Red-brown hair color: shades, dye selection and care

Brown with redhead is always popular with girls who love to stand out from the crowd, but not be vulgar. This shade is chosen by those who do not want to look too catchy, because the juicy redhead in this version is balanced and muted by the noble brown. There are a lot of variations in shades in this color scheme. This mysterious palette is the golden mean between blondes and brunettes. Choosing your shade correctly is very important. Red pigment looks great with chocolate, bronze, copper. If you decide to experiment with looks and update your image, this article is for you.

The reddish brown color is incredibly noble and stylish. Natural redness is the result of a mutation. Red phaeomelanin becomes dominant in the hair structure, changing the pigmentation in the structure. That's why natural red hair is a rare occurrence... However, this does not make this color less desirable for girls and women of all ages. Many people want to look bright, catchy, spectacular. The red tint of curls always attracts attention and makes a person stand out from the crowd.

Red shades do not go out of fashion, especially the classic range, which includes the aristocratic reddish-brown. However, this palette is not suitable for all types. As for status and age, reddish brown is almost always appropriate. But the color type needs to be assessed fairly impartially.There are types that redheads, even in small quantities, will completely kill, give a sickly or unnatural look. This is a very tricky palette, so you need to handle it as carefully as possible.

The reddish brown shade belongs to two palettes at the same time: red and brown. All shades of both palettes are perfectly combined with each other. The gamut itself is conventionally divided into lighter and darker ones. Classification is not very important from the point of view of theory, but when choosing a staining method, it plays an important role. Ryzhina and chestnut will perfectly fit even on dark strands, but more amber undertones will require lightening if the original color of the curls is not blond.

This palette includes many varieties:

• red chestnut - deep, dark, aristocratic;

• chocolate with redhead - very effective and stylish;

• bronze - auburn with a little brown;

• with redness - very bright and juicy, demanding on the type of skin;

• dark copper - almost completely brown, with some gold;

• brown with ginger - colder among the whole range, looks natural;

• terracotta - chestnut with a slight reddishness, great for all types.

The reddish brown color is quite unusual and effective, at the same time demanding and whimsical. Even if you really want brightness, soberly assess your color type, otherwise you will be disappointed with the result. Experimenting is a great solution, but getting the right tone is still necessary to be successful. So, we determine the color types and find out which shades of redhead are suitable for.

These are shades of blond: peach, gold, copper. Very romantic and gentle, which are suitable for owners of fair skin and blue eyes. But this color type will have to be abandoned from bright shades of redhead. Anything that creates a contrast with the color type - kills him. Therefore, your choice is ginger, light copper, caramel with redhead, peach.

Here, the brown range is represented by various combinations with red variations: from orange to fire. This is the most daring, eye-catching palette. Carrots, bright copper are not suitable for girls who naturally have blond hair and pale skin. Not the best tandem will turn out with light shades of the eyes: blue and gray. But if your eyes are dark or bright green, this is your option. Autumn and spring color types can safely consider bright shades of reddish brown.

Brown pigment predominates here, while reddishness plays a secondary role. Paints of a similar color range are very often used by brunettes and brown-haired women to give the strands a delightful lively shimmer. These tones make the image more expressive, brighter (without loudness). In this range, copper, golden, red and brown are especially often used.

There are times when you shouldn't experiment with the reddish-brown palette in all variations.

• Gray hair. If the percentage of such hair is large, the redhead can turn fiery-carrot and turn you into a clown, especially since the capriciousness of the pigment does not guarantee its durability.

• Age-related changes. Wrinkles, folds on the face will become even more noticeable if you color the strands in red tones.In general, the brighter the color, the more it accentuates the blemishes on the face.

• Freckles. If you are trying your best to hide pigmentation of any kind, ditch the reddish and brown: they will flaunt everything that you are trying to hide.

• Damaged strands. Bright tones should not be used when coloring thinned, dry, lifeless curls. They will lose their appearance very soon, and you will need to paint them more often. And during this period of time, it is better to refrain from aggressive procedures.

If you have dyed the strands before, then it is better to try paint from the line of a trusted manufacturer. In any case, test for possible allergic reactions first. To do this, apply the composition to the crook of the elbow and leave it on for a while. If the place turns red, swollen, irritation, itching appears - you need to abandon this remedy and choose another.

If you decide to use natural type dyes, be prepared for an original result. It is best to try the composition on a small curl and only then start coloring all the strands. Basma and henna are the leaders among natural dyes. Natural coloring has its own characteristics:

• you cannot dye bleached hair with natural means - the result is too unpredictable;

• after applying the mixture, wrap the strands with foil and wrap them with a towel or scarf;

When self-staining with finished paint, colorists advise:

• it is best to dye strands that are not too clean, for example, washed the day before the event;

• the redhead is quickly washed off - you will need to renew it more often or wash your hair with special tint shampoos;

• be sure to prepare everything you need before the procedure, cover the floor and clothes;

• you will need not only gloves, but also a hat.

There are a number of rules, the observance of which will allow you to enjoy an even and beautiful shade of curls:

• it is better to try an unusual color in an unstable version;

• dark strands need to be lightened if the desired shade is quite light;
