Changing your hair color is always a risk, especially if you decided to go red. Red hair color is one of the most difficult to pull off as natural and most expensive to maintain. With a few tricks it doesn’t have to be expensive and you can keep your bright hair color year around without going to a salon every six weeks.
Never dye your hair more than two shades from its original color. If you have light hair going deep red will look atrocious with your skin tone. You are better off with a strawberry blonde. The easiest way to pick the right red it to find a celebrity that has the same complexion as you, find a few photos when they had red hair and match your hair to their hair color. This is the easiest way to get red hair color ideas that are right for you.
Red hair color fades after three washes. This makes maintaining the color extremely expensive even if you do it yourself. The easiest way to give yourself a color boost in between dye jobs is to save the remaining hair dye. Put the left over hair dye in an empty shampoo bottle. Add three parts shampoo to every one-part hair dye. Shampoo with this mixture every few weeks to give your hair a red boost. Shampoo with it like you would your regular shampoo but let it sit in your hair for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly and condition as usual. This little trick will keep your red hair vibrant in between dying.

The other easy trick is to avoid black mascara using clear mascara will make your lashes look like they are on a natural redhead. Happy hair dying!
