Hair 101: How To Choose The Perfect Red Hair Colour

Stepping into the World of Red Hair? Here is Your Ultimate Guide to Choosing and Flaunting that Perfect Red Shade!

When you envision Red Hair what do you see? Fire engine Red? Dark Red? Purple Red? Strawberry Blonde?

We consider Red Hair Colour the statement piece of Colouring, a Hair Colour that is so striking you can’t help but stare in admiration. But what makes the perfect Red? Big reflects or subtle tones vs bright Colouring or a moody deep Shade vs extreme pigment or a Naturalised hue?

Each Red Hair Colour Shade comes with its own mood and even though they all fall under “Red” the Hair Colours are so diverse with such different marvellous Colour pigments that suit different tastes and skin tones. So when you want to find your Red Shade, this guide has everything you need to know about the different Red Tones and which Hair Colours will fulfil your wildest Colour dreams.

When you’re looking for a Darker, moody Red like your glass of wine

Dark Red Shades with deep Red pigments that take a leaf out of a wine catalogue with their full-bodied berried hues. These kinds of Colours get their unique Redness from their double pigment which also makes them bolder, Redder and glossier than you’d expect from a Dark Red Shade.
