The Ultimate Guide to Adore Red Hair Dye: Every Shade, Explained

Why Choose Adore Semi-Permanent Red Hair Dye?

Adore hair color is a vegan, cruelty-free, ammonia-free, peroxide-free formula that delivers vibrant, long-lasting color without damaging your strands. Its conditioning base (with aloe vera, vitamin E, and wheat protein) leaves hair soft and shiny—perfect for bold reds that retain their brilliance over weeks.

The Full Spectrum of Adore’s Red Shades

Adore offers a wealth of red-family hues. We’ve grouped them into four categories to help you find your perfect match.

Adore Bright Reds

These are your go-to for statement-making, head-turning fire engine hues:

	Truly Red (060): A pure, vibrant scarlet that pops on light and pre-lightened hair.
	Raging Red (070): A slightly darker, bold red with a touch of depth.
	Intense Red (071): The deepest of the brights—rich and dramatic.

Adore Classic Reds

Timeless, universally flattering reds that suit most skin tones:

	Ruby Red (064): A jewel-toned red reminiscent of garnets.
	Crimson (068): A deep, blue-leaning red for a midnight-berry effect.

Adore Warm Reds

These reddish-browns add warmth and dimension, ideal for subtlety or lived-in looks:

	Paprika (072): A spicy orange-red that warms up pale skin.
	Cajun Spice (056): A red-copper with rich, autumnal vibes.
	Cinnamon (058): A soft, brown-leaning red that looks natural on darker bases.

Adore Deep Reds

For vampy, sultry styles that echo wine and berries:

	Burgundy Envy (079): A blue-based burgundy with serious depth.
	Burgundy Bliss (085): A slightly brighter burgundy for a pop of color.
	Raspberry Twist (086): A magenta-tinged red that reads as berry-bright.

How to Choose the Right Red Shade for Your Skin Tone

Fair, Cool Undertones: Opt for blue-leaning reds like Crimson or Wild Cherry to complement pinkish skin.
Fair, Warm Undertones: Spicy shades like Paprika or Ruby Red bring warmth without washing you out.
Medium to Olive Skin: True reds—Truly Red or Raging Red—provide vivid contrast.
Dark Skin Tones: Deep, rich burgundies like Burgundy Envy or Raspberry Twist create luxurious depth.

Application Tips for Best Results

Pre-Lighten if Needed: Reds show truest on pre-lightened hair. For dark hair, aim for at least a level 7 blonde.
Strand Test: Always do a 10-minute patch test on a hidden section to preview vibrancy.
Section Hair Evenly: Work in small sections to ensure uniform coverage.
Processing Time: Leave on for 30–45 minutes for maximum pigment deposit.
Rinse with Cool Water: Seal cuticles and lock in color by rinsing until water runs almost clear—no shampoo!

Top Tips for Red Hair Maintenance

Use Sulfate-Free, Color-Safe Shampoo: Sulfates strip semi-permanent dyes faster.
Wash Less Often: Aim for 2–3 washes per week; use dry shampoo between washes.
Cool Rinses: Hot water fades red fast; opt for lukewarm to cool.
Gloss Treatments: Refresh brightness every 4–6 weeks with a clear gloss or a drop of your dye mixed into conditioner.
UV Protection: Wear a UV-protective spray or hat to prevent sun-bleaching.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does Adore red hair dye last?
A: Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on porosity and care routine.

Q: Can I mix two red shades?
A: Yes, mixing (e.g., Crimson + Truly Red) lets you customize depth and tone. Always strand-test.

Q: Will red dye stain my scalp or bathroom?
A: It can—use a barrier cream on your hairline and protect surfaces. Rinse tools promptly.
