I dyed my hair red in September, and I’ve never received more compliments on anything in my life. I have to wonder: Is this what Dua Lipa feels like? Nothing has made me feel confident like a fresh red dye job—so much so, I can’t imagine ever going back to blonde again. But the next hair color trend I have my eye on right now? A dark red hair color, whether that’s burgundy, cherry cola, reddish brown, chestnut, or red velvet.
Red hair has been a trending hair color for a few years, starting with the copper craze, followed by endless ginger and maroon iterations from celebrities like Zendaya, Emma Stone, SZA, and more. This new, deeper hue can suit every skin tone and eye color, if you choose the shade correctly (remember, this is always something you can work out with your colorist). It’s an expensive-looking hair color; although you don’t need to be a celeb to achieve it with the below tips and inspo.
