Want To Be A Redhead? Here’s How
Apply a hydrating hair mask to washed, towel-dried hair to prep your hair for colour refinement.
Apply a hydrating hair mask to washed, towel-dried hair to prep your hair for colour refinement. A hydrating mask will help prevent your colour from turning brassy. After applying it, let the product sit for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water and shampooing. You can use this treatment once a week or as often as you need it—the more, the better!
Once the mask is on, take time to study your hair color. Your natural shade will help determine what options are best for you.
Now that you have your hair in the right condition, it’s time to choose a colour. If you’re dyeing your hair for the first time, I recommend using bleach and highlights. This gives a real natural look as opposed to dye alone.
If you are already at a redhead level of color, then consider getting a root touch-up done every six months to give yourself some new growth without having to use dyes or bleach again.
Do you remember that gorgeous redhead you saw the other day? How about the blonde that was wearing an amazing hat? Or the brunette with the cool bob?
If you’re thinking of going red and want to know how, the first thing you need to do is research. You can start by finding your hair color inspiration. Do you remember that gorgeous redhead you saw the other day? How about the blonde that was wearing an amazing hat? Or the brunette with the cool bob?
Once you have an idea of what kind of redhead look you’re looking for, find some pictures of it online or in magazines and save them on your phone or computer so they’re easy to reference whenever needed.
The trick to pulling off a red head look is to keep your skin looking radiant.
To get the most out of your red hair dye, you’ll want to keep your skin looking radiant. If you’ve recently dyed your hair a vibrant colour and it’s starting to fade, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to bring it back up to full colour with these tips:
- If possible, avoid washing your hair for at least three days after dyeing it. This will give the colour time to settle in so that when you do wash it later on, the water won’t run out all of the dye at once. Be sure to use shampoo specifically designed for coloured hair during this time period as well!
- Keep yourself moisturized! This helps prevent fading, especially if there was any bleeding due to improper application (more on this later) or drying because of hard water conditions like those found in apartments or dorm rooms across America.*
If you want to dye your hair, pick up a box of dye from the drugstore and check out a how-to video on YouTube.

You can also hire a hair colourist if you want professional results.
If you’re looking to go red, but are unsure of how to do it yourself or don’t have time to do so, you can also hire a hair colourist. They have the experience and expertise that can help you get the look of your dreams.
It’s important to remember that if you choose this route, it is still going to be a bit more expensive than doing it yourself at home. However, if you’re willing to invest in your new look and want professional results from start to finish—including having someone else deal with any issues that may arise during the process (for example: if they accidentally dye one section of hair pink instead of red)—then hiring a professional might be worth it for you!
Hair colourist can be expensive, but if you’re willing to invest in your new look, it could be worth it.
It’s important to know that if you want to go lighter, it’s not as simple as just applying a colorant. If you want red hair, you’ll need to bleach your hair first before applying the dye.
The cost of hiring a colourist can be expensive—but if you’re willing to invest in your new look, it could be worth it. To find out how much each service costs and how long they take on average, I asked some of my friends who are licensed hairdressers about their experiences with clients who wanted red or orange tones added onto their natural locks. Here’s what they had to say:
If you’re going for a natural look, try highlighting or lowlighting instead of all-over colour.
For a natural look, you can try highlighting or lowlighting instead of all-over colour. Highlighting will make your hair lighter and lowlighting will make it darker. If your hair is already naturally pretty light, an all-over red tone might not be the best choice for you. You could highlight small sections of it so that they are a little brighter than the rest of the strands; this will create a more subtle effect than an all-over colour would give you. If you have dark hair, using lowlights can also help to create dimension while still keeping things looking natural.
You can do this yourself or hire a professional to do it for you! If hiring someone else sounds like too much work (or money!), consider trying out one of those at home kits before attempting anything else so that if something goes wrong with your results there won’t be too many tears shed over wasted product and time spent trying different techniques rather than just going with what works best for each individual person who wants their very own Redhead story told through their unique shade(s).
Keep in mind that some shades won’t show up as well as others on certain types of hair.
Keep in mind that some shades won’t show up as well as others on certain types of hair. Blondes can go lighter and darker with ease, but it might not be quite so easy for brunettes. Dark-haired women will find that their natural color has more depth and shine than light-haired women do, so they won’t need to use as many products or treatments to get the same effect.
For instance, if you’re a blonde who wants red highlights in your hair, you’ll have nothing to worry about—they’ll show up easily! But if you’re a brunette, they may not be quite as noticeable unless you add some extra shine or color into the mix (either with a toner or an intense shampoo). To help them stand out more prominently against your base shade (and give them even bolder vibrancy), use highlighter along with whatever other styling product(s) work best for your specific needs!
If you’re blonde, try a light strawberry shade or golden brown.
If you’re blonde and want to be a redhead, try a light strawberry shade or golden brown. If your natural hair color is already quite dark (think: model dark or deep brunette) then consider adding auburn tones instead. If your hair is medium-dark brown with hints of red highlights, you can go for an even deeper brown but be careful not to overdo it because this will look too unnatural on most people.
There’s no hard and fast rule about how much darker or lighter you should go because everyone has different skin tone, eye color and hair type so the best way is just to experiment until you find something that works for you!
If you have dark hair, try a brownish-red shade or deep brown with hints of red highlights.
If you’re a brunette who wants to try out the redhead look, consider adding a little red to your hair. If you have dark hair, try a brownish-red shade or deep brown with hints of red highlights. This way, the red colour won’t be overpowering and will blend in naturally with your natural colour.
If this doesn’t work for you and you want full on red locks, there are still ways to achieve that fiery look without making it too overwhelming on your face. You can add lowlights (lowlights are when darker shades are put into the hair to create texture). Try getting some bright colours like orange or yellow instead of straight up fire-engine red!
