Bright copper hair colour is vivid and intense—like a shiny, new penny. It’s an exciting choice if you have fair, peach- coloured or golden-toned skin and green or hazel eyes. Ginger red hair colour is a spicy, light or medium reddish brown tone that is one of the most natural-looking reds in the spectrum. (In fact, in the UK, natural redheads like Prince Harry are called “gingers.”) Natural redheads have fair skin and green or brown eyes, and often have freckled complexions, so opt for this shade if you can tick those boxes on your skin tone and eye colour profile. Light auburn hair colour is a blend of light golden red and light brown. It’s been worn to perfection by actress Emma Stone! It’s a beautiful shade if you have a creamy, peach-toned or golden complexion with blue, green or warm brown eyes. Medium auburn hair colour is a combination of medium golden red and medium brown. Scandal’s Darby Stanchfield’s remarkable hue is a perfect example of this shade. It’s striking with her porcelain complexion and blue eyes. It’s also an ideal red shade for people with green or warm brown eyes. Golden copper is a warm and spicy hue—a blend of dark golden blonde and light, bright red. Actresses Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain wear this shade beautifully. Choose this shade if your complexion is porcelain, peach, golden or neutral, and if you have blue, green, hazel or warm brown eyes.
sallow and ill! As a general rule of thumb, select warm red hair colours like ginger, copper and auburn if you have very fair or very warm skin. Select cool red hair colours like red violet, ruby and red velvet if you have dark or cool skin. Red hair colour looks best when it’s vivid. To prevent red hair colour from fading, ask your hair stylist for shampoo and conditioner formulas that are specifically made for coloured hair. These formulas are free of the ingredients that tend to strip hair colour, and they keep hair shiny and keep red hair colour vibrant. For cool reds, Brass Off system can be used to neutralize brassy, orange tones. Red hair colour should be kept out of the sun. The sun will cause any hair colour to fade, and since it’s important to keep red hair colour bright and vivid, it’s a good idea to keep it covered with a hat or scarf when outdoors to avoid UV exposure. Avoid over-shampooing. Shampooing too frequently is another way that red hair colour can become faded. Try to skip a few days between shampoos if possible. If your roots become oily or dirty, try using a dry shampoo to keep your scalp fresh between shampoos. See your stylist regularly. Because red hair colour can fade quickly, it’s important to make regular appointments for retouches. Your stylist will touch up your roots, and also use a gentle, ammonia-free hair colour on the rest of your hair that will keep your red hair colour even and vibrant without damaging your hair. Select your makeup carefully. Play up the warmth of your red hair colour with rosy or peach cheek and lip colors. Green shadows and liners can be beautiful on eyes if you have red hair colour, as can various shades of brown!
