This Spring wild red hues will take center stage, pushing a traditional color outside of the lines. Making a statement with variations of red color is a bold move to show your fierce side. From warm and cool tones that range from natural to vivid shades there is a shade of red for everyone. Seen on the Gucci runways pairing effortlessly with Alessandro Michele’s unique color palettes, this color is gaining traction for 2017.

When transitioning to a red color keep in mind your skin tone. Warmer and copper tones compliment fairer complexions whereas auburn hues compliment warmer complexions. Consult with your professional colorist before diving into the color. With red being one of the hardest colors to maintain ask your colorist to add in a color locking product that will preserve the color by its ingredients being deposited into the hair strand along with the color molecules.

Once you’ve left the salon you’ll want to find products to use at home that are going to strengthen your hair and seal in color. A protein formulated groom can help to repair damaged hair being applied to wet hair before styling. Combining that with a color enhancing conditioner will give you the protection you need to keep your new red color shiny, healthy and vivid!
