Okay, red is genuinely the color fall was invented for. Every leaf outside your window is basically doing a red hair color campaign for me right now, and my clients notice it too, this is the season I get the most red color requests all year.
These are the 25 red shades I keep mixing right now, grouped by intensity so you can find exactly how bold you want to go. If you want red without fully committing, my fall strawberry blonde hair color roundup is a softer entry point.
Save your favorite, and let fall be the reason you finally go red.
Copper Red
Bright, warm, and endlessly requested, copper is the red shade I mix the most this time of year, hands down.
Auburn Red
A little deeper and browner than copper, auburn is the shade I recommend most for a first-time red.
Burgundy Red
Deep, moody, almost purple in certain light, burgundy is where I send clients who want drama and depth both.
Cherry Red
Bold, saturated, and completely unmissable, cherry red is for the client who wants everyone to notice.
Red with Highlights
Adding lighter red or copper pieces into a base red gives dimension without a totally flat, single-tone finish.
