“I love being a redhead because it shows the world my uniqueness!”
Updated: November 2nd, 2023
Frizzy red hair is a pain, and sometimes it feels like no matter what you do you just can’t fight the frizz. We’ve talked about products to make your red hair less frizzy, but if you’re still struggling from red hair that is super frizzy, here are a few habits you might want to kick in order to tame your mane:
Terrycloth bath towels are great for drying the water off your body, but your red hair? Not so much. Drying your hair with a towel is probably contributing to your frizz problem. Instead of a towel, try a microfiber towel turban or even a cotton t-shirt. In addition to switching up your drying tool, change your method. Rubbing creates friction which increases frizz. Try squeezing the water from your hair to reduce friction.
Introducing the How to be a Redhead Soft Microfiber Hair Towel for Redheads. Because wet hair is at its most vulnerable, this custom microfiber towel gently and carefully absorbs moisture from your red hair and dries it quickly, all while protecting it from stretching and breakage. This design is uniquely shaped to wrap all of your hair securely (no matter the length), with an elastic strap to comfortably keep things in place. Your hair journey starts here, redheads.
It’s easy to go long periods of time between salon visits, especially if you’re growing your hair. If you’re suffering from frizz in your red hair, make time to go to the salon. Getting rid of dry split ends will help to reduce frizz and the overall appearance of your hair.
Taming frizz when styling your red hair can be hard, so it might be tempting to try and reduce frizz and flyaways with a combo of heat and hairspray. While this may be a temporary fix, these two things together are causing more damage than good. The alcohol in hairspray burns when it comes in contact with your hot tools, which means your hair is getting heat damage. Apply a heat protection spray before you use your hot tools, and wait to apply the hair stay until you’re all done and ready to lock in the style.
In general, heat is bad for your hair. This applies to your shower water being too hot, as well as using tools like blow dryers and curling irons. When struggling with frizzy red hair, turn down the heat as much as possible. Wash your hair in lukewarm water and skip the hot tools. If you insist on using hot tools, always use heat protection spray and lower the temp.
If you are looking for a way to keep your red hair shiny and healthy, look no further:

One of the best colors of fall is dark red. Red is a color that many redheads tend to stay away from, but dark red is a whole other ballgame. Dark red won’t clash with your hair, it will make it pop. Dark red also looks really good on fair skin, but complements all skin tones too. Here are a few tips for rocking dark red this Redhead Season/autumn:
Choosing the right color of red for your look can depend heavily on your skin tone. If you have a warmer skin tone, opt for warmer dark reds. If your skin is more cool-toned, you might want to choose reds that are bluer or purple-based.
An easy way to start incorporating red into your outfits is to use it as an accent color. Pick one dark red piece and let that be the star of the show. If you feel like dark red clashes with your hair, opt for wearing dark red lower on your body like a skirt, pants, shoes, or a handbag. If you want to make your hair and eyes pop, wear a dark red sweater, jacket, or scarf.

Having a neutral base will help your red pop and keep your outfit from being too overwhelming. White, and ivory, as well as shades of brown and black all, go well with dark red. Dark denim is a great neutral when it comes to outfits, and it looks great with dark red.
In addition to using neutrals as a base, dark red pairs well with many other colors like pink, dark teal, and navy. Coordinating your dark red with another color can help you make a cohesive yet still colorful outfit. Here are a few visual examples of how to rock your dark red:

Purple is a beautiful color for redheads any time of the year, but especially in the fall/Redhead Season. Shades of purple will make your red hair pop and if you have green eyes, it will enhance those too! Here are a few ways to wear purple this fall:
The trick with wearing purple is to pick the right shades. There are both warm and cool-toned shades of purple, so pick the ones that line up with your skin tone, or opt for a more neutral purple. Here are a few of the best purples for redheads.
Lavender – A pale pastel lavender is a neutral purple that looks great on redheads with fair skin of all tones.
Royal Purple – This rich purple has a lot of blue tones in it and looks great on redheads with more cool to neutral-toned skin.
Mauve – Depending on who you ask, mauve can run the gamut from a grey-purple to a pinky brown. If you’re cool-toned, go for the more gray side, if you’re warm-toned, go brown.
Mulberry – This dark reddish-purple is great for those redheads with more warm to neutral skin tones.
Eggplant – An almost black-purple, eggplant is a great dark neutral for redheads of all skin tones.
Purple is one of those colors that can very easily feel overwhelming. If you want a bright outfit, balance out the purple with complimentary colors like red, yellow, or green. If you want your purple piece to pop, try pairing it with neutrals like white, ivory, black, or grey. You can also go for a more monochromatic look with different shades of purple for a really eye-catching look.
A great way for redheads to rock purple is in their makeup. Purple eyeshadow, purple liner, purple mascara, and purple lipstick can all be super fun for fall. Just don’t wear them all at once!

Perfecting the at-home pedicure it’s pretty easy, but it will take some practice. Here are a few nail tips and tricks for redheads so you can have the perfect pedicure in minutes.
It’s easy for nail polish to get missed on the edges of your toenails. Try using a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover to make sure you get it all off before you start your pedicure.
If you want the full at-home pedicure experience, soak your feet in a nice warm tub with some bath salts or bath oils to soften and cleanse the skin. Then, trim your toenails and cuticle, and dry before painting.
For a longer-lasting pedicure, try buffing your nails with a small buffing brush before painting them. Be sure to wipe away any nail dust that accumulates.
If you have smaller toenails, it can be tricky to get the polish on without making a mess. Opt for nail polish with a more narrow brush head, or use a separate brush to apply your nail polish with ease.
Keep your toenails from staining by using a base coat, and apply a gel-like top coat to ensure your pedicure lasts as long as possible.
Once your toe nails are dry, remember your toe nails are pretty forgiving when it comes to applying nail polish. If you’re having trouble staying inside the lines, don’t fret! Let your polish dry completely and then take a hot shower or soak your feet in warm water and watch the polish on the skin flake right off.

Under-eye products are one of those things we hear about and see in the stores, but most of us don’t actually start using them until it’s a little too late. It’s so important for redheads to use an under-eye products because redhead skin is thinner, it’s called couperose skin. Most people already have thinner skin under the eyes, but redheads can have even thinner skin.
Under-eye creams are usually always recommended, but under-eye serums are just as important. Here’s why redheads should heavily consider adding an under-eye serum to their beauty routine, plus a few “Redhead Friendly” recommendations:
If you’re using an under-eye cream already, you might be wondering why you need to add a serum too. Under-eye serum and under-eye cream are similar, but they hold different benefits and focus on different things. Under-eye creams target hydration and moisture of the skin under the eye. This keeps it soft, supple and nourished. Keeping the skin hydrated helps to reduce redness, dry skin, and fine lines.
Under-eye serum can help your skin stay youthful, soft, and glowing. While serums don’t provide the same moisture benefits as creams, they give your skin antioxidants and anti-aging peptides. Under-eye serums focus on combating the signs of aging, as well as specific under-eye concerns like puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles.
Don’t wait until fine lines and problem areas appear. You want to nourish the skin to prevent these issues, so it’s best to incorporate an anti-aging serum now. If you find you have a specific concern, adjust your serum to one that targets those concerns, and if not, just reap the benefits of brighter, more youthful under eyes! Under-eye serum should be used in conjunction with your other facial products to keep skin healthy and glowing.
