Caring for colored hair
Red-colored hair requires special care, as it is very easy to remove such pigment - it quickly dims and is washed off. It is very important to use different shampoos and balms that retain color. It is also not necessary to ignore the funds that give the strands extra shine.

Who is red hair
Most of the fair sex dream to add a little sun to their lives, becoming a beautiful woman with bright hair. Some decide to completely dye their hair red, while others add a little color by coloring or highlighting the hair. But you need to take into account the fact that shades of red are not for everyone.
Red hair color looks original on the curls of any length.
If you want to drastically change the image, try on the red color, do it with the hands of an experienced master. It is important to remember that bright shades like on the cover of fashion magazines are far from being obtained by everyone and not immediately. This is especially true of owners of natural dark hair. You may have to lighten the strands before dyeing or use a special dye, which is designed for such hair.
Girls with red hair look spectacular and stylish.
Choosing a tone, it is necessary to take into account the color of the eyes and skin tone. So, bright and rich colors will suit girls with four-green and dark skin. Also similar shades will be a good option for brown-eyed beauties.
In general, you need to choose the hair color according to the type of appearance. Blondes and fair-haired owners of fair skin should choose a golden chestnut shade. But from the copper-red it is better to give up. If the skin is dark, feel free to choose the color of mahogany. Dark red color will look good on brown-haired women and brunettes with peach skin.
Having correctly picked up a shade of red color, you can create a harmonious and fashionable image.
Pay attention that paints of this color discolour faster than other shades. The reason lies in the fact that the red molecules are large, and it is difficult for the hair to hold them for a long time. And one of the most common mistakes that many women make is that they start worrying too late that their hair color is not the same. Notice this, as a rule, only 2-3 weeks after dyeing.
General classification of color types
The right choice of hair color is based on the female color type. Some stylists who work with hair do not bother much and distinguish only two types of women: “cold” and “warm”. In their classification, they are repelled by the color and type of skin, the iris of the eyes, and the natural shade of the hair given by nature.
Warm appearance includes golden or peachy podton skin, eyes of amber, green or tea color. In usually brown shades of hair, copper strands flash. As bright media representatives of a warm color type let us name Angelina Jolie and Penelope Cruz. “Warm” girls and women are recommended any warm shades that enliven the natural hair color and perfectly harmonize with it - golden, red, nutty gamma.
Categorically not recommended in a warm color type brings cold tones, which include numerous ashen and platinum, as well as light blond - unusual for fairly dark skin, they will highlight each wrinkle and visually add to its owner a dozen or so years.
Warm tsvetotip - warm golden-copper-red color gamut and no ash and classic blond
For cool beauties, blue and gray-green eyes are characteristic, as well as light brown eyes in combination with light or pale skin with a barely noticeable blush. Natural hair color varies from ashy varying degrees of saturation to the color of the raven wing. Effectively, original and stylish on such women will look fashionable coloring brown, platinum or black, and for having dark and black hair color suitable noble shade of red wine and mahogany. But warm and bright red, golden and honey shades will create a color imbalance, worsen and make unhealthy green complexion, unprofitable shading it with its sunshine.
Cold color type - choose paint among ashen and black shades, all kinds of blond and natural blonde, bypassing the golden-red and nut tones
Winter spring Summer Autumn
More scrupulous stylists and masters of hairdressing art approach the matter more globally and distinguish not two very generalized color types, but four - two in each of the indicated: Spring and Autumn are warm, Winter is cold, and Summer, oddly enough. The principles remain the same, but the colors can be chosen more carefully:
Summer is the most common cold color type among Russians: pale or slightly olive almost no tan skin, gray-blue, gray-green, green-blue, and sometimes hazel-colored eyes, "native hair" - light-brown (always with ashy tint ) or cold chestnut. Optimal tones for hair coloring - from a cool blond with a blond subtone to a nut-chocolate.
Winter - pale, even bluish skin, necessarily dark hair - from dark chestnut to bluish-black, eyes of rich bright color - gray, blue, brown. Optimal dark tones for hair coloring: from chocolate and cold chestnut to ultra black.
Spring is a well tanning shade of ivory or bronze light skin and light, wheat-colored hair, eyes can be different - blue, green, nut-colored. Optimal tones for hair coloring: warm wheat shades and cappuccino, caramel, nut, copper and amber tones.
Autumn - native hair will certainly be cast in gold or copper, the skin from easily burning almost transparent to dark skin with an excellent even tan, eyes of any color, but always with glowing golden sparks. Optimal colors for hair coloring: from golden-copper and caramel to chestnut and hot chocolate.
Determining your own color type and targeting it in choosing a hair dye is the surest way not to be in the wrong when changing an image: the palette of tones recommended for each color type is wide, and therefore every girl or woman will find one hundred percent in her own color.
Skin condition
Few of those who want to change the natural hair color think about the fact that the result obtained after the seemingly so careful selection turns out to be far from ideal, because the skin of the face has played its role. Unhealthy skin - acne rashes, allergic rashes, skin irritations, liver and pigment spots, peeling, dark circles under the eyes - requires not only close attention and care, but also the right choice of hair color, otherwise you risk to aggravate the situation and make all these facial "Charms" clearer and more visible.
Poorly chosen hair color will make an unnecessary emphasis on problem skin
Radical colors - very dark tones (dark chestnut, black, blue-black), very light tones (warm and cold blond, ashy, etc.), rich red or copper - will only highlight all the flaws in the skin. When not quite attractive skin is not recommended to experiment with hair dyes, more than a couple of tones different from the natural. Full dyeing of the head is optional, but it will be somewhat more organic to perform color coloring with suitable tones, and for beautiful fair-haired heads - the effect of burnt hair. Then the main tone of the hair will remain its own, native, and the skin of the face with imperfections will not delay attention.
If the skin is not good enough, the selection of strands near the face is not recommended - in bangs or on the temporal areas. Bright contrasts emphasize the face and eyes and attract looks to the problem skin.
How to choose a new hair color?
If the determination to change the image has become stronger, you have decided on the color type, it is time to ask yourself the question: what do I want? To bring in subtle tones, in harmony with the “native” color, a subtle revival into the usual hairstyle, perform contrast highlighting-coloring or radically transform from a brunette to a blonde or vice versa?
If you prefer hair dyeing at home, then, narrowing the circle of searching for the desired tone to your own color type, in the beauty store in the department of hair dyeing and hair care products, refer to the palette of the selected manufacturer. The palette is a line of tones, for clarity, made in the form of a "map of colors" with samples of colored strands and usually two-digit number for each. The first digit in this number indicates the depth of color, the second - its shade. In natural light conditions, determine whether the palette is consistent with your own “native” tone, and then (depending on whether you want to become darker or lighter), choose a tone for coloring that is different from yours within two points. And now in this depth and the proposed shades choose the one that is closer to the soul.
When choosing professional colors and the desire for natural results, use a palette of colors, which is developed by branded manufacturers
Turning from a brunette into a blonde in one fell swoop will not work even with the help of a professional stylist: such an execution cannot be done even with healthy and strong hair - global lightening is performed only gradually. But from light to dark - please: dark pigment will happily block the light one at a time.
The correct choice of tone for coloring will refresh the face and make it rested and young, and the eyes expressive and deep, the unfortunate color will highlight the flaws and set off the skin of the face with an unhealthy color.
Color features
Red hair color opens up immense opportunities for girls and women to change their image. Its color palette has about 100 names of shades: from tender, tender pink to the burning tone of burnt sienna, tranquil terracotta to mysterious burgundy.
It is also worth noting that the burning image does not tolerate doubt, indecision. It harmoniously looks only on courageous and self-confident personalities who are not afraid of experiments and sharp turns of fate.
For those who are in awe of fashion, stylists recommend abandoning full hair coloring, limiting themselves with dyeing using a balayazh technique, ombr or selectively selecting strands. Bright flames, smooth or abrupt transitions from burning colors to the main hair color look interesting and fashionable this season. Plus, these options will damage the hair less and focus on the merits of appearance, regular facial features.
The advantages of dyeing hair in red include:
- looks fashionable and relevant,

Recall the weaknesses:
- the color is washed out quickly, so it needs to be updated more often,

How to get at home

- the original condition of the hair and the original color,
- how long do you want to be in a new way
- own preferences and attitudes to chemical exposure.
Paint coloring
Durable paints provide the most lasting results. The selected shade will last 1–2 months, depending on the care of the curls and the persistence of the composition. The red color is quickly washed away and loses brightness, despite the assurances of manufacturers, so demanding women of fashion renew the color already 3 weeks after dyeing.
Another important point! To dye dark hair in a bright tone will require prior discoloration, and blond hair is recommended to first dye in red.
Among the colors with ammonia and without modern women of fashion emit:
Hair dyeing in red at home is performed in the following sequence:
- A few days before the intended transformation, wash your hair with shampoo.
- Get paint and other tools (non-metallic bowl, brush, comb).
- Divide the hair into 4 zones with longitudinal and transverse partings.
- Prepare the paint: mix the oxidizer and the dye in the proportion recommended by the manufacturer. Stylists are advised to use 3% oxidizer when dyeing hair without gaps, and if there is gray hair, the percentage of oxidizer is taken higher (6%).
- Paint each area evenly. For painting the entire head of hair, retreat from the roots by about 3 cm. To complete the red ombre, work out only the ends.
- When all the curls are stained, proceed to the coloring of the root part. This procedure of applying paint eliminates a bright tone at the roots and dimmer at the ends, the color will be uniform along the entire length.

- Remove paint residue with running water.
- Use a balm for active hair restoration after dyeing.

Tint preparations in the form of shampoos, balms can not provide such a long stay of bright shades on the hair. They are often used to select the appropriate tone, as an experimental staining. Shading means do less harm to hair, but with each shampooing the color rapidly loses its intensity and brightness. The result achieved will remain on the hair up to 4 weeks maximum.

- Do the styling.
Mousses, foams and varnishes with a red tinge also belong to short-term tint. Hold the selected tone on the hair until the next shampooing. Use them to create a bright image in front of a corporate party, a party or an important event.
The most popular and sought-after shampoos (balms) are Tonika products from Rocolor. The “Tonics” palette is rich in bright and colorful shades. In it you will find trendy shades of this season: “ripe cherry”, “burgundy”, “red amber” and “mahogany”.
Folk remedies
Natural formulations can give a reddish hue to the curls, but don’t rely on fiery red or cherry tones. Such products are absolutely safe, plus they have a healing, regenerating and strengthening effect. Beet juice, red wine, hibiscus tea, ground cinnamon in combination with henna will help to transform the image.
You can get rich red using henna and hibiscus. For its preparation will require:
- 2 tbsp. l karkade leaves

Heat beetroot juice in a water bath and mix it with henna to a slurry. Leave it warm for a few hours. Spread the mixture on the hair, rinse after 40 minutes.
Note! To achieve the desired shade in one procedure will not succeed. Count on 3–6 stains.
1. Skin color and hair color must match
Remember that nature has defined: each skin type has its own hair color, due to melanin pigment. Skin color and hair color should match. Example: blond hair color corresponds to blond hair color, if the skin has a copper tint, then hair color is brown, olive color, skin color hair color - brunet. The red color with the whole palette of shades goes to women with white and pink skin.
Therefore, to look natural, it is desirable not to violate this rule. The ideal dye for your hair will be 1-2 tone colors lighter or darker than natural strands.
2. Hair, skin and eye color should be carefully selected.
Determine the color scheme of your appearance. Who are you - Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn in accordance with the tone of the skin, its natural color of hair, eyes. Because the spectrum of each color type consists of certain colors, hair tones.For example, you have defined your hair color - brown hair of the fifth degree, but you still need to know which tone suits you - warm or cold. After all, it is necessary to combine hair, eyes and skin according to the rule “cold to cold, warm to warm”. he hair, skin and eye color must be carefully chosen.
People with gray, blue eyes and white skin are suitable for cold tones: ashy brown, ashy and platinum blond. People with brown, green and hazel eyes and skin of warm tone will suit warm colors of hair: honey-chestnut, copper and golden shades. Burning hazel - eyes brighter than red will not do anything. They are good to choose a dark chestnut or black.
Those who constantly blush on the cheeks, warm colors do not fit, they give the face an additional blush. Therefore, it is better to dye hair with cool tones: sandy, champagne tone, ashy blond or cool brown color. Those who are allergic to the face, you can not dye your hair in red shades: pomegranate, mahogany.
3. Choose your skin color.
If the condition of your skin is not very attractive: acne, rash, liver spots, circles under the eyes, then very light and very dark hair is not desirable for you. Such radical colors can emphasize everything that you don’t always want others to notice. Foundation, powder and other cosmetics can hide it, but you will need to always carry them with you. Even in the summer in unbearable heat. Is it worth it or not, you decide.
4. Do not break wood
If you decided to radically change your appearance - you were a brunette, and you decided to become a blonde, then change your hair color gradually, no more than 2 tones at a time. Otherwise it will be very difficult to return to the same hair, because hydrogen peroxide can permanently change the structure of the hair and then you cannot do without a specialist. Yes, and loved ones may not properly respond to your reincarnation, causing you and yourself a psychological trauma.
Help colorist in the selection of new hair color
So that later it would not be painfully painful, when, after dyeing the hair, you realize that the new color does not suit you at all, it is better to contact the master! This is especially important if you decide to radically change your own style - for example, to become a blonde from a brunette.
The colorist, based on the wishes of the client, the color of her eyes and skin, will advise on the best shades that are suitable in a particular case. Expensive, but then any errors in the selection of colors are minimized.
Eye color matters
Eye color - not the main criterion, which should be guided when choosing a hair color. But to look harmonious, it does not hurt to take this into account.
Here the same rule “works” as with make-up artists when they apply make-up - warm tones are in harmony with warm, and cold with cold. Ashy, wheat shades of strands are suitable for blue-eyed girls. If blue eyes are too light, it is definitely worth giving up bright and dark colors - the look will be “lost”. But gray eyes are able to "adapt" to almost any color of curls - experiment with different hair dyes. Brown-eyed should look at the chocolate, chestnut and brown scales. Copper, bright red and chestnut shades as best as possible tint green eyes.
To more accurately find a new shade of hair, focusing only on the eye color is not enough. More accurate information gives your color type.
Partial staining techniques
Partial staining continues to hold the leading position in the issue of updating the image. Ombre, balayazh, highlighting look interesting, stylish, plus injure your hair less. Let's talk about each technique in detail:
- Ombre - a way to highlight the tips in a different color, in our case these are all shades of red. Looks luxurious on the head of hair of any length. The roots are not involved during the dyeing, so this option is also suitable for owners of sensitive scalp. The transition from a natural color to the chosen one can be smooth, graduated, clear - it depends on your own preferences and appearance features. In addition, an experienced master will offer a more complex ombre, with the use of several colors, harmoniously combined with each other.
- Flames or balayazh - unlike ombre, changing colors is performed vertically. Please note that bright red hues are full. The predominance of red can make the image inharmonious and highlight the lack of appearance.
- Highlighting - assumes coloring by locks on all head of hair. Depending on the structure and features of the face master may offer wide or narrow strands. Especially expressively bright curls look on dark hair.
- Zonal staining - Ideal will help to emphasize the dignity of appearance, to focus on the correct features and to hide from weak eyes the possible shortcomings. Which strands are better to color, the choice of their location and size, stylists are advised to entrust only to the specialists of color, otherwise the chance of inharmonious image is quite high.
Procedure cost
Updating and changing the image is a crucial moment for every woman of fashion. Unsuccessfully placed color accents, irregular tint and mistakes in coloring make the look sloppy and disharmonious, and also threaten with burned curls and shortening of the length. That is why Stylists recommend trusting only professionals! The cost of hair dyeing in the salon is more expensive than home experiments, but there is almost no guarantee of the perfect combination of colors, expressiveness and harmony of the final result.
The cost of one-color dyeing of the hair varies in the range of 1-3 thousand rubles. If you conceived more complex options with smooth transitions from one tone to another, then the cost will accordingly be higher and can reach 5 thousand rubles.
The cost of fashionable coloring in the beauty salon is affected by:
- the complexity of the chosen staining,
- length and thickness of hair (paint costs),
- rating and class performer,
- region, the location of the cabin.
As for the cost of transforming the appearance at home, here the arithmetic is simple: count the waste on paint, improvised materials (foil, brush, bowl, etc.).
Color care
Red hair color does not have high resistance, and therefore requires special care from the beauty. What are its features?
- Wash your hair as needed (when it becomes dirty), daily washing will quickly wash away the brightness and saturation of the tone. Do not forget to use cosmetic products marked “for colored curls”, it is better to replace regular shampoos with no sulfate ones.
- The first few days after dyeing do not wash your hair, do not go to the pool, to the beach or to the solarium. Give the dye a fix.
- Take care of the restoration of health lost during the painting of hair. Medical masks, mesotherapy of the scalp, massage of the head will accelerate recovery.
- For a while, set aside frequent hot styling, perm and blow-dry.
- Coloring balms and shampoos, natural products will help to maintain the beauty of the color. Use them as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Fill your diet with a vitamin-healthy meal. It would be useful twice a year to take vitamin and mineral complexes, dietary supplements.

5. Dye your gray hair correctly.
Dye your gray hair correctly. To dye gray hair it is best to use light-colored dyes. The older we are, the lighter the hair color should be. Blond hair is young and refreshing, and dark hair makes us strict and senior. If you have a little gray hair, then buy an unstable, sparing paint a tone lighter than the natural color or the same tone. When the hair starts to grow, it will not be so noticeable.
Who has natural blonde hair - suitable wheat, natural blonde, ashy shades. These colors give a person a fresh, youthful, healthy look. If you have natural brown hair, you need to dye it in a slightly auburn color or light brown. Those who have a lot of gray hair or almost gray hair - not to do without durable paint.
7. Buying paint - read instructions
Buy paint not for the brightness, color of the package, the presentability of the model, but for the quality of paint. If you buy an unknown paint, you should familiarize yourself with the instructions and the composition of the paint. Pay attention to whether the paint has a shade - cold or warm. Look at the palettes where the sample strands with the names of the paint tones are presented.
8. Determine the time for your hair color.
Before you buy paint, think for how long you need this color. If for a short time, for the experiment, then you will need unstable paint, which will wash off in five to six weeks. This paint does not penetrate into the middle of the hair, but paints only its surface. It gives the hair a beautiful shine, but gray hair colors poorly. Ideally, the color of your hair and the color of the dye should match.
If you need to dye your hair for a long time, then buy a durable paint, well known to you (to avoid surprises). It penetrates into the middle of the hair, due to hydrogen peroxide or ammonia, which opens the hair scales (cuticle) of the hair and destroys the natural pigment. And the paint pigment takes its place. The cuticles are closed, but the structure of the hair is broken. Therefore, all resistant dyes contain, in addition to the oxidizing agent, various balms that nourish and heal burnt hair.
9. Prepare hair for coloring in advance
Before dyeing, begin to intensively care for your hair with masks, creams, air conditioners. Hair need to saturate with moisture and heal. So do the models that advertise dyes, so that their hair was perfectly smooth and well reflected color. Porous dry, the hair absorbs the paint quickly, but the result - stained
"Warm" or "cold" skin?
It will be easier to determine the new shade of curls, if you define your skin tone. What type of cover can you take - warm or cold? There is an easy way to find out. Look at your wrist.If appearing veins have a bluish tint, the skin tone is cold. In girls with a "warm" cover, the veins on the wrist will be greenish or brownish.
Owners of "warm" skin often do not fit too dark shades of curls. Ideally, you should strive to ensure that the hair was slightly lighter than the cover, even if only slightly. Otherwise, the complexion will visually have a painful appearance. “Cold” cover, as a rule, is “not friendly” with bright shades of hair — red, red, bluish-black, and chestnut.
Note that the skin tone (as well as the color of the eyes) is not the variable according to which it is worth making the final decision on choosing a new color of curls. For example, in winter, the cover in any case becomes more pale, and a summer tan will turn the “cold” skin into a “warm” one. If the cover greatly changes its tone with the change of seasons, it is worth regularly changing the shade of hair. Not dramatically! Just slightly changing the depth and saturation of the original hue.
New hair dye in accordance with the color type of appearance
"New" hair will fit perfectly into your image, if you define your color type. This is a common combination of several signs - the shade of the covering, the color of the eyes and the natural hair color. In total, there are 4 color types of appearance:
The spring girl is the owner of a pale (literally translucent) cover with a touch of ivory or a slightly noticeable bronze tint. As a rule, she has naturally blond hair and her eyes are blue, light brown or green.
Since "spring" refers to a warm color type, then hair shades should be chosen exactly warm. The girl will suit such tint scales - beige and wheat blond, cappuccino, caramel, light copper, ash-brown, amber, light brown, hazelnut.
One of the most common color types among Russians. It is easy to recognize it - light skin, poorly tanned, curls from light blond to medium-brown, which may very slightly darken over the years, gray or light blue eyes, sometimes light brown.
What hair dye will do? Ashy, pearl and platinum blond, chocolate and wheat palettes. Summer girl can "try on" almost all the options blond. This is what distinguishes this color type from the rest.
The cover of the winter girl is pale (sometimes with a bluish undertone), with no signs of a bright blush, maybe olive. As a rule, these are brunettes with bluish-black and rich chestnut curls. The eyes are more often brown, less often blue or gray.
Winter girl can safely choose the following shades of hair: all the palettes of black and chestnut, chocolate. And you will not necessarily walk with curls in the color of a raven wing, which can age you! Chocolate range of cosmetics varies from light to darker colors - there is plenty to choose from.

What hair dye can fit? Hazelnut, amber, light chestnut and chocolate palette, caramel, golden copper. Not all "autumn" girls will suit bright red hair. Then you should focus on the color of the eyes and skin.
Clothing style, makeup
Selecting a new shade of hair, it does not hurt to take into account other "little things" - for example, makeup and style in clothes.
Is it worth choosing bright red paint, if you occupy a solid position in your company, strictly observe a working dress code, prefer the style of nude in make-up? Here you either have to completely change your image, focusing on the new shade of curls, or stick to the old one, without much changing your appearance. From old habits that relate to style, it is very difficult to give up. Are you ready for such a change? If not, then you can only change the depth and saturation of the current color strands. And this will also help transform, given the complex techniques of hair coloring, which is now actively promoted by the master of hairdressing.
