel-red color is a good option.

Achieving the planned red color is not easy, especially at home. Difficulties can easily arise, for example, if the goal is to turn into a golden red-haired blond with the original dark blond.

The sequence of actions when painting in red color may differ depending on the original shade of the hair. But sometimes it is very easy to become a red-haired lady, and the price is a penny.

If the original color is brown.

The easiest way with this hair color is to dye it in chocolate, chestnut, auburn, etc. It is enough to buy natural henna and make such a coloring at home. Alternatively, balms and shampoos with tint action will come to the rescue. For a more lasting and obvious effect, it is worth using a permanent paint. When choosing dark shades of red, you should pay attention to your eyebrows. Dyeing your eyebrows a dark brown is a great option for a harmonious look.

If the transition to red occurs radically and, for example, a fiery color of a strand is chosen, then you will have to lighten at least 3 tones, and only then go into red. It will not be superfluous to mentally prepare for the fact that any discoloration will lead to a deterioration in the condition of the hair, and therefore additional procedures for caring for them cannot be avoided.

If the original color is light brown

Whatever the shade of light brown, it can be tinted. Dark or light shades lend themselves well to tint shampoos, balms. Henna also plays an important role here. With its help, you can achieve at least not bright, but natural results.

With light brown, it is convenient to achieve both dark and light shades of red. If henna did not bring the desired effect, then professional paint will definitely correct the situation. Stylists recommend dyeing a few weeks after using henna, as the result of the procedure can be unpredictable, and, most likely, not in favor of the red-haired girl.

If the original color is blond

It doesn't matter what kind of work the woman got the hair color, but in any case, it is great to switch from it to bright red shades. You can choose a dark one, but it will quickly wash out of the hair. Therefore, it is better to carry out such experiments in several stages: first darken the hair, and then dye it red.

If you use the original blond color, then you can get by with various tonics and balms. The effect will last no longer than a month, but there will be a minimum of trauma for the hair.

Selection of paint for dyeing curls in red

Each time the choice of coloring agents leads a woman to panic: choose a professional paint without ammonia or get by with a cheaper agent. If the choice falls in the direction of natural dyes like henna, then the hair not only acquires the desired reddish shade, but also receives additional care. When choosing a paint, most often, we are not talking about the benefits for the hair.

1. Price. Although decent paints cost the corresponding money, eminent brands try to justify their products to the maximum, this concerns, first of all, the composition. Professional paints often contain natural ingredients. Palettes of such paints are observed in beauty salons, and the master may well vouch for the result obtained.
2. Compound. Do not abuse the ammonia composition of paints. They drain the hair, and if the red color requires regular tinting and toning, then the result will be clearly deplorable.
3. Tint. The right shade is half the battle. On the back of the package there is a small stretch of colors - outgoing and the one that will be obtained after the staining procedure. If you cannot choose it yourself, then it is better to resort to the help of specialists and contact a beauty salon.

Any dyeing is a significant stress on the hair. Their structure is damaged, after which the color fades, and the hair itself looks like straw. To prevent this from happening, you should "wisely" take care of your hairstyle:

1. After washing your hair, do not forget about conditioners, at least once a week - a mask;
2. Choose shampoos that are designed for colored hair;
3. If the color is quickly washed out, it is safe to use tonics or other tint products on natural ingredients;
4. Cut intensely damaged hair ends in time so that the head of hair does not turn into a shock of hair;
5. You should not often use thermal devices, so as not to further damage your hair.

Any staining requires care, but when it comes to color intensity, then you have to tinker with it. That only is the correct selection of hair products with color protection. Seeing a minimum of washed off red pigment while washing your hair, you can safely stop in search of your ideal product.

How to dye dark hair red

Red-haired beasts have always attracted attention with their appearance. Many believe that achieve a reddish color the first time is impossible. We want to dispel this myth, since the result can be achieved the first time, you just need to take into account a few nuances!

The ginger color has many shades, ranging from deep red to purple. When choosing which shade of red is right for you, determine your color type. For example, brunettes with a warm skin tone an auburn color will do. Blondes and fair-haired women with a light skin tone a golden chestnut color will do. For fair-haired beauties with dark skin shades of mahogany and dark caramel are suitable. Light red or chestnut is strictly prohibited.

Achieve a reddish color it is possible the first time or gradually, starting with coloring or highlighting in red tones. This will give you the opportunity to know if this color is right for you.

If your original color is just a few shades darker than what you want, then you don't have to lighten your hair. In this case, just apply paint to the strands. If you want a light red hair, then you have to lighten your hair.

Points to remember before dyeing it red.

If you are not sure, what shade of red you want to get - buy tinting products that are washed off. This will give you the opportunity to see if this color suits you, whether you feel harmonious, and only then is it painted with paint.

if you have White hair and you want to repaint in red, it is better to consult a professional, since this is difficult to do. If you want to hide your age, the red color will not help you with this! On the contrary, the red color attracts attention and all the flaws in appearance are striking.

The story of a red-haired girl or how to ruin your hair in four years.

This post is a warning to all girls who will ever have an obsession with dyeing their hair red.

First, grasp a few simple truths:

• Henna for dyeing will DRY the hair very strongly. You may not notice it after the first application, but if you use it constantly, your hair will become coarse and dry like a washcloth. I'm talking about the usual cheap Iranian henna in powder, without the addition of Basma and other evil spirits.
• Mass-market hair dyes are absorbed into the hair, gradually corroding your own pigment. If you just decide to stop dyeing your hair, your head will turn into an ordinary haystack.
• Auburn color DO NOT PAINT with a dark color. Even after washing. They will stubbornly at first with a red tint, and then gradually wash out into a red one. In the event that you painted regularly, I do not mean toning.
• Red color DOES NOT SUIT girls with dark skin.
• A cheap color hair tonic that DOES NOT RINSE OFF completely. Never. Especially watch out for girls with light hair color.
• Never bleach your hair with Blondex to brighten the color! The principle of "apply and wash it off right away, just to lighten the hair a little" will certainly work, but after that, you can immediately say goodbye to your hair and get ready to cut it off after a while. For they will become like a washcloth.
• If a red color really suits you, be prepared for the fact that even if you ever return your color, or dye it in a different color, you MUST want to go back to red again. It's like a drug if it really paints you.
• If you want to return your color after red, no methods other than "trim" will help. The red color is indestructible.

Everything that was said above has been tested for myself. My native hair color is light brown. Neither dark nor light.

Let's move on to my example - we look and learn from my mistakes. Get ready, it will be long and tedious. Lots of pictures and explanations.

The beginning of my "red-haired story". Hair dyed with henna:

Everything is very decent here, but this is just the beginning ... Unfortunately, there is no photo of henna-dried hair.

Sorry for the quality of the photo, but there are no others. Immediately after dyeing, the hair is dark, with a copper-reddish tint, but then the ebb is washed off and the usual normal dark red color is obtained.

The same color after several shampoos:

With tears I look at this photo, well, WHAT did not suit me then ???

Having entered the first year, I violently cut my length, on the advice of a dibilka-hairdresser, who said that my hair was split along the entire length. NIFIGA didn't help. The hair both split and continued to be cut, this is due to dyeing, the length has nothing to do with it. And my hair only began to look worse, although I was pretty much younger)

In the photo, the already washable color Palette XXL Fiery Phoenix:

After that I decided not to paint for a while. And she also made a Dolbon haircut

Result:

After some time, Palett XXL Fiery Phoenix and bangs are painted again:

Coloring with Palette again:

You can observe that each time the color became more thermonuclear, and moreover, without any lightening. The hair was lightened by the paint itself. The quality of the hair got worse, but only during the time without dye. After each new dyeing, the hair became smooth and began to shine. All due to the fact that its pigment completely disappeared from the hair and the dye filled the porous hair.

After that, I got to Miss Yekaterinburg, where I was forbidden to paint in red, although I still managed to paint before casting, but this time Copper Titian from Londa, which was mentioned above.

After Miss Yekaterinburg, I endured for quite a long time and didn’t put on makeup, and now it made me crazy to leave the red color. A naive Chukchi girl. I painted myself with paint Estel Love, color like Dark ash blonde:

As you can see, in the sun, the hair turns red.

Everything looks very cute at first:

But then it seemed to me that my hair is too dark, and I want to become a "tangerine". And then I came up with a "brilliant idea" - to smear the head with Blondex and immediately rinse it off. As if I won't ruin my hair, and the color will become brighter.

Photo after lightening and on top of painting with Fiery Phoenix:

after several washing procedures:

And here the quality of the hair deteriorated completely:

Beauty, isn't it?

And after that, even before the heap, I went south, burned out my bleached hair in the sun with the wrong care. There is no most deplorable photo, because as soon as I returned from the south, I immediately painted myself, and again in the dark. But this time professionally Estel Essex paint, color like medium light brown dark ash, something like that.

At first it was darker, without shine, but quickly washed off.

And that's it! From that moment on, I no longer painted. But six months later, my hair looked like this:

Above it seems to be of decent quality, and below it is a sosculous washcloth.

Why didn't I get my hair cut? I am terrified of short hair. Since I have them thin and like to curl up and puff up in different directions. And in general for me it is unfeminine and unacceptable ... Well, you saw what my length was before the start of the experiments.

But at this length I FINALLY! decided to have a haircut.

And now my head looks like this:

In the photo, just a clean head, washed with shampoo and conditioner, dried with a hair dryer.

Of course, you still need to trim a lot to restore the original hair quality. Now the ends are dry, split and bleached. Compared to regrown hair:

So I will cut cut cut cut ...

And the most annoying thing is that I have absolutely definitely decided that I will be tinted red again. Professional paint, and only from a good master.

So think before dyeing red and never lighten up with Blondex, especially before heading south.

All beautiful hair! I hope my post was helpful!

Before dyeing, take care of the quality of your hair. Dyes containing ammonia or hydrogen peroxide damage hair, whatever quality it is. Therefore, in any case, in order not to aggravate the situation with unhealthy hair, you must first bring them into proper condition. And only after that visit the hairdresser for coloring.

If you are sure of the decision, then mentally imagine your new image. As accurate as possible, in every detail.

In addition to external changes, material expenditures will also occur. You will probably have to update your wardrobe, cosmetics, if they are not in harmony with the new hair color

• In addition, to maintain color and eliminate overgrown roots, it will take about once every 3-4 weeks to paint them. This is an additional expense of finances and time if you are going to visit a hairdresser, and not to paint yourself at home.
• If you plan to paint at the master, then in advance study hairdressers, read reviews, choose a salon... For a better understanding, come to the chosen master and discuss the nuances of the future procedure. Explain what you want, what color and shade you have chosen. It is important that the person speaks the same language with you. There are situations when the master listens to the client, but in the end he does it in his own way, guided by his own experience. The client remains dissatisfied with the result and, as a result, makes negative advertising to the entire salon where this stylist works.
• Before staining preparation for the procedure needs to be started in a month... Store-bought masks, balms, hair conditioners, and natural are also suitable. They are easy to make at home literally from improvised means. Hair will be smoothed out, will acquire softness, elasticity. The paint will lie flat without stains. It is recommended to trim the ends and profile the hair before painting. Bright color looks great on flowing hair!
• The most important point is choice of paint shade... Start from skin color, eyes, general condition of hair and skin. Red colors are not recommended for women over 35. They are too bright and emphasize the grayness, pallor and yellowness of the skin.

Contraindications to staining

There are the following contraindications for hair coloring:

• Skin diseases: eczema, dermatitis, allergies. Respiratory tract diseases: bronchitis, asthma. Renal failure
• Menstrual bleeding- 1-3 days.
• Breast-feeding, pregnancy in the first 2 trimesters.
• Bad mood, bad feeling.

From blonde to tender redhead

The decision to radically change the look is not always easy. Hair dyeing for a couple of tones lighter or darker - wherever it went, but when the color goes from blonde to red or from black to red, then you should think about whether you need it. And yet, how to make a red color from a blonde?

But if you have already made a responsible decision, you want to change, and, it's easier for you than everyone else! For better absorption of paint, hairdressers often resort to complete discoloration of the strands, and only then give them the desired color. There is already discoloration, all that remains is to choose the desired shade.

Brown-haired women in this matter, too, will not be difficult to apply a yellow-red color to dark hair. In some cases, tinted shampoos are used just to add redness to their natural color. When the dye begins to wash out from the hair of the brown-haired woman, there will be no noticeable dramatic difference in colors, only the amount of redness will gradually decrease. But this problem will be solved regular touch-up... If you painted with professional paint, it can also be maintained with a tint balm to maintain the desired color.

If you are a natural brunette, then there will be no problems when switching from one color to another.

If, after clarification, you do not use wellness masks, balms for a long time, then, in the end, you will lose them forever. They will be cut, they will begin to crawl out in shreds, they will finally lose their appearance.

2. At least 2 weeks before the procedure stop using hair-damaging devices... Do not blow dry, do not perm, do not use tongs or curling irons, even curlers are not recommended. Give up styling products: gels, mousses, varnishes. During this time, the hair will have a rest from thermal and chemical stress.
3. Do at home herbal teas with which to rinse your hair. This will give vitality to the hair.
4. So that the color lasts for more than one week or even two, evenly apply the color to your hair... This will require a paintbrush and extra hands if you paint at home. Ask for help. There is no clear view on the back of the head.
5. Purchase in addition to the paint color fixer, which is specially created so that hair does not lose color longer.
6. Prepare a basin with filtered or mineral water so that after rinsing off the paint rinse hair her.
7. From the day of staining until the first shampooing, it should pass as at least 2 days... During this time, the coloring pigment is completely absorbed into the hair and fixed on it.
8. Use shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Conventional detergents penetrate deep into the hair and do a general cleaning there. Accordingly, the paint is quickly washed off. BUT there are no phosphates in specialized products... They act differently: they close the scales and smooth the hair structure. And since the paint is located inside, it does not come out, but, on the contrary, remains there for longer.
9. You shouldn't buy hair nourishment products in stores.... They are good for the hair itself, but they negatively affect the color, washing it out. This is due to the contained aggressive substances.
10. Sauna and pool visits are not recommended within a month after the procedure. High temperatures and the chlorine in the pool will speed up the color washout.
11. To restore moisture in curls, use homemade masks made from natural products as well as light air conditioners.
12. You have chosen a new color - red. To maintain its brightness, purchase special products for your color.
13. Beware direct sunlight, they burn out the color. Apply a heat protectant to your hair before going outside. These can be sprays, mousses, balms, creams, etc.

It's not scary to change, the main thing is to remember to take care of your hair and maintain its health and beauty.
