#1 Mocha Brown Hair with Ruby Tints

Try a dimensional color and textured bob haircut. If you are considering this stunning, playful hue, keep in mind the upkeep that reds necessitate. Red is among the quickest colors to fade and the most challenging to remove! I would suggest a refresh on this shade every 6 weeks. You should also invest in salon-quality shampoo and conditioner. Try Color Minded by Bumble and Bumble. This helps maintain your color’s vibrancy and longevity between salon visits.

#2 Stunning Merlot Red Highlights for Short Dark Hair

Merlot red highlights beautifully complement short, dark hair. Brown hair adorned with red highlights can shine as a fall favorite or serve as an all-year statement.

This process is key to preserving the red by preventing over-blonding. It also allows the underlying pigments to enhance longevity.

#4 Raspberry Accents on Copper Brown Hair

Elevate the copper base by strategically placing brighter, redder-toned panels in select areas to boost the hair’s color vibrancy. These panels should be positioned underneath the hair, allowing for minimal maintenance as the hair grows out with a subtle peekaboo effect. The arrangement of these panels gives you control over the visibility of color through smart styling techniques. Curly hairstyles reveal the color more distinctly.

The hue is coupled with a layered bob to impart this fine hair texture and movement.

#6 Crimson Sangria Balayage Hair

Balayage hair doesn’t have to be merely blonde. You can opt for a vibrant shade like red for an invigorating change.

Aim to align this color as closely as possible to your natural hair for a unified look.

I think the beachy, wavy reddish brown hair is incredibly chic. The texture is natural but refined, and the waves enhance her natural color. The cut is collarbone length with a subtle amount of face-framing, long layers throughout for movement, and shorter layers in the back for volume/lift. The most remarkable thing about this cut/style/shape is its adaptability. You can make it sleek and contemporary, full and edgy, wavy and natural, or depending on your texture, you can scrunch product (like a mousse, texturizing spray, or curl enhancer) in and go. You can still pull it up and also do lovely braids. It looks very stylish on a wide variety of ladies as well!
