Do you often fantasise about dyeing your hair ruby-red but are too chicken to follow through? Well, that all might be about to change, because there’s no time like the present to make a bold beauty statement. Just look at these stars who’ve walked on the fiery side with their dye jobs. From soft coppers to deep mulberry tones, there’s a shade for every girl looking for a mane mix…
So, are you feeling inspired yet? Cause we sure are! In fact, we were so curious to see how we’d look with crimson locks, we fauxed our own redhead makeovers. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge, here’s all the proof you need that yes, you can totally rock the red:
bh’s Rosie
BLONDE HAIR, FAIR SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES
Bright orange-red or ginger shades create a beautiful contrast against lighter skin tones. If you have blue eyes, these orange-based hues will really make your peepers pop.
bh’s Beth
MEDIUM BROWN HAIR, MEDIUM SKIN TONE, GREEN EYES
For Beth’s skin tone and eye colour, copper is an obvious choice. Consider going a little darker at the roots to create a visual separation between your skin and hair.
bh’s Astrid
LIGHT BROWN HAIR, MEDIUM SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES
If you have yellow, olive undertones like Astrid, strawberry-red will flatter you more than cool reds, like scarlet or crimson.
bh’s Sam
DARK BROWN HAIR, FAIR SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES
Since Sam’s hair is already quite dark, going for a deeper red tone isn’t too much of a stretch. Opt for blue-red or purple-based tones, like berry and wine.
What do you think of our red hair makeovers? Are you inspired to change up your locks?
I think all the bh girls look fabulous with their red hair, plus most of the celebs. I've always wanted to be a red head but my hairdresser says it wouldn't suit me.

Kirsten is still my favourite
Emma Stone looks so different with blonde hair and then red hair.
