An apology
I am so sorry I haven’t updated in a very long time. This past couple weeks have been difficult school-wise.
And then with the earthquake/tsunami devastation in Japan, I’ve been following that constantly since it happened. I find myself crying daily because the things I’m seeing on these Japanese news channels are so devastating.
I am in no state to update this blog right now,...

Red Spotlight: Florence Welch
Well, I said I’d start doing spotlights on awesome famous redheads. And I thought since Florence was on the Oscars last night, this would be a perfect time to do it!
If you think you’ve been seeing this woman everywhere, it’s because you have! She performed at the VMA’s, the Grammys, and then the Oscars last night! I first found out about her on the VMA’s back in...
verored asked: hi, sorry if you get this a lot, but what is your natural hair color? I wanted to try feria and I like your results, so I was wondering what you started with. Thanks!

I started dying my hair fully red in October 2009. I dyed the underside a fire engine red a few times to see if I liked red on me, which I obviously did :] I use Garnier Fructis hair dye. I’ve used several different colors because I couldn’t remember which color I used previously and now they kind of all mix together and look like I have different shades instead of just one flat...

Keep 'em coming!
I just wanted to remind you all to keep submitting not only your questions, but pictures of yourself and your red hair! Make sure to include what dye you used, and any other product recommendations.
Sorry I haven’t been able to update as much as I want. These past two weeks have been the busiest of the semester so far!

Impromptu product review: Dove Damage Therapy...
I know it’s 1am and I should be doing my Japanese homework BUT I just bought some new shampoo today and I must share it with you.
Dove Damage Therapy Color Repair
I just bought the shampoo and conditioner today at Wal-Mart and I just used it. The reason why I chose to buy it is kind of funny actually…I was walking up and down the shampoo isle, looking for different color...

I’m from Mexico, so i guess this whole ‘dye-thingy’ is way differente here, anyways, i’ve used like 4 different types of red but the one that i’ve liked the most and used the most is this:
i like it ‘cause you can get a pretty bright red but at the same time is like orage-ish, so yeah… the result is this:
recently i added some orange to my red hair and i...

I’ve been dyeing my hair red for a few years now and have avoided bleaching it the entire time. I use L’Oreal Excellence HiColor for dark hair (Sizzling Copper). I believe the instructions say to use 20 volume developer, but I use 30.
As far as shampoo goes, I don’t use any fancy shampoo, but I wash my hair every other day in cold water and deep condition once a...
rissapoodle asked: First off, yey for red hair dye. This blog was a good idea.
Second, I need help. I dye my hair from a box red pretty much every six weeks and have been for sooo long now. I like to switch up the colors of red. My preferred dye is Feria in Ruby Fusion or Ruby Rush. Now I wanna go lighter though, more like an orangey red. But every time I try to lighten it, it doesn't take and...

Apologies, and a project for everyone!!
I am soooo sorry that I’ve been MIA for a few days. It’s been a crazy past few days and weekend!
Who watched the Grammys? Hayley Williams and Florence Welch were representing the redheads ;) (and Rihanna, I suppose haha)
Speaking of redheaded celebrities! One thing I would like to do on this blog is do posts that spotlight famous redheads, such as Florence and Hayley, like I...
whitewhales asked: Hey! I was the anon that suggested people posting their pictures and the type of dye they used :) I'm glad you liked my suggestion. I'm actually typing this now as I'm dying my hair red again (using Wella's demipermanent Fiery Red, it stays a while for it being a demi).
I really like what you're doing here. I have a few comments to make on previous...

livinlavidal0aded asked: love this blog. this was genius! i was wondering since red hair fades easily is it healthier to do the routine touch ups with permanent hair dye or semi-permanent hair dye?
im not a pro at this so im sorry if this is a dumb question ;)

potlust asked: I've been bleaching my hair for a few years now, and I've recently been dying to dye my hair red again. But, from experience, I know red doesn't last very long, especially once it's been applied to hair as light as mine. Do you have any ideas on what dyes(boxed or professional, either works) that might last a tad longer in super blonde hair? Or any tips for making it last...
sadierex asked: I am a trained cosmetologist and I have to agree with the person who mentioned "strangling hair follicles".
I have glanced over what's been posted and while I don't have much issue with it, as a non-professional it's harder to give accurate information. Even among professionals, older stylists often practice poor technicques, the choice in beauty school...

To All My New Followers
I am eternally grateful to fuckyeahredhair for promoting my blog! I am a bit overwhelmed by all of the influx of messages, and it’s really testing my knowledge haha :)
I’m hoping that this blog can not only be about me sharing my tips with you, but a collaborative effort of us red heads sharing information and knowledge with each other!
If someone asks me a question and I’m not...
lonelyassassin asked: Do you have any recommendations for a girl with very dark brown hair and easily tanned skin who has always envied redheads?
I'd love to dye my hair, but I would look disastrous as a blonde. And bleaching has always seemed like the only way to let any color show up in my hair. Also, because of my skin tone, most reds seem like they would look all sorts of wrong.
I hope this...

lunafirefly asked: I just came across your blog, and I must say as a follow dyed red head, I think this may come in handy :]
I do have a suggestion as well. I know that dying can be harsh on hair so I was wondering if you'd ever consider posting anything about how to take care of your hair after dying to get a bit moister and health back in it?

more-or-less-human asked: I have ti agree with anon, having people share what hair dyes they use would be pretty cool. I have a problem with dyes because my hair doesn't hold them well at all, but I've been using the same kind for a while because it's for dark hair and I don't have to bleach it first.
... And now I'm rambling. But yes, You should have people submit things like that. :D

lucky--cat asked: I'm a natural redhead, and i was wondering if you knew of any good red hair shampoos that are still on the market. I used to always use John Frieda Radiant Red products, which unfortunately are no longer in stores :( But if anyone can find the color glaze it is FANTASTIC! I love it so much i order a bunch from amazon and its worth every penny!
tattootaffy asked: all the products you show on your page contain silicates and therefore have been proven on many occasions to strangle the hair follicles, why use them..?
Anonymous asked: you should have people post pictures of their hair and what dye they used! there are billions of red dyes out there (nearly literally) and it'd be good to see them all.
itcanbeimperfect asked: Cute blog! You seem like a fun girl with a good sense of humor! I like your writing and tips as well! I've been thinking of dying my hair red since last june...haven't done it yet. I'm not sure anymore since about 75% of my school's female population have been trying this color more often now. I wanted to be unique. Anyway, I was thing of dying it with henna, a non-permanent...

Hey, hello followers new and old! I’m sorry. I wanted to post this article yesterday but I had to deal with other things. But now I’m back and ready to share my knowledge!
Time for an answer to the age-old question: “what shampoo/conditioner should I use?” I’m only going to address the three shampoos that I have used, because I really have no right to talk about...

The science of red
This next post is an important one, because it concerns with keeping the radiance in your red hair for as long as possible. As I’ve said before, red is the hardest color to keep in your hair. This has to do with the molecules in the red color pigment, because they are larger than that of other colors.
(Red pigment. Taken from here)
Because of the large molecules, there are more space in...
Changed name!
I finally decided on a different Tumblr user name that I’m happy with.
This blog is now called redhairradiance (changed from redhairtips).
I found that redhairtips just sounded weird and boring.
So the new link is

Starting with the basics: Box Dyes
After having dyed my hair both from a box and at a salon, I know that most people can’t afford to go to the salon every month and drop $50+ for a cut and a dye. So the few dyes that I introduce in this post will give you amazing color that costs under $10.
L’Oreal Paris Feria
$9.99
Out of all the boxed dyes I’ve used, I found that this is the one I was most impressed with. The...
