Caring for Your Ginger Hair

Caring for your hair starts from within: following a good, healthy diet will have a huge impact on the way your hair looks and feels. You can find your perfect hair recipe in our dedicated blog: #Healthyhair Foods To Eat For Healthy Hair.

Once you’ve found your best allies for perfect tresses in your kitchen, it’s time to move to the shower. What you use on your hair when you wash it heavily contributes to the final look; this is why it’s essential that you establish a dedicated hair care routine and include all the products that work magic on your hair. Ginger hair tends to be more delicate although coarse, and it's crucial to treat it gently to preserve its vibrancy and shine!

Always opt for sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners to prevent your hair from going dry and brittle over time. This is especially important if you’re wearing human hair extensions, as they don’t get any nourishment and hydration from your scalp.

Every time you resort to heat-based styling tools such as flat irons and curling wands, make sure you spritz a generous dose of heat-protectant spray on your tresses to shield them from damage.

Making Ginger Hair More Vibrant

If you’d like to intensify the natural vibrancy of your ginger hair without dyeing it, you can try some of these methods to boost your natural hue!

Try natural ingredients such as red henna, beetroot juice and hibiscus to boost the redness in your hair in an all-green way, or explore the red-enhancing options in shampoo, conditioners and hair masks designed to boost hair colour.

One of my favourite options is the Glaze Super Colour Conditioning Gloss: available in different shades, this cream leaves your hair soft and manageable whilst gifting it unmatched shine and a pigmentation kick.

Choosing the Right Hair Products

Selecting the right hair products to include in your hair care routine is the key to success when it comes to enhancing ginger hair and its natural beauty.

I have listed some of my all-time favourite shampoos for redheads in this blog: The Best Shampoo For Ginger Hair Extensions, but the list doesn’t stop here.

Keep an eye out for red-enhancing products; they usually have the message loud and clear on the bottle or box, such as the Wella Professionals Colour Fresh Mask Copper, or the Lush Caca Rouge henna.

Avoiding Colour Fading and Damage

If you have previously boosted your naturally red hair with a hair dye job, then protecting the colour from fading is essential. Don’t forget to use hair SPF to prevent the vibrancy of your hair from going dull, and limit the use of heat-styling tools. Also, I can’t stress this enough, use your heat protection spray!

Professionally Enhance Your Ginger Hair

For a more dramatic transformation, consider professional hair services! A treatment such as the brazilian blow dry or a hair botox session can give your hair a real makeover with unprecedented shine, softness, and manageability.

A skilled hair colourist can help enhance your ginger hair by adding subtle highlights or lowlights to create depth and dimension in your tresses, or you can easily achieve this by using mixed shade or balayage hair extensions.

Last but not least, using ginger hair extensions can help you boost your mane with added thickness, volume and length – depending on your desired style. Blending seamlessly with your natural tresses, red hair extensions can work wonders and transform your hair. Whether you’re looking for a 5-minutes-makeover by using clip in hair extensions or a long-term transformation by using a more permanent solution such as tape in hair extensions or nano ring hair extensions, there are plenty of options for you.

FAQs

Is it possible to have naturally red hair?

Yes, it is possible to have naturally red hair. Natural red hair is a result of genetics, specifically a variation in the MC1R gene. This gene influences the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair, skin, and eye colour. People with red hair have a higher amount of pheomelanin (the red-yellow pigment) and less eumelanin (the brown-black pigment), which gives their hair its distinctive red hue.

What shades of red hair are natural?

Natural shades of red hair include a range of colours, from copper and auburn to strawberry blonde. Copper is a vibrant orange-red shade, auburn is a darker reddish-brown, and strawberry blonde is a lighter shade that combines red and blonde tones. These shades occur naturally and can vary greatly in intensity.

How can you tell if someone is a natural redhead?

You can tell if someone is a natural redhead by looking for a few key characteristics. Natural redheads often have fair skin that freckles easily and light-coloured eyes, such as blue, green, or hazel. Their eyebrows and eyelashes may also be lighter in colour compared to people with darker hair. Additionally, natural redheads typically have a consistent hair colour from root to tip and throughout their life, though the shade may darken slightly with age. However, it can be challenging to determine natural red hair purely by appearance, especially if hair dye is involved.
