The auburn hair is one of the favorites of Spanish women. As it is a dark red, the nuance is easier to achieve and suits all skin tones. In addition, it is perfect for those who want to have red hair without radicalizing it with lighter and more vibrant tones, such as cherry red hair or coppery red hair.

You can already understand why this color is so popular, right, diva? If you are thinking about betting on auburn hair, come and check out tips on how to achieve the color and get inspired with the photos in the gallery!

Shades of auburn hair: know which shades to bet on to change the look

Did you know that there isn't just one shade of auburn hair? Divas who want to achieve a more intense dark red can opt for the traditional auburn hair color, which has no reflections. As for the divas who want a little luminosity in the look, they have the coppery cashew as an option.

In general, auburn hair - copper or not - suits all skin tones, but because it is a dark red hair tone, it can create a high contrast with very light skin tones. The tip to not be in doubt and find out if the different shades of auburn will suit you is to take the virtual test on the Teste Sua Cor platform. There you will find the Acaju 6.5 and Acaju Acobreado 6.54 dyes by Cor&Ton and you can see how they will behave on your locks in real time.

Is it possible to achieve the auburn nuance without discoloration in natural hair

When it comes to red hair, discoloration is one of the first things that crosses your mind, isn't it, diva? But this is not the case with auburn hair: in addition to being a dark red, the color mixes brownish and reddish pigments, so it can easily be achieved without discoloration on natural brown hair, which is composed of these same pigments.

On the other hand, divas who have locks with a history of coloring - especially if it's in dark tones like brown or black - will need to bleach the strands to achieve the auburn hair evenly and without streaks. If this is your case, in addition to carefully following all the steps and care to safely bleach your hair at home, it is important to ensure that the strands are healthy and strong enough to undergo the process. So keep hydration up to date and be sure to do the strand test.

Can I go from light red to auburn hair? Learn how to darken the wires

Darkening the hair is relatively easier than lightening it, even more so when dealing with different shades of the same shade. Whoever has light red hair and wants to bet on a more closed tone like auburn can make the transformation without discoloring it. But it is important to bear in mind that the mixture of reddish, brownish and orange pigments that some shades of red have can provide a result that is more intense or darker than expected. Therefore, it may be interesting to wait for the threads to fade before applying the auburn dye.

Permanent ink or toner? Know which one to use to achieve auburn hair

Speaking of dye, it's important to choose carefully the type of color you're going to use to dye your hair, as toners and permanent dyes provide different results.

- Permanent auburn ink: ideal for those who want a lasting and more intense result, this type of dye has ammonia in the composition to open the hair cuticles and help fix the pigment in the hair fiber. Because of this, it is not recommended for divas whose hair is chemically treated with straightening or relaxation.

- Mahogany Toner: perfect for those who want to keep their auburn hair color for a shorter period of time, the toner does not contain ammonia and acts only on the surface of the hair strands. Therefore, it is indicated both for those with virgin hair and for those who do straightening and relaxation.

Whichever you choose, it is essential to respect the instructions on the dye box and follow all the steps to dye your hair at home correctly. Another tip is to keep the locks healthy with hydration, nutrition and reconstruction regularly before and after the transformation. This way, you can achieve auburn hair while preserving the health of the strands and still keeping the color impeccable for longer.
