Hollywood’s hottest redheads
03 Jun 2012 04:54 AM | Posted by Editor
Who knew red hair could be so hot?
We may tease them mercilessly, but it looks like redheads will be having the last laugh this season, with colourists predicting big things for the fiery hue. “Colour is going to get stronger and brighter, and we’ll see a strong re-emergence of red tones. People are getting more excited about hair colour again…I think we’re entering an exciting time for colourists,” said Ian Michael Black, UK-based Colour Director for the Aveda Artistic Team, at the recent Aveda Colour Harmony Awards.
So if you’re thinking of experimenting with a new hair hue this season, break out of the blonde/brunette box and try a striking shade of red instead. With a colour range that spans from strong scarlets, vibrant gingers and rich reds, to warm chestnuts, soft auburns and strawberry-tinted highlights there’s guaranteed to be a hue to suit you.

Want your fiery hair hue to last longer? Get your hands on Aveda Madder Root Shampoo, which is specifically formulated to enhance and preserve the redness in your hair.
Which celebs do you think look best as redheads? Have you/would you ever dye your hair red?

Julianne Moore is my fave celebrity redhead - she can do no wrong because she knows what clothing and makeup colours go best with her hair and skintone. I was born with red hair, and then it changed to mousey blonde (weird huh?) but I find now that I'm older, coppery red suits my skintone best, so much so that I reckon I'll be a redhead until I'm pushing up daisies :-)

I think red heads with the pale creamy skin are amazing to look at, some of them are beautiful. My mother is a red head and she is beautiful, pale creamy skin and dark brown eyes, very striking. I am a natural strawberry blonde with green eyes but recentely dyed it more of a light copper, getting used to it. My yougest daughter is a red head with sea green eyes and pale skin, very beautiful angel.

Love the three celebs as redheads as they are different shades of red, I did go red but I think it was the wrong shade

Emma Stone is lovely and Alyson Hannigan is a great red head too.

Julianne Moore always looks great but I think all of the stars in these shots look great with red hair. I can't believe that Christina Hendricks began dyeing her hair at age 10!

Ahh, I love red hair. I'd dye my hair red but I don't think it'd suit me.

Rihanna & Isla look great as red heads. I've had red hair before & everyone liked it, may have to do it again!

Riri looks UNBELIEVABLE - I remember the first time I saw her red locks I actually did a double take. They're so daring and look amazing on her. Good one!!

That is so cool that Isla is a published author, much respect! :)
Also nice when people who are naturally another hair colour really look beautiful with red hair... It's such a sexy colour!

I've always wanted to be a redhead. My grandmother was but I ended up brownish with a bit of auburn. Love Julianne Moore. She is so pale and beautiful. That would be the hair I'd swap with!

I think Blake LIvely's hair colour is very rich and vibrant and suits her. I also think Emma Stone looks better as a redhead rather than blonde.

Julianne Moore, Isla, Florence, Emma, Alyson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Christina and even Riri, amazingly, all rock the their red hair the best, in my opinion. Personally, though, I can't stand it when people are either born with red hair or dye it red AND go overboard with the fake tan. I'm looking at a few people in Hollywood, etc!
