Spring Hair Color Inspiration and Formulation: Fiery Rose

EVERYDAY, LONG, MODEL, RED

image

This bright fashion tone has a fiery heart and a burgundy reflection, producing a shade both warm and cool that works on a variety of skin tones. The color sits on the blonde side of the spectrum, an unusual place to find vibrant reds. This lightness gives a glowing quality, and the mix of bright copper and amethyst offers depth and multi-dimensional shimmer. This hue works especially well with wavy or curly textures; the undulations show off its complexities –– shining crimson in the light, glowing maroon in the shadows. Get the formula for this stunning shade –– and tips for making it come alive –– in the style notes. –– Laura Martin

Red Lips With Red Hair Is A Great Way To Break The Rules

CELEBRITY, RED, SEXY

Redheads face challenges with wardrobe and makeup. Blondes and brunettes rarely think about their locks when coordinating outfits, but the copper-haired know their strands are a permanent part of their palette.  Some of this knowledge comes from experience; the first time I went red I had to trash a favorite mauve top. But red hair also comes with rules, often spouted by well-meaning friends and beauty professionals. One of the oldest and most familiar edicts is to avoid wearing red, especially on the lips. But like many tired axioms, this one is made to be broken. Emma Stone, Christina Hendricks, and Florence Welch rock the look, and you can too. Find out how in the style notes. –– Laura Martin

In a recent post, we mused over perceptions of blonde and brunette. Soon after, red heads raged: ‘what about us!’ We think the palette deserves special attention. Raven and flaxen hair is found everywhere, reds are rarer, so they are more striking, individual. And reds offer lots of variety. Tones range from blonde to orange to violet, which means creative thinking can get you a one-of-a-kind look. The shades in the collage are some of the sweetest single-tone hues for spring and summer, yet, if the jump to a full head of red hair is too big, try other options, like high or low lights, or subtle ombre effects. For ideas that can put the magic of red into any crowing glory, click style notes.

Although multi-tonal, ombre, and dip-dye colors remain fashionable and fun, this spring season will see the return of solid blocks of hair color. If this sounds good to you, and if your skin is quite pale, a rustic copper could be just the ticket. If you like this idea, but feel the vivid tone isn’t right for you, talk to your colorist about similar hues that can match your eye color, wardrobe, and makeup.
