We have collected 30 red ideas that can help you choose the best version of this warm shade to complement your complexion and accommodate your preferences.

1. Delicate Ginger Brown Blend. Copper color hair doesn’t need to be noisy which is beautifully proved by this soft shade of red with a touch of strawberry.

2. Auburn Locks with Depth. This amazingly deep shade perfectly combines chocolate brown and dark auburn to deliver a long-lasting style where the brown will stay in place as the red washes out.

3. Creamy Caramel with Strawberry Highlights. Masterfully done money pieces coupled with light streaks throughout thelong hair turn this mane into pure admiration.

4. Metallic Ginger for Beginners. Choosing a softer shade of ginger is another smart decision for newcomers to the world of red locks. However, soft doesn’t mean lackluster, and a bit of metallic will elevate the look.

5. Soft Pearly Strawberry Waves. Red can come in the gentlest hues and blend well with rosy tones to create dreamy hair like these peachy locks.

6. Darker Side of Auburn Brown. Here is a good case in point for a brunette wishing to incorporate red: let your rich auburn pop against a cooler tone of dark brown.

7. Flaming Highlights on Brown Base. The next picture shows that red goes well even with cooler shades of brown, never failing to boost dimension when packed in highlights.

8. Shiny Auburn Waves with a Boost of Red. This full-color version of flaming red accommodates almost scarlet hues to wow us with shine and depth.

9. Seamless Transition for Brunettes. Mixing reddish and yellowish hues while going from dark to light is a great idea if you want to balance pink or golden undertones in your complexion.

10. Deep Brown with Glowing Red. This style illuminates the face with splashes of red on the brown base, while the repetition of the bright shade throughout the perimeter accentuates its depth.

11. Apricot Highlights on Warm Brown Waves. Do you know that lighter shades work better for reflecting light? Well, check these gorgeous highlights and how they bring the shine out of the dark brown locks.

12. Glazed Chocolate and Tangerine Waves. The intense tangerine stripes worked into this chestnut base set the whole look on fire and built this stunning dimension complemented with show-stopping gloss.

13. Red Balayage with Rosewood Feel. Shine and dimension can be gained with the subtlest play of shades, as in the case of this seamless balayage happily mixing and matching auburn and burgundy hues.

14. Golden Ginger Mane with Layers. While ginger can look flat on straight locks since this shade lacks depth, adding a bit of metallic to an all-over formula will land a much richer color.

15. Chestnut and Orange with Shine. This shiny lob may even seem one color at first sight, yet it is actually spiced up with the finest insertions of a lighter shade to delicately spotlight the face and enhance the sparkle in chestnut strands.

16. Red Orange with Subtle Money Piece. This vivid carroty scheme goes beyond common adoptions, and it will be a great pick for brave fair-skinned girls with pink undertones in their complexion.

17. Vivid Burnt Orange Bob. Although this fierce hue of orange is really high-maintenance, daring girls with fair skin shouldn’t miss a chance to slay it.

18. No-Frills Golden Chestnut. If you happen to have an olive or tan complexion, darker shades of red, such as this elegant chestnut brown hue, will pick up your undertones without feeling too warm.

19. Fierce Red Hair with Highlights. The rich mahogany brown base creates a perfect starting point for the implantation of fiery red streaks gathering steam toward the ends while leaving plenty of depth at the roots.

20. Red Brick Waves with Ginger Ribbons. These locks look truly amazing with the contrasting flows of light and dark reds illuminating the face.

21. Red with Rosewood Bottom. If you are not sure about your skin undertones, go for this vibrant scheme since it has the right portion of red and pink to strike a balance between warm and cool.

22. Deep and Warm Reddish Brown. This girl seems to know how to choose a red hair dye to complement golden hues in her complexion and make the skin really glow.

23. Shadow Roots with Hot Locks. Who said that shadow roots are for blondes exclusively? Not only do they create depth for bright ginger locks but also save you from frequent touch-ups while your length is growing out.

24. Glowing Red for Chocolate Base. The yummy chocolate brown base of this style melts gracefully into the light red shade, which remains dimensional thanks to the darker streaks popping out here and there.

25. Pecan Red with Dusty Rose. This lively blend of red hues is a real find for pale complexions since the brighter shades create a flattering contrast against the fair skin, while the added dusty rose help to pull out the natural rosiness.

26. Perfect Ginger Chocolate for Fall. The mulled wine tones of this color scheme will definitely warm up your look in cold seasons, and the well-blended strips of the spicy balayage will add zest to the style.

27. Light Brown and Golden Strawberry. Red is not for brunettes only, and this medium blonde base brightened up with soft red hues is a great (and more natural) alternative to strawberry blonde.

28. Shiny Rust with Root Smudge. Here, an extremely glossy rusty red is paired with a neutral brown applied to the roots to deliver a bright yet low-maintenance style with less visible demarcation as the length grows out and the brightness fades.

29. Bright Coral and Rosewood. This perfection has subtle light golden and deeper red hues that make the entire scheme dimensional and dynamic with no signs of foils.

30. Contrasting Red and Blonde Combo. This eye-catching style incorporates wide bands of golden blonde in the front to frame the face handsomely and add interest to the look.

Now we know that red comes in many incarnations, varying in intensity, ranging from light to dark, and blending with a bunch of other shades. It can be tricky to explain your desired look to a hairdresser, so make sure to take one of our inspirations with you.
