Whether you are blonde, brown or brunette, we bet on a chocolate brownie with ice cream that on more than one occasion you have fantasized about dyeing yourself a redhead. (It makes me want to at least every two or three months). And is that ginger spice , the classic redhead, is a color that is rarely seen despite how well it can sit.
But the truth is that it does not surprise us since many of us have spent years dragging the false belief that it is a very difficult tone to achieve. It may have been in the past but that, luckily, has changed. Friends, we have the definitive keys to move to the red side of life easily and without compromising the health of your hair. This is what you need to know before taking the plunge.
The keys to dyeing yourself red or ginger spice once and for all
- Will it suit me? It is true that the classic version of red hair, ginger spice , especially favors lighter skin but you don't have to give it up if your skin is brown. In fact, adding some highlights of this tone to your hair can have an immediate rejuvenating effect since it provides an extra luminosity that other tones do not give you.
- Do not dye, do highlights . The first lesson you must learn is that you do not have to resort to a single color dye, it is best to opt for very very fine highlights and in several different shades. The highlights type are the most indicated. In this way it is possible to give depth and movement at the same time that the effect will be much more natural.
- Roots in the air. We will not tell you anything new if we tell you that the best (and easiest to maintain) is to leave the roots natural, especially if you are brown and do not need or do not want to cover gray hair. The result will be much more natural and it will be enough to apply reddish highlights from medium to ends, focusing on the strands that are closest to the face.
- Suitable even for brunettes . There is no reason to give up ginger spice even if you have dark hair color. Ask your stylist for advice and start by lightening your base to a medium brown to apply reddish highlights on top.
- Protect your new color. Red hair is one of the colors that fades more easily with washing, so it is advisable to choose a care line (shampoo, conditioner and mask) focused on its protection.
