Here’s the deal, dyeing your hair will never go out of style! Whether it’s a classic bombshell, or a fiery red hair, the colours will always be a fan-favourite. As hair trends float in and out throughout the year, the only thing you need to worry about is which hairstyle people are raving about! When the E-girl trend started gaining traction due to TikTok, the only hairstyle people were getting was dyeing the front money pieces. It didn’t matter what colour either. The trend was there. So, you could dye your money pieces a burning red colour, and everyone would go crazy! So, Beauty Insider is here to share the best red hair colour hairstyles you can try, right now. Who knows, you might just get inspired for your next salon appointment! 

Dyeing Your Hair Red Colour

Red is the classic and go-to colour for when someone wants to dye their hair. It is easy and most of the time, works on darker shades of hair as well! But, the colour wheel is so big. There are so many different shades of red for you to choose from. Which do you choose? Ranging from dark mauve, to the bright fires of hell, which shade is going to make you truly pop. Dark reds and auburn tend to be people’s go-to because it can complement nearly every skin tone.

What’s more, is that auburn hair colours and hairstyles seem much more natural than parading around with bright orangey tones of red hair. With the dark shades of maroon, red and auburn, they are more acceptable in the workplace as well. Employers will tend to brush it off much easier than if you came in with a unicorn dump on your head! 

Red Hair Every Day

If you haven’t noticed, a handful of celebrities were or are, rocking the red hair trend. Take Ariana Grande, for example, she might be a huge influence on what colour shade of red people want to dye their hair. This is mostly due to her days on Nickelodeon, where her character Cat Valentine had hair colours ranging from deep red to bright red! At least it was an inspiration for some of us! On the other hand, Gigi Hadid can be seen recently sporting a red hairstyle with orangey tones. Creating this almost ginger and farmish hairstyle look. Of course, both celebrities looked gorgeous with their hair colour and hairstyle choices. The goal is to find one that suits you! 

But, before you schedule an appointment with a hairstylist, or even DIY it yourself, just know that deep red is the hardest colour to keep up, and get rid of. So if you are committed to a red hot hairstyle, just be prepared to stick with it for a while because it will be nasty to try and remove. 

Best Red Hair Styles To Try

Now for the best part, and the part everyone is most probably is waiting for. Here are a few ideas if you guys are looking to dye your hair a hot red colour. Whether it’s just subtle highlights or full head transformations, treat this as a Pinterest board!

2. Bella Opts For Front Money Pieces

Following in her sister’s footsteps, well sort of, Bella opted for a different red look. Instead of going full ginger, Bella only dipped her front two locks. Embodying the E-girl trend and bringing it back. We absolutely adore this look and it is an easy way to switch up your hairstyle. 

3. Ginger Wash

If all you’re looking for is a little hint of red in your already ginger look, just ask your hairstylist to apply a ginger gloss. Apply it right over your existing colour to get that shining hint of red. 

4. Emma Roberts With Cayenne Spice

Remember when Emma Roberts was a redhead? Well, technically it was kind of auburn and ginger, but she still rocked it nonetheless. Come one, she can pull off any look and she has proven that! When she decided to go bold, her red hair coloured was tinged with blonde to achieve the right tone. Giving the whole red hairstyle look dimension and depth. 

5. Zendaya’s Deep Ruby

Oh, Zendaya’s red era is always a delight. The deep shade of ruby red colour was gorgeous! As a much more toned-down red, this ruby-red shade can be quite subtle for darker skin tones. Thus, it blends into that natural look. Wearable every day, this red hairstyle features brown undertones for a natural, everyday look. 

6. Strawberry Blonde

That’s right, if you can’t choose between the two shades of red, try an orange sherbet sort of colour. This hairstyle is not for the weak as it leans to the brighter side of orange than red! If you do manage to pull this hairstyle and look off, we salute you!

13. Going Red on Brunette

We know that a lot of brunettes and dark-haired ladies and gents want to go red. Without bleaching and damaging your hair, you could probably sneak in highlights of red. Depending on your hair, you might get a lovely blend of red and brown that shines in the sunlight! If not, the colour might not even show up at all. Sorry guys.

The iconic Ariana Grande had red hair mostly throughout her childhood when she starred as Cat Valentine on the hit Nickelodeon show, Victorious. She later on also got her own spin-off with Jennette McCurdy, Sam and Cat. There is no doubt that we all loved her as Cat Valentine and her red locks. Making her look sweet and somehow even look as if she smelt like red velvet cupcakes! We’re wondering if we’ll ever see the red hair make a comeback on Ms Grande!
