Red hair COLOR is one of the most striking tones.

Each red shade—from deep wine to soft copper—has an ideal level where it performs best. When red is placed at the wrong level, it can appear muddy, brassy, flat, or fade too quickly. When placed correctly, red hair reflects light beautifully and maintains richness over time.
