Red hot… and cool

Red hot… and cool - New look, no commitment

Don’t let the inevitable arrival of winter get you down. Warm yourself up with some red hot shades and turn heads in the process.

Red, the colour of passion… From the softness of strawberry blonds to the depths of burgundies, reds are the ideal shades to enhance your natural beauty.

Who can do red?

Absolutely anyone can… if you choose the right red. The wrong shade can make your complexion appear washed out, sickly or red.

The main elements to consider are your complexion and the colour of your eyes. For example, warm and coppery shades flatter green/hazel eyes and peachy or tanned skin tones. Blue eyes and rosy skin are best enhanced by violet and burgundy shades.

Only few percent of women are natural redheads, yet red is one of the most popular haircolours today. Head-turning ginger tones draw us with the promise of a fun, outgoing personality, while a deep, sultry scarlet reveals a dash of femme fatale.

Expert advice

Reds are beautiful and vibrant. Unfortunately, these shades contain colour molecules that are rather small and tend to wash away when shampooing, resulting in a dye that fades sooner than others. The following suggestions will help you keep your colour vibrant for longer:

Re-colour hair every four to five weeks for colour that is always bright and luminous.

Make sure that hair is well saturated with colouring agent. Leave dye on as long as possible in order to maximise the deposit of pigments and intensify the brightness of the result.
