What the Cool Kids Are Wearing: Hair Color EditionFrom sombré to pastel, the new hues to try in 2014 |
Fire Engine Red As much as we love/hated Rihanna's fluorescent red hair circa 2010, today's firecracker red hair color is sophisticated and show-stopping. We saw vibrant, true reds all over the fashion week runways, idolized it on TV women like Christina Hendricks, and ogled Karen Elson here (check out those matching brows!).
Who Can Pull It Off: "Cooler skin tones look best with deeper, true reds and violet tones," says de Souza. If you have darker or olive skin tones, stay clear. "Super red hues ... have too much blue in them and will make you look green, so be careful," he says.
What to Ask For: Bringing in a picture is often your best bet to get the perfect color. Remember: Your idea of "fire engine" may not necessarily be your stylist's same definition.
Beware Of: You can't be a slacker to pull off being a redhead. Petroff says it's even more of a commitment than being a blonde. "Ideally you should come into the salon every two to three weeks for a refresh."
