11. Fiery Mermaid Waves
Guy Tang is the master of mermaid hair! This blending of orange and red dye looks like a forest fire, and the waves are just like Ariel’s from the Little Mermaid. As always, big, shiny, healthy hair will always look amazing no matter the color. This is how you do red hairstyles.
12. Scene Girl Neon Locks
This is a really unique way of doing red hair colors – instead of traditional red or burgundy hair colors, what we have here is mostly a mixture of neon orange, pink, and yellow. When they come together, the effect is totally ginger. By keeping the hair straight the effect is a little 2000s, but in the best way.
13. Copper Queen Waves
This is a rare natural look from Guy Tang, and he kills it, of course. Luxurious copper and auburn hair colors come together to create a really rich, lush look that begs to be paired with a ruler’s crown.
14. Burgundy Dream Style
I’m all about those burgundy hair color ideas, because they bridge my love for red hair colors with my love for all things dark and gothy. Here we see a masterful example or burgundy and black streaks, with soft, touchably wavy hair.
15. Lady of the Highlands Locks
This style channels the Scottish Highlands with this natural-looking red head look. Orange, brown, and copper hair colors blend together seemingly effortlessly on long wavy hair, so the only thing missing is a dusting of freckles across the cheeks.
16. Red Velvet Tease
This is a gorgeous purply red; teased ‘do is everything I love about burgundy hairstyles. The color is rich like red velvet, and it’s not so dark that it can be mistaken for black or brown.
17. Red Nightfall
This is a super subtle ombre that utilizes some really good burgundy hair color ideas. One of them is the really large waves in the hair that make sure the look is more luxurious, and the other is brightening up only the very ends of the hair, which gives everything dimension.
18. Magenta Crimped Braid
Did you think crimping was a thing of the past? Well, okay, for the most part it is, but this image shows how you can do it right. When paired with a dark burgundy and magenta balayage, and a lot of layering and braiding, crimping can actually look awesomely boho punk chic.
19. Blood Orange Balayage
Red hairstyles don’t always require red dye – this combination of burnt orange and warm purple dye come together to create a subtle, flattering effect that seems natural, despite both colors being thoroughly unusual. Also worth noting is a beautiful example of balayage on slanted, bobbed hair.
20. Astounding Aubergine Waves
These massive, deeply aubergine waves are the perfect example of how to do very cold burgundy hair colors. This would be a great color choice for anyone with cool undertones, or very dark skin.
