    Are you looking to hop on the red train? Being a redhead is a full-time commitment, that’s true, but once you treat your tresses to a fiery shade rest assured, it will be the present that keeps on giving. Going red will surely make you get noticed, and although it’s a very demanding shade I have to admit, there’s something absolutely unique about a woman that rocks red hair.

    1. How To Choose A Red Shade?

    When choosing a red shade, it's mandatory you keep in consideration a few key points that will make your new hairstyle pop and go in harmony with the rest of your complexion, fashion style, and makeup preferences. Your skin undertone, for example, is the one thing to start with - as it will define how your new hue will complement your natural palette. Last but not least, your eye color, a few wardrobe changes, and ultimately your budget will help you make the right decision.

    2. Cool Undertones

    If your skin has a cool undertone (the veins on your wrists tend to look blue rather than green, and silver jewellery looks divine on you), you can easily warm things up with flaming hot shades meant to give you a glowing, healthy look. Consider deep and rich in colour shades such as copper, strawberry, deep red or a warm mix of cinnamon tones. These types of reds make cool undertones look naturally brighter and lively, and are suitable for lots of different hairstyles to spice things up on a special occasion.

    Strawberry Blonde

    This shade is the perfect mix between blonde and ginger, to keep things light and easy, but with a slight kick to it. Sydney Sweeney, Emma Stone and Bella Thorne are three celebrities that have been spotted rocking this romantic shade, and look absolutely lovely in it! If you’re a blonde looking to go red without making a dramatic change, wearing this blushy, peachy shade will do the trick without missing out on being trendy. Explore our range of strawberry blonde hair extensions to bring your natural tresses to life with new hairstyles, adding volume and/or length.
