2. Sunkissed lengths

For a sunkissed style that’ll look like you’ve just stepped off the plane from your jolly holidays, ask your stylist to add more blonde through the lengths of your red ash colour for a sun-lightened look.

And for any unnatural redheads out there looking to channel a sunny red shade, do like this Insta babe and opt for on-trend dark roots before fading into your chosen colour. Dark lippy optional. Credit: @saramun_
