20 Oct We’re Calling for a Red Revival!
WE’RE CALLING FOR ARed Revival!
A unique, playful and highly adaptable colour
In Greek Mythology, red-heads are believed to have descended from Prometheus himself, bringer of fire! Could this be the reason why red-heads are known for the fiery temperament that accompanies their flaming locks?
Nevertheless, the colour red is certainly a colour that divides opinion, natural redheads often spend their early years avoiding the stigma of their red hair.
This Autumn, we are asking… why? We’re calling for a Red Revival!
Red is a unique, playful and highly adaptable colour that allows you to stand out from the crowd, and natural born redheads are practically superheroes! Did you know that natural redheaded women require 19 percent more of the anaesthesia to be put to sleep than women with dark hair? Or that redheads can change temperature quicker? Redheads can also produce their own Vitamin D!

We want to celebrate this magical hair colour, so we thought we would talk about the best ways to enhance a natural auburn hue and the various shades of red available to you, if you would like to achieve this iconic colour with a little help from your Stylist!
It’s time to take the leap and colour your hair the shade that P.G. Wodehouse described as ‘Dangerous!’
