Blondes may have more fun, but nothing compares to being a redhead! Red hair certainly becomes more of an attitude than just a colour, and it rules your life in the best way possible. From complementary colours to the best beauty finds, here are 10 things that every redhead needs.

Red shampoo and conditioner
Whether your red locks are natural or from a bottle, John Frieda’s Radiant Red Shampoo and Conditioner is a must-have. It’s specifically made to magnify vibrant red colour and project rich red tones. The true cherry-on-top is the nourishing formula, which will make your hair feel amazing too!
The right shade of red lipstick

Every redhead should rock a red lipstick, but be sure to get the perfect shade. The red you wear has to complement your skin tone AND the hue of your red hair. The best way to get the perfect match is to try a variety, from orange-reds to blue-reds. Or head to your local beauty department and seek out professional advice!
Emerald green

It’s red hair 101 – fill your wardrobe with emerald green! The rich, deep green is the perfect colour that suits every single shade of red hair and becomes the perfect go-to for any occasion. While you’re at it, try out other jewel-tones including ruby red and navy blue.
Gold jewellery

Not a strict rule to follow, but yellow gold jewellery is very complementary to red hair. The warm tone will dress up any outfit and will complement your gorgeous freckles.
Sunscreen

Sunscreen is forever your best friend, stored in your handbag, desk draw, gym bag and car. Be sure to pick SPF 50+ to get the highest protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
The perfect brow pencil

Any redhead knows the struggle. You’ve been standing in Priceline for 40 minutes and you’re still deciding which colour you should go with. Taupe or brown? Even the auburn option is generally a different shade of red than you need. To make it easier, find an eyeshadow that matches your colour and fill in your brows using a small angled brush.
