Tempted by a RED Hair Color?
How many natural redhead celebrities can you name? We mean really natural, not dyed. Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Kidman, Prince Harry, Reba McIntyre, snowboarder Shaun White (the Flying Tomato), and... uh... The Little Mermaid? Hmmmm, not that many.

Natural redheads are a rare and wonderful thing. They always look
good in their vibrant hair because they were born with the right skin
coloration to go with it.
So if you want to change to a red hair color and have it look natural,
the secret is choosing your shade with extreme care. And before you consider colring your hair red make sure your hair is in good condition. Red hair fade faster than other
colors and with damage hair, color fade faster and results in patchy and dull look.

How to Find Your Shade of Red
- Personality. Remember, red hair color is the brightest color of all. It makes a bold statement and attracts attention. If you're the shy type, red might help bring you out of your shell or it might make you feel unnatural and self-conscious. So consider your personality before making the leap.
- It's Orange! Uh oh, not what you wanted. The safest way to go red from any other color is to have it done professionally at the salon. It's just too easy to get a "code red" disaster when you do it yourself.
- Safe Solution. Consider red highlights instead of all-over color. Your stylist can apply up to 5 different shades of red to give you that natural, sun-dappled look without the "OMG, you've got red hair!" shock factor.
- Skin Tone. Warm, saturated hair colors like dark red, burgundy and auburn are great for people with warm skin tones and brown, green or hazel eyes. If your skin tone is cool with pink undertones and you have green or blue eyes, a lighter shade of red like Nicole Kidman's strawberry blond looks fantastic.
Know Your Tone
Here's an easy way to tell. Look at the veins in your wrists. If they're green, your skin tone is likely warm. If they're blue, you're cool. If you tan easily, you're a warm; if you tend to burn, your skin is cool. So now you can select a red hair color that complements your skin and really flatters you.
