Ginger hair colours

Ginger hair is a great way to make a statement this fall. This fiery color can be tailored to suit any complexion. It also goes well with all the cozy sweaters and fall foliage.

Going Ginger could be the next step in your color quest if you want to enhance your naturally reddish hair or transform your dark brown, platinum, or black locks.

We will show you how to achieve the perfect ginger color, explain the best way of maintaining the shade and showcase some of our favorites.

What color is ginger hair?

You’re not alone in asking, “What is the color of ginger hair?” It can be difficult to pinpoint this beautiful but elusive shade. Ginger hair, a shade slightly softer than the sun setting in red-orange, can be worn alone or with subtle highlights to create a more dynamic look. Try it with darker roots to give it a brooding look.

You need to lift your hair a bit to achieve vibrant, ginger locks that are rich in color. You must bleach your hair before applying ginger hair dye if it is naturally dark. Your stylist will help you achieve healthy hair before you leave the salon. Bleach can cause damage. You can also ask your stylist to use high-quality lighters to preserve hair integrity during service. For example, Redken’s Power 9 Bonder offers nine levels in one application.

Is Ginger’s hair orange or red?

We would argue that Ginger is not red or orange but a spectrum that includes both shades. The ginger hair shade you choose should be based on your preferences and complement your complexion. Golden ginger colors with a golden hue work best on calm, fair skin. A darker blend leans towards auburn and is more flattering for dark skin shades.

Is ginger hair color rare?

It’s hard to define “rare,” but we would say that it is less common than brunettes, blondes, and black hair. The natural ginger hair color is rarer still–only 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population are born with it.

How to maintain ginger hair color?

It would help if you increased your hair care regimen to prevent premature fading between salon visits. The Matrix Keep Me Vivid shampoo + conditioner duo is a multi-protecting formula that’s sulfate free for color-treated locks. It can help you preserve your unique shade. Add a moisturizing Hair Mask such as Biolage Professional Colour Last Deep Treatment Pack Multi-Use Hair Mask, and a bond repairing treatment such as Redken acidic Bonding Concentrate intensive Treatment into your routine to keep your hair nourished and soft for weeks after your appointment.

Red dye molecules tend to fade more quickly than any other color, so we recommend having a pigment-restoring hair topcoat handy. Pureology’s Colour Fanatic Top Coat & Tone Red or Tone Copper will refresh and restore the vibrant color of your ginger hair while adding brilliant shine.

Ask your colorist for personalized advice if you need clarification on the right products for your hair care regimen. Keep the experts near you to get the perfect ginger color. They can guide you through caring for your hair, from touching the roots every few months to providing a step-by-step procedure.

Bright Auburn

Auburn is a more prosperous, darker version of Ginger. It can also add a more vibrant touch to the natural Ginger. This brown color may make you think of autumn leaves, but it is a great statement color for all seasons.

Strawberry Ginger

Want to go for a subtler way of wearing ginger hair? Strawberry Ginger is a warm alternative to auburn and sandy red.

Electric Ginger

This orange-tinted Ginger promises a vibrant look without the color explosion of neon orange.

Golden Copper

You don’t need to sacrifice your light brunette tone to achieve a stunning ginger color! Copper-toned Ginger will complement medium or soft skin tones.

Deep Ginger

Spend a little extra on a mix of dark and lighter tones to give a sultry spin to a classic color. The deep ginger color is a variation of the traditional red-orange. This gives ladies with darker skin tones another way to create a striking look.

Metallic Ginger

A metallic Ginger hue will add a touch of shine to any new look! Warm tones counteract the metallic nature of colors to create a gingery orange shade. This color is not only for fair or cool-toned complexions. Use a hair oil like Shu Uemura Art of Hair Nourishing Protective Hair Oil to enhance the metallic shine.

Golden Brown

This golden-brown ginger blend is perfect for ladies who don’t want to give up their dark brown shades. It has a similar effect but on the darker side of the spectrum. This shade will complement dark to medium skin tones and blend seamlessly into a brunette.
