Peculiarities
Stylists assure: fiery red hair color can become a highlight of almost every woman. Contrary to the assurances that it suits a few, this color can be well combined with almost any external data. Another question is that it requires additional conditions for transformation... A woman, along with a new color, will have to get used to a different make-up, a different color scheme of clothes, jewelry.

Often the fiery redhead looks provocative, and sometimes just tasteless, when this unconditional brightness is no longer supported by anything in the external appearance. For example, a woman dyed her hair, but did not change the color of her eyebrows, remained faithful to the previous foundation, blush, lipstick. In this case, the redhead really looks alien, does not paint the lady.
But if you decide to become a fiery beauty, turning to the brightest golden shades, and taking into account all the recommendations of stylists, the transformation will be successful.

Who is it for?
Despite the fact that the color can be akin to the appearance of most women, there are those categories for which the redhead suits the most. This can be called ideal raw data. For example, if a girl has light skin, either auburn or light red, without middle options, suits her.If a woman is dark-skinned, her beauty will be emphasized by deep and rich tones. With olive skin, be careful with very bright shades, but calm brownish-yellows will be organic.

Eye color is also important. If your eyes are brown, choose a rich red tone, with a departure to brown. Owners of gray, blue and green eyes should turn to golden hues. Most of all, red is suitable for green-eyed women.

In order not to be mistaken when staining, consider this:
- if clear, sufficiently deep wrinkles or noticeable skin irregularities have already appeared on the face, it is better to refuse bright shades (such colors will draw attention to imperfection);
- if you have deep gray hair, try to dye your curls in the salon - the effect of home dyeing in fiery red may disappoint you;
- if the hair is thin, weakened, brittle, you should first start treating it and only then radically dye it;
- for preliminary staining, take a toning shampoo, the result will show how you look in the new color;
- Think in advance if you are ready to change your makeup and clothes, without new elements in your appearance, the color will not be convincing.

How to paint?
A consultation with a colorist is an indispensable stage in the transformation of a modern woman. And if you are in the mood for a red color, it is difficult to achieve the desired result without this stage. To select the correct shade, a specialist will take into account the tone and type of skin, eye color, face shape, the strength of the pigment in the hair, the moisture in the strands, the individual style of the client, etc. For example, if a woman spends a lot of time outside the room, it will be difficult for her to maintain bright shade, because the pigment molecules are smaller, they will soon fade in the open air.
Trending shades include apricot, strawberry red, copper, and deep red.

If you decide to transform at home, you need to choose a high-quality paint and go through all the stages of competent staining. The first step is to assess the condition of the hair. If the hair is damaged, the coloring will have to be postponed. Not only will the paint only aggravate the condition of the curls, the color can lie in stripes and spots. Treat your hair with regenerating masks, timely haircuts.
The next moment is discoloration, often indispensable. Hairdressers refer to this process as base lightening. It is not worth completely etching out the pigment, it is enough to bring the tone depth level to 8 (light blond color). And after discoloration, you need to immediately carry out toning.

Choose a dye from a specific category. There are mass-market products, many of them really have a good composition and are adequate in price. The problem lies in the selection of the oxidant. An oxidant is a liquid that serves as an activator for a dye. The lower its concentration, the less damage will be done to the hair.
In professional dyes, you yourself choose the percentage of the oxidizing agent, the degree of color brightness and the concentration of the dye composition.

The painting process consists of the following steps:
- bleaching of dark hair up to the 8th tone;
- toning in a suitable color - it occurs as usual dyeing, when the hair is divided into four zones and dye each in stages, ending with a section at the forehead and temples;
- fixing the color using special masks and balms.

Do not forget to apply a greasy cream to the most vulnerable areas of the face before painting. It will prevent the skin from staining. Wash off the dye until the water is completely transparent. Avoid washing your hair for at least three days after painting. Do not use thermal devices, do not walk with your head uncovered in the scorching sun.
If you do not want to expose curls to chemical dyes, turn to natural, the most famous of which is henna... This remedy practically never gives an allergic reaction, is easily applied at home, does not include ammonia.
Subsequently, to revitalize the color, you can make natural henna masks. 2 glasses of hot water, a glass of warm kefir and a teaspoon of olive oil + the usual amount of henna = recipe for a coloring nourishing mask for red hair.

Follow-up care
The color fastness and the quality of the curls depend on how you build the system for caring for dyed hair. There are basic rules that always work, regardless of the chosen dye, hair color and length.
- Before using a hair dryer or straightening (ironing) tongs, apply heat protection products. It will be a spray or a serum, it doesn't matter. The main thing is to give the hair protection, otherwise the frequent use of thermal devices will aggravate the condition of the curls.
- The shampoo you will be using should be for colored hair, low pH. This will help maintain the brightness of the shade for several months.
- Use a moisturizing or nourishing mask after each shampoo.
- Each shampoo should be completed with the use of oil-silicone products for the ends of the hair. Apply the composition only to the ends in order to hold the sections together. This method will allow you to grow long hair without loss and quickly enough.

Specifically for red hair, there are shampoos and masks with the addition of natural coloring ingredients (cinnamon, for example)... They allow the color to be fixed on the hair, and more slowly to wash out of the hair structure. Professional masks can be alternated with homemade ones. Red-haired fit masks from egg yolk and sea buckthorn oila, they have powerful restorative activity. After washing, you can rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar, but not every time.
Helps preserve color and home lamination. A professional procedure will certainly give the desired effect, but this option is not suitable for everyone. Home lamination uses natural ingredients and is inexpensive. For this procedure, pour a bag of gelatin with warm water, add a little ordinary hair balm, your favorite oil to the resulting solution.

Wash your hair and distribute the homemade composition along the entire length, without touching the root zone. After applying the mask, wrap your hair well, put on a hat, wrap it over with a towel. To enhance the effect, you can use heating with a hairdryer. The procedure will take about an hour, after which the curls should be thoroughly rinsed to remove the remaining gelatin. Try not to style, pinch or braid your hair for several days (1-2) so that there are no kinks left on it.
Try all the new options, change shades, experiment with makeup, so that the red color is perfect for your appearance. He's too bright to ignore him, not try to match his makeup, clothes, image in general.
