Ready for Red

With selfies pretty much the norm these days and almost daily uploads to Instagram or Snapchat by many users, people seem to become a little bolder than they might have been before social media existed. Sharing style and fashion tips is a daily occurrence for many social media users now, and we are seeing this result in some more edgy hair styling and colour choices.

Couple that with the influence celebrities have on these platforms and it is no wonder we see some great new styles literally all over the world!

In this article we are going to focus on a colour that seems to be trending this autumn, RED!

Over the years red has been a colour for the brave. Many girls shied away from red hair because it was too bold, made too much of a statement, but these days everyone wants to make a statement, so bring on the red hair.

Once you have built up the courage and made the decision, that first look in the mirror is actually a very pleasing experience. It is not as outrageous as you might have initially thought and in fact, it is generally beautiful.

It is a colour for everyone to enjoy. You of course need to find the best shade and texture to match your skin tone but, red is not dead, it is very much alive and kicking.

We can thank social media for bringing celebrity trends to the forefront so much faster than when we had to rely on teen magazines or the Sunday papers to see who wore what and how they wore it.

So, who has gone red for autumn?

Remember ‘MY’ (Mary Jane Watson) from Spiderman who was played by Zendaya? Well she is first on our list with what can best be described as ‘blood red-orange’ and wow, does it suit her.

Next up we saw pop icon Rhianna with her red box braids recently. Let’s face it she always looks gorgeous, but she looked super gorgeous rocking the red. (Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2I7x19h3m7/)

We cannot feature red hair without mentioning the stunning Emma Stone, and when she goes for that classic 50’s look there is nobody out there that can match her sleek style. (Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bj8v3eXj2VP/)

It seems that whatever colour former Gossip Girl lead Blake Lively decides to go, she just looks more and more beautiful. Especially when she decided on that copper top! (Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4gzYsHZor/)
