Red hair looks great in all forms, but we do have a soft spot for red curls. This voluminous look is stunning in the copper hair color, and it ideally suits ladies with light skin tones. Plus, mid-neck-length haircuts are easy to maintain.
@yukistylist
We encourage everyone with naturally red hair to emphasize their color with a stylish chin-length bob. With a side part and choppy ends, this cut will look more voluminous and brighter, giving more texture to your red strands.

If bright red tones fell too much for you, red lowlights appearing from the darkness is a fun style to match with an angled bob cut. With this highlighted look, you can have the pleasure of red hair with less commitment.
@shmoakin_hair
If you want your style to speak before you do, this one says it all. It combines lively curls that add dimension and movement with a vibrant copper hue that instantly catches the eye. This type of hairstyle beautifully complements tanned skin tones, making it a perfect choice for a standout look.
@axfagundes
This hairstyle deserves special attention. The shaggy cut with carved out layers creates plenty of airy volume and blurs the line between the base color and the face-framing highlights. Canary yellow beautifully offsets the rich reddish tones.

There’s something captivating in the bright hue of the hair, especially when you’re wearing nude makeup. The haircut done this way is a great way to frame the face and visually elongate it, while the rich color is a good option to emphasize your facial features.

When experimenting with short red hair, ask your hairdresser for a multi-tonal look. Having both lowlights and highlights of red adds a sparkling dimension to your locks. Just imagine how stunning this tousled red hair will look in the sunlight!

@kristinacheeseman
This short, piecey pixie is super low-maintenance, yet it draws no less attention than all those catchy long hairstyles. Orange-red shades don’t flatter every skin tone, but if you have pale skin, you can absolutely pull them off.
@shapeshifthair
This pixie hairstyle is full of texture and drama. A cherry red tone like this will perfectly complement a darker skin tone. It’s a great style if you want to add height or elongate your features. In addition, shaved sides will give a bit more rock’n’roll to your style.

@casistauffer
This gorgeous red hair look is great for any occasion because it can be dressed up or down. Can’t you just imagine how cute this would look with a sparkly barrette or headband? It also requires very little fuss in the morning because it looks wonderful with both wavy and straight styles.

A bob is a fabulous haircut to showcase a fresh color job. Go with straight lines if you like architectural styles, or with a more gradient, layered cut if softness and flexibility are your hair goals. This blunt style helps the light auburn tones shine.
@peachstockholm
Pixie haircuts are often appreciated by moms because of the minimal amount of effort they need to look chic. Even the just-got-out-of-bed approach often works with this kind of haircut.
@meucabelocurto
For Afro-textured hair, it can be more difficult to get that bright red hair dye to stick. In these cases, we recommend going for a deep red shade to bring out the browns in your skin and to highlight your face. This curly hairstyle looks gorgeous with dipped ends in rich maroon.
@kandyfhair_
This gorgeous copper hue flatters light complexions, but looks good with tanned skin too. Red hues can work with any skin tone with just a little tweaking and consideration.
@miriansoares_
This ginger-hued bob looks lovely with a soft bang. Side-swept bangs like these are perfect for a relaxed and less structured look.
@trianonsalon
Layers help to communicate the richness of color. This style illustrates that perfectly. Having shoulder-length hair with layers is ideal for those who want to have the flexibility and convenience of putting their hair up into a bun or ponytail.
@maxwellmathson
This copper red is a great color to try for those who want a touch of red without being too loud. With this tonality, the hair will look brownish when indoors but will have a red sheen in the sunlight.
@nataliakop

The easiest way to ennoble your a bit outgrown pixie is to texture your locks with mousse and comb them back with a light lift at the roots. This style would look lovely with darker, grown-out roots or balayage highlights in warm hues.
