How to Choose the RIGHT Red Hair Color based on your Color Season

[@bookbutterfly2408]

Istg the most well matched red wig I've ever seen was Monica Bellucci's red lob in Malena. The colour looked so at home on her & made her skin glow almost

[@Magdalenasfears]

I've had people tell me i look like her (that started when the matrix movies came out) and i recently just cut my hair off and dyed it a similar red to the color in that movie... didn't realize it was so similar in cut and color until i read your comment and Googled a picture lol. Don't get me wrong, i love my natural dark hair and eyes, but the red just adds a vibrancy to me instead of the stark dark and light

[@allisonjoynerbizama2450]

@@Magdalenasfears How did you achieve the right red color? I'm trying to figure out what to ask from my stylist to transition to red.

[@Magdalenasfears]

@allisonjoynerbizama2450 I went to cosmetology school (didn't graduate) forever ago so I mixed up my own formula. The color itself is a level 6 (1 being midnight black, 10 being platinum). My natural is about a level 3. The formula I used was schwarzkopf igora royal. I used half 6.77, a quarter 7.57 and a quarter 5.57. Your hairdresser should know what those mean. Basically you want to go for a more copper gold based red instead of just a gold based red. Quick warning though. I LOVED that color and got a ton of compliments, but it's a lot of upkeep, especially if you have darker hair naturally. I went back to my natural dark color, but I'd still recommend you try it because it's fun 😁 I hope that helped!

[@Magdalenasfears]

@allisonjoynerbizama2450 also you can usually trust your stylist if you give them an inspiration picture. A couple years ago I went in and showed a picture of Scarlett Johansson as black widow and said I wanted something in that ballpark. My stylist mixed up a red that was a bit more copper than the inspiration photo to compliment my eye color, and the color I concocted was very similar. But you might be someone who looks better with violet undertones or more gold. You're more than welcome to use my formula, or they might alter it a bit, say just use the 6.77 and 7.57 to make it a bit lighter than a level 6, or the 5.57 without the 7.57 to make it a bit darker... but the color of the wig she wears is a level 6 from what I can tell.

[@TheBreaker996]

I guess the biggest issue with trying to “pull off” the red hair color is that society expects red to be this fire-on-the-head, sort of orange. I'm a natural redhead, but on the darker side of the red. Auburn to be exact. And many people just said “You are not a redhead” to my face. It gets ridiculous very quickly

[@stylerefinement]

Your hair in your profile pic looks like a very beautiful (and obviously) red to me! Gorgeous ❤

[@TheBreaker996]

@@stylerefinementyeah, but I don't always have a softbox light to shine on me at the perfect angle, so… 😅

[@emilyevans6989]

Ohhhh, Jenn! It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL on you! I did my share of hair coloring and bleaching when I was in my 20’s, into my 30’s and mid-forties. In 2017 I had a money piece, and I (against recommendation of a friend) went to a new hairdresser to have it touched up. When I was a child my hair was white blonde, and I knew it would lift easily. Long story short-it was a disaster! When she washed the bleach out it literally looked like Ramen noodles in the front. I went to a chin length bob, but that in the front was just so damaged. I went to a hairdresser I knew, and he cut it in a Pixie I loved and wore for the next 5 years. I’m growing it out now, and I love the dark ash and the white that’s coming in. Think I’ll keep it. I’m a winter, and the reds I tried to wear were AWFUL on me. I certainly tried it, though!

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you Emily! The story sound horrid but I'm glad you ended up with a pixie that you loved ❤❤❤ I don't know if I'll ever bleach my hair again - it's too much work & stress!

[@sparklejesusfreak]

I agree where I feel like the depth of a color is most vital for me as I'm close to neutral but on the warm side. But this made a lot of sense why I like a shade of red very close to my natural hair color depth of a level 5.

[@julieme7927]

I love the colour it turned out. I might copy you 😊

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you! You should go for it ❤️

[@YumeraChauque]

​@@stylerefinementhi could you make a analisis about mcjimsey sistem because was the first book beeing published about body type i think it could be interesting a video about that and see a comparison between the recent sistems like kibbe

[@limop20]

congrats Jenn! One can see the effort you put in your business and the level of competence you have.

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@Sarah-zg2iq]

I’m a bright Winter with medium olive skin and burgundy looks amazing as a hair color, it’s bright enough for me but does not scream in your face like a pure red. As an olive, warm reds are a no go unfortunately even if I’m a bright Winter..it brings out the yellow in my skin. I have to keep it as cool as possible but not muted or a dull red that is lifeless. Thank you for this video! 👏🏼

[@ashlamccammon4196]

Your hair looks gorgeous!! Waiting to dye my hair a slightly lighter red version of your hair after this chapter in my life comes to a close as a reward to myself - so this is perfect timing and makes me motivated and excited for that time 😁

[@stylerefinement]

I'm glad the video came at a good time for you! ❤❤❤

[@anwayaa]

How do you just know to send the perfect video for what I'm going through in life atm 😭

[@stylerefinement]

The universe knows ❤

[@gms6780]

That colour suits you beautifully! I would try it again more intensely, but that’s definitely the clarity that suits you best :)

[@stylerefinement]

Yes - this was the clarity I was looking for ❤

[@bethanyann1060]

Oh my gosh it's brilliant how you said orange and blue cancel each other out. I saw the Sarah Ryan video and heard other people say how it's not possible to create a "cool orange" but it wasn't until you said that I was like "DUH that's why!" Thanks for that lol

[@elarasophia]

I love that colour on you! You look stunning with it. It's perfect!

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mamawu6244]

Can you do a video on how to choose makeup colors for gray hair and how to style it?

[@Leticia_b_ceratti]

Hi,Jenn!!! You look amazing with this color!!! I also prefer something more "natural" speccialy because is much more easier to maintain. I'm a convicted redhair, since I was 14. I've tried to be blonde, and maybe it suits me better, but is not what I am 😅😂.

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you Leticia! ❤️ yes - low maintenance was a major reason for me in choosing this color as well 😅😉

[@em945]

That colour is just beautiful on you. Very sophisticated. Hope it stays on well. That lesson was really helpful and clear. Thank you!

[@stylerefinement]

I'm hoping it stays too! I feel like the color is changing already with a couple of washes :(

[@florenna]

Hmm, I can pull off all reds except cool or bright reds (I know this from experience), orange looks surprisingly good on me; and as far as I've been able to decipher myself, I'm a Dark Autumn (ie. Deep Autumn), though I *look* fairly light comparatively.

[@wyzasukitan]

JENNNNNNN 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOUR TIMING IS ✨IMMACULATE✨

[@stylerefinement]

[@minervarose7664]

This is the best video on red hair i've seen ❤ *me crying in a corner with my pitch black hair 😭😭😭* Wish i could go strawberry blond or have Rihanna-type cool, vibrant red hair! But the only colouring that seems to work for me and doesn't also damage my hair is a blend of coppery/ mahogany highlights. Being a Bright Spring with a light olive undertone which is neutral-warm, i do need depth AND contrast. Anything too warm and caramel-ly blends in with my skin so i need to keep my natural black as well.

[@stylerefinement]

Does Henna work on you at all? My mom uses it and it turns her hair RED! She does has somewhat of a lighter hair color for an Asian but the color turns out quite vibrant on her :)

[@lindaroy4061]

Hi Jenn! I love how the colour turned out! It’s so soft and pretty! ❤

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you so much Linda! I'm happy with how it turned out ❤❤❤

[@JC-yc8wg]

Hi Jenn 😊 I like the soft deep red tone on you. I also think you could pull off blondish highlights, when you're tan. My skin tone is very similar to yours ( warm med. Olive, with med/soft chroma) and I really like a 50/50 blend of Redken 07nb chestnut and 09nb irish cream ,placed over bleached foil highlights. It has just a hint of blondish copper tone to it. It really compliments my skin tone, especially when I'm tan. I think its fun to change it up for the seasons. 🎉

[@stylerefinement]

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I'll give it a try in the summer time ❤

[@LaurenMadisonA]

Extremely helpful and informative. Definitely did not expect your new red hair turn out the way they it did, but you look great!

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful 😀

[@marie.theartist]

My hair is a natural brown/deep auburn hair. So, auburn for sure falls in the cool red side. I also have a cool/olive skintone.

[@chonntonwonton104]

I was thinking of going red this is not a coincidence

[@lemmings6516]

I am also olive and default back to burgundy when my natural ash brown bores me. Us (slightly warm) olive people are especially good at pulling off red I feel :)

[@stylerefinement]

I agree! ❤️ I love dark cool/neutral reds

[@alisha1377]

I’m a natural redhead, but I often feel like my hair is too warm on me. But I’ve tried baby lights before and it washed me out. I don’t know how to find a balance and a easy to maintain color for redhair (the upkeep is hard, the orange always pops through)

[@stylerefinement]

I agree with the upkeep! Red hair is one of the most difficult colors to maintain :(

[@Divinelyprotected-c2w]

I think it looks pretty !

[@lenka156]

My problem is, Im very warm skinned (I'm european, softer warm autumn) with darker brown hair (n.6) with orange undertone. After I started to turn grey, I tried to color my hair, but all the darker colors were to red - cold on me and if I get lighter (and the colors had orange undertone), I lost my contrast. So in the and I ended with coloring my hair. (I have just a little gray. And yes, I tried the hairdressers too.)

[@angelrose9117]

You don't have to lighten your hair to a level 9 level blonde to get it red. Getting it to a level 7 copper is well and truly enough for most red shades, which won't cause that much damage.

[@kirilvelinov7774]

The best shade for me is "cranberry" Cranberry(deep red-violet)

[@mrsbryant]

Next do blonde pls 🙏

[@rosielele]

Oh no it will not look good

[@kalinkavelinova2529]

Lighter skin:copper reds or rose gold Darker skin:deeper more purple tone

[@Yoniii845]

May you make a video how to choose the right blonde hair colour based on skin tones. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for the videos you make 💕😇💕

[@aWorkInProgress11]

this looks so good!!!

[@stylerefinement]

Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@nataleefr]

I wanted to ask you, I am also a soft winter, I am a light olive, can I "achieve" the softness with a lighter hair color? For example, rose gold hair (but the warmer version) looked good on me paired with a peach blush and lipstick.

[@lightdancervaughn1447]

Hi, I am a soft autumn, and use Madison Reed champagne blonde. They also have glosses and other products to warm up or cool down your color. Ammonia free, $25.00 a kit, I get 2 months out of a kit. Worth checking them out.

[@stylerefinement]

I'd be careful with not going TOO light / soft! I find with Soft Winters, Winter is still the main season so there still needs to be a decent level of contrast, and going too far into Soft Summer / Soft Autumn route tends to look washed out! So I'd say try to maintain some darkness (I've tried the rose gold hair in the past too!)

Hi Jen! New subscriber from Brazil! Could you make a video about korean perm? (types, how to decide, which one is better for your type of hair and haircut, etc.). I'm loving your videos and your way of explaining things, it has been really helpful for me :). Although I am from Brazil, my family is Asian so I have always struggled to understand my type of beauty and how to use my physical features in my favor. (You know, western and asian stereotypes kinda get messed up and confusing haha). Thanks a lot for your work!!

I just commented the other video hahah and you know I'm always here in the comment section, but I just saw this video now... after dyeing my hair and it not quite looking right.. 💀 I think I am kinda like you, a bit on the darker side of value, medium chroma (I absolutely dissapear in bright colors, but gray doesn't look right either) and not sure about the temperature (I'd guess myself as a dark autumn or a muted winter). And burgundy colors on me look good as clothes... But I just dyed my hair burgundy/dark red with a tint of violet (it was 5.62 from Alfarf Evolution of color, but it kinda looks like the 1.8 you showed in 6:24, but a bit lighter and redder because my hair was brown black asian hair) and now my skin color looks orange 🤡🤡🤡 like that 1st Ariana Grande music video ("Put your hearts up" just search for it lol) The yellow on my skin is showing too much... And I usually look greyish, but not anymore 💀 I don't think it's because of how dark it is because my natural hair is almost black, maybe because it kinda looks too bright, or either the red tone or purple tone doesn't match me... Maybe I am not as neutral as I thought lol The hair looks like it's a filter... I'm glad yours turned out very suddle and looks good on you!

[@stylerefinement]

My skin looked a bit yellow/sallow with the color at first too. Now that it’s faded I actually like the color more!

[@NathyIsabella]

@@stylerefinement I hope mine fades to a nice color too... let's just wait and see... hahaha but now I know I am probably not a winter or that this specific color doesn't suit me well...
