Things to keep in mind before dyeing your hair in shades of red

While red hair looks colourful and fun, taking care of it is quite an extensive process. Regular trips to the salon and taking proper care of your hair is necessary to carry off the colour in style. Not taking proper care will make your hair extremely dry. If you are all geared up to colour your hair red entirely or in ombre shades, here are a few things you need to keep in mind before you get it done:
Choosing the right colour
Take some time out to figure out the shade of red that will suit your complexion the best. Very bright red can look jarring on pale skin tones. A rusty red is more
likely to suit darker complexions, while a crimson shade that is almost purple will suit those with fair complexion. Consult a stylist to pick a red hue that would work best for you.
The colour tends to fade
Red is a hair colour shade that is known to fade a tad too quickly. Do not be alarmed when you see the shade running out during a hair wash. If you wish to maintain the shade you coloured your hair in, you need to be prepared for an occasional top-up every seven weeks or so.
Red hair requires maintenance
Do not head to a swimming pool for a fortnight after you colour your hair, since the colour is likely to fade faster when exposed to chlorinated water. Nurture your hair with the right colour protection shampoo and conditioner. Use dry shampoo once in a while to avoid over-washing your hair.
Heat-protection is a must
You might have to bid goodbyes to hot, calming hair washes, as colour runs out faster when exposed to heat. When out for a long time under the hot sun, use a leave-in serum to protect your hair from the harsh heat. Additionally, make sure to use heat-protection products before styling your hair with a hot iron.
