This hairstyle looks so natural! Brighten up your base with light highlights blended in with the other shades of red. The trick creates a vibrant appearance of your locks that literally glow from within.
The deep red with hints of honey makes for a bright and eye-catching solution. Throw in a few soft waves to help the color flow luxuriously through your mane. Low-maintenance and easy-to-style, this is a fabulous everyday ‘do, but it’s also ideal for any kind of formal occasion.
@hairluvbytiffany
The bob haircut is an excellent partner for a red balayage. The wavy, messy texture of the cool cut lends itself well to the edgy appeal of the rich hue.
@hairbynoora
Bright golden auburn highlights lend a bit of radiance to any hairstyle. Instead of going for a streaky glam, it’s best to opt for something natural, just like this! The maintenance is easy, plus the warm highlights look as if they’re meant to be there!
@prettylittleombre
Sometimes, red turns out subdued, as almost blonde. It looks one way in pictures and another way in real life. A light tone like this blends peachy blonde shades with touches of orange, ginger, and red for a light and soft color solution.
@phildoeshair
Brunette and red shades blend together beautifully. Here, again, there are hints of brown and auburn. The mix creates a completely natural look, which is just the thing for ladies who appreciate delicate and sophisticated hair color solutions which are called to enhance their natural beauty.
@queenvenalove
If you’re not ready to get totally red hair, it’s easy to give brown hair a peach tint, so it’s not quite red but carries subtle highlights with a delicate sheen. The upkeep on something like this is effortless, especially compared to a full dye job.
@hairbynoora
This vivid auburn hair color is a fantastic match for a fair skin tone even if you use nude make up. To add some spice to the gorgeous balayage, make the tips lighter. Strawberry blonde would be a perfect hue to pair.
@american_salon
Is red good hair color for dark skin tones? Absolutely! Different shades of auburn can look stunning on a dark skin tone. A short cut coupled with a rich palette of red tones is something that will definitely turn heads.
@haircolorkilla
You can give your long wavy hair a Hollywood vibe with the help of this beautiful copper hair color. Just look how the tone of highlights changes from a darker shade of red at the top and down to a light golden tint at the bottom.
@jmc.hair
Rich highlights make the long auburn hair look vibrant and eye-catching. The tangerine streaks help to emphasize the shape of this amazing red mane. You should definitely steal the glam to rock Instagram!
@maeipaint
If you’re not into the deep, daring bright shades but still want to try red hair, ask your colorist to recreate this awesome look. Just have a glance at how beautifully the money piece frame the face. Natural red hair appears exceptionally good on ladies with gray to green eye color and fair skin.
@colorbymaddie
If you want something to rock this season, steal the look! A bold ombre with a smooth transition from deep auburn to golden tones is the scheme you need to brighten up rainy days.
@_danielledoeshair
This is a great example of how a mixture of red tones can create volume if you have thin hair. Hundreds of tones and subtones are elaborately arranged to emphasize the structure of the mane, the golden streaks being a cherry on top.
@live_love_dohair
The transition the colorist managed to achieve with this ombre is admirable. Although the darkest and the lightest tones are strikingly contrasting, the transition looks smooth and natural. These vibrant orange and red tones are an excellent choice if you consider getting a bright look but don’t want to stick to a single hair tone.
@_watchmepaint
Nothing complements blue eyes and a pale skin tone more beautifully than red hair. Ask you colorist to create an amazing look like this by elaborately mixing red and orange strands and highlighting the face-framing pieces with a light tone.
@styledby_debbe
If you’d love to create a bright look for fall, consider getting a pixie with a piece-y fringe and couple it up with the bold copper. Light orange highlights help to emphasize the shape, while curly style makes this gorgeous hair tone appear feminine.
@haircolorkilla
If you find it hard to choose the right shade for your next great look, we recommend getting them all at a time, as this lady did. The splendid ombre combines a wide range of red tones, from dark to light to make your medium hair absolutely stunning.
@_danielledoeshair
There’s something incredibly sensual about loose ombre waves. They give an impression that you have been rolling around in bed all day, but still manage to look effortlessly chic. For such a natural glam, try a subtle ombre to show off every hint of you sunset-inspired style.
@rachelblythestudio
Unfortunately, many women who work in corporate environments aren’t able to experiment with color and cuts as much because of conservative dress codes. The dark copper hair color is eye-catching yet elegant. Balance it with a sleek haircut.
@shondabroadus
Ginger hair has a distinct mix of golden blonde and red that blends to create lively orange. It works best on women with fair and porcelain skin, and bright green or blue eyes.
@bkhairartistry
Make your own distinct scheme by blending different shades. A dark auburn at the roots will make your strands look thick, while a light spicy red at the ends will appear sun-kissed and natural.
@beautique119
With the age of Netflix, it’s not hard to draw inspiration for your next style from old television classics. Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be known for her spunky blonde locks, but who can forget her best friend Willow’s deep red bob? Years later it still remains a timeless and stylish must-have look.
@ayyo_kenzie
This ginger hair is multidimensional with sultry shades of orange and rust. Try both balayage and ombre techniques in one hairstyle to come up with a customized red solution that’s modern, pretty, and radiant.
@myhairfixation
Ginger hues can involve all sorts of shades from the red color family. The shade with an orange undertone is ideal for girls who want to grab onto the ginger trend. There are touches of red gold that come together beautifully.
@romeufelipe
Different shades of red mix together beautifully. Rich red highlights and auburn lowlights combine to create a scheme that’s vivacious and ever-changing. For an eye-catching red look it’s best to choose a mix of dark and medium shades, although a few pale strands can brighten the hair too.
@larisadoll
Red is a perfect complement to brunette shades. One way to add interest and flair to brown hair is to introduce some rich red and brownish streaks.
@wesdoeshair
Spicy highlights can make a big impact, especially when added to plum red or burgundy hair. Just a few lighter streaks are enough to brighten the base, adding dimension, texture, and a healthy-looking radiance.
Oh well, it’s heavenly but let’s assume it’s not for everyone. If you strive for a bold pop of color and can withstand this degree of saturation and contrast, go for it. Pair with bright lips.
@seaofshoes
It doesn’t have to look like a new penny. A light shade is a subtle take on the color. The hair appears stripped down and sleek with golden undertones mixed in with the red, leading to a dazzling hairstyle.
@romeufelipe
An edgy cut calls for an edgy color and, likewise, a unique, eye-catching color works best with a signature haircut. They complement each other, as in the case with this modern shag, brightened with a rich blend of the red hair dye.
@joeltorresstyle
Ombre is still a sizzling trend, and it looks exceptional when it’s done up with shades of red. These stunning curls are on fire with a mix of dark, light, and medium tones, as well as hints of true red and apricot.
@alix_maya
This is almost a true red, yet the tones of orange mix in for a rich, vibrant hair color that’s too good to be true. Red hair looks beautiful whether it’s straight or curly, but these bouncy curls really have something magnetizing about them.
@hairstylist_ani
Mixing delicate reds with brown and adding in an ombre effect is eye-catching and outside-the-box without being too wild or ostentatious. This hairstyle represents a perfect way for brunettes to ease into spicy shades. Starting off with a natural base makes for easier upkeep, plus, the touches of the vivid color at the bottom draw even more attention, as they are sprinkled next to a more subdued shade.
@off7thsalon
Orange red is a versatile shade that throws off a variety of fiery hues. Blending light and dark red, and every shade in between results in a marvelous, molten head of hair that looks like a gorgeous autumn day. All by itself, that’s a beautiful style, but it’s easy to take it up another notch with a few well-placed pink streaks.
@guy_tang
Here’s a stunning example of how to pull off reddish brown locks. A brown base with light, dark, and medium autumn shades on top is on-point, on-trend, and out-of-this-world. Note how every curl seems to throw off a different hue, and how the brown underside is dark enough to make all the reds stand out.
@curlragehairstudio
This ombre hairstyle is trendy and totally cute! Yes, you can mix in cinnamon into your hairstyle softly if you have black hair. We love how the black at the roots blends with burgundy midshaft and then lightens to a pretty, penny-inspired shade of red. The cut itself complements the color perfectly!
@rachelpesh
Create a contrast of textures within your strawberry hair by mixing tight spirals at the ends with a long loose side bang. It’s a sort of a sexy peek-a-boo that remains flat on top but still manages to work in some soft, touchable curls through the ends.
@sarah_fluidcolor
If you have fine hair that won’t hold a curl, there’s still hope for a sassy and exciting style. Using a bright color with a dark brown base creates the illusion of density. Keeping your strands straight will easily show off the variations in hair color.
@christineazzopardi
Olive skin tones like this one look best with warm hair colors because they highlight the gold and yellow undertones. An easy trick to determine your skin undertones and choose the best hair color for your skin tone is to examine the veins in your wrist: green veins indicate warm tones, while blue veins indicate cool tones.
@hairsouffle
Beach waves can be worn not only when you are on vacation. While they may look tropical or disheveled on blonde and brown hair, somehow, they appear edgy with a copper hair color. Parting your hair with a deep side part adds an element of mystery.
@boodaghian
Even as a cartoon character, Jessica Rabbit remains an iconic redhead. With her side part and flowing waves, the classic layered style is undeniably attractive. Make it more modern with a two-tone hair color solution – red and blonde hair dyes are good companions.
@hairbyalanarocket
Style your long cherry brown hair in giant shiny waves that almost seem too good to be true. Wear them loose or gather them in an elaborate updo for a more elegant look fit for a special occasion.
@do.or.dye.riverside
Angled haircuts are usually reserved for thin or fine strands, but it doesn’t mean that thick-haired women should count them out. The key is to use a rich color with highlights to break up the density and look sophisticated.
@shear_cuts
Gone are the days when only geeky women wore glasses. Now they are hipster chic and pair well with a trendy golden red hue and casual half-up bun. Add winged eyeliner to make an accent on the eyes.
@brina_s_
An angled bob is the ultimate look for a busy woman on the go. If you need a hairstyle that will easily transition from work to play and fit any occasion, this picture is a good example. Add a bit of flair with a blonde streak that will pop against reddish hair.
@paintedbyricky
Compliment a fresh face with an equally minimal hairstyle. Long hair and a flirty fringe are effortless and fashionable without being overdone. If you want a little extra oomph, try working with accessories like a fun hat or a flower to bring more style points to your look.
@linakova
Going for a bolder and hotter hue, be ready for extra attention. With a fun messy hairstyle like this, you will only double it. And that’s not a bad thing when you are pretty, young, and adventurous.
@american_salon
A rich velvety ginger tone won’t leave anyone indifferent. With a hair color like this, you can’t go unnoticed in the crowd even if you are wearing neutral colors and the plainest casual outfit.
@american_salon
A solid intense auburn hair hue works fantastic for naturally curly hair in eco-inspired hairstyles. We love this intricate messy braided downdo with simple natural adornments, intensifying the copper notes of the hair.
@american_salon
As this gallery shows, copper hair color extends far beyond the shade of a simple penny. It includes a wide palette of hair colors, from soft, natural shades to vivid, saturated ones. You can also customize the base of your color, varying it from ginger to tangerine. If red is a suitable shade for your skin tone, you can experiment with different versions to find your ideal look. Keep in mind that any red hair color requires proper maintenance, so be sure to use products for dyed hair to protect your shade from fading.
