Bright, light and luminous auburn hair
Auburn hair, then, is democratic and flatters all skin types. «The important thing is to identify the right declination. The choice is endless, but you can spot them three large families that fall into the category, with highlights coppery which can be: brilliant, intense or deep» says the expert.

The timeless golden copper red hair, vibrant and shiny, a distinctive element for example of Jdry Chastain, «They especially value light complexions with freckles and blue or green eyes, these shades also look good on women with light eyebrows and dark irises»
These shades are created starting from naturally light lengths, even using a demi-permanent color. «Shinefinity Of Wella it’s a color halfway between permanent and semi-permanent dye. It uses a balanced pH which provides the desired pigment. Guarantees a “translucent” result that lasts up to 6 weeks»
Intense, deep auburn brown hair
Even coppery hair with intense facets they are very current. «They are easily obtained starting from one base that mixes brown with the brightest ginger» continues Galetti
“It’s a tonality especially akin to the colors of Mediterranean womenwith warm and golden skin, which the colorist builds by modulating the dosage of light and dark pigments»
This type of intense auburn hair is characterized by movement created by color. «To obtain it, balayage and free lightening are used, always starting from the base, dominated by brown tones», specifies the expert. «The suggested method is SUN. Like Mask. By Koleston Perfect Me+an innovative service of lightening mask that gives a “sun-kissed” effect in the blink of an eye. The end result is that of a shiny and luminous hair in a natural way»
Deep auburn, red-blue hair
Dark auburn hair in the auburn version, a red-black that oscillates from mahogany to copper rust, they identify above all in Kendall Jenner’s hair. «It is the shade that brings together all types of complexion, light and dark, because it enhances the natural tones of the complexion», continues Galetti of Wella

How to preserve the reflections of auburn hair
The auburn lengths made by the hairdresser require targeted care to preserve the intensity of reflexes, because the red dye molecules are the largest, and in general it is difficult to keep them anchored to the hair. “I’m helping to increase their membership the henna services performed by the hairdresser. It’s about plant pigments proposed in a range of light or rich shades, capable of creating a natural veil on the lengths capable of sealing the new nuance», explains Alessandro Galetti
To prevent the new copper color from losing its intensity, care at home is also important. «I suggest the use of pigmented maskswith high conditioning power, based on oils and natural ingredients to revive the color and deeply hydrate», explains the expert. «These products represent the winning combination of color and care: they are based on ready-made pigments that are deposited on the stem, do not change the starting color and allow the lengths to preserve brightness and softness».
Finally, also pay attention to styling. «The color of the hair dryer and styling tools makes the new nuances dissolve. To preserve them, it is essential to use a thermo-protector before drying»
