Butterscotch
Butterscotch is a warm red shade that works beautifully on relaxed or neutral-toned hair, adding an eye-catching pop of color without going too bold.
The classic butterscotch sauce can be created by melting butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan before whisking in heavy cream and simmering it to thicken. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of salt for extra delicious flavor – and you have one mouthwatering butterscotch sauce!
Butterscotch is similar to caramel but uses brown sugar instead of white granulated sugar and molasses in addition to butter for an earthier, richer taste that often finds use in brownies, cookies, or pies.
Auburn
Auburn is a warm medium red shade that works beautifully on warm skin tones and eye colors. Darby Stanchfield from Scandal wears it beautifully, perfectly pairing her porcelain complexion and blue eyes.
Deep brown hair color offers an elegant blend of golden red and warm brown hues, making for an eye-catching combination that works great for all hairstyles – particularly those featuring green or friendly brown eyes.
Highlights can be an effective way to experiment with Auburn. Ask your stylist for a strawberry ombre that adds beautiful reflections or soft apricot copper strands with subtle auburn hues to see which works best with your locks.
Copper
Copper is an elegant yet stylish warm red hair color. Perfect for people with excellent or neutral skin tones who desire a subdued yet eye-catching shade, copper boasts its timeless appeal.
Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain both rock golden copper hair. This warm and spicy hue complements fair to medium complexions with peach, gold, or neutral undertones, and blue, green, or hazel eyes.
Use mahogany copper shades combined with balayage for an eye-catching, low-maintenance look. As this hue fades quickly, ask your stylist for regular tap root or root melt touch-ups every 4-6 weeks to help extend its lifespan, and switch to gentle sulfate-free shampoo to prolong its lustrous hue for as long as possible.
Wine Red
Wine-red is the darkest red hue on our list and makes an eye-catching statement regarding shade. Blending purple, copper, and chocolate brown hues, the wine-red hair color offers vibrant depth with its striking blend. Perfect for creating an eye-catching fall look.
Warm red hues such as this warm red hair color look great on medium to dark skin tones, with olive skin tones particularly benefiting. Additionally, it works beautifully alongside lighter highlights or an ombre style.
Try styling your stunning red wine locks into a half-up, half-down hairstyle with soft waves to show off your stunning red wine locks. This stunning style highlights your multidimensional shade while easily adaptable for any haircut or texture.
Strawberry Blonde
Strawberry blonde is a subtler option when it comes to red hair dye. From going platinum with soft strawberry tint to darker copper red shades hinting at redhead territory, you can craft the perfect strawberry blonde shade in multiple ways.
Light brown with strawberry blonde highlights effectively softens warm reds against cooler skin tones, creating the ideal tone-on-tone look. Wear this beautiful hue in loose beach waves for a feminine and timeless style.
Dark strawberry blonde hues look striking yet natural when combined with icy blonde highlights and balayage lowlights. Consult a stylist on lightening and adding red highlights for that perfect strawberry blonde look.
Rose Red
If red is too bold for you, why not opt for something with more subdued tones like pink? This shade looks fantastic with light complexions and is stunning against blonde locks – an excellent alternative to copper for those who don’t wish to bleach their locks beforehand!
Deep orangey red hues work wonders with warm complexions and pair perfectly with green eyes – ideal for girls who love making an impression first impression! This hue makes a lasting statement.
