If you prefer a subtle seasonal change, the word orange might make you think, “This is not for me!” Orange doesn’t necessarily mean you should be bold and flamboyant.

You can experiment with orange tips, wigs, protective styles, and highlights to get a feel for orange without having to go all out. We spoke to Rachel Redd, celebrity colorist Mark DeBolt and brand ambassador for Mizani Redken. Continue scrolling for more information.

ORANGE HAIR SHADES

Selecting the right shade: Redd says that it is important to determine if your skin has cool or warm undertones before you can choose the shade. There are many orange and copper tones, ranging from cool or ash to warm to red. Copper-gold shades are best for olive skin tones, while copper-red shades complement deeper tones that have warmer undertones. She says that it all depends on your preference.

Maintaining the orange color: The location and how it is placed will affect how often you have to touch it up. Debolt recommends that you touch up your orange color every four to six weeks if it is a uniform color. For lighter or darker orange highlights, Debolt suggests that you do a 12 week interval.

Redd notes that it is possible to turn dark hair orange with no bleach, but this depends on several variables. We are informed that if the hair has not been colored with dyes or tints, and it isn’t naturally dark, then you don’t need to bleach the hair to get a copper/orange color. “The preexisting undertones in dark hair are red, orange-red and orange-red. It’s easy to get a vibrant look with the warmth already present in your hair.”

DeBolt also suggests that you highlight your hair if it has been darkened in the past. This will give you an advantage when choosing a hair color. “If you have highlighted your hair, it is not necessary to lighten it to add orange.”

To keep your curls healthy, you should schedule a weekly deep conditioner and a monthly protein treatment.
