Ginger hair colors are in trend and if you are willing to try, go for it!

‘Gingers’ are notorious for being feisty and fierce with locks of red fury, so it’s no wonder why so many women opt to dye their hair red. Being a ‘ginger’ has been seen as a negative for decades so it’s refreshing to see how many redheads are rocking their fiery locks without apology.

More specifically, ginger hair color is a very light red that is seemingly blonde but has red undertones, sort of like strawberry blonde. According to Matrix.com, “Ginger red hair color is a spicy, light or medium reddish brown tone that is one of the most natural-looking reds in the spectrum.”

Gorgeous Ginger Hair Color Ideas

If you’ve been thinking of jumping on the redhead bandwagon and are looking for a more natural-looking color, then ginger could be a great choice to consider. You can also check out the light and dark red hair colors. Here are 40 of the best ginger hair colors we have handpicked for your consideration:

1. Ginger with Light Orange Highlights

A long straight pixie in ginger is a fiery hairstyle for any bold woman to rock. If you’re not afraid of orange, ask your hairstylist for light orange highlights. You don’t have to look too hard to see the beautiful pairing these colors make.

2. Dark Ginger with Hot Highlights

If you have long ginger hair, be brave with hot-colored highlights. Red, orange, and yellow are all hot colors on the color wheel, and they look amazing with ginger hair!

3. Classic Ginger Bun

If you’re a hair virgin, meaning you’ve never colored it, you probably have this traditional ginger hair color. Pile your hair high in a casual ballerina bun and leave a few tendrils to frame the face. 

4. Bright Red Beauty

Is there any other way to describe these bright red ginger waves than as a ‘classic beauty’? If you have longer hair, the shiny locks can be pinned in place. For short locks, secure the waves with hair spray. Pair with a red lip and you’re ready for a night out!
