    Red hair seems like it’s so tough to pull off, but the truth is, it’s totally attainable. While most of us might think of bright, fire-engine hues, red can run the gamut from having dark brown undertones to auburn highlights. In other words, there’s a range.\n<\/p>\n

    This is fortunate for us, because not only do we love dark red hair colors, but the sheer variety of shades means there’s something for every skin tone. This shade is super complementary and usually comes down to personal preference.\n<\/p>\n

      We love Sophie Turner’s take on red, which veers darker. “Dark red hair is different from copper and other red tones as it is on the deeper side of the spectrum,” stylist Chelsey Pickthorn says. “Depending on what your natural color is, generally deeper reds show more in the light and have a reflection that reads red. Many times the undertones are red-orange or red-violet.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Dua Lipa’s pop star red head era will always be famous\u2014and took more than 10 hours to achieve. (Sure, she eventually went back to brunette. But we think it was worth it.)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Halle Bailey’s deep red hue is concentrated on the ends of her hair for a dip-dyed effect. Before you schedule an appointment, know that red is “the hardest color to keep up and the hardest to get rid of,” Pickthorn says. This is due to the amount of pigment, and the special mixing that goes into creating your perfect hue.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      We love Isla Fisher’s all-over reddish-brown shade, which has just a touch of highlight framing her face. Keep in mind that, while celebrities are good starting points when it comes to inspiration, Pickthorn says it’s important to go with what works for you. Your shade should reflect your unique qualities, taking hair texture, base color, and natural undertones into consideration.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Sadie Sink’s hair is always a source of inspiration when it comes to getting a deep red hue, but we’re not all lucky enough to have her natural pigment. Depending on what the base is, this can be a high-maintenance color. Six to 10 weeks between touch-ups is usually recommended.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Pickthorn likes to encourage people to enhance their natural shade; if they want red and are on the lighter side, she would lead them to color that would not scream artificial.

      If you want your color to stay as vibrant as Sza’s cherry cola looks, forgo shampoo and conditioner for two days after your dye session and be gentle with you hair. Try using cold water when you do wash your hair (heat will open the hair shaft and could cause you to lose some dye in the shower).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
