Red hair dye: a palette of shades

Many women dream of red hair - this is not surprising, because fiery curls have always been the subject of many stories about the passionate and unbridled temperament of their mistress. A woman with such hair is always in the spotlight, but dyeing has many subtleties that you need to know about in advance.

There is a legend that women with red hair are witches mysterious, seductive and at the same time extremely dangerous witches, which no man can resist. And nowadays, the fair sex dream of having a secret of seduction, so they decide to change their usual look in order to become more vivid and noticeable. However, the red color is fraught with many dangers, the wrong shade nullifies all efforts to change, emphasizing all the shortcomings of the appearance.

Ginger color can be full and partial. In the first case, the color of the hair changes completely, while the dyeing can be either monochrome when one shade is selected, or multi-color - in this case, coloring involves the use of 2-15 related shades of red. With partial coloring, individual strands are stained. Most often, the curls that frame the face or the ends of the hair are colored.

Red shades are suitable in the following cases:

• if the native hair color is not darker than dark blond, otherwise the paint will not be taken and even with additional bleaching will not give a clear shade;
• owners of brown or green eyes, especially in combination with pale skin; however, brown-eyed ladies can also have a fiery shade, but in this case they will have to choose a color so that it competes with the iris;
• ladies with freckles.

Red shades will not go in such cases as:

• if women are prone to redness of the face;
• persons with a vascular net and allergic rashes - red shades will only enhance their redness;
• ladies of mature age - unfortunately, such tones only attract unnecessary attention to the face and emphasize age even more.

The choice of the “right” ginger color is complicated by the fact that there are many different colors, and many of them do not visually differ from each other. However, the belief that all shades are the same is deeply mistaken. To notice the difference, you just need to take a pair of opposite shades - rich copper and golden with a light redhead. Dozens of such analogies can be given, and it is thanks to a similar variety of the palette that it seems that the redhead fits any woman’s face. Let us dwell in more detail on the most popular shades of fire color.

This is a classic version, which is considered a pure warm tone of red. This shade can be easily obtained on any hair no darker than light brown. If the native strands are black or dark chestnut, then here we will try preliminary clarification.

This color is obtained when the copper tone is combined with purple, it is a rather complex tone in perception, but it does not require any preliminary bleaching. The tone is suitable for a natural color from dark blond and darker.

It is obtained by mixing blue and gold. This tone is very delicate, usually well suited to blondes by nature, on the rest of the hair needs to be lightened to yellow.

This color is suitable for lovers to look creative, bold and bold. It does not belong to the natural color palette, so it will be quite difficult to remove it from curls, especially in the cold colors of the blonde.

Otherwise, this color is called golden chestnut. It looks quite natural on strands, especially if a woman has dark skin. For applying such a tint, preliminary bleaching is not required; it lays well even on the natural base of dark hair.

This is a very natural shade, which is most suitable for women of a cold color type. At the same time, the color is considered rather capricious and without problems is taken exclusively on pure blond curls. It is better for everyone else not to mess with such a color scheme, since it is almost impossible to get it on the head of the other tones.

This is a rather warm and feminine color, which has many interesting overflows. A saturated shade is best placed on light and medium blond strands, but brown-haired women need preliminary clarification of the strands with the help of strong oxidizing agents.

This is a very spectacular color, but not every manufacturer has it. However, an experienced colorist in a beauty salon will easily achieve the desired color on his hair, but making it at home is much more difficult. It should be borne in mind that tinting in red-pink requires mandatory clarification to the blond, otherwise pink notes will begin to get lost in the red color.

Such a color of curls, like a shade of stone, is a rather broad concept. It is characterized by yellowish-pearl overflows with light caramel notes.It is easiest to create such a color on light and light brown strands, it especially shades dark eyes.

Before heading to the nearest store for paint, be sure to think about whether you will face such staining. Otherwise, the result will only disappoint you, and getting rid of the red color is quite difficult. The only way to change the color is considered warping in dark shades. Stylists recommend taking into account several features when choosing a color.

• Native color of hair. Colorists have a clear opinion - the color fits well on any hair, except gray hair. However, the shades of red will be barbarians from orange to dark red. The darker the native shade, the darker the red tone you need to choose. For example, cherry or dark red shade will fall well on the hair of a dark blond color. But for lighter strands, the palette will be much wider - here you can choose between gold, amber, copper and dark colors. And blondes can even taste absolutely any shade of red that they like.
• Skin tone. A rich fire shade is suitable for owners of pink and peach skin. But if you have olive skin, then you should lean towards chestnut and dark colors.
• The color of the iris. No less important when choosing the optimal tone is the color of the eyes. Fiery shades are best combined with green and brown eyes, but for owners of light blue or gray eyes, it makes sense to opt for copper and gold solutions.

Before staining, it is imperative to carry out an allergy test.Unfortunately, most women neglect this stage, receiving the most undesirable reactions from a mild rash and up to Quincke's edema. If the allergy test gave a negative result, then you can proceed to tinting, which is performed as follows:

1. first, a cape or an old towel is put on the shoulders, and the skin near the hairline is smeared with oily cream or petroleum jelly;
2. in a glass or porcelain bowl, paint is diluted in accordance with the instructions;
3. the paint is applied to dry strands, it is desirable that the hair is dirty - you should wash your hair no later than 2-3 days before the procedure;
4. coloring begins with the nape in the direction of the forehead;
5. there is no need to put on a warming cap - most modern preparations do not require warming, therefore it is used only if the hair is long - then I remove them for convenience;
6. hair dye can withstand from 3 to 60 minutes; after the required time, the hair is washed until the flowing water becomes transparent;
7. at the final stage, a moisturizing balm or conditioner should be applied, preferably the one that comes with the dye.

To make the right choice and achieve the perfect shade, women should listen to the reviews of those ladies who have tried several different ways of coloring. If a girl intends to achieve a shine of hair, then she should pay special attention to the colors of the chestnut range of Schwarzkopf products. Quite intense shades of fiery color are offered by the Palette line of coloring compounds. In addition, it is these paints that are best distributed among the strands. However, the choice of these shades has some nuances. For example, a bright copper shade is often darker than stated on the package, and cinnamon on brown hair in most cases gives brighter tones.

Not always the result of tinting in red color coincides with the promised one when using Syoss brand products. Especially often this happens when buying shades No. 6, 7 and 8 - the color is always more artificial than the model. Shades of the L »Oréal brand make it possible to achieve a faint red, but light ones are often a couple of tones darker than indicated on the package.

Many women use henna to get a chocolate-red color. This is a soft dye of plant origin, which gives a persistent and rich color that shimmers with light. Such paints do not injure hair, moreover, they have a light healing effect, prevent fragility, dryness and cross-section of the tips. However, this coloring has its drawbacks - the color quickly becomes dull and faded. Besides, It is almost impossible to recolor hair after henna - no other persistent paint will simply take on the hair.
