Just like the classic blonde or brunette look, fire-red hair has never gone out of fashion. A lot of girls like their red hair because it best represents their fiery red personality.

However, red hair is neither that easy to achieve, nor is it easy to maintain without it turning orange, brown or blonde with time. That is why in this article we are going to explain to you how to get fire red hair, as well as give you 5 stunning hairstyle ideas.

How to Get Fire Red Hair

The process of getting fire red hair depends on the base, or rather the color of your own hair and the intensity of the color you want to achieve.

If you have naturally blonde hair or bleached blonde hair, you can choose whether you’ll apply hair dye or toner. If you decide to apply hair dye, you don’t need a developer that is stronger than volume 20. Just section your hair out and, starting from the bottom section, start applying the hair dye. Wait for 30-40 minutes and then wash it out and style your hair.

If your hair is bleached blonde, you just have to tone it. However, if you have had your hair dyed previously, you will first have to remove that color from your hair and then apply some toner to get the fiery effect.

If you have virgin hair that’s darker than level 8, you will first have to lighten your hair and then color it using a toner. Dark hair can be dyed red, but the shade wouldn’t be as bold and bright and it would start turning brown after only one wash.

How to Maintain Fire Red Hair

If you are ready to commit yourself to wear red hair, you have to be ready for regular touch-ups. Red hair color fades easily, especially if the base was lightened. That is why you will have to tone your hair every few weeks and lighten the roots every 4-6 weeks.

Therefore, you should take good care of your hair so you don’t damage it heavily. Use hair oils to improve the shine and silkiness and trim the ends regularly to avoid split ends.
