If you want bold experiments, you can try staining in a carrot or orange shade.
- Green-eyed ladies literally created by nature itself for coloring hair in red tones. If nature stinted on pigment for hair, you can easily fix the situation yourself. When choosing a color scheme, one should focus on the paintings of Titian - a bright and clean tone of hair on the canvases of this painter was even adopted by many manufacturers of chemical dyes for home use.
- Brown eyes - from brown to almost black, go well with the canonical red color without copper nuances. Saturated rust or light honey is also harmoniously combined with this type of appearance. Brown-eyed women should be careful only with dark and red shades of hair that can add age to them.

To bright strands served as decoration, and not spoil the impression of the image, it is worth observing a number of rules. All shades of red and red color will definitely not suit women with the following nuances in appearance.
- Women with short “chemistry” on their hair. In combination with any red shades, the hairstyle will take on the form of a clown wig. Of course, in this case it is not necessary to talk about the external attractiveness of the image.
- Those who have a large volume of gray hair. Age-related bleaching of the hair leads to the fact that the results of dyeing are unpredictable. Red and red tones may not work well or give an unnatural tone.It will be better if the coloring with a large volume of gray hair is carried out by a professional colorist, able to choose the optimal combination of dyes and pigments.
- Ladies aged 55-60. Significant age-related skin changes, the appearance of specific pigmentation, ruthless facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds in combination with a bright, rich hair color appear most sharply. If the goal is not to emphasize these appearance flaws, it is better to refrain from abrupt changes in the image.
- Women whose hair is badly damaged are characterized by increased dryness, brittleness, and porous structure. Red color is one of the most quickly washed out. In order for the staining result to persist for a long time, you must first take care of the health of the hair. Otherwise, after a couple of washing procedures, the shade will fade, the locks will lose their luster and brightness.
- Freckled skin owners. This "contraindication" is very arbitrary. If a woman struggles with orange spots on her skin, she is unlikely to like the idea of enhancing the brightness of pigmentation. If there are a lot of freckles, in combination with red hair, they will merge into one continuous mask, making the image faceless.
