Just in time for autumn, red hair colors are having a resurgence! Fiery shades of red hair are exciting, while more muted red hair shades echo the falling leaves perfectly. From electric oranges to deep aubergines, the red hair color trend comes in all kinds of forms. In this article, I’ve got some inspiration coming your way with 50 gorgeous red hair color ideas for you to try. It’s high time to look through these intensely red hair colors to pick your new look!
1. Cherry Cola Balayage
If your hair is naturally dark brown, this is a fabulous way of trailing red hair colors. Chocolate roots remain healthy as a thread of vivid red runs through, to end in a sultry, true-red bottom half.
2. Dark Phoenix Curls
Guy Tang is the master of color, and this take on red hair shades really proves it. This true red is curled to perfection, for a show-stopping retro look that is one part daring and three parts glamour.
3. Natural Auburn-Red Balayage
This is a totally wearable take on red hair colors, with gorgeous balayage that is naturally a dark brown at the roots, and fades down into a warm auburn. Threads of true red hair dye add some danger and excitement, without making the style appear unnatural.
4. Princess Ariel Lob
This is one of those red hair shades that is exactly the same type of bright copper-red as the little mermaid. You can keep it wearably whimsical with lovely curls on a long bob.
5. Muted Fuchsia Balayage
Fuchsia is usually ultra bright, but taking it a little darker leads to an understated take on red hair colors that is particularly beautiful, like in this gorgeous red-dominant balayage.
6. Wave of Fire Balayage
This is a vivid copper-red that is as warm a take on red hair colors as they come, but this gorgeous wave hairstyle is made a bit more sophisticated by a thread of brown that runs through it horizontally, adding lots of dimension.
7. Burgundy & Muted Cherry Red Hair
Neutral and cool red hair shades come together in this blended look that is glamorous without being over the top. Most of the hair is dyed burgundy, but a few strands of a brighter cherry give life to the look.
8. Hot and Cold Red Hair Color
This unique color melt combines cool, magenta-tinged red hair at the roots and ends with a true copper running through the middle. This is the kind of color combination that requires an expert hand, or it can look messy, but in this case it is simply astounding.
9. Earth & Fire Balayage
This gorgeous balayage combines a few different shades of red hair dye for a really impressive effect. The dark brown roots are the earth, while the fiery flame comes from a mix of red, copper, and orange hair dyes.
10. Fire Engine Red Color Melt
Talk about drama! This intense red hair color is actually a color melt, with a few different shades of red that get lighter and warmer from roots to ends, for a sophisticated take on red curls that go perfectly with the cute bangs.
