The red highlights in the hair have gained more and more space among the color effect options for those who want to vary the look a little, but prefer not to bet on the overall color. With varied versions, which please everyone from those who want a more discreet transformation to those who don't mind changing a lot, they can be made in any type and length of yarn. When it comes to color, those who already have red hair can use these locks to add depth and change the look smoothly, like a gradient, but the red locks in brown and black hair also look amazing. Check out, below, three style options that look good on all hair types!

Red ombré hair is a super democratic option

Ombré hair is an old acquaintance of those who want to change their look without too much work precisely because of the advantage of starting a few fingers below the root, at the height of the ears or eyes, depending on the length of the strands. In other words: hair grows and monthly touch-ups are not necessary. Therefore, among the options for red hair for brunettes, who have naturally dark strands, the ombré ends up being quite successful. The untouched root can still add naturalness to the look.

To ensure a more harmonious result, it's good that you choose a red, coppery or orange tone that fits well in the gradient with your root color — whatever it may be. Red highlights on black or brown hair look amazing if done in deep red tones like burgundy or even marsala. Orange reds can work best on blonde hair, and those who are natural redheads can rock it with coppery ombré hair.

Bet on Californian red highlights for a bolder look

Like ombré hair, Californian locks also negate the need for frequent root retouching. They are the most suitable option for hair with red highlights for those whose length ranges from medium to long, because they need to start at least from the chin line.

Californian women shouldn't necessarily have the smooth color transition of ombré hair, but that doesn't stop you from choosing colors that are in the same palette as your natural strands for a more harmonious look. Those who are more daring can bet on the Californian ones in cherry red, which add an incredible touch to any look.

Diva Tip: if you want to rock around wearing black hair with red highlights, think carefully about the Californian ones because the result looks amazing!

As this coloring effect is focused on the ends of the strands, it is important that you keep in mind that you need to take care of the health of your hair before changing the color so that the strands do not break – especially if there is a need for discoloration.

Red lights can renew the look as a whole

Very thin and starting from the root, the red lights have the power to completely transform your look, even if it is delicate. To ensure that the strands of colored hair are really smooth, the ideal is to enlist the help of a hairdresser for this transformation.

In this case, the effect is even more interesting if you choose a coloring tone that blends with the base color: this way, the reflections will appear more in accordance with the light of the environment where you are. Those who are not used to the effect of hair with red highlights can stay a little while with the blonde highlights, which are more common and can be delicate before betting on the change to red.
