4Raspberry Hair

This hair color is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! It is neither too pink nor too red, but just the perfect color in between. Love!

5Fiery Natural Hair

As stated earlier, red suits every skin tone across the board. Look at this gorgeous fire-colored African-American hair and she is rocking it! You go, girl!

6Auburn Red Balayage with Highlights

Auburn is a shade of red that is immensely popular because it is a safe color. It is not too overpowering, and if combined with nice highlights, you get a quite flattering caramel look. For those who want a more subtle look, this might be a good choice.

This is such sweet sweet hair that you almost want to roll in it. The burgundy color is really flattering to her skin tone, and we love that she matched her lipstick to it as well. Ten stars!

9Mahogany Blonde Balayage

This is an almost earthy combination of mahogany and blonde. We love the transition between the two colors and would bet that this will look really wonderful on warm skin tones too.

Copper hair is quite underrated and it is quite sad. Copper is such a wonderful color and can greatly improve anyone’s look when done right. In this case, it’s a richer darker copper that will beautifully suit those with warm skin tones.

We hope you’ve found your favorite red balayage color on this list! You might already be raring to dye your hair after seeing all those awesome ideas. But before you dye your hair, there are a few things you have to take into consideration prior to jumping into the wonderful world of Balayage hair. One of them is to take into consideration the health of your hair. If you have dry and brittle ends, it might be wise to ask for a trim prior to having your hair colored so that you are sure to have evenly colored hair. A clarifying shampoo would also be necessary BEFORE going to your colorist to ensure that your hair is free from whatever build-up it has accumulated over time. Lastly, always bring a photo of the type of hair color that you want because it would make it easier for your colorist to determine which products to use.

Now that you have armed yourself with that information, you should learn how to take care of your newly-dyed hair. Red hair is harder to maintain than other colors because it fades quite fast. You have to be ready to take the necessary measure in order to protect your mane. One of them is to wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair. This ensures that the color molecules have penetrated your hair deeply before you wash them out. And when you do wash your hair, make sure to use cool water instead of hot, and to use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. And speaking of shampoo and conditioner, you will now have to switch to shampoo and conditioner for colored hair so that you don’t unnecessarily strip your hair of its new color.

There are a lot more, but these are just the basics. This might sound overwhelming, but it really is very simple.  Once you get used to it, you won’t even mind it anymore!
