Hair with red highlights is a great alternative for those who want to get away from the classic blonde when it comes to transforming their locks. After all, there is no rule to vary the color of the strands and change the look with lights or highlights, right? Black hair with red highlights, for example, can be a look with little contrast and very harmonious. The red highlights, in turn, can be adopted by those with different hair tones, guaranteeing a modern and beautiful look.

Do you want to know how to adopt red highlights in different colors and techniques and in any type of hair? Check out these tips that Fica Diva separated to help you choose the best option and teach you how to take care of the threads to keep the beautiful color longer.

Red highlights on black or brown hair: color is ideal for dark strands

The red lights and highlights look great on locks of different colors, but you can't deny that they gain more prominence in dark strands. Whether on brown or black hair, coloring in shades of red enhances and guarantees a change of look that can be subtle or more striking, depending on the color tone you choose. In addition to these base colors, you can also achieve red hair with highlights on a red background, ensuring the effect of tone on tone illuminated.

Red highlights and lights: how to choose the best color to light up the strands?

If you want to bet on hair with red lights to vary the look a little, the first step is to choose the ideal shade for your strands. After all, shades of red can be quite varied. Burgundy, cherry red, marsala and copper red are some of the most popular options when it comes to hair highlights.

Burgundy is a very dark red tone, close to wine, which leaves the strands with a very sophisticated warm color. It is a great choice for those who want to adopt the look of black hair with red highlights, as it will not contrast too much with the tone and guarantee a very harmonious result. Burgundy (or burgundy) can also serve as a base for red strands that gain highlights and streaks in other shades of red.

Cherry red, in turn, is a more striking version, closer to fantasy colors, perfect for those who prefer very vibrant colors. It can be used on red highlights in any base color. Because it is wide open, it may need bleaching on black and dark brown hair.

If your goal is to achieve a result that shows up on dark strands but remains smooth, coppery red is the right version — especially for brown hair — and has the advantage of being suitable for all skin tones. The coppery red is also the ideal option for those who want to start making red highlights slowly, without being too daring (it can even be mixed with the coppery brown for a look with dimension).

Marsala red, in addition to being very versatile, is the darkest option and has purple reflections that make the look super modern. He's also a great option for black hair with red streaks.

Red highlights in the hair are the option for a classic look

Those who prefer a traditional look can bet on the lights that start at the root of the hair as the technique that will guarantee the red highlights of the look. This option guarantees a more homogeneous result, since the colored strands are well blended with the natural color of the hair. The red lights can be done with just one shade of color or with more than one shade, to create an effect of dimension in the final result. In addition, you can also choose between two different techniques: babylights, which color very thin strands from the root, and balayage, which takes more marked sections of hair for the color change. It all depends on your style and taste.

Ombré hair: more marked version of red highlights is also an option

For those who have a little more courage and want a more striking result than the highlights, red ombré hair is one of the best options for techniques to achieve hair with red highlights. It is a gradient that starts at about eye level and lightens until it reaches the ends of the hair. This technique is perfect for those who don't want to worry about retouching so often, as it doesn't change the natural color of the locks close to the root. That is: as the hair grows, the effect will only get lower, without looking like it needs to be reinforced. Even so, care for the colored ends of the hair is very necessary for them to remain healthy.

The red Californian is ideal for those who want to color only the ends of the hair.

Did you think that Californian locks can only be done with blonde coloring? It's been a while since, diva! The technique of coloring just the tips of the strands was inspired by the sunburned look of Californian surfers' strands, yes, but you can reproduce it with any color: even betting on Californian red. The difference between this technique and ombré hair is that they don't have the smooth gradient transition between the natural color and the coloring and start a little lower, right at the ends of the hair.

Short hair with red highlights looks super charming

Anyone who thinks that only the owners of long locks can bet on red locks is wrong. Short strands are also very charming with this type of coloring. After all, hair with red highlights is very stylish, whatever its length. Just like blonde locks, red ones can also be done in all types of strands - whether short or long and straight, wavy, curly or curly. The only difference is the adaptation of the techniques that color the ends: the ombré hair, in these cases, starts about five fingers below the root and the Californian ones are done in three or four fingers counted from the ends of the strands.

Hair care for red streaks before and after coloring

Before betting on hair transformation with one of the red highlights techniques that we indicated above, you need to know that colored hair requires some basic care. They must start even before the transformation, as the strands need to be healthy for a good result to be guaranteed. Therefore, bet on a deep hydration in the days before the transformation, to end the dryness and protect the hair from chemicals.

When changing, it's important to start with a strand test, which will confirm that the strands are strong enough to receive the new color. After the transformation, it is necessary to invest in a capillary schedule, combining reconstruction, nutrition and hydration according to the needs of your hair. To prevent the color from fading too quickly, it is also worth reducing the frequency of using heat tools (and always using a thermal protector when necessary) and not washing your hair with hot water.
