Red ombre: How to rock it like a pro

Hair Colour Base

Of course, there are ways to rock a red hue and do it subtly, but then, why would you want to? Our advice for the season, is to go bold, or go home – so think fiery blocks of burgundy, scarlet, or tomato reds! Note: the colour you opt for on the ends, is determined by the colour you start with at the roots.

Tip: If you’re working with naturally dark hair, look to deep reds to complement your locks, while blondes should stick to the lighter end of the spectrum, for a softer, yet high-impact look. Credit: @agajarosz

Reverse Ombre

Ombre traditionally means going from dark to light – but we were never one to stick to the rules, and neither should you! Instead of following suit, why not mix things up a bit and work a light to dark look, with ‘reverse ombre’?

This is a good technique to use if you have a lighter base tone, as you can maintain more of your natural hair colour, and just work your chosen red ombre hue from the mid-lengths to the ends. We suggest opting for pale pinks, tantalising tangerines, and cool corals, as these will melt seamlessly into your mane! Credit: @eveningarwen

Maintenance

All it takes to ensure that your flaming locks are kept in tip-top condition, is to invest in a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for coloured hair! Credit: @dajanajurczak
