When Adrienne & Stephanie Vendetti, the sisters the co-founders behind How to be a Redhead, originally launched the brand in 2011, they wanted to launch a “red beauty box”. But, they knew they had to build an audience first. Fast forward to 2015 and How to be a Redhead now has over 100,000+ social media followers, and a loyal readership of 500,000 unique views per month.
The website only features products that are ‘Redhead Friendly’ approved. This means all items are always free of heavy chemicals & complement red hair.
H2BAR, the acronym for How to be a Redhead, and is the name of the 1st ever redhead subscription box. The How to be a Redhead team now works meticulously to find products that meet the ‘Redhead Friendly’ seal of approval and is proud to deliver them to the doorstep of every redhead each month.
