Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color in RC1 - Terracotta Chili

From the Garnier Nutrisse Double Tone Reds collection, Terracotta Chili is an intensely pigmented combination of medium red and reflective copper tones. It’s a great color option for people with a natural hair color falling between light brown and darkest brown. The reflective tone of this at-home color gives you shampoo-commercial-worthy shine and the formula is ultra nourishing.

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color in RP1 - Cherry Flamingo

The Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color in RP1 - Cherry Flamingo is another vibrant, multi-tone red option. If you like an edgier, more playful look, you’ll love this reflective, almost pink color. Even those with dark brown natural hair can achieve high-impact, pink-red color with this dye. Bonus: The Nutrisse Ultra Color kits come with a grapeseed oil ampoule to condition your hair while you color it.

L’Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color in 375 - Bright Red

Looking for a more temporary option? Try the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color, which comes in a Bright Red shade. It’s a great option if you like to transform and play with your look but aren’t ready to commit to flaming red strands long term. This ammonia- and peroxide-free color is essentially a conditioning hair mask and the pigment fades over time with repeated washes.
