Black and Red Balayage
The balayage technique is one of the most popular ways to wear black and red hair, that we can attest to.
Thanks to the freedom to go as heavy or as bold as you like, you can tailor the look to your own style and personality. If you’re a more discreet type, simply add a few slices of red throughout the lengths of your hair for a more subtle finish, or glow up like this Instagrammer and turn heads with an intense red effect.

Two-Tone
It might not be one for the faint-hearted, but it’s certainly one of our fave red and black hair colour ideas.

Red Ombre on Black Hair
Not only is this Instagrammer rocking one of this year’s hottest haircuts (we’re talking about bob and bangs, of course), but her mix of black and red hair is striking for all the right reasons. Using an ombre to show off her hue, this style is certainly one to take note of.
Editor’s tip: If you plan on adopting any of these red and black hair colour ideas, we suggest using the TRESemmé Colour Shineplex Shampoo and Conditioner to help maintain your colour vibrancy way past the hundreds of Instagram likes you’re sure to get.

Colour Blocking
Not just for your wardrobe, colour blocking is becoming one of the surprising new ways to dye your tresses of late. This Instagrammer coloured the top section of her hair with a fiery red hue while leaving the underneath section a deep dark hue.
