Are you the victim of an old beauty regiment? Even when you’re all
done-up you’re still not happy? Don’t stress yourself out over trying
to fight your natural hair texture or body. If you feel like your
locks are lacking that extra “oomph” and you could use some direction,
take it from us. The name of the game is COLOR, and this season our
team is inspired not by the usual Winter auburns and gold tones, but
bold, vivid and sexy RED! Burgundy, magenta, cherry, maroon, ruby,
crimson.
TONE IT AS YOU WILL, WE LOVE THEM ALL!
Over the past few decades, the world has become fascinated with red
hair, and characters with the distinctive shade have been popping up
all over pop culture recently.
A big misconception is that having red hair is just for fair-skinned,
freckled girls, but with a little color theory know-how, you too can
enjoy a fiery mane.
When coloring or highlighting to get a red hue, David Scholle of
Arsova Salon advises using a brown-based shade to add richness and
more of a natural look. With red hair, the brown is there already in
the hair’s pigments, so coloring or highlighting based on those
underlying pigments will make it last longer.
Anita Arsova agrees. She says working with your hair’s natural
pigments will best complement your natural skintone. “Choose a red
with the same undertones as your skin. For example, if you have yellow
undertones, opt for a golden copper. Never try to oppose your skintone
with hair color because you will look washed out.”
If you want a little celebrity inspiration, just look at Nicole
Kidman, Christina Hendricks and Emma Stone who look fabulous with
their light skin and red locks. Julia Roberts is the best example of
someone with a medium skintone who always looks great with her red
hair, and when it comes to darker skintones, no one does red better
than Rihanna, of course!
”Red hair looks good because it stands out and it’s a total
showstopper,” added David. “On the right person, with the right
attitude, it can be really striking. It’s true that only two percent
of the population naturally have red hair. But that doesn’t mean more
women can’t enjoy this vibrant, energetic, head-turning hue. You just
need to know how to pick the perfect shade of burgundy, magenta,
strawberry-blonde or orange-red for your skintone. Let us help you
find your perfect match at Arsova.”
