10 Redheads You Should Be Following on Instagram

What types of accounts do you follow on Instagram? Fashion? Beauty? Home décor? Travel? With endless options to choose from, these redheads are making their mark amongst the numerous influencers spanning Instagram.

1. Jenn Todryk (@theramblingredhead)

Jenn Todryk is a woman doing it all!  She’s raising a family, running a business, and was recently given her own show on HGTV called No Demo Reno.  And of course, she’s doing it all while maintaining a fabulous mane of red hair.  If you’re into home décor, or just enjoy funny family shenanigans, give @theramblingredhead a follow!

2. Jackie O (@jackieoshry)

Jackie is one of the queens of millennial pop culture.  Along with her sister, Claudia Oshry, she is co-creator of the podcast The Morning Toast, which goes live every weekday morning to discuss your favorite celebrities and TV shows.  If you love reality shows like The Kardashians, The Bachelor, or The Real Housewives, this podcast might be for you!  Jackie not only does her part to keep us up to date on the latest pop culture news, but also shows us that redheads should not be afraid to wear pink!  Her Instagram grid is a beautiful parade of pastels.

3. The Redheads Book Club (@thereadheads)

And speaking of Jackie O’s influence, I would be amiss not to mention one of my favorite “bookstagram” accounts—The Readheads.  Similar to other book club accounts, The Readheads choose one book a month to read and discuss on their podcast.  But they also post pictures and personal ratings of all the other books each Readhead reads throughout the month.  If you’re an avid reader, make sure to follow along and read with the Readheads.

4. Sabina Karlsson (@thesabinakarlsson)

The diversity of redheads is beautiful, and this international fashion model is a great example of that beauty.  If you appreciate models who embrace their curly red hair and freckles, then look no further than Sabina Karlsson.

5. Ellie (@thegingerwanderlust)

Have you been missing international travel as much as I have?  It’s time to start living vicariously through Ellie’s Instagram account.  This influencer’s travel photography is just as stunning as her red hair!  Give her a follow, and let this ginger inspire your next adventure!

6. Madeline Stuart (@madelinesmodeling_)

Madeline Stuart is the world’s first super model with Down’s Syndrome, and she rocks her red hair up and down the runway!  Madeline exudes kindness, confidence, and courage.  Follow her on Instagram to see for yourself.

7. Rosie (@rosietheginger)

Rosie is a British YouTuber and blogger with the most fabulous makeup and red hair tutorials.  She is also a Fashion Design graduate and showcases her womenswear line on her other account @_rosie_ro.  She is the queen of peachy tones, but loves to rock a bold lip on occasion, and I’m sure you will love her looks just as much as I do!

8. Christene Barberich (@christenebarberich)

I can’t forget to mention Christene Barberich, another fashion queen, New York Times best-selling author, and co-founder of Refinery 29.  This redhead does not shy away from a bold print or a bold lip.  She is an avid thrifter, and I love following her account to see the diversity of her sometimes thrifted, sometimes high-end fashion choices.

9. Audrey Mirabella Roloff (@audreyroloff)

Audrey is a New York Times best-selling author, wife, and mother whose Instagram influence focuses on marriage and family.  Her Instagram account is incredibly uplifting and wholesome, featuring pictures of her adorable family’s life on a farm and her fierce mane of red curls.

10. Amber Venz Box (@ambervenzbox)

Blogger turned entrepreneur, Amber is the creator of LikeToKnow.it and RewardStyle, connecting digital content creators with brands and retailers.  So, she is basically the influencer of influencers.  Most of the Instagram influencers asking you to “swipe up” or click the link in their bio have Amber to thank for this convenience.

Don’t you just love a group of powerful redheaded women? Give these accounts a follow, and let us know what you think!  We’d also love to hear about any other influencers you follow who are rocking it like a redhead!

4 Reasons Redheads Should Use Bar Soap Over Body Wash

Looking for a new way to cleanse your skin?

Whatever you use to clean your body in the shower, you want to make sure it’s getting the job done. You also want to make sure it’s redhead-approved and doesn’t irritate your sensitive skin. One option that’s making a comeback is bar soap. If you’re looking for a new form of body wash to use in the shower, consider using bar soap. Here are a few of the benefits:

1. More cost-effective

A single bottle of body wash or shower gel from the drugstore on average costs about $5 – $7, while the average bar of soap from the drug store costs about $2 – $3. There are cheaper and more expensive options depending on what brand you buy, but on average, bar soap is about half the price of body wash or shower gel. You can also buy bar soap in packs that lower the cost even more. 

READ: Spend vs. Save — Where to Invest In Your Redhead Skincare

2. Safe for sensitive redhead skin

Because of the way bar soap is made, it’s easier to make it hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. There are certain ingredients that need to go into bottled liquid soap products to ensure they last, but bar soap doesn’t always need those same ingredients. It’s also relatively easy to find unscented bar soap, whereas finding unscented body wash or shower gel usually means you’re paying a premium in price. 

READ: How To Tell If A Beauty Product is Safe For Redhead Sensitive Skin

3. Great for shaving

If you buy a bar soap with good lather, it can be used for shaving legs and underarms instead of shaving cream. Simply wet a loofa and work up a lather with your bar soap. Apply to your body and shave like normal. This means you have one less product to buy and it’s perfect for travel!

4. Less plastic waste

One of the worst parts about body wash and shower gel is the amount of plastic waste they produce. If you use a bottle every 1-3 months, you’re adding 4-12 bottles to the landfill every year. That might not seem like a lot but over a 30-year span, that’s hundreds of bottles wasted. Bar soap comes in a lot less packaging, and you can even get bar soap that’s unwrapped or wrapped in recyclable paper to reduce waste.

Multipurpose Makeup Guaranteed to Simplify Your Redhead Makeup Routine

Make the most out of your beauty bag, redheads!

Having redhead-approved makeup products that pull double duty in your routine can be a money saver, a space saver, and a time saver. Multi-use products are perfect for when you’re traveling and don’t want to bring your full kit, or when you’re doing your makeup on the go. Multi-use products can also be a lifesaver for when you run out of your favorite items, and knowing you can save time and money with a ‘Redhead Friendly’ stamp of approval is always a win-win.

Check out these genius ways to get the most out of your redhead makeup routine: 

1. Bronzer: For Cheeks + Eyeshadow

Using bronzer as eyeshadow allows you to use fewer products, and it helps your look be cohesive. Swipe a little bronzer on the lid as a base for your eye look, or wear it alone for a more natural look. Plus, this works with both cream and powder bronzers!

‘Redhead Friendly’ Recommendation: Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer | Becca Cosmetics Sunlit Bronzer

$10

$24

 

2. Dual Power: Lip & Cheek Tint

Bring some color to your face with a dual lip and cheek tint. The blush colors that blend naturally on your cheeks will also look great on your lips for a simple lip look.

‘Redhead Friendly’ Recommendation: ILIA Color Haze Multi-Use Pigment | Milk Makeup Mini Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick

$32

$20

 

3. Highlighter: Wherever the sun hits the skin & inner eye eyeshadow

The pearlescent color you love to pop on the center of the lid and the inner eye can be achieved with highlighter! Use either a cream or powder highlighter and get a seriously gorgeous glowy look. Then, apply the highlighter where the sun hits your face: cheekbones, base of nose and top of eyebrows.

Redheads Recommend: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Highlighter | Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls Highlighter

$30

$12

3. Clear Mascara: For Brows + Mascara 

Tame your redhead eyebrows while adding some length to your lashes. Clear gel is perfect for a no-makeup makeup look and it’s a beauty bag staple for taming those brows.

Why Red Hair is the Ultimate Fall Accessory

It isn't called Redhead Season for nothing!

Fall is the absolute best time to be a redhead and one of the reasons why is because red hair is the perfect autumn accessory!  We call this time of the year Redhead Season for a very good reason.

Here are even more reasons red hair is the ultimate fall accessory: 

1. Red hair goes with absolutely everything

Some people say redheads shouldn’t wear certain colors (like red or pink), but we disagree. We think redheads can rock autumn shades of orange, yellow, and red better than anyone else. It’s all about confidence and knowing your style. Red hair is the perfect way to make a statement this Fall with every outfit you wear.

  3. Yes, Redheads Can Wear Yellow – Here’s How

2. Red hair matches the aesthetic

What feels more like fall than literally having the colors of the season on your head? Red hair vibes perfectly with pumpkin spice season, and you’ll always have the aesthetic during the Redhead Season months. 

3. You can dress it up or dress it down

Who doesn’t love an accessory you can dress up or down? Wear your red hair in a messy bun or ponytail for casual days, or glam it up with big Hollywood curls or an updo when you’re feeling fancy. Red hair is an accessory you can rock no matter the occasion. 

4. It’s unique and makes you special

Great accessories make you look great and that’s just what red hair does. It’s unique and makes you special, which makes you beautiful, so rock your red hair this fall, because you were made for it.

Redhaed Bonus:

Finally Glossy® Shine & Luminosity Shampoo for Redheads

The best redhead-season hair accessory is shiny red hair! It took many years to custom-make the Finally Glossy® formula and we’re so excited for redheads to enjoy it. We’re thrilled to release another clean redhead beauty product. It is paraben-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, petroleum-free, mineral-oil, and vegan. It also contains no perfume, is free of gluten and is silicone-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free and cocamidopropyl betaine-free.

Get natural-looking long red hair in seconds!

National Love Your Red Hair Day is just a few days away and what better way to celebrate than with ‘Redhead Friendly’ hair extensions.

It can be very difficult to find extensions to match the different shades of red hair, but Cliphair Hair Extensions offers a wide variety of red shades. They are also made with top-quality Remy hair (considered the finest quality of human hair).

The redhead hair extensions are a great way to add volume and length to your red hair right at home –– without the expense and time of going to a salon. Clip-in hair extensions come with the clips already attached to them. This means you can simply  clip them into your hair all by yourself, without any additional costs, time, or professional help. Clip-in hair extensions are the perfect solution for those who are looking to get thicker hair and longer red hair instantly, without the hassle, long-term commitment or breaking the bank.

Cliphair sent three red shades for us to test and try: Light Auburn, Dark Auburn and Ginger Red.

Stephanie went for the ’16 inch because her natural hair comes just above her collarbone and chose the Light Auburn shade. Adrienne opted for the ’24 inch since her red hair is very long and chose Dark Auburn shade from the Cliphair collection.

The 5 Biggest Fall Makeup Trends for Redheads

Hottest trending makeup looks!

Looking to change up your redhead makeup look for fall? Here are some of the hottest trending makeup looks for Redhead Season and how you can achieve them: 

1. Kitten Eyeliner

We all know the cat eyeliner trend, well this fall we are toning it down a little with a smaller version. You can achieve this look with a shorter thinner more subtle flicked-out wing that helps define the lash line. 


2. Lush Lashes

Fuller lashes are trending for fall, and you can achieve the look by layering your mascara, applying dramatic falsies, getting lash extensions for full-time glam, or embracing your natural lashes and giving them a curl. 

3. Bronzed Nudes

Warm bronzy nudes are hot for fall and you can rock this monochromatic makeup look by coordinating your eye shadow, bronzer, and lip colors for a warm glowy look

4. Vampy Lips

A Fall trend that never dies is a dark vampy lip. We are seeing celebs and makeup artists leaning more towards a big bold lip, especially in darker shades for fall. 

SPOILER: A “vampy lip” is inside the November H2BAR Box. Subscribe now!

5. Graphic Liner

We talked a lot about bold eyeliner for summer, and it’s here to stay for fall. This look is quite the opposite of the kitten liner trend and is perfect for a fun night out. Try out different liner colors and dramatic wings to get this look.

3 of the Best Ways to Combat Dry Redhead Skin This Fall

Redhead Season is All About Better Skin

In the later months of the year comes a change in the weather, which can often lead to dry redhead skin. Combatting dry skin in the fall will help you maintain soft, nourishing skin well into winter when the real dryness kicks in. Here are a few of the best ways to combat dry skin for redheads:

1. Hydrate

Drinking water is the number one way to keep your skin looking and feeling great. Most of us are barely drinking enough water to sustain our body’s health, let alone allow our skin to be glowing and hydrated. As the weather gets colder, increase your water intake for better-looking skin.

2. Exfoliate 

Combat dry skin by getting rid of it. Exfoliating is super important in the colder months to keep skin healthy. Not only does it promote good circulation, it removes dead, dried skin and allows your skincare products to actually soak in your healthy skin that needs hydrating. 

Exfoliating can be done from head to toe with the right products. If you’ve got sensitive skin like most redheads, opt for light exfoliants for the most sensitive parts of your body like your face and neck. Dry brushing is a great way to exfoliate your legs and arm and it will also promote detoxification, improve circulation, reduce the appearance of cellulite, stimulate the lymphatic system, and of course, expose supple, soft skin.

3. Moisturize

Your skin needs moisture from the inside and the outside. Opt for a heavier moisturizer for both your face and body during the fall months, and be sure to focus on areas that can get particularly dry like knees, elbows, feet, and hands. It can also be good to add moisturizing facial oil into your routine to nourish the skin.

Best Ways to Change Up Your Hair Without Losing the Red

Even redheads can make a drastic hair change

For many redheads, dying your hair is a big commitment. Many natural redheads have a hard time enhancing their locks, some natural redheads want to go back to vibrancy and for redhead ‘choice’, it can be constant trips to the salon. Red hair grows quickly and natural red roots take a lot of time, money and upkeep to cover. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t have the desire to change up our look every once in a while.

Here are a few ways to change up your hair without losing your rare red: 

1. Chop It Short

A great way to change up your look is to make a dramatic chop. You can keep your gorgeous red color but have a whole new style.

2. Get Extensions

Just like cutting off your hair, adding hair can change your style dramatically. Adding lots of volume or length will give you a whole new look and new hair to try different styles on.

3. Try Out Some Bangs

Bangs are a great way to change up your look. Try something low maintenance like curtain bangs, or go big and bold with blunt bangs. 

4. Change Your Part

If you want something low-key with little commitment, try changing your part. If you rock a side part now, try a defined middle part. If you’re rocking a middle part already, try a side part.

5. Get Highlights

Add texture and dimension to your hair with some highlights. It can help lighten your hair without changing the base color so you’ll still be rocking your natural red. Tip: This can be a major step for natural redheads. Search hard and long for the perfect hair colorist.

Can Redheads Rock Money Piece Hair?

Would you dye a piece of your hair for this trend?

You may have seen the ever-popular “money piece” hairstyle trending recently. The style consists of dying the front two strips of your hair a different color for some contrast around the face. 

You might be wondering, can redheads rock the money piece look? Yes! This trend, like highlights, is great for redheads because it’s a way to change up your look without losing your red. 

Opt for some light caramelly blonde piece, or go bold with platinum blonde. If you’re feeling really spicy you could even try out a fun color in your money pieces. If you don’t want to bleach your hair, you could try doing a reverse money piece and going darker in front. If you are really having, you can go brown or dark to really have a contrast. 

Just remember, it’s only hair and it will grow back, so rock those money pieces while you rock your red!
