Red Hairstyles For 2015
Whether you're a natural redhead or want to experiment with a new colour, don't hit the salon without checking out our favourite copper hairstyles
If you’re looking to revamp your hairstyle for 2015, red hairstyles including coppery tones are being tipped by top hair colourists as the shade we’ll all be asking for in 2015. Great for lifting mature complexions, this rich red hue is adept at injecting sallow lack-lustre skin with a natural warmth and youthful glow.
The handful of redheads hitting the red carpet during this year’s award season – including; Julianne Moore, 50, Christina Hendricks, 39, and Amy Adams, 40 – are consistently outshining younger stars by snapping up high profile beauty campaigns and topping the industry’s most stylish lists – proving the theory red hair is fast becoming a style statement for every age!
Whether you want to ease into the trend with subtle strawberry blonde highlights or go for a vibrant copper all over, with flame red hair there’s no chance of fading into the background. Before you hit the salon, or pick up a box labelled ‘firey copper’, make sure you follow our advice for getting the right shade of red for your skintone. Naturally blonde? Stick to strawberry and copper hues. Dark brunettes who are noticing the first shades of grey should stick to warmer, deeper reds. And those of us in between can feel free to experiment with different shades.
With mature celebrities embracing bolder and brighter tones all the time, there’s never been a better time to go red. Choosing the right hairstyle for you is an important decision. You need to choose a colour for your hairstyle, a cut for your hairstyle and find some updos and different styles that you can do with your hairstyle on special occasions.

Ageless colour
This gorgeous hue will add warmth and depth to mature skin, while updating your look for 2015. Simply ask for light copper tones to be worked through your natural locks to get you started.
The warmer your hair shade, the shinier it'll look. Brunette and auburn hair looks shinier than blonde or grey, so 'think about adding ribbons of rich golden highlights within your pastelised copper. This will look great on all skin tones and ages, so be brave and take the plunge!' explains Headmasters Colour Ambassador, Siobhan Jones
But be warned! 'Copper hair does tend to fade quickly so always make sure you use products like deep conditioning treatments between salon visits', suggests Siobhan.

How to keep reds rich
If you are a natural redhead but want to enhance your colour, a semi-permanent dye can help to lift your locks - plus cover any greys that are starting to show. 'Choosing a warmer copper shade will automatically make your hair appear healthier and shinier too' eplains Headmasters Colour Ambassador, Siobhan Jones. 'The warmer the shade the more it reflects light.'
Show off your new rouge hue with a sophisticated up-do that will work for every occasion. Last month's Golden Globes red carpet was awash with celebrities sporting the classic bun, proving an elegant up-do never goes out of style.

Copper ponytail
Keep it natural by adding copper tones to a medium red - you don't want to end up with a flat, faux colour. Long lengths can look tired and lank if left to roam free. For an easy elegant day to night hairstyle, whip your mane into a bouncy ponytail - keeping a bit of face framing volume at the root - and channel your inner Brigitte Bardot.
