About Us

 

Adrienne (right) and Stephanie (left) Vendetti are sisters, best friends,  natural-born redheads and Founders of How to be a Redhead. How to be a Redhead is empowering every redhead woman to feel confident, to look amazing and to rock their beauty. Red hair is more than a color, it’s a lifestyle! 

Adrienne and Stephanie are both natural redheads and have struggled to find beauty and fashion items that cater to young, trendy Redheaded women. When Stephanie was a teenager, she went blonde to “fit in,” but soon realized that being a Redhead was who she was inside and out. She went back to being a Redhead and never turned back!  As young girls, they had trouble finding “Redhead Friendly” products as most lotions caused their skin to irritate or break out. Many makeup consultants at department stores shied away when they would ask which mascara or blush matched their fair complexion. They took it upon themselves to test and try all different types of products and loved expressing their fun redhead personalities with fun pops of color in their wardrobe.

When they discovered mascara, they will never forget how beautiful they felt! The discovery of streak-free instant tan, products that help Redheaded, frizzy hair; natural but fabulous bronzers, lotions that didn’t irritate their Redheaded, sensitive skin (they could go on & on!) was revolutionary. Over the years, Adrienne and Stephanie have learned to master all of the “faking-it” and complimentary Redhead techniques. And so, having at last embraced their Red hair, they created HowtobeaRedhead.com in 2011 for Redheads throughout the world.

Since there was no place for Adrienne and Stephanie to turn to for advice, they hope redheads can finally take a sigh of relief knowing there is a finally a “ginger” community for all those beautiful, trendy, fashionable Redheads.

HowtobeaRedhead.com was a 2011 SHAPE Magazine nominee for Best Beauty Blog of 2011 and Adrienne and Stephanie were nominated by SHAPE as “What’s Hot in Beauty & Style.”

As of February 2012, Adrienne and Stephanie are Huffington Post and StyleList.com writers for their columns, Rock It like a Redhead™.

Adrienne is deemed a Redhead Beauty Expert.

Stephanie is deemed a Redhead Fashion and Accessories Expert. 

 

How to be a Redhead is headquartered in New York City, USA.

Dying Your Hair

Many women opt for box dyes to make their hair a fabulous color of red and for the most part, they usually work beautifully; but, there are some cases when the process turns into a nightmare. This can typically happen when there is blonde in the hair because the bleach can counteract with the at-home dye. Rona O’Connor is here

Your wish for sassy red hair can easily be granted without putting your hair through the agony of a toxic chemical dye. These natural dyes can be used by natural redheads or redheads “by choice” : 1. Henna is a plant which produces flowers used for many different things from cosmetics to dying wool or leather. It is becoming a trend
