Features
Bright hair dye - one of the hits of fashion trends in recent years. The red palette is a favorite among them, it is original, but not as radical as, for example, blue or green. Coloring in red can be both monochrome and complex, gradient. You can select only a few strands in this range.
Both in professional supermarkets and salons, and in the mass market there is a very large selection of shades of this palette. The range of tones is quite wide, the price range also allows you to choose a product according to your capabilities and taste. This range includes all shades of the wine-berry palette, burgundy, plum, pomegranate, copper, rose, raspberry, carrot, golden-red orange.
All these tones are bright enough, expressive, but they should be chosen with caution, since the red scale has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

giving the image a bright personality;
This color is very feminine and sexy.
Minuses:
not universal, not suitable for every image;
requires frequent correction - growing roots look very ugly;
not every color type;
there are age restrictions;
emphasizes skin imperfections.
Who are you going?
The most important criterion for choosing a shade is skin and eye color. For example, if your original color of the strands and eyes is light, and your skin is pale, it is better to refuse such a palette altogether. The brightest color you can afford is light chestnut.
If you are a blonde with dark skin and dark eyes, you can choose shades close to dark copper or bright chestnut. Light strands have an advantage - any paint falls smoothly, the result will be achieved without clarification. For black and chestnut strands, it is recommended to consider plum, cherry, burgundy, red-red gamma.
Here there is a small nuance - too dark hair will first have to be brightened to get a more saturated, deep tone.
In order to determine whether this color palette will suit you, stylists recommend using the Oswald circle. It will allow to remove possible unsuccessful options, which in combination with natural pigment or previous paint will give a greenish tone. It will be quite difficult to fix it.
Those girls whose skin has a pink tint or problems with the skin of the face, rashes will have to give up red. Unfortunately, the scarlet gamma defects and reddish skin will only flaunt to look ugly. Mature ladies should pay attention to the shade of mahogany, which looks the most status and not too emphasizes age-related changes in the skin.However, be careful: with a large number of gray hair this color can give the opposite effect.
How to choose a suitable shade?
Before you choose the right shade of red, you should study not only the palette of shades, but also your color type: cold or warm. The first is best to stay on the tones of red ruby, red garnet, scarlet, deep pink, bright red, cherry. If your skin has one of warm tones, pay attention to mahogany, red-brown, honey, red amber, red-chestnut, red chocolate, mahogany, red wine, fire.
The color of the eyes does not match the tone of the strands, but it is necessary to take into account the harmony of the combination. Ideally, this range will emphasize the eyes of green, blue.
The classic combination of brown eyes and bloody strands is also quite organic.
If cardinal changes are not included in your plans, you can use red shades in complex stains: coloring, shatush, ombre, balayazh and others. The advantage of such a procedure is to add volume to the strands, and to the image of modernity and originality.

For these purposes, henna and red wine, hibiscus and onion peel, basma and henna are mixed. Thus you can get a bright cherry and reddish-red tone. Henna is also mixed with cranberry juice, beets, and blackberries.

Often the stated resistance from the manufacturer is more than a month, there are also pigments that do not wash out for more than 6 weeks. However, the red color is quite capricious, so in order to achieve this result, the strands should provide high-quality care.

wait two days before washing the strands for the first time after the procedure;
select special products for washing and care: shampoos, balsams, hair masks, exposed to the effect of dye;
if the strands are not dirty, do not wash them too often;

use thermal protection;
buy a comb with wide teeth;
use shading means: shampoos, balms, but carefully select the shade;
apply mask at least once a week;
once in 3 days use a balm.
