Ok so yesterday I was brushing my hair (half wet, mistake) and the cat literally knocked over my tea… so yeah, very glam moment. but in the mirror I kept staring at old pics of me with dark red hair color and I was like – why did I ever stop??
It’s bold but soft, dramatic but not like neon. sometimes I want deep red brown hair, sometimes I dream of that glossy dark cherry red hair that looks insane in sunlight.
Oh and don’t even start me on red balayage hair – I tried it once and felt like a different person (in a good way).
Here are my absolute favorite dark red hair styles I’m completely obsessed with atm and I’m sure you’ll love them too!
