Do you know how many centuries used red shades of paint? For hair, nails and tattooing, they began to use them as early as 1200 years BC in ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have discovered traces of henna, which gives a wide variety of fiery tones, on various parts of mummies, which indicates the wide distribution of this cosmetic product.
Today, red shades of hair dyes based on herbal ingredients are used by those women who want to make their hair thick, lush and elastic, strengthen their roots, and get rid of dandruff. In this case, you can get a very rich palette of tones by adding various ingredients to henna. For example, mahogany color can be obtained with 3-4 tablespoons of cocoa, and deep chestnut with a clear ryzhka is formed when ground coffee is added (three or four teaspoons are boiled for 5 minutes, the solution is cooled, henna is added).
So that the red shades of hair colors when applying henna turn out bright, it is not recommended to brew the cosmetic product with boiling water, because this will give a faded, reddish tone. It is better to use acidic liquids like kefir, herbal tea with lemon, dry wine, etc. The addition of essential oils (a couple of drops) of incense, lavender, eucalyptus or tea tree will also give a more saturated color. You need to keep henna on your hair the amount of time that is indicated on the package. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the natural dye will fully reveal in one color or another only after a few days.
For those who want a quick, obvious result, as well as for those who often change the color of curls, red shades of hair dyes can be found at many manufacturers of synthetic cosmetics. For example, Revlon produced about ten suitable tones, including No. 45 (bright red), No. 44 (reddish-chestnut, medium), No. 43 (golden, chestnut, medium), No. 42 (red, medium), No. 53 (red, light), No. 55 (red, chestnut, light), etc.
To get a red hair color, the shades of the paint that we use offers various. Its quality and the right color are of great importance. Also significant role is played by the initial type. Often, more expressive tones are obtained from those girls who have their own fiery pigment. And these are not always natural red curls, there can only be a slight goldenness, which is visible, for example, in sunlight. Also, bright shades are obtained on your own blond or blond hair.
How to choose the shade of red color correctly? To do this, you need to see what color type you belong to? If the appearance is close to the image of Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, Elena Korikova or Britney Spears, then a golden-red, amber will do. Girls similar in color to Natalia Vodianova (light eyes, ashen hair naturally) should avoid dark and red tones. And the owners of natural red-brown hair like Kidman, Savicheva, Goldanskaya can safely use the whole palette of fiery shades. Women who are similar in color to Anastasia Zavorotnyuk or Tina Kandelaki can afford rich ruby, raspberry shades, but sunny-red tones will not suit them.
