1. Seamlessly Blended Auburn and Strawberry. From deep red to strawberry blonde, this artful balayage showcases a totally smooth transition of soft red shades.

2. Flaming Locks with Orange Strips. Why limit yourself to one red shade when you can make your strands glow with an amazing striped balayage?

3. Copper Locks with Golden Highlights. This color scheme brings together a whole bunch of red and blonde shades to end up in a fully personalized look.

4. Rich and Warm Lob. It’s amazing how seamlessly this color job flows from the deep auburn at the roots to the fierce copper at the ends.

5. Deep Red with Long Layers. Although layering takes away a good portion of volume here, the mane doesn’t feel sparse thanks to the deep color.

6. Chocolate Base with Tangerine Streaks. Cherry red chimes well with vivid copper, producing a bold and dimensional hair color, which will suit both cool and warm skin tones.

7. Copper Blonde with Auburn Roots. This waterfall of locks has a red-to-blonde ombre framed with blonde ribbons to deliver an otherworldly look.

8. Copper Bob with Burgundy Lowlights. Here, the rich burgundy shade gives depth and saturation to the base, while the light pieces create glare and movement.

9. Sophisticated Cinnamon Red. Solid-colored manes can look dimensional too, provided you’ve selected a saturated shade, such as this warm red with a brown undertone.

10. High-Contrast Mix. These red locks with blonde front pieces are sure to steal the show with the striking choice of contrasting shades.

11. Natural Look with Money Piece. This is a perfect look for a beach vacation, with summer vibes breaking through both the sun-kissed effect and breezy waves.

12. Juicy Orange-y Red. That’s what we call masterful contouring — just a hint of lighter shades builds a beautiful frame around the face.

13. Blazing Brown for Fall. If you feel that your current brown lacks spice, you need to glaze it with red and add a dash of cayenne copper.

14. Chestnut Brown with Orange Face Framing. If you are a brunette looking for a way to brighten your look, blonde is not your only and best option.

15. Cinnamon Lob with a Twist. Here is a creative way to turn a natural yet a bit flat medium auburn shade into a crisp iced look.

16. Bright Copper Color Melt. This fabulous balayage really sets the tresses on fire, with the flames dancing from the rich roots to the lightened ends.

17. Sophisticated Caramel with Bronze Tint. If you are after a cool-toned iteration of red, look no further than this dainty muted blend.

18. Auburn Hair with Metallic Sheen. This version of ginger provides a happy middle ground for girls with different complexions since its warm tone balances out the coolness of the metallic sheen.

19. Vivid Copper and Blonde Combo. The full-blast red on the crown creates a cool contrast to the blonde underlayer, which then blends smoothly with highlights at the ends.

20. Foxy Red Color Scheme. Don’t you want to borrow a bit of cunning from a little vixen? Well, you can start morphing into a fox by trying on its colors.

21. Bright Copper Hair with Face-Framing Highlights. You can choose a red hair dye for your all-over coloring and then give it some zest by adding a lighter band around the face.

22. Rosewood and Light Copper. Red doesn’t need to be eye-popping all the time, and you can opt for an almost pastel shade like this to arrive at a more exquisite look.

23. Burnt Umber to Coral Transition. A darker shade applied to the roots will give you a wonderful depth that can be further balanced with near-the-face highlights.

24. Dreamy Light Caramel. This is yet another beautiful combination of blonde and red, with its pink tints being extremely flattering to fair complexions.

25. Orangey Hair Color on Black Girls. We do like the piquant look of red locks on dark skin, especially when the shade is bold and yummy.

26. Red with Golden Midshaft. This version feels totally native to the gal, having only barely visible splashes of red for extra movement and shine.

27. Whole Spectrum Red. Think of rocking fancifully dyed locks? Get inspired by these fun chunks of gold, red, and burgundy stuffed into one head-turning style!

28. Bronde Hair with Spice. Here is a cool alternative to dark hair — get it tightly highlighted from top to bottom for a shimmering feel like this.

29. Mix of Reds with Strawberry Bangs. This textured style goes through all stages of red, from dark auburn on the bottom to the sweetest strawberry blonde in the front.

30. Creamy Copper Balayage. Generously infused with pale highlights, these red tresses gain softness, still staying on the brighter side.

31. Cinnamon Roots and Pale Ends. This girl takes it a step further and pairs a warm base color with the coolest platinum blonde around the entire perimeter.

32. Medium-Length Fiery Locks. With the root melt and darker shades on the bottom, this electric red is not only eye-catching but also volumizing.

33. Fun Peachy Shag. This summer-ready hue is sure to attract much attention at beach parties, and it gives you a chance to fade out a darker shade nicely.

34. Corkscrew Copper Curls on Brown Skin. Bouncy coils and vibrant red hues are meant to play well together, and a dark complexion makes the formula even more spectacular.

35. Ethereal Copper Blonde Scheme. If you think that a couple of light pieces make no difference for neutral reds, this edgy style proves otherwise.

36. Burgundy Bronde Balayage. Red can work as a color bridging rich wine shades with golden bronde hues, giving you the right balance of depth and lightness.

37. Glaring Copper with Strategic Highlights. We’ll say again — placement is what distinguishes a skillful balayage from a mediocre color job.

38. Shoulder-Length Red Locks with Contrasting Roots. Medium reds usually last quite well, but your color will need even fewer touch-ups with shadow roots included in the style.

39. Glazed Orange with Root Smudge. You will love this shiny color scheme even more when you see how friendly it is to growing-out roots.

40. Tangerine Bob with Face-Framing Accents. This cute bob is full of shine and bold vibes, and the blonde money piece adds a bit of contrast.

41. Copper Brown Glazed Waves. The flow of this toned-down brown is suddenly interrupted by pops of a dynamic red.

42. Edgy Short Copper Pixie. The micro fringe is fun, and so is this shaggy crop, but what sets the whole style apart is how the bold color fits the girl’s features and personality.

43. Intense Red with Butterfly Layers. Here is another way to embrace copper locks, this time by incorporating some fire into a softer base color.

44. Brown with Yellow Splashes. This is quite an unexpected yet playful mix of colors, more of a lemon than orange or cherry.

45. Flamingo-Inspired Bright Shag. While we are on the subject of flamboyant hair colors, what about such a startling blend of pink, red, and orange?

46. Neutral Red for Curls. When you have a head of carefree curls, a pale shade of red might be just the thing to complete the natural look.

47. Blonde Details to Red Ombre. A pair of bleached strands can make a brunette-to-red transition even more interesting and truly unique.

48. Sparkly Red Gold Bob. This bob would be no better than just cute if it wasn’t for the blunt and deep fringe shining like red gold — it makes the style classy.

49. Auburn and Amber Melt for Long Locks. A long mane requires more effort to maintain dimension throughout the length, which is done here with auburn lowlights.

50. Sharp Bob with Blush and Shine. Straight and sleek strands are especially vulnerable to feeling flat, but this iridescent bob is pretty safe from that.

We are quite sure this collection has made you feel the urge to own red, but finding the right color palette is crucial for your idea to work. The best way would be to take an inspirational photo to your salon and talk about tailoring the look to your personality by a pro. Good luck!
