When it comes to getting natural highlights for red hair, you'll want to keep the shade of your red in mind. For example, if you're a born redhead with a lighter shade of red or have dyed your hair a lighter red colour, you should consider a lighter highlight like a strawberry blond. "Traditional redheads, think Lucille Ball, look great with warmer shades like ginger, copper, and strawberry or golden blond," Caruso says.
