Hairstyle:going red regardless of your starting color

Becoming a redhead:a few rules to follow

For both women and men, the term “redhead” alone encompasses a fairly wide range of colors. You have strawberry red, auburn, copper, deep, red and many more. Your choice will mainly depend on your personality, your complexion and the color of your eyes. It is known that Venetian red will go better with blondes and copper with brunettes. The wisest thing is to call on a professional hairdresser who will guide you through the intricacies of this complex coloring. Without forgetting that the trend is for a natural effect and that it is therefore important to play with scans and shades of color which require a certain technique. Once the course is crossed, it is important to keep in mind that red is one of the most difficult colors to maintain. You must therefore provide moisturizing shampoos, masks for colored hair adapted, or even apply a pigmented balm to revive your color. The accessories and your clothes will also have to be adapted to your new coloring, because you don't wear everything you want with such a mane. That said, the game is definitely worth the candle.

Going redhead:the alternatives

If you are blonde, going red is very simple, because you just have to apply your coloring on your base. If you have naturally brown or black hair, things get complicated:either you go through the discoloration box; or you opt for a color called "broux" (brown and red) which will allow you to display pretty reflections mixed with a color close to yours. The "splashlight" - strip of color applied carefully in the middle of a dark color - is an interesting solution for those who do not wish to fade. Finally, for those who start with a dark color, you can apply a hair make-up remover like Color Out which will disgorge your hair and all this, without damaging it! From then on, you have carte blanche to let your creativity speak while respecting the basic rules mentioned above.
