Red Highlights on Black Hair: My Top Secrets for Vibrant, Lasting Color

Ever tried to get red highlights on black hair and ended up with dull orange streaks? Yep, been there! Here’s how I finally nailed those bold, head-turning red highlights (without frying my hair): 💡 Test First! Always do a test strand behind your ear a few days before. It saves you from a full-head disaster and lets you see how your hair reacts. 📌 Prep Like a Pro: Wash your hair the night before (not right before!) so the dye sticks better. And don’t skip the petroleum jelly on your hairline—trust me, red stains are no joke. ⚠️ Bleach Wisely: Use a level 20 developer for less damage, and always work in small sections with foil. Watch your hair like a hawk—if it burns, rinse immediately! ✅ Color with Care: Apply the red dye only to bleached sections, wrap in foil, and rinse with cold water for max vibrancy. Use color-safe conditioner to keep your hair happy. Red highlights can last months, but a little root touch-up and toning every 2-3 months keeps them fresh. Would you go for subtle red or full-on fire engine? #HairColorTips #FashionStorytelling #PersonalBranding #BoldHair #ContentCreation #Beauty #HairCare
