10 Redhead Beauty Must-Haves This Month

As we wrap up October, we’re looking back at all our beauty favs for the month. Redheads require specific beauty products and this is the true foundation and purpose when HowtobeaRedhead.com was founded in 2011. We have unique hair and skin characteristics that can greatly benefit from specialized care. Here are a few reasons why we need specific redhead-approved items:

1. Skin Sensitivity: Many redheads have fair and sensitive skin, which can be more prone to sunburn and irritation. We may need sunscreen with higher SPF, hypoallergenic makeup, or skincare products designed for sensitive skin.

2. Hair Care: Red hair is often finer and more delicate than other hair types, so specific shampoos and conditioners can help maintain its color and texture. Additionally, red hair can be more prone to fading, so products formulated for color-treated hair may be beneficial.

3. Makeup Shades: Redheads often have unique undertones in their skin and require makeup products in shades that complement their hair and complexion. This includes choosing the right foundation, lipstick, and blush colors.

4. Sun Protection: Given our stereotypical fair skin (although redheads are from all ethnicities and nationalities around the world), redheads may need to be diligent about sun protection. This may involve using specific sunscreens, wide-brimmed hats, and protective clothing.

While redheads may not always require entirely separate beauty products, choosing items that cater to their specific needs can enhance their beauty routines and help them maintain their unique look. From haircare to skincare and everything in between, we know you will love these 10 ‘Redhead Friendly’ Approved products just as much as we do:
