I’m a redhead, and it’s not just my hair

If you’re a natural redhead, this blog is for you.

I’m a natural redhead. I’ve been dyeing my hair red for over 18 years and have tried every shade of red, from strawberry blonde to auburn. I’ve also been to some salons that do it well and some that do it terribly.

So if you’re wondering whether or not to dye your hair red or how dark to go with it—or if the color is even right for your skin tone—this blog has got all the answers!

I’ve been dying my hair red for over 18 years.

I’ve been dying my hair red for over 18 years. Like so many women, I started out blonde and wanted to change it up. At first, I used a box dye from the grocery store and did it myself at home. Now I have two different tones of red — one lighter than the other — that I get done by professionals in salons.

I like red because it’s fun and vibrant, but there are also some practical reasons why many women choose this particular shade: It suits all skin tones, can go with any outfit or makeup look (you can wear anything!), and makes you look younger (it’s true!). If you’re thinking about going red yourself but aren’t sure where to start or what kind of tone would suit your face best, here’s my advice:

The journey from blonde to red is a long one.

From my experience, the journey from blonde to red is a long one. I had to go through two rounds of bleaching and dyeing before I got the color I wanted.

After bleaching your hair, you have to wait a few days before coloring it again. If your hair isn’t completely white after bleaching it—and if yours is anything like mine was, it won’t be—then you need to wash out all the leftover bleach with shampoo before applying any dye.

Then comes the fun part: actually applying your chosen color! In general, most reds aren’t exact matches for natural shades of hair (unless yours happens to be an unusually dark shade of brown). This can lead to some disappointment when trying out different shades for yourself: You may think that there’s no way that orangey tone could make you look good in real life… but then try it on anyway! It might surprise you! However much effort goes into achieving perfect results from this process doesn’t matter if those results end up being less than ideal for your personal tastes.

Dyeing my hair was a way of “becoming” myself.

When I started dying my hair red, it was a way of “becoming” myself. I felt more confident, and the color was a great way to express myself. Growing up, I was always told that I had beautiful skin and eyes, but my hair color didn’t quite match the rest of me. Red hair looks good on some people and not so good on others (you can see how much we differ in our natural tones), but I knew that this would be the best way for me to get closer to who I really am inside: someone with an outgoing personality who loves all things girly-girly!

I’m a natural redhead, but it’s not what you’d expect.

I’m a natural redhead, but it’s not what you’d expect. I have dark red hair, but it’s not the same as strawberry blonde or cherry blonde. It’s more of an auburn shade that falls somewhere between those two hues. If you’re looking for the best red hair dye and don’t know where to start, this guide is for you!

It took me a while to figure out the color that looked best on me.

Let’s talk about red hair dye. As you might know, there are many different shades of red. Some are bright and vibrant, while others are muted and dusty. Because everyone is different, the color that looks best on you will depend on a variety of factors including your skin tone and hair color.

I’ve been dyeing my hair for years now (and I mean YEARS), and I can honestly say it took me a long time to figure out what shade looked best on me. For one thing, finding the right shade isn’t easy because most stores don’t carry many selections in this category and when they do sell it they often only have one or two options at most—which means if you want something unique then your only option is ordering online which can be pricey if buying from overseas sites like *amazon*.

Plus I’ve found that when looking at swatches online sometimes they look very different than what actually appears once applied!

It used to be that you could tell when my dye job was starting to fade.

The first sign that your dye job is fading is when the hair becomes dry and brittle. It’s not just the color that fades, but also the life. The roots start to show, and even if you wash your hair with a good shampoo, it still looks dull and lifeless.

The second sign of this is the orange tinge that develops at the root line. I have no idea why this happens, but it does for me every time! I don’t know if it’s because my natural color has been showing through more lately or what? Either way, if you notice this happening to you too then chances are your color hasn’t held up as well as it should have!

Bleach is really destructive to your hair.

Bleach is really destructive to your hair. It’s important that you take care of it and make sure that you use a good quality dye. Cheap dyes are pretty nasty, especially if they’re going to be on your head for a long time.

I recommend using a dye that’s gentle on the hair and doesn’t cause damage like Redken Color Extend Magnetics in Fire Red or Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Hair Vitality Nourishing Oil Reconstructor with Keratin and Jojoba Oil. If you want your red look to last longer but don’t want to spend a lot of money, try mixing some conditioner with the dye before applying it to your hair!

Getting your hair dyed at a salon can be hit or miss.

In my experience, it can be hit or miss whether a stylist will give you exactly what you want. My advice is not to be afraid to speak up for yourself if the stylist isn’t working out for you. If they’re not listening, ask them to clarify which shade of red they are going for and whether or not they have achieved that yet. You may be surprised at how much of an impact this has on the end result!

I’ve been to some salons that do it well and some that do it terribly.

I’ve been to some salons that do it well and some that do it terribly. In fact, I used to go to a salon that dyed my hair for years, but then I realized how bad the dye was making my hair feel.

There are definitely a few things you should look out for when choosing a salon:

• Do they have experience with red hair?
• Do they use quality products?
• Are they friendly and knowledgable?

My favorite brand of dye is L’Oreal Paris Feria in Copper Penny Copper Blonde 73. (L’Oreal Paris Feria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Permanent Hair Color, 47).

Dying your own hair red can be tricky business but one you get the hang of it, you’ll have beautiful red locks!

Dying your own hair red can be tricky business but one you get the hang of it, you’ll have beautiful red locks! The first step is to do a strand test before applying the dye all over. Even if you’ve had this color before, doing a strand test lets you know exactly how it will react to the dye and if there are any allergies or sensitivities that could cause problems later on. Remember that red tones can vary between brands so make sure to buy from trusted companies like Clairol Nice ‘n Easy or Garnier Fructis Color Crème.

If you are allergic or sensitive to hair dye then DO NOT use this type of product on your head! You want to be able to enjoy all these benefits for years to come so don’t risk it by using something that might not work well with your body chemistry – trust me on this one (I learned my lesson!).

To avoid staining anything other than what’s supposed too when applying coloring products always wear gloves! When applying any kind of makeup/cosmetics/etc., always remember: “don’t touch my face.”
