Ravishing Red

RED HOT – Have Blondes and Brunettes Had Their Turn in The Spotlight?

With summer just around the corner, what better way to get yourself in the mood than to spice up your look with a change of hair colour!  Whether it’s vivid copper highlights, a mahogany tint or bright red, hair hues are hotting up the pages of our celebrity magazines and there are plenty of flame haired beauties to turn to for inspiration.

Cheryl Cole famously captured the nation’s hearts on The X Factor last year when she appeared with a stunning cherry red hair colour, causing other celebrities to jump on the bandwagon and follow suit! Amy Childs’ deep, glossy red locks are her trademark, which she keeps in tip top condition with regular deep conditioning treatments.

It’s not just celebrities who are embracing the latest hair trend, the Spring/Summer catwalks have also been awash with gorgeous red shades – rich cinnamon red shades have been spotted at Margiela, whilst Gucci showcased soft and shiny strawberry blonde.

Dying your hair red and updating your look has never been easier. There are a great selection of hair dyes available on the high street which won’t break the bank. A few of my favourites include:

John Freida Foam Colour Dye in Deep Cherry Brown – the foam formula is really easy to apply and doesn’t drip. Expect gorgeous results in twenty minutes!

Live Colour XXL Colour Intense Hypnotic Red R37 – a gorgeous crimson shade. Be prepared to turn heads!
Alternatively, if you’re not feeling brave enough to embark on your transformation at home, take a photo of your favourite shade to your hairdressers.

As with all colour treated hair, red hair requires special care. The chemicals in hair dye can cause your hair to feel slightly dry, which is why it’s important to keep it super hydrated with hair masks and lots of conditioner. The better condition your red hair, the more shiny and glossy it’ll look! I love the Radiant Red range by John Freida, which smells gorgeous and leaves your hair feeling unbelievably soft and silky.

Finally, the must have for any hair style – clip in hair extensions! ClipHair offer a wide range of red extensions – from gorgeous strawberry blonde to striking bright red! The extensions are made of the finest quality Remy human hair – the very best on the market. This means they blend perfectly with your own hair, unlike the unnatural plastic looking shine which comes with synthetic extensions. Remy hair is considered the finest hair because the cuticles are kept intact and not stripped, ensuring that the hair stays super soft, shiny, silky and tangle free throughout its lifetime.
