When we are considering trying red ombre, we usually either want more attention or simply wish to add a fresh stylish quirk to our daily hairstyles. Whatever your reason is, red ombre can be uniquely beautiful, vivid and impressive. Besides, it suits almost everyone.

Red Ombre Hair Solutions

Here you will find different ombre ideas, depending on your basic hair color and personal preferences.

1. Colored Blunt Cut

So many styles rely upon angled cuts and wispy strands to look relevant, but with this style, a choppy, blunt cut is where it’s at. Start with a burgundy and work it down to a honey caramel hue. Or, try black and red ombre or blonde to red ombre if you want to mix things up.

2. Multiple Shades of Beauty

Go for a multidimensional hair color job that includes both dark burgundy and bright red. The result is stunning and memorable. The longer and more layered your hair is, the better it will look.

3. Natural Ombre

Looking for something a little less dramatic? Go for natural red ombre hair that quickly fades into a homegrown color like honey brown or blonde. This look will still draw attention without getting you expelled from school or skipped over for a job promotion.

4. Natural Hues

Not crazy about red? Go with a honey colored hue that glows. While it will still brighten up your strands, it isn’t unnatural and positions you in a perfect spot to sport color at the office or in other professional environments.

5. Bright Bottomed Beauty

Ombre red hair comes in a variety of hues, but bright is often better. If you have dark hair, curl it and allow red dye to twist and turn through your locks for a creative look you’ll love.

6. Red and Blonde Ombre

When you start with red, there isn’t really anywhere else to go on the color spectrum other than pink. If that feels a bit too girly for you, go with a shade of blonde instead. Straight across bangs can also give your style a brand new personality.

7. Ombre Hair with Accents

If you are nervous about having all-over red hair, ombre can be an in-between step that provides you with a whole new kind of beautiful. Get a half of your hair from the roots covered with a fire engine red and then go for a fade into a more natural color. Through braids and twists, you can position and showcase your new color in a variety of ways.

8. Light Burgundy Ombre Hair

Red ombre hair doesn’t have to be bold and bright – it can be subtle and descend into a gentle gold. The longer your hair, the more beautiful this will look – especially when paired with chunky jewelry and dramatic makeup.

9. Brown and Burgundy Waves

Sometimes color isn’t meant to be the star of the show. If you want to add some shine and dimension without making a huge statement, try a dark red hue that is close to your strands’ current color.

Blonde hair is stunning on its own, but when you mix in some bright red, you are only adding to the gorgeous drama. Get your locks lightened to the degree where they’re almost white, and then apply the red accents so they look practically painted on.

Thin, straight hair will benefit from an angled cut, and color will only make it more beautiful. Opt for a red hue that contains pink undertones, and then go for blonde on the ends.

21. Red Ombre For Brunettes

If you are dark-haired, going to the solid fiery red color is not an option, while this eye-popping ombre would be right to the point for the brunettes who want to appear brighter than they already are. Dark burgundy for the roots, flame-colored streaks for the middle and the reddish blonde for the ends make a thrilling color blend.

22. Cherry Red Ombre

Classic auburn red is flattering mainly for women with warm-toned skin and native warm hair hue. What about all the rest? Cool-toned brunettes and black-haired women should opt for the cooler hues of red, such as cherry red or oxblood. This black-to-cherry-red ombre is amazing and super-flattering for this pale-skinned girl.

23. Intelligent Red Ombre

If you work at office and have a certain dress code, I doubt whether you can afford extremely bright hair hues, whereas this intelligent solution looks natural, stylish and on-trend. Paler and more muted shades of auburn are easily enlivened with sun-kissed blondish ombre highlights. This shaggy elongated bob could hardly have a better coloristic solution, indeed. More great medium shag haircuts can be found here.

24. Real Red Ombre

With hair color like this even in the simplest outfit you will never blend with the crowd. Half fiery red, half strawberry blonde with a soft seamless transition is a terrific coloristic idea for girls who enjoy being the centre of everyone’s attention. And here are tons of versatile ombre hair color solutions for blonde, brown, red and black hair.

25. Natural-Looking Red Ombre

The most low-maintenance ombre for real redheads looks like this. Leaving your natural auburn hue at the roots, you ask your stylist to make it lighter at the ends. As a result, a new growth doesn’t need any color correction, while you sport you classy natural-looking ombre locks and look all the rage!

As you see, ombre is a really cool idea. Regardless of your basic hair color and length of your hair, you can find a great ombre solution that instantly upgrades your daily looks. In regards to this, you are welcome to visit Ombre Highlights Section for inspiration.
