In general, the darker your skin is, the darker shade of red you should go for. If you have a darker skin tone, a darker red, such as auburn, might look better on you. Match the shade of red to your skin's undertone. Much like skin, red hair has both warm or cool undertones. If red tends to look awful on you, you might be looking at the wrong shade of red. Instead, determine your skin undertone, then choose a shade of red that matches.
For example: [2] X Research source If you have cool undertones, choose a cool red with purple tints to it. Burgundy is a great example. If you have warm undertones, try a warm red with yellow tints to it.
Copper is a good example. Test the color against your skin. Red hair can look stark against fair skin, especially if you are going dark red. Find something that is the same color that you want to dye your hair, such as a piece of cloth from the fabric store or a wig from a wig shop.
Drape the cloth over your head or put the wig on , and decide whether or not you are happy with the look. Many wig and costumes shops will allow you to try wigs on, but you will have to purchase a wig cap first. Don't worry about how the style of the wig looks on you — just focus on how the color looks against your skin tone.
An alternative to this is to use an image editing program, such as Photoshop, or use a makeover program. Part 2. Purchase a red hair dye.
You can use an at-home dye kit, or your can buy the dye and developer separately from a hair salon or beauty supply store. If you are buying the dye and developer separately, you will also need to purchase a bottle of color-safe conditioner, plastic dyeing gloves, a plastic bowl to mix the dye in, and a tinting brush.
You don't need a high developer for this. A 10 volume developer will work the best. Get brown dye if you want to dye pale blonde hair dark red. This is very important. If you are starting with platinum-blonde hair, regular dye won't be dark enough to cover it up; it will end up pink!
You will need to dye your hair brown first. Avoid dark-brown dye, or the red won't show up. You will need to do the entire dyeing process twice: once for the brown dye and once for the red dye. Mix your dye and developer using a 1-to-1 ratio. Pour enough 10 volume developer into a non-metal bowl to saturate your hair. Add an equal amount of dye into the developer, then stir it with a non-metal spoon until no streaks or swirls remain.
Don't touch the red dye yet. If you are using a dye kit, prepare the dye according to the instructions that came with it. Add a protein filler if you bleached your hair blonde. While not necessary, this will help even out the color more. It will also help seal the color in. For best results, choose a red-based protein filler, and use the amount recommended on the bottle. In most cases, this will be half a bottle.
You can buy it at a salon or beauty store. If you are dyeing your hair brown first and then red, you only need to add the protein filler to the brown dye. Bleach your hair instead if it is dark and you want to go lighter. Blonde hair can range from very pale, platinum-blonde to very dark, dirty blond. The lighter color you start out with, the easier it will be for you to get the color that's on the box. If you have very dark blonde hair that borders on light brown, however, you may need to bleach it first.
After all, hair dye is translucent, so it only adds to what color is originally there. The dark hair dye will cover it up.
If you have dark blonde hair and want to go pale, strawberry blond, then you need to bleach your hair first, otherwise the lighter color won't show up. Not sure which type of blonde to choose?
Check out our guide on picking the best blonde for your skin tone. If you were originally a natural blonde, your blonde may take a while to turn brassy. Redheads have often a more difficult time keeping blonde hair from going brassy.
There are many things you can do to stop blonde from going brassy, but eventually it will happen. I would add a heat protectant spray if you heat style your hair, and a hair oil to keep frizz at bay. But it really depends on your hair type and styling preferences. Violet, purple or silver shampoo should be used at least once a week to cancel out brassy tones and keep your blonde bright.
Do not overuse it, though, or your hair may end up with a strange violet tinge. On the days when you are not using purple shampoo, a nourishing sulphate free shampoo will help your blonde last.
Your hair will be feeling sensitive and lacking in protein, so be kind to it. Going from red to blonde hair at home can be challenging the first time, so if you are unsure about how to go from red to blonde consult a professional. If your hair is fine, very damaged or sensitive, they may suggest other options such as highlights or balayage. Skip to content.

The color is painted on some sections and feathered into others to make sure that when my roots come in it looks seamless as it grows out. We made our way to the sink so he could apply Redken Shades EQ clear gloss to fill the lifted hair. Since my hair had grown out, I needed the toner to make sure that we canceled out the brassiness of my red hair.
Then Rez applied a neutralizing gloss and Shades EQ to finish the whole thing. For the root gloss, Rez used a color that is just a little lighter than my natural hue to conceal the highlight at the top. This evened out all the hair and ensured that both my color and tone were dynamic. Twelve hours later, I was the blonde of my dreams.
The whole team was exhausted, but pleasantly shocked by the results. I returned the following morning for the finishing touch: a haircut. After a double-process treatment, your ends have taken a lot of abuse, so you'll want to take off at least an inch or two to freshen your strands.

For styling, he applied Virtue Split End Mender and the brand's 6-in-1 styler and began by round brushing my hair. Think of it like squeegeeing out the water.

It also won't hold a curl and doesn't stay straightened for very long. What would you suggest? Katelynn dyes her naturally brunette hair dark red. A: Katelynn, thank you for sending along your request for a consultation. Your skin is actually quite stunning for blonde hair. Since you have a yellow-pink skin tone, you have to stay far away from anything yellow. I recommend going to a light golden blonde.
But I think you should have two tones in your hair, not just one. Your base colour needs to stop being red, and you should go to a warm honey, towards the gold side.
