Fall is the perfect time to switch things up with a new redhead haircut. Getting a new cut can be scary if you don’t know what you want. Well here are a few tips to help you decide which haircut you should get!
One thing you can’t do with a haircut is adding hair on (unless you get some ginger extensions) so be sure to consider the length you have now. If your hair is chin or above it may be considered “short”. If your hair is chin to collarbone it may be considered “medium”. If your hair is longer than that it’s considered “long”.
Do you like your current style but just need some shaping and upkeep? You’ll want to just get a trim and maybe add some layers. If you want to make a big change, consider chopping off a few inches, adding layers, or getting bangs.
If you’ve always had hair around the same length, it can be a big change to get used to something shorter. Consider your lifestyle and how much effort you want to put into your hair. If you are super active or like to wear your hair up, don’t go for anything shorter than your collarbone.
Thinning and layers can help shape your hair and reduce some weight. Consider if you want to do either of these things prior to getting a cut. Let your stylist know you want one or both of these changes made so they can adjust the cut accordingly.
If you’re thinking of getting bangs, consider how they will look with your current hairstyle. You may need some blending or may even want to shorten it up a bit to match your new fringe.
Once you’ve determined what your needs and wants are for length and style, start looking up styles online to find the perfect cut. Select a few photos you like and bring them to your stylist for your new fall look.

Redheads, if you’re ready to change up your nails for fall, here are a few ideas to get you inspired for your next trip to the salon, or even your next at-home manicure:
It’s time to ditch the bright colors of summer for some dark, moody fall nails like deep purple, dark red, or black.

What better way to get into the spirit of the spooky season than with Halloween-themed nails. Try cute ghosts, spooky symbols, or tiny pumpkins on your nails.

Let the fall leaves inspire your color palette and try mustard nails, brown nails, or rust-colored nails.

You can’t go wrong with nudes and neutrals in any season, so try a skin tone flattering neutral or even a gradient of neutral colors.

Another color that never goes out of style is a classic red. It looks good on every shape and length and is perfect for fall.

Redhead Season (aka fall/autumn) is our favorite season of all. It is the time when leaves match red hair and autumn-themed jewel tones look fantastic on redheads too. It’s really our time to shine! We always want to make the Redhead Season themed H2BAR Boxes special, and this year we did just that. Over 17 products were included in the Deluxe H2BAR Box with a total value of $315+!
Take a look inside:
An in-shower conditioner to help tame fly-aways and define curls, all while leaving hair feeling feather-light and voluminous. Did you know natural redheads should purchase products that say “for color-treated hair” ( just like this conditioner)? Most natural red hair is coarser and needs a lot of moisture. Products marketed as “for color-treated hair” moisturize and don’t strip (natural) color!
We’re all transitioning from summer to fall, and this shade is simple and gorgeous. It’s a full-coverage matte liquid lipstick in a beautiful light nude pink shade.
The color for Redhead Season! This stunning, non-sticky, and hydrating lip gloss has a highly addicting rolling doe-foot applicator that spins evenly across your lips. And, it’s 100% vegan!
We’re excited to introduce you to this makeup brand! The items are clean for sensitive skin with natural and organic ingredients.

Redheads, knowing your skin type can be extremely helpful for buying skincare products because each type of skin needs something different. Additionally, it can be helpful when buying ‘Redhead Friendly’ makeup, because the type of skin you have may determine how your makeup sits on the skin, what type of setting you need to do, and what products to avoid.
Here are a few ways to help you determine your redhead skin type:
Your skin shouldn’t feel like it’s too oily or dry. Normal skin is usually not prone to breakout and you will have minimal texture to your skin.
More articles on normal skin can be found here.
If you notice a lot of excess oils on your skin, you may have an oily skin type. Your face may often appear greasy or shiny even when washed. Oily skin may also be prone to breakouts.
More articles on oily skin can be found here.
If you notice your skin is feeling tight and dry, or you see flakes of skin appearing around your face, you may have dry skin. Your skin may feel itchy or red.
More articles on dry skin can be found here.
If your skin is dry in some spots and oily in others, you may have combination skin. Typically you will see the oils around your T zone, but your cheeks may be on the drier side.
More articles on combo skin can be found here.
Most redheads have sensitive skin, which means your skin may react negatively to things that are fragranced, contain dyes or are highly exfoliating. Sensitive skin can also be combined with any of the other types of skin.
More articles on sensitive skin can be found here.
1. Watch Test: One way to determine your skin type is to simply watch it in its normal state. Try washing your face and then letting it dry for about 30 minutes. Don’t apply moisturizer or any other products. You will most likely start to see if there are dry or oily areas.

2. Blot Test: If you believe you may have oily skin, you can try using oil blot sheets. Simply press the sheets against clean skin and see how much oil comes away with the sheet.
3. Online Test: There are lots of online tests you can perform that will help you determine your skin type just by answering a few questions.
4. Dermatologist Test: If you’re struggling with determining your skin type and are having trouble with finding products to help combat your skin concerns, try visiting a dermatologist for a more in-depth diagnosis.

Brands are making more and more colors and we’re getting more options, but the options are unfortunately still limited. Here are five foundations that come in Redhead-Friendly options!

Facial oils are great for slowing down signs of aging, keeping skin supple and soft, and enhancing your skin’s natural glow. Depending on your skin type, you might be wondering how the heck to incorporate a facial oil into your redhead skincare routine. Facial oils can be used by all redheads with different skin types, from dry to oily (yes, oily!) and everywhere in between.
Some oils can be applied straight to your skin during your regimen. Apply a few drops to clean hands or straight to your face and rub in a gentle upward circular motion. Focus on the areas where you are most prone to wrinkles, dry patches, or signs of aging. You’ll want to do this step after cleansing, toning and applying your serums. This application is great for those with normal or dry skin.
Another great way to incorporate an oil into your redhead skincare routine is to add a few drops to your moisturizer. This can help to spread the oils evenly and nourish your face all over. Adding it to a moisturizer is a great option for those with oily skin and combination skin.
If you want to add a little glow to your look, try adding a few drops of your oil into your foundation. Add it sparingly and make sure you set it well. This method is preferable for those with dry skin and works best in the colder months when you aren’t at risk of adding sweat to the mix.
If your face feels dry or tight after removing your makeup and cleansing, try adding some oil into the mix with an oil-based cleanser. It will help to nourish the skin and allow full penetration.
Regardless of which method you use, make sure you’re also using a hydrating moisturizer and staying hydrated by drinking enough water. The combination of the three will lead to soft glowy skin!

Redheads shouldn’t stop their haircare routine when you step out of the shower. A leave-in conditioner is a great way to get softer, more nourished hair. All hair types can benefit from the use of leave-conditioners, but especially those who need some extra moisture and hydration, so consider adding one of these leave-ins to your routine:
