Why people are hesitant to dye their hair red

Many people are hesitant to dye their hair red because they fear that it will be too much work. They’re worried about making a mistake, not being sure if red hair will look good on them, and not knowing what shade of red they should choose.

But there’s no need to worry! This blog is here to help you through the process so that you can see all the benefits of dyeing your hair red—and feel confident in doing so!

What shade to choose

Choosing the right shade of red is important. If it’s too light, you’ll look washed out and pale; if it’s too dark, you’ll look older than you are and your face will appear more round or wide. You want to choose a color that complements your skin tone and best suits your features.

The best style for going red depends on how long your hair is—if it’s short, you can go with a bolder hue like strawberry blonde or cherry pink (just make sure they’re not too bright). If your hair is medium length, try a deep burgundy hue like raspberry or aubergine (but nothing too dark). Longer locks lend themselves well to cherry reds and deep ambers—and personally speaking? I think these shades look especially gorgeous when worn in wavy styles like bobs!

What to do if you want to go back to your natural color

A lot of people have a dream to go back to their natural color. It’s not easy, but it can be done!

The first step is talking with your hair stylist about what products will work for your hair and how long it will take for you to get back to your natural color.

If you don’t want a professional in the mix, try this at-home kit from L’Oréal Paris. The kit includes everything you need: gloves, shampoo/conditioner, pre-color treatment cleanser, developer cream (which gives shine), toner (which adds depth) and conditioner/shampoo specifically made for after dyeing processes like this one!

However you choose to do it—whether with a professional or on your own—you may need more than one session until all the red is gone. Be patient and stay positive during these times because they can be stressful and difficult but also rewarding because once all that red is gone…you’ll see just how pretty brunette hair really looks!

How to know if you can pull off red hair

If you’ve been considering going red, but you’re worried about looking washed out in the process, here are some tips to help you find a hair color that’s perfect for your skin tone.

• Fair Skin with Freckles: Redheads with fair skin and freckles look best when they stick with their natural hair color (or at least something within one or two shades of it). Redheads with very pale complexions usually have neutral or cool undertones in their skin, so bright-red shades can wash them out. Auburns and strawberry blondes work much better on such skin types.
• Darker Skin: Those with darker complexions have more options when it comes to choosing an ideal shade of red. Both olive and warm complected people look great in copper tones; these hues can either be full blown copper or they can lean toward orangey/brassy hues as well. Darker complected gingers also tend to look beautiful in deep oranges and coppers because these colors bring out their natural warmth nicely. However if your face falls somewhere between medium to dark browns then stay away from burgundy hues—they’ll just make you look muddy!

What it takes to keep red hair looking vibrant

If you want your red hair to shine, you’ll need to take a few extra steps. I recommend using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, which will help maintain the vibrancy of your color; these products have less harsh chemicals in them than standard shampoos. For added protection against fading, use a purple shampoo every few washes—you can find them at any drugstore or beauty supply store. A deep conditioning treatment once a week also helps keep your locks soft and shiny, especially if they’re feeling dry from all that blonde sun exposure!

• Sulfate-free shampoo
• Purple shampoo (optional)
• Deep conditioning treatment (once per week is best)

Red hair is a great choice for so many people, and there’s a shade that’s right for everyone!

Red hair is a classic color and one that works for so many people. It’s great for any skin tone, it’s fun to experiment with, it can be low maintenance and the perfect choice if you want to add a little spice to your life. Red is also the color of love, power and passion—all things that are important in life!

So whether you’re looking for something low-maintenance or something more high-impact (like orange), red hair dye can be customized to suit your needs.
