The Best Red Hair Color Mixes to Try This Season

@megflahertyhair in Poison and Ritual Hi Foxes! With the cold months upon us, you may be missing the warmer weather and there’s truly no better way to heat things up than by entering your red hair era (or re-entering 😉). Allow us to make this as seamless as possible by giving you not one, but THREE red hair dyes that may even be simply TOO hot 🥵 (especially when mixed)! It’s important to know that Wrath, Ritual, and Poison are not just red semi-permanent hair dyes … They're a portal to a world where you stand out in the most captivating red hues and express your unique and individual style. With these three red hair dyes, you’ll be able to do just that. Before diving into some mixes, let’s run through a couple of quick things: Start by washing your hair a day or two before coloring to remove excess oils, but skip the conditioner Dry your hair completely, as hair dye tends to adhere better to dry strands Understand that red hair automatically makes you that girl 💅 Consider applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline and ears to prevent staining Section your hair into manageable portions, securing them with clips (for even application, of course) Now that you're RED-y 🤪 to go, let’s embark on the journey of transforming your locks into that inspo pic that you've had saved for some time now, shall we? Whether you were naughty or nice, this first mix is for you 👇 Top Red Hair Dye Mixes for the Season 1. “Haughty Red” 🛷 Poison + Transylvania Best suited for light to medium brown hair, this sultry, red-black fusion consists of a base of Poison and a drop of Transylvania (add a few more drops if needed). 2. Crimson Spell: @megflahertyhair Poison + Ritual Infuse the vivacity of Poison with the rich deep hue of Ritual and watch magic happen 🪄 Mixing equal parts Poison and Ritual (adding more Ritual as needed) and applying over light to platinum blonde hair will yield the best results. ✨ AF Pro Tip: Punch it up with more Poison for a more vivid red 🥊 3. Cranberry Cutie: @ashlee__smith in Virgin Pink and Ritual Ritual + Virgin Pink Combine the dark elegance of Ritual with Virgin Pink for a deep, enchanting red-pink “cranberry” concoction. Mix 2 parts Ritual to 1 part Virgin Pink on light to medium blonde hair. 4. Merlot Magic: @cygoesmeow in Wrath and Ritual Ritual + Wrath Combine equal parts of Ritual with Wrath for a merlot moment on light to platinum blonde hair, for this dark Ruby look 🥀 6. Foxy Firecracker: @lisovskihair in Poison and Neon Moon Poison + Neon Moon Using fiery Poison with Neon Moon to add intensity, we suggest starting with 2 parts Poison to 1 part Neon Moon on light to platinum blonde hair 💥 ✨AF Pro Tip: If needed, add in more Poison to deepen the mix 7. Vibrant Vixen: @notyourdestiny__ in Wrath and Electric Paradise Wrath + Electric Paradise Similar to the ”Foxy Firecracker” mix, use the red as your base and add in your other shade. Start with 2 parts Wrath to 1 part Electric Paradise on light to platinum blonde hair 🍒 ✨ AF Pro Tip: If needed, add in more Wrath to deepen the mix To preserve the brilliance of your customized hair color, you’ll want to embrace a color-friendly hair care routine. Opt for sulfate-free and color-safe shampoos and conditioners like our Resurrected Set to minimize color fading. Washing your hair with cold water also helps seal the cuticles as well by locking in the vibrancy. Another helpful tip is to minimize exposure to harsh sunlight and heated styling tools, as these can accelerate color fading 🙅‍♀️ With proper care, your red locks will continue to captivate and inspire, ensuring your vibrant self-expression can continue ❤️ Soo, which one caught your eye?! 🤩 Let us know in the comments below and as always let us know if you have any questions/need color assistance at [email protected]. Merry Mixmas! 🎨
