Auburn hair color: who suits and how to get it?

The red color is not just a wealth of shades, but also the widest variety of tones, among which are bright and bold, gentle and soft, the most natural and acid-bold. It is important to find your own shade among this variety - suitable for your color type and the image as a whole.

Naturally red-haired people are only 2%, and not all of them are proud of such a rare hair color. But there are a lot of people who want to repaint themselves in various shades of red. Someone is close to this color, because it is able to reflect a person's temperament, energy, sensuality, passion - to visually enhance their "I".

If you have skin:

• peach / golden tone - dark red, classic hair color is very likely to suit you;
• olive shade - red is possible, but always a deep, saturated color;
• light, pale - bright red, in this case, will make your image daring, perhaps a little boyish (with an appropriate haircut), while a deep copper tint will give your image aristocracy, nobility;
• with a pinkish undertone - redhead in this case goes to units, it should be perfect skin, a clear oval of the face, bright eyes.

Red shades as a provocation (with a minus sign) look on women of mature age. As a rule, gray hair is painted over with red, and almost always the result is a very bright, saturated color. Against this background, wrinkles look hypertrophied, the oval of the face "floats" even more and the overall image is provocative.

If you have a lot of freckles and abundant pigmentation on your face, an auburn is equally likely to be both very successful and a complete failure. Again, the younger the girl, the clearer the oval of the face and the more perfect the skin (especially around the eyes, near the nose), the more chances of success.

If you have a light iris, an auburn one may not work either - your personality will be washed out, organics will go away and all your features will be as if disguised. But you can play with light red and red-sand shades, especially if the skin is not pale.

The most interesting thing in choosing red paint is getting to know the variety of shades. The case when one color is more beautiful than the other and it is really difficult to decide. Surprisingly, sometimes a gap of 1-2 tones radically changes the image of a person. If you lighten the redhead a little, the woman becomes younger, the image acquires lightness, the facial features become brighter. Conversely, sometimes the redhead needs to be darkened so that it becomes organic to a particular type of appearance.

Halftone palette.

• Amber - this is a very light, beautiful shade, it includes inclusions of a nutty tone, which softens the color. Suitable for girls with even skin tone and beautiful eye color.

• Terracotta - the color has a pronounced copper sheen, but not flashy, not provocative.

• Blazing copper - bright golden highlights are inherent in the color.

• Copper red. The color has a pronounced shade of red, which on a person of one type of appearance will look vulgar, inappropriate impudent, and on the other - rich and aristocratic. Remember Rose, the heroine of Titanic: the right facial features, perfect skin, youth - her copper-red curls were amazing for her. But it’s unlikely that they would have decorated Kate Winslet today. Because what was chosen in youth may become irrelevant in maturity.

• Dark copper. This color has a chocolate undertone and it often becomes the choice of those who are tired of being in the image of a brown-haired woman for a long time. I want brightness, liveliness, play of overflows, of which the color is more than capable.

• Mahogany... Favorite "grandmother's" color with the presence of a purple hue, which in fact rarely suits anyone. Ladies with eyes the color of ripe cherries, bright eyelashes and eyebrows, good skin and expressive facial features can try on mahogany, but even these conditions are sometimes not enough for the organic color.

• Bordeaux... This purple-tinted color is often preferred by middle-aged brown-eyed women, and it really suits many of them.

• Burgundy. The dark ruby ​​color is suitable for brown-eyed, dark-skinned women who prefer brightness over monochrome in their clothes.

• Red tree. This color contains red, red and brown. Usually it is chosen by women up to 30-35 years old.

And these are not all shades of red, there are many nuanced tones that a professional stylist will select.

Self-staining is always a risk. Especially if you do not want to delve into the process, study the action of the formula components, analyze the composition of the dye (in a word, delve into the topic). It's easier, of course, to go to the store, buy unprofessional paint and dye your curls at home.

At least three factors affect durability and the final result:

• the quality of the dye composition;
• compliance with the technological process;
• correct care after painting.

Even if you dye your hair at home, try to purchase only professional dye. Cheap paints are always unpredictable, and instead of deep golden chestnut or caramel cinnamon, you can end up with a messy carrot color.

The professional product (any lines and numbers) cannot contain coal tar, lead acetate. But it will almost always be present B vitamins, as well as various plant extracts useful for hair and skin.

Examples of paints that help you get a high-quality auburn color:

• L'Oreal Luo Color 5.5, 5.64, 6.04, as well as 6.46, 6.66, 7.46;
• Schwarzkopf Brilliance 845, 854, plus 867, 872;
• Ollin 4/4, 5/4, 5/6, 6/4, etc .;
• Organic 5FR, 6RC, 7 MH, and 7 more FR, 8FR;
• Londa Professional 5/46, 6/45;
• Igora Royal 4-88, 5-7, 5-88, 6-77, 6-88 are also suitable.

Of course, it is difficult not to mention such common transformation options as the use of henna and basma. Henna is a natural, harmless dye based on dried and powdered leaves of the Lawsonia bush. It is a cheap, widespread, time-tested dye. And this is really not the worst choice for those who do not want to expose their hair to a chemical dye.

If you have a natural dark blond hair color with a light, very soft golden tint, henna dyeing will bring this golden tint forward and make it noticeable. The result will be a gorgeous auburn, without dirty, "rusty" shades. Over time, it will fade, but you will not be able to bring it out at all.

Basma is also a natural dye, a powder made from indigo leaves. It is mixed with henna as a dimmer. Therefore, in order to get an auburn one precisely at the expense of henna, you will have to add basma to the formula. The proportions are usually indicated on the packaging, but, as a rule, the desired shade is often achieved empirically. 2 parts of henna accounts for 1 part of basma - this is a classic solution for getting an auburn color.

You can make sure that the paint takes on as well as possible and holds the color steadily with the help of an attentive, competent approach to staining. Whether it will be a haircut-haircut, bob or long hair - in this case it is not so important: an even and rich tone deserves hair of any length.

Coloring tips.

• Ideally, you need to dye healthy curls, then the color will only emphasize their splendor and will not "finish off" the hair. If the hair is dry, it is practically lifeless, first the curls should be treated. A course of masks and restorative procedures, and only after that you can start staining.
• It is great if you are guided by the original, natural hair color when choosing a paint. A ginger composition can go well with any starting color other than black and deep dark shades. In some cases, pre-pickling or clarification is definitely necessary.
• Be sure to read the instructions, even if you have done it many times and think that the compiler will not write anything new. This is an erroneous opinion: both the holding time of the paint, and the method of mixing, and the subsequent fixation of the color in the two cases of staining may differ. Therefore, read everything in the instructions and do not forget to conduct a chemical composition tolerance test.
• If you currently have blond or gray hair, remember that this will make the shade 1-1.5 tones brighter.
• The ginger pigment fades quickly enough, but at the same time washing it completely is another task. It will be problematic to return a blond, and even more so a natural light brown, it is often easier to cut the length and grow it first.

If you currently have highlighting, and really want to get a redhead, an experiment with staining can be both brilliant and a failure. In some cases, you will get golden, deep auburn curls with light copper tints. But sometimes it's just a dirty rusty color with yellow highlights. Do not apply this type of staining at home.

In order for the curls dyed in red to shine, and the color is not faded, expressionless, it is very important to organize the subsequent care for them after coloring.

Little tricks for the beauty of red hair.

• Herbal decoctions - an improvised tool for beauties of different eras. No chemistry, only natural action, mild and healthy. Chamomile, linden and onion skins are the most common ingredients in these hair rinses. And the recipe with parsley and hops is also interesting - such a decoction, regularly applied to the hair after washing, will make the dyed hair lively and shiny.
• If applied to curls for just 30 minutes a mixture of carrot and beet juice, you will add brightness to the red color.
• Another popular rinse for red hair: water with a little citric acid or apple cider vinegar.
• When choosing store masks for strengthening hair and color fastness, pay attention on formulas that include cherry, pomegranate and cinnamon. They help the ginger color stay saturated longer and make the hair stronger.
• The sun's rays have a negative effect on red hair. It can fade ahead of time if you constantly "expose" to ultraviolet light. In addition, essential oils should be included in the list of permanent care products.
• For a brilliant and lively auburn color hair may lack lamination procedures. And we are not talking about "professional chemistry", even homemade gelatin lamination can have a beneficial effect on the appearance of hair.

To paint or not is a question that requires a clear analysis. As always, real examples help out.

Among the stellar red-haired beauties for whom their hair color is simply incredible, one can note Julianne Moore (noble pallor plus delicate blue eyes perfectly match the red one), Lindsay Lohan (despite other experiments, a green-eyed red-haired girl with freckles is her best image). Young Julia Roberts looked gorgeous with auburn hair color, and different shades of red on Cynthia Dicker just look perfect.
