The Best Red Hair Color Mixes to Try This Season
@megflahertyhair in Poison and Ritual
Hi Foxes!
With the cold months upon us, you may be missing the warmer weather and there’s truly no better way to heat things up than by entering your red hair era (or re-entering 😉). Allow us to make this as seamless as possible by giving you not one, but THREE red hair dyes that may even be simply TOO hot 🥵 (especially when mixed)!
It’s important to know that Wrath, Ritual, and Poison are not just red semi-permanent hair dyes … They're a portal to a world where you stand out in the most captivating red hues and express your unique and individual style. With these three red hair dyes, you’ll be able to do just that.
Before diving into some mixes, let’s run through a couple of quick things:
- Start by washing your hair a day or two before coloring to remove excess oils, but skip the conditioner
- Dry your hair completely, as hair dye tends to adhere better to dry strands
- Understand that red hair automatically makes you that girl 💅
- Consider applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline and ears to prevent staining
- Section your hair into manageable portions, securing them with clips (for even application, of course)
Now that you're RED-y 🤪 to go, let’s embark on the journey of transforming your locks into that inspo pic that you've had saved for some time now, shall we?
Whether you were naughty or nice, this first mix is for you 👇
Top Red Hair Dye Mixes for the Season
1. “Haughty Red” 🛷
Best suited for light to medium brown hair, this sultry, red-black fusion consists of a base of Poison and a drop of Transylvania (add a few more drops if needed).
2. Crimson Spell:
Infuse the vivacity of Poison with the rich deep hue of Ritual and watch magic happen 🪄 Mixing equal parts Poison and Ritual (adding more Ritual as needed) and applying over light to platinum blonde hair will yield the best results.
✨ AF Pro Tip: Punch it up with more Poison for a more vivid red 🥊
3. Cranberry Cutie:

To preserve the brilliance of your customized hair color, you’ll want to embrace a color-friendly hair care routine. Opt for sulfate-free and color-safe shampoos and conditioners like our Resurrected Set to minimize color fading.
Washing your hair with cold water also helps seal the cuticles as well by locking in the vibrancy. Another helpful tip is to minimize exposure to harsh sunlight and heated styling tools, as these can accelerate color fading 🙅♀️ With proper care, your red locks will continue to captivate and inspire, ensuring your vibrant self-expression can continue ❤️
