If you’re bored as a brunette but don’t want to go fully blonde or strawberry, red brown hair color just might be the shade you’re looking for. By embracing both dark hair and red tones, you inevitably get the best of both worlds.
“Red brown hair is vibrant and eye-catching, adding drama and sophistication,” says hairstylist and Ulta Beauty Pro team member Danielle Keasling. “It works well with fair to medium skin tones, enhancing warm undertones and its versatility allows shades from subtle strawberry to deep auburn brunette.”
However, these shades can fade quickly due to their high red pigment, and regular maintenance is required to keep the color vibrant. “Finding the right shade can also be tricky, as it needs to complement your natural undertones,” she continues.
If you’re thinking of dyeing your hair a reddish brown, here’s what you need to know. “Consultation is key, as red undertones can enhance or clash with your skin tone,” Keasling says. “Maintenance matters, so invest in professional color maintaining shampoos like Biolage Color Last is key to longevity and extended vibrancy. First-timers may start with red-leaning highlights before committing to a full color.”
