Keeping Red Hair Vibrant: Care Tips for Natural and Dyed Redheads
Red pigment fades fastest of all hair colours. Here is how creators keep it bright on camera.
Cool water, colour-safe shampoo
Red dye molecules are large and wash out quickly. Sulphate-free shampoo and cooler rinses help.
Gloss and refresh
Colour-depositing conditioners between salon visits keep copper and auburn shades rich.
Lighting on camera
Warm key lights at around 3200–4000K flatter red tones; very cool LEDs can make hair read as brown.
