4 Ways to Manage and Treat Greasy Red Hair

Kick oily hair to the curb!

If you’re struggling with greasy, oily red hair and scalp this summer, it might feel like a lost cause. Oily red hair can be caused by genetics, hair products, the environment, and a variety of other factors. Before you throw in the towel and accept your fate of oily red hair, give some of these methods a try!

1. Find a wash routine

Most people with oily red hair feel like they have to wash their hair once or even twice a day. The secret to combating oily hair is finding the right wash routine. Did you know you can actually train your hair to go longer between washes? Washing your hair daily is like a reset. If you wait longer between washes your hair will naturally adjust to being reset less often. Finding the right wash routine will help you get a hold of your oily hair.

2. Use products formulated for oily hair

In addition to getting the right wash routine, it’s important to use the right products. You will want to use products that are meant for oily red hair. This will mean they are free of excess oils and can help to balance your hair’s natural oils to a more manageable level. Avoid products with silicone in them, as these products are meant to coat the strands for added shine and will make your hair look more oily.

3. Get the right brush

Most people don’t realize that having the right brush is key to dealing with oily red hair. A boar bristle hairbrush will help to pull the oils from the scalp and distribute them from roots to ends. This means your hair will be more nourished and have more shine, instead of the oils sitting on your scalp while your ends are dry.

4. Keep dry shampoo on hand

When struggling with oily red hair and an oily scalp, dry shampoo can be a lifesaver. It will help you extend the wearability of your hair and can also help to style oily hair for more grip, volume, and hold. Make sure to keep dry shampoo on hand to combat oils throughout the day.

Guide to Finding the Perfect Red Hair Dye at Your Local Drugstore

Say Goodbye to Fading Red Locks

Finding the perfect red hair dye can be a process! You might want to bring out your inner redhead, your natural red hair may be fading or you’re turning grey/white. We’ve got a few tips on finding the perfect fiery red hair dye at your local drugstore: 

1. Use the box as a guide

The first thing to do when looking for a red hair dye is look at the model on the front of the box. Find one that best resembles the look you are going for, and if you’re trying to achieve your natural color, compare it to a photo of yourself. If in doubt between two red hair dye shades, always choose the lighter one.​

2. Buy multiple colors & do a strand test

The best way to find out if a color is going to work for you is by doing a strand test. That way you can see how it looks on your hair and with your complexion. If you’re stuck between a few shades, buy them all and strand test them at home. Box red hair dye is relatively inexpensive, and it’s the perfect way to make sure you’re getting what you want before committing to dying your whole head. 

3. Buy more than you need 

When you’ve selected your color, make sure you buy more than you need. If you have short hair one box might be enough but it’s always good to buy 1-2 extras. Redheads typically have thick hair so it might take more than you think you’ll need and running out of dye part way through is never fun. Plus, you can always return any unopened boxes or save them for a touch-up if you buy way too much. 

4. Try a hair gloss

If you’re not sure about the color or the process, but want to touch up your fading red hair, check your drugstore for a hair gloss. These semi-permanent treatments are a great way to test the waters before diving in with a full dye job.

5. Get a custom shade

Can’t find what you want at the drugstore, but not ready to shell out the big bucks for a salon visit? Try ordering a custom blend to get the perfect color. eSalon and Color & Co are two great at-home options with custom colors.

5 Makeup Tips Every Redhead With Freckles Should Know

Your freckles are special, so why not show them off!

Many redheads are blessed with freckles aka sun-kisses. Freckles are beautiful and unique just like red hair, but makeup can make them look dull or even make them disappear. Some redheads may choose to cover their freckles and that’s fine, but here are a few makeup tips for the redheads who want to wear makeup, but still want to let their gorgeous freckles shine through.

1. Match your foundation to your complexion, not your freckles

Freckles are typically several shades darker than the rest of your skin. That is why it is important to select a foundation shade that matches your undertones and not your freckles. A foundation that matches your freckles will most likely be far too dark for your complexion and it will cause your freckles to blend in. 

2. Use light to medium coverage 

The lighter the coverage of your makeup, the more your freckles will have a chance to show through. Light or medium coverage foundation like CoverGirl’s Clean Fresh in Fair/Light, It Cosmetics CC cream, or even a tinted moisturizer like Laura Mercier’s work great for keeping freckles visible.

3. Avoid heavy-handed application 

Just like applying a full coverage foundation will cover your freckles, heavy application of lighter coverage products like concealers will hide your freckles as well. If you are needing a more full spot concealing or building on your coverage, try using a damp beauty blender only in those areas.

How To Use A Beauty Blender: Remember to use a tapping motion when applying concealer or foundation with a beauty blender. This will fully absorb the product into the skin. Using a sweeping or rubbing motion will wipe the product off and cause irritation. 

 

4. Make your products sheerer

If you have products you love that are more full coverage, or you need more coverage in certain areas, another great tip is to mix a little of your foundation with a lightweight moisturizer to make it sheerer. This allows you to customize the level of coverage for the perfect finish. 

5. Skip the foundation all together

The best way to show off your gorgeous freckles is to skip the foundation altogether. Try spot treating any blemishes, wearing tinted moisturizer, or just going au natural. Just don’t forget your sunscreen.

5 Best Redhead-Approved Sunscreen Mists for Your Face and Body

Another easy way to protect your skin this summer!

Using proper redhead-approved sun protection is crucial in the summer months. Due to a lack of melanin, redheads burn more quickly and more severely than those with other skin tones. Lack of sun protection can lead to sun damage on the skin, premature aging, and painful sunburns. 

One easy way to protect your skin this summer is to use sunscreen mists. Mists are great for layering on top of other ‘Redhead Friendly’ sunscreens for more protection or touching up SPF throughout the day.

Here are a few of our favorite ‘redhead approved’ sunscreen mists for redheads to try summer:

For extra sensitive skin 

COOLA Suncare Refreshing Water Mist SPF 18, $36

Perfect for sensitive redhead skin, this refreshing water mist helps keep you hydrated, refreshed, and protected no matter where your day takes you. Due to the slow SPF, this mist is best layered with another sunscreen or used on low-risk days. 

For the face + scalp

COOLA Scalp & Hair Mist Organic Sunscreen: SPF 30

Say goodbye to scalp burns and protect your hair and scalp with this organic mist sunscreen. Packed with color-protecting ingredients, this ocean-scented sunscreen spray also helps prevent UV-related color fade.

For extra hydration

Soleil Toujours Set + Protect Micro Mist: SPF 30

Pull double duty with this combo setting spray and sunscreen mist. Packed with antioxidants that calm and hydrate the skin, this mist sets makeup for a flawless finish while protecting skin from the sun. 

For the face + body

Sun Bum Mineral Continuous Sunscreen Spray SPF 30, $14

This lightweight, hypoallergenic sunscreen mist is formulated without dyes for sensitive skin. It protects from blue light and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. 

For over makeup 

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen Spray SPF 55, $15

Give your face the protection it needs with a lightweight facial sunscreen mist. This quick-absorbing mist won’t clog pores or leave you feeling heavy or greasy.

6 ‘Redhead Friendly’ Ways to Rock Second-Day Hair

Because who has time to wash and style hair every single day?

Let’s face it, we don’t always have time to wash, dry and style our red hair. If you’re going to go a day (or more) between washes, you’re going to want to take a little extra care with your red hair. Here’s how:

1. Use dry shampoo

If you’ve got greasy roots but no time for a full shampoo, spray on some dry shampoo. Not only will it soak up some of the oils, but it will also give limp, greasy hair some volume and lift. Dry shampoo will help your hair get back to a good place for styling, or simply brush it out and go. For a dry shampoo powder, try Klorane Dry Shampoo Powder with Oat Milk. For a dry shampoo spray, try Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo. 

2. Do an easy heat-free style

Greasy hair tends to be more obvious when your hair is down. Opt for an easy, heat-free hairstyle like french braids, a messy bun, a half top knot, a low chignon, or even a braid crown. Looking for some easy summer hairstyles? Check these out!

3. Add some accessories

Distract, distract, distract. Pull the focus away from your less than clean roots with some fun hair accessories. Clips and barrettes are a great way to pull the hair back, while headbands and hair scarves can actually cover the roots if needed. 

4. Switch your part

Try switching up your part to hide the greasiest areas. Everyone will notice your new look, but not your oily locks. Plus your hair will stay in its new spot more easily when it’s dirty than when it’s clean. 

 

 

 

5. Spritz on some scent

Got that greasy hair smell? Yuck! Spritz on some hair perfume to cover up any smell and give your locks a boost. Make sure you use scents made for the hair because normal perfumes can cause drying and damage. 

6. Pop on a hat

When all else fails, pop on a hat. It will cover your roots and nobody will know you haven’t washed your hair in a while! Plus a hat can help protect your face from the sun in the summer months. It’s a win-win!

10 Redhead-Friendly Oil-Free Moisturizers 

Get the hydration without the oils!

Now that we’re in the swing of summer, it’s time to start thinking about summer redhead skincare, specifically a ‘redhead friendly’ moisturizer.

9 of the Best Redhead-Approved Makeup Products with SPF

Get your glam on and protect your skin!

Keeping our redhead skin protected during the summer is so important. Overexposure to UV rays can lead to premature aging of the skin, skin spots, and even skin cancer. 

It might feel like wearing makeup is enough to protect your skin, but if that makeup doesn’t contain SPF, harmful rays are still getting to your skin. This summer, make sure your face is protected with these SPF-infused redhead-approved products!

Base Products

The best way to start your summer redhead skincare routine is right at the base. After you apply your regular sunscreen and moisturizers, add an extra level of protection.

1. Sun Bum Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm – SPF 30: An ultra-important place to add SPF is your lips. Eating, drinking, and general wear throughout the day will leave your lips vulnerable. Swipe on some SPF lip balm before you apply your lip color and reapply throughout the day as needed. 

2. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen – SPF 40: Want a sunscreen that acts as a primer? The Unseen Sunscreen from Supergoop! will make your makeup glide on. It’s weightless, scentless, and will keep your makeup gripped all day while protecting your face. 

3. Revision Skincare Intellishade Original – SPF 45: This anti-aging tinted moisturizer with sunscreen works great alone for a “no makeup” look or layered under your favorite foundation as a primer for a more full coverage look. 

Foundations

Get your skin glowing with these SPF foundations. From light to full coverage, these foundations have you and your sun protection covered.

1. ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint Foundation – SPF 40: If you want a light coverage foundation that packs a punch with SPF and skincare benefits, look no further. This lightweight skin tint will leave you with flawless summer skin. 

2. Suntegrity’s Impeccable Skin Broad Spectrum – SPF 30: The medium coverage formula of this foundation will leave your redhead skin flawless, smooth, and protected. We loved this product so much we put it in the June Monthly H2BAR Box! Let us know if you love it too. 

3. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation – SPF 50+: This full coverage foundation offers buildable coverage and maximum sun protection as well as a wide range of colors to choose from. Not only will your skin be protected, but it will also look better than ever because it helps improve skin concerns.

Concealers

Eyelids and under eyes can be major effects of sun damage. Top off your look with brightening concealers that also provide sun protection. 

1. MAC Studio Finish Concealer – SPF 35: Brighten up your under-eye or spot conceal imperfections with this lightweight cream concealer that leaves skin free of blemishes and discoloration.  

2. BareMinerals Broad Spectrum Concealer – SPF 20: Top off your look with the BareMinerals Broad Spectrum Powder Concealer. It works as an eyeshadow base, concealer for your face, or to cover dark circles and skin imperfections.

Blush and Lips

Protect and hydrate your lips and cheeks with a little pop of color.

1. Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50: This water and sweat-resistant balm can be applied to your lips and cheeks. Available in three shades. We recommend ‘blush’ if you’re a fair-skinned redhead with blue undertones.

3 Easy Tips for Growing Your Redhead Lashes Long

Get longer more beautiful lashes!

Long lashes are coveted in the beauty world, and for redheads, there’s no exception. Our typically light-colored redhead eyelashes need all the help they can get to look full and fluttery.

Here are a few tips on how to get your eyelashes to grow:

1. Try an oil

One of the best DIY ways to promote lash growth is by using an oil. They are great for those with sensitive eyes who may be adverse to lash serums. Castor oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil have all been said to help hydrate and nourish for thicker, longer lashes.

Kate Blanc Cosmetics Organic Castor Oil, $10

 

Get a clean spoolie brush and dip it in the oil of your choice and then apply like you would a mascara. Be sure to keep the oil out of your eyes. Apply nightly as needed!

2. Take biotin*

Biotin helps to promote healthy hair and nails, and your lashes are no exception. By adding a biotin supplement to your diet, you might start to see your hair and nails growing more quickly. You can also add biotin-rich foods to your diet like egg yolks, legumes, nuts, seeds, broccoli, and bananas!

3. Use a lash serum

The most scientific way to get your lashes to grow is by using a lash serum. There are both over-the-counter lash serums and prescription lash serums you can get from your dermatologist or doctor. These lash serums will help your lashes be longer, fuller, and darker. They may be harsh on those with sensitive eyes, so consult your doctor!

Need something quicker? Try a lash lift/tint: 

You might not be seeing the effects as quickly you want from these at-home lash treatments, or maybe your lashes have reached their full potential but you still want a longer look. Mascara is always an option, but sometimes it’s nice to just have better lashes when you wake up. 

A great way to make your natural lashes look longer is with a lash lift and a lash tint. By lifting and darkening the eyelashes they will appear fuller. Additionally, lash extensions are a wonderful option for those who want to skip the mascara altogether. 

*Always consult with your doctor before taking vitamins and always consult on dosage.

7 Ways To Make Your Red Hair Grow Faster So It’s Longer and Stronger

Longer, more luscious locks!

Growing out your red hair can be a long and tedious process. Sometimes it feels like your hair just isn’t growing, or it’s growing but it isn’t healthy. Here are a few tips to help you get your longest, strongest, most gorgeous red hair: 

1. Increase your biotin* intake

Biotin can help stimulate hair growth, so eating biotin-rich food or taking biotin supplements, can help you get longer hair (and nails). Biotin-rich foods include nuts, egg yolks, whole grains, and bananas. If you opt for a supplement, be sure to consult your doctor for the proper dosage for you. 

2. Adjust your diet

Changes to your diet like increased protein may help your hair thrive. Additionally, certain vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids can promote increased hair growth. This includes vitamins C, D, and E as well as iron, zinc, and omega-3s.

3. Massage your scalp

Stimulating the scalp and promoting increased blood flow is another way to get your hair to grow more quickly. Massage your scalp for several minutes in the shower while washing it, or get a professional scalp massage. 

4. Cut down on heat

Heat from curling irons, hair dryers, straightening irons can damage the hair. Cutting back on heat won’t actually make your hair grow any faster, but it will help your hair stay healthy which means less gets cut off when you get a trim. 

5. Get a trim

Like cutting out heat, getting regular trims doesn’t actually make hair grow faster. However, as the hair grows longer, it tends to get a little stringy at the ends. Regular trims help hair look and feel healthier. 

6. Check your thyroid levels* 

This is important but also a topic that must be discussed with your doctor! Prolonged hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause loss of hair. The loss usually involves the entire scalp rather than discrete areas. The hair appears uniformly sparse. Regrowth is usual with successful treatment of the thyroid disorder.

7. Be patient

At the end of the day, everyone’s hair grows at its own rate. There isn’t much you can do to speed up that process, so you just have to be patient and wait it out. Enjoy your hair at its current length by playing around with different styles. 

*We’re not medical doctors. Always consult with your doctor. If you opt for a supplement, be sure to consult your doctor for the proper dosage for you.

3 Ways To Achieve Ariel-Like Beachy Textured Waves

Your red hair will look effortless this summer!

Get the ultimate effortless look with chic beachy redhead hair waves this summer! Bring your red hair to life with this simple style that translates well from a day at the beach to a night on the town and every occasion in between. All products recommended were featured in recent summer H2BAR Boxes! Here are 3 different ways to get the beach wave look this summer:

1. Heatless beach waves

If you want an easy-breezy summer style, skip the heat! Not only is heatless better for your hair, but you’ll also wake up ready to walk out the door. 

Start with damp hair and add any styling products of your choice. We love Paul Mitchell’s Neuro Reshape HeatCTRL Memory Styler. Comb through hair to get out any tangles and separate into two to six sections. If you have ultra-thick red hair or want tighter waves, opt for more sections. If you have thin red hair or want loose waves, stick with two. 

Wrap your hair into a low bun with the tutorial below:

2. Sleek & Polished Beach Waves

If you’re looking for a more polished version of the laid-back beach wave, try using hot tools to style your locks. 

Spray in your favorite beach spray like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Wave Refresher Spray featured in the July H2BAR Box! Section your red hair. Use anywhere from a 1/2” – 1 1/2” barrel curling iron or wand depending on your hair length and comfort. If you’re a beginner, use a wand instead of a curly iron. Wrap your hair around the barrel or wand and hold for a few seconds. Alternate directions for a more natural look. Comb out your hair and spritz with Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Wave Refresher Spray for sleek beachy waves that will stay all day.

3. Almost au Naturel Beach Waves

If you want to skip the heat and get natural-looking beachy waves but aren’t near the beach, try faking it!

Take damp red hair and apply a salt spray. In the below tutorial, we use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Wave too. Get those perfectly natural-looking beachy waves and to up your look, wrap it in this fun braided ponytail.

Sunburned Lips: The Best Ways Redheads Can Soothe and Heal Them

Protect your pucker from damaging UV rays!

When your body is exposed to the sun without the proper protection, you run the risk of getting a sunburn. Did you know your lips are one of the most common places to get a sunburn? You may already know redheads are more susceptible to melanoma too. Take your lip sunburns seriously because they are extra vulnerable because they can’t be covered. Here’s how to prevent lip sunburn and heal a lip sunburn if you’ve already have one: 

How to prevent a lip sunburn

The best way to prevent sunburned lips is to apply a lip balm with SPF in it. It’s important to apply SPF even if you’re wearing lipstick because the rays can still penetrate the color and burn your lips underneath. It’s crucial you reapply your SPF throughout the day as it can be wiped away with the intake of food and water as well as by sweat and saliva. If you are wearing lipstick and don’t want to remove it to apply SPF, then find a lipstick with SPF built into the formula.

Additionally, it is important to avoid clear lip glosses and lip oils, as they will not provide any protection and may cause your lips to burn faster. 

Supergoop! PLAY Lip Balm with Acai, $10

How to heal sunburned lips 

If you are suffering from sunburned lips, there are a few ways to get relief and help them heal:

1. The most important thing is to keep them moisturized and hydrated. You can do this by increasing your water intake and also frequently applying a hydrating lip balm.

2. If you have discomfort or pain on your lips from your sunburn, try soothing it with a cooling lip balm, aloe vera gel or ice cubes or ice roller.

3. Try to avoid applying lip color to sunburnt lips as it may irritate them. 

4. Avoiding the sun is also crucial for healing sunburnt lips. If you cannot avoid going outside, try wearing a face mask or hat to reduce the direct sunlight on the lips.

5. Always wear SPF!

How Your Redhead Skin Can Benefit from Ice Rolling

Try ultra beneficial beauty hack!

Ice rolling is a beauty technique that has become quite popular in the last few years. Ice rollers can be purchased for under $15! We’ve talked about the benefits of incorporating ice into your redhead skin routine before, but ice rolling makes it easier and removes the mess of melting ice.

Use a product like this when ice rolling:

ESARORA Ice Roller for Face & Eye, $13

Read about the incredible benefits:

Minimize redness

Many redheads suffer from redness of the skin when they become warm, after a soak in the sauna, or after exercising. This can be frustrating and embarrassing if your skin is bright red. Minimize that redness by doing a few minutes of ice rolling to soothe the skin.

Reduce inflammation 

The cold temperatures help constrict blood vessels, which decreases inflammation, swelling, and puffiness (almost instantly). This can be perfect for calming puffy eyes, decreasing the size of blemishes, and reducing the appearance of broken capillaries. 

Ease pain from blemishes

If you’ve got a particularly painful pimple you might want some relief from the throbbing. Applying some ice will temporarily numb the area to ease the pain. Just be careful that you don’t apply too much ice and damage the skin.

Cool a sunburn 

If you have a sunburn you might feel the heat radiating from it. Cool that burn and soothe your skin with a little ice rolling. Not only will it help you feel better, but it will help reduce the redness of the burn.
