A few months ago, when rounding up the hottest hair colors for fall<\/a>, I noticed something unusual \u2014 a consensus. While trends are, by their very nature, widespread, they usually exist within <\/em>each hair color; this tone is popular with blondes, these highlights are beloved by brunettes<\/a>, etc. But this fall, the message was clear: Be it copper bronde or mulled wine, everyone<\/em> wants to be a redhead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the pros, there are a few factors behind this noticeable shift. For one, while the internet bickers over who can even consider themselves a blonde (just search \u201clevel 7 hair\u201d on TikTok), red hair is shockingly inclusive. \u201cRed has become just as customizable as any other color today; it\u2019s not the early 2000s anymore, when your only options were fire-engine red or brass,\u201d says Ashley Rose<\/a>, a professional colorist and Danger Jones<\/a> expert. These days, it\u2019s easier than ever to find a shade that suits your look and your personality. \u201cNow we have cool red-violets, cherry colas, coppers<\/a>, strawberry blonde, [and] so much more room to find a version of red that actually suits your skin tone and natural hair color,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And once you find your perfect red, you might find yourself glowing \u2014 literally. \u201cWhen you create the perfect red that complements a client\u2019s skin tone, eye color, and natural coloring, it can completely change their life,\u201d says Nikki Lee<\/a>, a professional hairstylist and Wella Professionals<\/a> global brand ambassador. \u201cIt can make their skin glow, their eyes pop, and suddenly they feel like the best version of themselves. That\u2019s what makes red so stunning… and I think that\u2019s exactly why it\u2019s trending right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read on to find out which shade of red might be right for you (based on your hair color and undertones), with tips, tricks, and insights from the pros.<\/p>\n

How to Find Your Perfect Shade Of Red<\/h2>\n

Starting From Blonde<\/h3>\n

With blonde hair, the name of the game is light and bright. \u201cBecause the hair is already light, you can create so much luminosity and dimension without making the color feel heavy,\u201d says Lee.<\/p>\n

Chris Appleton<\/a>, professional hairstylist and Schwarzkopf Professional<\/a> global color ambassador, recommends starting \u201cwith a lighter strawberry or peachy hue, like the rose gold transformation I crafted for Martha Stewart<\/a>. It gives you the red-hair energy while keeping the hair bright and soft.\u201d And, since you\u2019re starting light, you don\u2019t even have to go full-on dye mode to get the look. \u201cA gloss is perfect for this because it adds tone and shine without making the result feel heavy,\u201d he adds. <\/p>\n

Starting From Brown<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re starting with brown hair, consider sprinkling on a little cinnamon. \u201cBrunettes look amazing in deeper, more polished reds,\u201d says Tracey Cunningham<\/a>, a professional colorist and Schwarzkopf Professional\u2019s U.S. creative director of color & technique. \u201cThink cinnamon brunette or cherry cola.\u201d Appleton concurs: \u201cFor brunettes, I\u2019m into deep auburn, chestnut red, and cinnamon tones, like the \u2018Whiskey Copper<\/a>\u2019 look I created for Chrishell Stause,\u201d he says. \u201cThese colors look expensive and glossy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting From Black<\/h3>\n

\u201cFor black hair, I love a wine red or dark cherry because you see the color when it catches the light,\u201d says Appleton. Rose is a fan of cherry reds for dark hair colors, too, along with shades like auburn and mahogany. \u201cThese emphasize the richness red brings to darker hair, and I think we\u2019ll see a lot of deep, rich reds this fall,\u201d she says. \u201cMy favorite mahogany mix is using Danger Jones<\/a> permanent color 5-65 and 5-52; it\u2019s stunning on deeper bases and still work-appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
