Some like it bright and this rich scarlet hue is sure to satisfy. Bold and lush like it’s namesake fruit, this saturated shade has just enough copper undertone to keep the shade from looking pinkish. The touch of warmth in the color helps it last longer and look shinier than cool red shades. Click the style notes for the professional formula and tips on application. –– Laura Martin
Application: For even vibrancy without diluting color at the root use a lower developer at the root area, as shown in formula 1. Apply to the 1/2” closest to the scalp, using 1/4” subsections for a clean, even saturation. Apply formula 2 to the remaining hair, following the same sectioning pattern as was sued for the roots. Process thirty minutes, shampoo and condition with color save, and don’t wash again for at least 48 hours.
