When you hear “red highlights,” you might envision a striking fire engine red! But hold on until you check out the varieties of red highlights below. They can be vivid and bright, fiery copper, wine-hued like burgundy, or gentle shades of strawberry blonde highlights. Your colorist can distribute red highlights throughout your hair or skillfully enhance your haircut and face shape with red balayage, cherry red babylights, or piecey highlights. The options for red color highlights are limitless!
While some individuals might favor a very warm-toned red hair color, others might find more appeal in a red with a pink or purple undertone. Shades such as a red-violet or a red-brown are richer in tone, making them wonderful choices if you desire a touch of red in your hair without going overboard!
