- The classics of the genre are a combination of red head and green eyes, in this case a mysterious and slightly witching image is created.
- Red shades go to fair-haired girls, since in this case there is no need for additional bleaching of the strands, which can damage the hair. Blondes can use for coloring both the most delicate shades of red color, and more daring, creative and daring.
- But if the skin has a tendency to blush often, then you should abandon such staining - red tones on the hair will only emphasize this already unpleasant feature.
- You should not resort to fiery shades and owners of problematic skin, as bright colors attract excessive attention to all the flaws of the exterior, bringing these imperfections to the fore.
- Women aged should be as careful as possible with the choice of shade. Too bright “acid” tones I can emphasize the beginning age-related changes and throw the owner of the hair 5-10 extra years.
- The choice of shades is worth considering for brunettes. In their case, coloring requires preliminary clarification. Here, depending on the initial color of the strands and hair structure, a variety of shades may appear, which at times are quite different from the expected ones.

Kinds
Most often, with red coloring, a technique is used in which individual thin strands are painted with shades from golden-orange to crimson. As a result, soft and natural shades are created on the head from one tone to another, they look very impressive in bright light. The coloring of individual curls creates interesting glare in the hairstyle, gives hair extra volume, and makes it more expressive and dynamic. In this performance, the main tone becomes deeper, and bright and vibrant accents make the hair more lively and light.
Ombre is often made on red hair, this coloring style gained popularity in the early 2000s, but still has not lost its popularity. Ombre is a gradient coloration from one shade to another, most often the roots color with darker tones, and the tips are light. In the case of red color, it can be a stretch from brown to honey or from cherry to caramel. More restrained options are possible, in which red colors are used only as transitional ones, for example, from chocolate on the top to light red at the tips.
This ombre looks especially stylish on curly strands, when you can make the transition smoother. If the curls are straight, then an even transition between shades is much more difficult to achieve.
Owners of red hair often dye their hair in the technique of bronding, in fact, this is the same highlighting, only the coloring of the strands begins not from the roots, but with a slight indentation. Such coloring has a great advantage in comparison with other techniques - as the growth grows, the strands look very aesthetically pleasing, and the border between the initial and painted colors is not visible, respectively, painting requires correction no more than once every quarter.
Other techniques are often used, for example:
- shatush, in which only the ends of the hair color;
- coloring of separate zones - bangs or strands framing the face;
- rare highlighting - in that case, thick locks of hair that are at a sufficient distance from each other are tinted.
What shades to choose?
For ginger coloring, a variety of shades are used.
- Copper - a universal tone, which includes a large gamut of shades from light to deep, so that every woman can choose the color that suits her face.
- Golden - This tone contains more yellow and honey than scarlet tones. This shade is suitable for women with fair skin and bright eyes.
- Caramel - this color is more likely to resemble light brown and beige shades, therefore it is considered the most natural of the whole color gamut, it is optimal for eyes and skin of any color, looks great on very young girls as well as on ladies of elegant age.
- Carrot - the most vivid color, which is suitable only for those women who are accustomed to stand out from the crowd and catch enthusiastic looks.Most harmoniously, it looks with light skin of a cold tone, due to which it creates a very spectacular contrast, but in combination with a swarthy skin, this color looks too defiant and cheap.
- Reddish - this group of halftones includes ruby, as well as cherry and burgundy shades, they emphasize dark skin and brown eyes. They add nobility to mature women, and help young women to stand out from the general mass of peers.
Coloring involves the use of several colors. The most successful is the combination of a red and white hue, while it is desirable to lighten the tips or individual strands to a milky color. Dark strands look very impressive together with red ones, in order to achieve the most stylish result, you need to use radically different shades of burgundy and orange, they will complement each other and create elegant overflows on your head.
However, any coloring on dark curls is associated with the need for their preliminary clarification, so there is always a risk of damage to the hair structure.
Coloring blondes allows you to make a head of hair in a variety of shades - any color is good for blonde hair and the resulting color, as a rule, exactly corresponds to what is expected. Owners of blond hair should avoid dyeing with bright fiery tones, it is better to give preference to a more moderate color, here the preference should be given to caramel, chocolate and milk overflow.
Often, owners of natural red hair resort to coloring. As a rule, such a hair is thick, but devoid of natural shine. Brown-haired women often note that their native color looks dull and lifeless, so they resort to coloring to restore shine and shine to the hair. In this case, part of the strands are discolored for subsequent tinting in light shades, and part, on the contrary, is colored dark. Thus, the effect of burnt locks is created on the hair, which can be emphasized by coloring the tips in golden colors. This hairstyle looks voluminous and well-groomed.
It should be noted that when using red tinting, it is not recommended to use black color as a dark tone, it makes the pile unkempt and untidy, and also in the most disadvantageous color it sets off the skin tone, so the owners of such a color get an unhealthy look, become visually older.
In this case, preference should be given to chocolate, cherry tones, as well as saturated shades of Marsala or Bordeaux.
Dyeing hair of different lengths
The coloring of red hair should be entrusted to an experienced master, since this technique of dyeing is quite complicated and it is almost impossible to correctly execute it at home. Most of the masters divide the curls into separate strands, and then with the help of a sponge or brush they apply the selected shades - in this case, depending on the painting technique and the woman's wishes, the strokes can be either ordered or chaotic.
Short
On short hair, dyeing is carried out quite simply - for this, strands with a thickness of not more than 5 mm are alternately selected and paints with different pigment are applied to them. Each colored curl is wrapped in foil and left for 25-30 minutes. After staining, the paint should be washed off with warm running water with shampoo.
Medium
Beautiful highlighting on the middle curls is done by first dividing the entire mop into several zones. Each of them is then divided into individual locks and painted over with the selected color. In this case, the entire procedure is carried out in two ways.
- Deepening the natural color of hair. Here, the color chosen for dyeing differs from the main one by no more than 2-3 tones and only part of the strands is painted.
- Full colorization - all hair is painted, and the native color is completely replaced by artificial.
Long
The technique of dyeing long curls is almost no different from the previous one, the only difference is that long curls allow you to create not only vertical, but also horizontal coloring - ombre and shuttlecock are allowed here, which allow you to create the effect of overgrown roots. He has been held for several seasons among the most popular staining techniques. Red color, even if the highest quality paint was used, tends to fade quickly and become "dirty." To avoid this, you must follow some recommendations.
- To wash your hair, you need to use only special shampoos for colored hair. They do not contain sulfates that wash off the pigment, so the color remains saturated much longer.
- From time to time, you can use hair tonics, they are applied for several minutes so that they refresh the shade and make the hair color more radiant.
- Limit any thermal effect on the hair - hot temperatures make the shades faded. Therefore, it is better to dry your hair with cold air, and it is better to completely abandon the use of irons and tricks. If this is not possible, be sure to use heat-protective mousses.
- It is not recommended to use oils in the care of red curls, as they quickly wash bright pigments from the hair.
