Fica Diva prepared a guide to help you go red for the first time, as well as tips for taking care of your hair after the transformation. Check it out!

What shades of red can you achieve at home?

Going red is easier than you might think, diva! Dark red hair tones are the easiest to achieve at home, such as marsala, burgundy, auburn and blackberry. This is because they do not require a clear bleaching background, which makes hair dye transformation much more practical. If you prefer lighter tones, such as coppery and golden red, it is also possible to bet on the look at home, but a slight discoloration of the wires may be necessary.

Is it possible to dye your hair red without bleaching it?

To become a redhead, do you need to bleach your hair or not? It all depends on the height of the chosen tone and the base of your hair! If you want to bet on coppery red in the medium shade and you have light brown hair, it is possible to lighten the strands with just the dye. On the other hand, if you have dark hair and want to bet on that tone, it's worth investing in hydrogen peroxide with a higher volume or bleaching it at home.

Understand about hydrogen peroxide: One thing you need to pay close attention to before coloring your hair is the lightening level of the peroxide. The lower the volume of the product, the lesser the discoloration and vice versa. For example, 20 volume peroxide lightens virgin hair up to two tones, while 30 volume lightens up to three tones and 40 volume peroxide opens up to five tones, which also causes more damage to the strands.

Step by step on how to dye red hair

First of all, you need to do the strand test and touch test, which indicate if the hair is healthy to be colored or if your scalp has any reaction to the product. These processes are quick and detailed in the explanatory leaflet that is in the coloring box. After gathering the dye - we recommend Cor&Ton, which dyes and moisturizes -, towel, plastic bowl, plastic and wide-toothed comb and a clock to count the minutes, it's time to finally become a redhead!

Learn how to dye your hair red for the first time:

Step 1: Put on gloves and pour the contents of the tube into a plastic container with the oxidizer. Mix with the brush until the texture is homogeneous;
Step 2: Separate the hair into sections and apply to the length and ends. As root whitening is faster, respect the distance of 2 centimeters;
Step 3: Comb the hair with a wide tooth comb and massage the locks to distribute the mixture;
Step 4: Let it act for 20 minutes and do not rinse. After the break, apply the mixture to the root and let it act for another 20 minutes;
Step 5: Rinse hair thoroughly to remove all product. No need to use shampoo;
Step 6: Apply the contents of the FixaCor treatment sachet by Cor&Ton to damp hair and massage gently. Wait for 3 minutes and then rinse. The moisturizing formula guarantees the beauty and health of the hair.

How to care for red hair after transformation

After knowing how to dye your hair yourself for the first time, the best tip to get shiny and soft red hair is to take great care! For this, you can invest in the reconstruction stage of the capillary schedule, which replaces mass and proteins in the hair. In addition to preventing breakage, the treatment gives resistance, strength and repairs the damage caused by coloring. Amazing, huh?

Diva tip: to bet on an even more personalized treatment, the tip is to invest in a line of products formulated for chemically treated hair. Our suggestion is the Post-Chemistry Powerful line, by Niely Gold, rich in argan oil and a load of proteins to rebuild and give shine and softness to chemically treated hair. You can include the collection in the rebuilding stage of your hair schedule for redheads!
