With the recent slew of celebrities opting to become a ginger we have stumbled across a great article on Shine with celebrity stylist secrets of maintaining the perfect shade of red.
Some tips include:
- Choose a natural looking red by taking slow steps towards red hair a la Blake Lively with a rich strawberry blonde semi-permanent color that will wash out slowly.
- Make a bold statement when you have dark hair with a LOUD Red a la Rihanna but take note that while red fades fast its remnant color stays a long long time
While the tips are great, we always stand behind the idea of using hair extensions to flirt with hair color. Sew ins are a great way to do this since it allows the majority of your hair to be braided away and protected from harsh colors while you experiment away with a range of reds. The key colors to look for in hair extensions to achieve reds are:
- Color 30: Light Auburn
- Color 27: Strawberry Blonde
- Color 33: Dark Auburn
- Color 32: True Blood Red
- Color 35: Deep Mahogany Red
- Color 613: This is a platinum blonde which serves as a good base for depositing a rich red color similar to Manic Panic
to achieve a bold red statement
