"A huge trend Daily Makeover has been noticing this spring is red hair. So many celebs, such as Jennifer Morrison, Jaime King, Gossip Girl's Kaylee Defer and Lindsay Lohan (finally back to natural!) have been trading in their golden locks for the edgier hue. And here's some breaking beauty news: Miley Cyrus just dyed her ombré locks to a light red.
Not everyone can pull off the vibrant shade, but more can than you would think. Here are some tips for finding out if red is in your hair-color future.
What Is Your Skin Tone?
Certain skin tones look great
with red hair, while others do not. If your veins are blue, you have a cooler
skin tone and you shouldn't go with a warmer hair color like red. But if you see
a greener tone in your wrist veins, then you have a golden skin tone compatible
with red. "Feel free to play around with golden browns, reddish tones and honey
shades," Elizabeth Hiserodt, a colorist at the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in New York, recommends. She also suggests
cherry and violet shades for darker skin.
How Healthy Is Your Hair?
Red colored molecules are larger
than in other dyes, making it harder for the hair shaft to hold on to. This
causes the color to fade faster than other shades. Dry or damaged strands will
have an even harder time holding onto the color.
Would You Go That Bold?
Red hair is a bold move to take,
and not everyone is willing to do it. Personally, I know that I can pull it off
because I have natural red highlights, but I've still always been nervous to go
all out. But the great thing about color, unlike cut, is that it can easily be
fixed if you're not happy with the results.
Are you daring enough to try red this spring?"

I like red highlights and even adding more of a copper red color to my hair. It's good to do the highlights if your hair is brown. It seems to add a more light look, but still natural and you won't notice the darker roots as much. If you try to give yourself blonde highlights it sometimes makes your hair look fake or even like you have grey roots. I think adding red highlights to brown hair is the better way to go. Red is a great hair color!
