@stellar.mane
Paint your hair red and blonde for this fun, edgy but conservative look at the same time. These crimson red and dirty blonde highlights were created by stylist Samantha Luna of Turlock, CA.
“Such rich red highlights make the style very versatile,” says Luna. “I also love creating loose waves, as it really shows the contrast between the two colors.”
Fire Engine Red with Blonde Highlights
@hairbyagomez
“It’s an edgy hot red hair with highlights of a very soft blonde hue. The cutest thing about this look is the two tones of color to make something completely different from the ordinary,” describes cosmetologist Adriana Gomez of Bakersfield, CA.
“Coldwater and dry shampoo are going to be your best friend,” says Gomez. “I recommend Amika dry shampoo and Redken color extend magnetics. Washing your hair with cold water really helps to keep the color vibrant as long as possible.”
Blonde to Red Reverse Ombre
@msnataliejean
This blonde to red hair is a lot like a dip dye or reverse ombré. It was created by stylist Natalie Jean of Huntington Beach, CA.
“Semi-permanent colors like this wash out very fast, or between 4-6 weeks,” says Jean. “Take into consideration that you need to not wash your hair every day while having semi vivid colors.”
She adds, “this color is for women wanting to try to add some pops of color throughout their existing color. They look best on blondes because not all vivids show up on levels 6 and darker without lightening the hair.”
Short Blonde Hair with Red Highlights
@boldsandblended
This style is a slight A-line bob with layers and lots of texture cut into it plus pops of red and blonde hair highlights. It was cut and colored by stylist Kelly Ries of Ellicott City, MD.
“It’s very low-maintenance, especially if you have a natural wave in your hair,” says Ries. “If your hair is very straight naturally, it only takes a few minutes to throw in some loose, messy curls just to add a little movement and texture.”
Even though the color has a lot of contrast, it’s still a very natural color.
Shoulder-Length Blonde Hair with Red Streaks
@aroqhd
This blonde hair with red streaks was created by hairstylist and color specialist Ashlea Roquemore of Odessa, TX.
“It’s colorful and vibrant but can also be mature and office friendly,” she notes. “I don’t often see clients who want these types of bright rooted colors so it’s definitely unique.”
Roquemore says it’s important to use salon quality color care and be mindful when showering. “While these colors are permanent, they should not be shampooed in hot water. Tepid water temperature is preferred with a cool rinse.”
Two-Tone Blonde and Red Hair
@verity_alterego
Here’s a two-tone blonde and red hair color created by hair artist Verity Clarke of Essex, UK.
“It doesn’t have lots of complicated sectioning and blends, but the precision of the two colors that split straight down the middle definitely stands out,” notes Clarke.
Clarke continues, “this look is easiest to create on natural virgin hair or hair that is already blonde. Trying to get that lovely even, clean blonde on hair that is already red or colored with a dark color would be a challenge. It may take several appointments to achieve whilst maintaining the condition of the hair.”
“Reds do fade quickly, so the color would need regular top-ups (every 6 weeks or so),” she adds. “A professional color-hold shampoo and conditioner will help maintain the color. Washing in cool water helps prevent both color fade and the colors bleeding together.”
Two-Tone Highlights on Brown Hair
@salonfusionohio
This is a high-fashion color lit up with a pop of light blonde, cherry, copper, auburn hair accents, and red highlights framing the top and sides of the hairstyle which helps to enhance the haircut and style. It was created by salon owner and stylist Becky Calderone of Painesville, OH.
Calderone reminds us to invest in professional products from the salon to help support the hair color and to keep the integrity of the hair. “This is a hi-lift blonde and a creative hair color. Remember when trying out pop hair colors to be committed,” she adds.
This look has a few long substile layers that blend beautifully into the woman’s long hair making it easier to grow out and to accent the hair color nicely.
Natural Red Hair
@sceniahairstylist
“I love this natural-looking red hair because it’s romantic that meets trendy,” says master stylist Scenia Carpenter of Tallahassee, FL.
She notes, “it has soft but vibrant hints of copper blonde, soft texture with the cut and style, but with an asymmetrical fringe. The soft waves and fun bangs really help bring out all the shades in this color.”
The copper highlights work for ladies with a lighter skin tone. Nevertheless, Carpenter still thinks that this whole hair idea is best for all face shapes, fine to medium texture, and someone who’s not afraid of color and cut maintenance to preserve the look.
