Red hair dyes: a color palette and recommendations for coloring

A change of image is a fairly common desire that periodically arises in every woman. The most favorite procedures for changing appearance are usually associated with hair - this is a haircut and dyeing. Sometimes a change in color can radically change your whole life for the better. Red hair dye is a favorite for courageous, self-sufficient, extravagant people. Curls of bright colors attract attention, add an image of sexuality and expressiveness. However, choosing a red tone is a very responsible matter, because you need to choose a paint that emphasizes your strengths and hides flaws.

Bright hair dye is one of the hits of fashion trends of recent years. The red palette is a favorite among them, it is original, but not as radical as, for example, blue or green. Staining in red can be either monochrome or complex, gradient. You can select only a few strands in this gamut.

Both in professional supermarkets and salons, as well as in the mass market, there is a very large selection of shades of this palette. The range of tones is quite wide, the price range also allows you to choose a product according to your capabilities and taste. This gamut includes all shades of wine and berry palette, burgundy, plum, pomegranate, copper, rose, raspberries, carrots, golden red oranges.

All these tones are quite bright, expressive, but they should be chosen with caution, since the red gamut has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

Pros:

• wide selection of shades;

• giving the image a bright personality;

• This color is very feminine and sexy.

Minuses:

• not universal, not suitable for every image;

• requires frequent correction - the growing roots look very ugly;

• not suitable for every color type;

• there are age restrictions;

• emphasizes skin imperfections.

The most important criterion for choosing a shade is the color of the skin and eyes. For example, if your original color of the strands and eyes is light, and the skin is pale, it is better to completely abandon such a palette. The brightest color that you can afford is light chestnut.

If you are blonde with dark skin and dark eyes, you can choose shades that are close to dark copper or bright chestnut. Light strands have an advantage - any paint lays evenly, the result will be achieved without lightening. For black and chestnut strands, it is recommended to consider plum, cherry, burgundy, red-red gamut.

In order to determine whether this color palette is suitable for you, stylists recommend using the Oswald circle. It will allow to remove possible unsuccessful options, which in combination with natural pigment or previous paint will give a greenish tone. Correcting this will be quite difficult.

Refuse red will have to those girls whose skin has a pink tint or problems with facial skin, rashes. Unfortunately, scarlet gamma defects and reddish skin will only be ugly flaunted. Mature ladies should pay attention to the shade of mahogany, which looks as status as possible and does not emphasize age-related skin changes too much. However, be careful: with a large amount of gray hair, this color can give the exact opposite effect.

Before choosing the right shade of red, you should study not only the palette of shades, but also your color type: cold or warm. The first is best to stop on tones of red ruby, red pomegranate, scarlet, deep pink, bright red, cherry. If your skin has one of the warm tones, pay attention to mahogany, red brown, honey, red amber, red chestnut, red chocolate, mahogany, red wine, fire.

By the color of the eyes, the tone of the strands is not selected, however, it is necessary to take into account the harmony of the combination. Ideally, this gamut emphasizes the eyes of green, blue.

If cardinal changes are not included in your plans, you can use red shades in complex stains: coloring, shuttle, ombre, balayazh and others. The advantage of this procedure is to give volume to the strands, but to the image of modernity and originality.
