Ruby hair color: shades, choice of dyes, care tips

The easiest way to change your appearance is to dye your hair in a color that is radically opposite to its natural shade. Lovers of experimentation in pursuit of a non-standard way often choose bright and sometimes even somewhat shocking shades for their curls. Among them, the favorite is the red (aka ruby) hair color. Its varied palette allows it to stay in fashion for many decades. A rich selection of different shades makes red a universal color for everyone, regardless of age, eye color and skin tone.

There can be many shades of ruby: from pinkish red to muted dark ruby. Sometimes manufacturers of hair dyes deliberately mix several pigments at once in order to achieve a new shade. Therefore, in stores you can find ruby paint with an admixture of raspberry, cherry, plum, wine, as well as pink and even purple.

If you decide to take such a bold step, how to give your hair a bright color for the first time, you should not immediately run to the store for permanent paint. It is recommended to start with tint products. These can be special shampoos, balms or tonics. Their effect is temporary, and the permanent is washed off several times.

Dark-haired brown-haired women can immediately try full-fledged persistent paints. But for burning brunettes, it is recommended to begin with lightening their hair in order to get a richer shade.

Until recently, the habit of changing hair color was exclusively the prerogative of women, and today already young guys with bright hair not only look at us from TV screens and fashionable gloss, but are also found in everyday life, especially in large metropolitan areas. Stylists assure that on short hair, the red color looks especially expressive.

If you decide on a radical change of image or have already used this shade before, you can safely go to the store to choose paint. It is believed that a ruby ​​tone is more suitable for people with a darker skin tone than for those with a pale complexion. Therefore, ideally slightly tan before painting... But before a trip to the south, it is very dangerous to repaint in ruby, especially for those who quickly burn in the sun. Nature can play a cruel joke with you: red hair on a red face is not the best combination.

In general, stylists recommend adhering to the rule: the darker the original hair color, the more saturated shade you should choose. So, on natural blondes and girls with previously bleached hair, the ruby ​​color scheme will be more intense even when using toning agents.

Despite the many positive aspects, it must be remembered that red is a very cunning and capricious color. He has several negative points to be aware of.

• Even the most durable and high-quality paint is quickly washed out, the color becomes dull and stops being effective. The ruby ​​shade requires constant follow-up care with the help of various tint and cosmetic products, and this may entail additional costs.

• If you use poor quality paint, then it can dye not only your hair, but also your clothes, as well as the bedding on which you sleep.

• For ruby ​​hair to look good, you need to have perfectly healthy skin. If there is any inflammation on it, red will enhance their expressiveness.

• All shades of ruby ​​cause increased attention from others. If you are naturally shy, then this interest is unlikely to benefit you.

• Red hair requires additional expressiveness of the face, therefore, along with the hair, it will be necessary to tidy the eyebrows and eyelashes. You may need to do permanent makeup for this, or get into the habit of making "make-up" every day.

As mentioned above, ruby ​​color looks impressive only when it is saturated and shiny. In order for it to remain so as long as possible, it is necessary to maintain it with the help of special tinted shampoos and conditioners-conditioners. It is recommended to use them every time you wash your hair. In addition, it will be useful to periodically apply a mask that combines tint and healing effects, or alternate them.

To make your look complete, you need to choose the right shades of makeup when creating your makeup. Bluish black or dark brown eyebrows in combination with ruby ​​hair color most often look unnatural. Stylists advise to choose tones in burgundy... As for the eyeshadow, it is better to prefer warm shades: pink, beige, light brown, in some cases purple is allowed.

Lipstick for daytime and evening wear is different. In the daytime, it is better to use pale pink shades, and in artificial lighting, you can choose a bolder tone, but always with a red tint.
