It's a bold look, and if you go this route, you'll want to mentally prepare yourself for looks and comments. Today I'll be going for a fiery, fun, Ariel inspired color. What I've found is that I look best in the true red to copper spectrum. In the past I've played around with coppers and fire engine reds, as well as more purple based reds. Since I have medium skin tones that tend to be the slightest bit olive, I can get away with a little more pigment in my hair. Do a little research on which red hair color will look best on you, then, when you go to purchase your red hair dye, check for sample hair swatches to hold against your skin so you can see for yourself how the dye will bring out undertones in your complexion. The various hues play differently with different color palettes. Reds are either copper based, blue based (which creates more of a true red), or purple based. When you transition from brunette to red, your first consideration will be which hue is going to work best for your skin tone. Always read the instructions that come with your red hair dye prior to use. Hair dye can be caustic, and most dye instructions will caution you to do a small test in a non-visible location to ensure you don't have any negative reactions to the dye. Nor, am I implying that I have the best methods, and as with any new experience, if you have health concerns or special circumstances (pregnancy, skin sensitivity, etc.), please consult a professional and do a little research. And since the coloring process is a hurry up and wait sort of scenario, dying brown hair red at home can be much more comfortable.īefore we proceed, I do want to take a moment to add a brief disclaimer: I am not a professional hairstylist, and although I've had quite a few years experience with my own hair (which is quite fine, and a tad oily), what I share here won't work exactly the same for everyone. Over the years, I've gone both the DIY route and the professional stylist route in terms of coloring, and while I enjoy relaxing while someone else maintains my mane, the cost can add up. Because although I love my chestnut locks, sometimes they can feel just a little too vanilla. So in eighth grade, I experienced my first foray into the world of processed red hair and have been moving between being a brunette and a red-head casually on and off ever since. Not to mention, associated it with strong, beautiful, and accomplished women. I'm naturally blessed with beautiful brown hair (and have a few highlights currently), but as gingers were prevalent in both my mother's bloodline and my step-mother's family, I've always found myself drawn to the mystique of this recessive trait. Personally, I've had a fairly long standing relationship with red hair dye. (I know I have.) If you think you might be ready to take the plunge and trade your brown mane for something a little more spicy, read on as I share the finer points of using red hair dye without bleaching on your brown hair. If you're a brunette and have spent any time on Pinterest browsing hairstyles and colors, you may have developed an acute curiosity on how to dye your brown hair red.
