Ask a Redhead: How Can I Fight Frizz This Summer?

Bye Bye, Frizz!

Every week, we put out a call for your redhead questions. This gives you a chance to get advice or input from our team of redheads. From beauty and fashion to lifestyle, redheads are in a unique boat, and we want to help make this community a place where you can turn to for all your redhead needs.

This week, we’re answering a question from Instagram that reads: “Is it normal to have frizzy hair?” The short answer is yes, many redheads experience frizzy hair (especially during the summer months), but there are some ways to reduce your frizz this summer. Here are some tips: 

Why red hair gets frizzy more than other hair colors

Many redheads have some sort of wave or curl pattern to their hair. When you have wavy or curly hair, you’re more prone to frizz. Frizz can also come from damage to the hair caused by chemicals, breakage, and overuse of hot tools. If your frizz is due to the texture of your hair, you can’t get rid of it, but you can tame it and make it much more manageable. If your frizz is due to damage, you can cut off the damaged hair and the regrowth should be much healthier and frizz-free.

Frizz is often caused by dryness in the hair. Wavy or curly hair is often drier than other hair types, so this means that you need to add moisture to your hair in addition to using frizz-taming products. There are also some best practices you can follow to reduce frizz during drying and styling. 

How to reduce frizz starting with your shower routine

The products you use while your hair is wet can make a huge impact on how it dries. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner that is intended for fighting dryness and frizz. If you have waves or curls you want to embrace, you can also use products intended for your hair type. Defining the curls will help to reduce frizz as well.

Some best practices in the shower include detangling your hair while it’s soaking wet, rinsing your hair with cool/cold water, and focusing your shampoo on your roots and your conditioner on your mids and ends. 

Don’t forget to incorporate Finally Glossy shampoo in your shower routine:

How to reduce frizz post-shower

After you shower, you may feel like the frizz control continues. If you intend to apply curl-enhancing products, it’s best to do this while your hair is quite wet. Wet hair helps to distribute the products better and allows you to be able to work the products through without adding friction. Once you’ve applied the products, use a microfiber towel to remove the excess water. You can also wrap your hair to aid in drying which will help with frizz. Avoid rubbing your hair on the towel as this can cause frizz

When it comes to drying your hair, you can use the microfiber towel to speed up drying, and then let your hair air dry the rest of the way, or you can use a diffuser or blowdryer. When blowdrying your hair, always blow the air down from roots to ends. Leave-in conditioners, hair oils, and other hydrating products can help to reduce frizz during the drying process

How to reduce frizz throughout the day

As you wear your hair throughout the day it may become more frizzy. This can be reduced by always using a heat protectant when styling with hot tools, using a humidity spray, avoiding overbrushing, and refreshing the hair with a light hair oil as needed. Sleeping with a silk/satin bonnet or pillowcase can also help to reduce frizz at night. Reducing frizz for redheads in the summer involves a combination of proper hair care, styling techniques, and protective measures.

Here are some extra tips to incorporate in your life:

Hair Care Routine

1. Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner: Use a sulfate-free, hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair moisturized. Sulfates can strip natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz.

2. Deep Conditioning: Incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment or hair mask to nourish and hydrate your hair.

3. Cold Water Rinse: After washing your hair, rinse with cold water to help seal the hair cuticle, which can reduce frizz.

Styling Techniques

1. Leave-in Conditioner: Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair to lock in moisture and provide an extra layer of protection against frizz.

2. Anti-Frizz Serum or Oil: Use a small amount of anti-frizz serum or lightweight oil, focusing on the ends and any particularly frizzy areas. Avoid applying too much product near the scalp to prevent greasiness.

3. Heat Protection: Always use a heat protectant spray before using any heat-styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners.

4. Air Dry: Whenever possible, let your hair air dry to avoid the heat damage that can exacerbate frizz.

Protective Measures

1. Avoid Humidity: Try to stay in air-conditioned environments or use a dehumidifier at home. Humidity is a major cause of frizz.

2. Silk or Satin Pillowcase: Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and hair breakage, which can lead to frizz.

3. Protective Hairstyles: Consider wearing your hair in braids, buns, or ponytails to keep it controlled and reduce exposure to humid air.

4. Hats and Scarves: Wear a hat or scarf when you’re out in the sun to protect your hair from UV damage and humidity.

Additional Tips

1. Avoid Overwashing: Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week.

2. Brush with Care: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wet hair to gently detangle your hair. Brushing dry hair can cause breakage and frizz.

3. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.

By following these tips, redheads can effectively reduce frizz and maintain smoother, more manageable hair throughout the summer.

5 Best Colors for Redhead Men to Wear

Guys, You Look Great in These Colors!

Finding your best colors can be tough when you’re a redhead. There’s a lot of talk about the colors redheads shouldn’t wear, but we think redheads can rock anything. Still, it’s nice to know what colors suit you best and flatter your hair and skin tone. For redhead men, there are a few colors that look particularly good! Here are our top 5 colors for redhead men to wear.

1. Shades of Blue

There’s no doubt about it, blue is one of the best colors for redheads across the board. We love blue on redhead men, especially because it’s so versatile. Dark navy blue is a great “neutral” while lighter ashy blues can really make hair pop. Vibrant shades of blue look amazing too. Blue looks great paired with white, tan, brown, and shades of gray. 

2. Burnt Orange

If you like to play with color, a really complementary one can be burnt orange. It’s a little richer than brown and will complement your hair nicely. Burnt orange might be seen as more of a fall color, but we think redheads should embrace it year-round. Burnt orange goes nicely with browns, lighter neutrals, and other deeper colors like dark green, dark blue, maroon, and mustard yellow.

3. Shades of Green

Green is another spectacular color for redheads and looks amazing in almost any shade. For redhead men, we love deep forest greens, more neutral sage greens and also olive greens. From light to dark, green will make your red hair stand out while also complimenting your skin tone. Green looks wonderful paired with shades of blue, browns, neutrals, and even other shades of green.

4. Maroon

Red is often a color that redheads shy away from, but we think a deeper, darker red like maroon is an excellent choice for redhead men. It can be very flattering against your skin and hair and pairs nicely with dark blues, grays, and neutrals. It also pairs nicely with other autumnal shades

5. Neutrals

This might be cheating, but we’re lumping neutrals into one category. For redheads, you can wear any neutral you like, but the most flattering option is to stay away from anything too light (unless it’s bright white) and choose shades of brown, gray, and tan that are a little more pigmented. Lighter colors can make you look a bit washed out, as can colors that are too deep like black. Finding colors in that middle ground will really help you to look amazing. 

Hesitant to try new colors? 

For redhead men hesitant to experiment with new colors, start small by incorporating new shades in accessories like ties, pocket squares, scarves, or socks to ease into the change. Layering can also help, by wearing new colors as undershirts or parts of a layered outfit with more neutral outer layers. Pair bolder colors with neutral shades to balance the look, such as a navy shirt with beige pants. Test colors in natural light to see how they complement your hair and skin tone, and seek feedback from friends or family with good fashion sense. Gradually introduce these colors into your wardrobe, starting with shades closer to neutrals and slowly moving towards bolder hues. Remember, confidence is key—if you feel good in what you’re wearing, it will show. Experimenting with new colors can be fun and rewarding, enhancing your unique features and personal style.

How Redheads Can Rock: Plum Mascara

Ready to Rock This Regal Color?

Just like with our How To Wear series, we’re working on a new How Redheads Can Rock makeup series. We talk trends, unique makeup, and makeup stereotypes that redheads face. This time, we’re talking about plum mascara.

Plum is becoming more popular but still isn’t as mainstream as black or brown. Do you want to know the reason why we love plum mascara? It’s super flattering on redheads! The reddish-purple tint gives your lashes definition without feeling too dark (like a black might). Wondering how you can rock this mascara shade? Keep reading.

Why plum mascara flatters redheads

Plum mascara might sound intimidating, but it’s an everyday color! The reddish-purple undertones are subtle and very flattering to your red hair but aren’t overpowering. Plum mascara can be worn with your everyday  “no makeup” look, a natural look or even an everyday glam look. Whatever style you love, you can pair it with plum mascara. 

Redheads can rock plum mascara as an everyday color by leveraging the natural contrast and complementary nature of the shade against their unique hair color. Here are some tips:

1. Enhance Natural Features: Plum mascara can highlight the green or blue undertones in redheads’ eyes, making them pop. It’s a subtle yet noticeable way to enhance eye color without being overly dramatic.

2. Soft Contrast: Plum offers a softer contrast compared to black, which can sometimes appear harsh. This makes it suitable for everyday wear, adding definition without overpowering the natural look.

3. Warm Undertones: The warm undertones in plum complement the warmth in red hair, creating a harmonious look. This helps to tie the entire makeup look together seamlessly.

4. Versatility: Plum mascara is versatile and can be paired with various eyeshadow colors, from neutral browns to soft pinks and even golden hues, allowing for different looks that are still cohesive with the red hair.

5. Subtle Pop of Color: For those who prefer a natural look, plum mascara offers a subtle pop of color that enhances lashes without drawing too much attention away from other features.

By using plum mascara, redheads can subtly enhance their natural beauty, making it a perfect choice for everyday makeup.

How to pair plum with your makeup

If you want to embrace the undertones, plum mascara looks fantastic with matching eyeshadow. Doing a reddish-purple eyeshadow look and topping it off with plum mascara is the perfect way to make a cohesive, monochromatic look. Plum mascara doesn’t just go with plum lids though! Pair it with a gorgeous brown, shimmering champagne, or even a deep navy for something unique. 

When wearing plum mascara, choosing the right lipstick shade can help create a cohesive and flattering look. Here are some lipstick shades that pair well with plum mascara for redheads:

1. Nude Shades: Soft nude tones, whether they have a hint of pink, peach, or beige, provide a balanced and understated look. These shades complement the plum mascara without competing for attention.

Won't Wash You Out: Perfectly Nude: $26

2. Soft Pinks: Light pink shades can add a touch of freshness and femininity. Look for soft, muted pinks rather than bright or neon ones to keep the look natural and cohesive.

Pinking of You: Perfectly Pink: $26

3. Peachy Tones: Peachy lipsticks work well with the warm undertones in red hair and can complement the plum mascara nicely. These shades add warmth and vibrancy without overwhelming the overall look.

4. Mauve Shades: Mauve lipsticks, which have a mix of pink and purple tones, can harmonize with the plum mascara while providing a bit more color. This can create a sophisticated and polished appearance.

5. Berry Tones: Light berry shades can be a great match, adding a pop of color that ties in with the plum without being too intense. Opt for more muted or sheer berry shades for daytime wear.

6. Coral Shades: Coral lipsticks can add a fun and lively touch, especially if they have a softer, more subdued finish. This can complement the natural warmth of red hair and the richness of plum mascara.

7. Soft Reds: If you want a bolder look, a soft red with warm undertones can work beautifully. Choose reds that lean towards a brick or rust shade to complement both the plum mascara and red hair.

RED-Y For This: Perfectly Red: $26

By selecting lipstick shades that harmonize with plum mascara, redheads can achieve a balanced and flattering makeup look suitable for various occasions.

Tampa Museum Hosts ‘Redhead Exhibit’ + Entrance Is Free for Redheads

Redheads can visit the exhibit for FREE from June 11-16, 2024!

We know that redheads have fascinated photographers for decades. Photographer Keith Barraclough has been photographing redheads in a series called The Redhead Project for over a decade, and even photographed H2BAR co-founders Adrienne and Stephanie in 2014. Brian Dowling, a Polish photographer who loves photographing redheads, released a book in 2017 featuring many of his photos including one of actress Madelaine Petsch before her rise to fame. A Portuguese photographer named Mag Rodrigues did an entire series of beautiful Portuguese redheads in a project called “Fado Ruivo.” London-based photographer, Brock Elbank, released his series called “Freckles” in 2015 highlighting many natural redheads.

But, these photographers aren’t the only ones with an affinity for photographing red hair. 

Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) in Tampa, Florida is a museum “dedicated to exhibiting important photographic art as central to contemporary life and culture. FMoPA collects, preserves, and exhibits historic and contemporary works by nationally and internationally known photographic artists. FMoPA also enriches the community by operating outreach programs to educate children and adults.” 

Currently, FMoPA is home to an exhibit by photographer Joel Meyerowitz. Celebrated as a pioneer of color photography, Meyerowitz is an “award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibits in museums and galleries around the world.” Meyerowitz’s current exhibit at FMoPA is a ‘redhead exhibit’ that features photos of redheads from 1964 to 1984. He also has a book titled “Redheads” that was published in 1991 and features 110 pages of stunning redhead photographs. 

According to the FMoPA Instagram, “This initiative honors Joel Meyerowitz’s fascination with redheads, which is reflected in his photography. Meyerowitz has expressed a deep interest in the shared genetic features and the common spiritual bond that redheads often describe. He sought them out in places such as beaches and nightclubs, capturing their distinctive features and vibrant personalities in his work.”

The exhibit will run until July 14th, but redheads can visit the exhibit for FREE from June 11th until June 16th! 

Redheads often captivate artists and photographers due to their distinctive and striking appearance. Several factors contribute to their popularity in art and photography:

1. Unique Hair Color: Red hair is rare, making up about 1-2% of the world’s population. This rarity gives redheads a special allure and a sense of uniqueness.

2. Striking Visual Contrast: The vibrant color of red hair contrasts beautifully with various backgrounds and lighting conditions, enhancing the visual impact of an image or artwork.

3. Cultural and Historical Significance: Red hair has been imbued with various cultural and symbolic meanings throughout history, ranging from associations with mythical figures and royalty to stereotypes of fiery tempers and independence. These connotations add layers of depth to the portrayal of redheads.

4. Skin Tones and Features: Redheads often have fair skin and distinctive features, which can create a captivating and ethereal look in portraits and other art forms. The combination of pale skin and red hair can evoke a sense of delicacy and vulnerability, adding emotional resonance to the artwork.

5. Light and Shadow Play: The interplay of light and shadow on red hair can create dynamic and captivating effects, allowing artists and photographers to explore a wide range of tones and textures.

6. Iconic Figures in Art: Historical and modern artworks have often highlighted redheaded figures, from Renaissance paintings to contemporary photography. This has reinforced the aesthetic appeal of redheads and perpetuated their presence in visual culture.

Overall, the distinctiveness and aesthetic versatility of red hair, combined with its cultural and historical connotations, make redheads a compelling subject for artistic exploration.

7 Redhead Celebrity Inspired Makeup Looks

It is a great way to try something new and get some inspiration for new products.

We recently showed you how redheads can recreate the iconic Sabrina Carpenter hair and makeup. Recreating celebrity makeup looks has been popular online for a while, but it’s often hard to find redheads doing these trends. We love seeing redheads show off celeb looks on our FYP because it shows us how these viral hair and makeup looks complement red hair.

On-again, off-again redhead by choice Emma Stone’s Oscar look is perfect for pale-skinned redheads, just like Emma. To achieve Emma Stone’s makeup look, focus on enhancing your natural features. Start with a flawless base using foundation and concealer. Emphasize your eyes with neutral eyeshadows, winged eyeliner, and lots of mascara. Add a pop of color to your cheeks with a peachy blush and finish with bold red lipstick, which is one of Emma Stone’s signature looks. Don’t forget to groom your eyebrows—they frame the face and can make a big difference.

Ask a Redhead: Any Tips and Tricks for Blonde Eyelashes?

Redheads usually have coarse + stiff lashes. We have some tips:

Every week, we put out a call for your redhead questions. This gives you a chance to get advice or input from our team of redheads. From beauty and fashion to lifestyle, redheads are in a unique boat, and we want to help make this community a place where you can turn to for all your redhead needs.

This week, we’re talking all about redhead lashes, and answering a question from Facebook that reads: “My eyelashes are stiff to curl, and are blonde at the base. Help!” So, let’s talk all about redhead lashes and how you can enhance yours with a few tips + tricks:

1. Find the right mascara

First and foremost, you will want to find yourself the right formula. The Finally Have Lashes® redhead mascaras come in custom colors made for redheads by redheads. When formulating these shades, we chose colors that look natural on redheads and formulated all our mascaras to be sensitive and eye-safe. If you’ve ever felt like Black and Brown mascaras don’t look natural on you, it’s time to try an Auburn and/or Chestnut mascara. Finally Have Lashes® will also add curl and maximize volume for long, beautiful redhead lashes. We have two different mascara lines — Hourglass + Enhancing — in our Finally Have Lashes® line. We can’t wait for you to try!

Finally Have Lashes® Hourglass Mascara

The Hourglass Mascara is our original mascara series. The custom Auburn, Brown + Black shades are designed to volumize, curl, lift, and lengthen lashes in a sensitive-friendly formula with an hourglass brush.

Finally Have Lashes® Hourglass Mascara

Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara

The Enhancing Mascara is our new mascara series! These custom shades include Auburn and Chestnut! Brown and Plum are coming soon and pre-orders are now open. Our enhancing wand is designed to build maximum volume & length and will help to comb through lashes to define, separate, lift & curl.

Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara

2. Help to soften stiff lashes

Stiff lashes can be caused by genetics, but there are a few ways you can try to soften them up.

To soften stiff lashes, you can try the following tips:

1. Use a Conditioning Mascara: Look for mascaras that contain moisturizing ingredients like oils or vitamin E. These can help hydrate your lashes and make them softer over time.

2. Apply Oil or Serum: Before bedtime, apply a small amount of natural oils such as coconut oil, castor oil, or even olive oil to your lashes using a clean mascara wand or cotton swab. This can help nourish and soften them overnight.

3. Avoid Waterproof Mascara: Waterproof mascaras tend to be more drying and can make lashes stiff. Opt for regular mascaras that are easier to remove and gentler on your lashes.

4. Remove Mascara Gently: Use a gentle eye makeup remover and avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes. Let the remover sit for a few seconds to dissolve the mascara before gently wiping it away.

5. Use a Lash Primer: Applying a lash primer before mascara can create a protective layer and help condition your lashes, making them softer and less prone to stiffness.

6. Brush Your Lashes: Use a clean mascara wand or lash comb to gently brush through your lashes daily. This can help distribute natural oils and any conditioning products you’ve applied, as well as prevent them from clumping together.

7. Consider Lash Serums: If your lashes are consistently stiff and dry, you might want to try a lash serum designed to promote lash health and hydration. These often contain peptides and other ingredients to strengthen and soften lashes over time.

By incorporating these tips into your routine, you can help soften stiff lashes and keep them looking healthy and hydrated.

3. How to curl and application tips

If you have naturally straight lashes, you can use a lash curler to add some bend to them, but if your lashes are stubborn you can try a few of these tricks:

Curling stubborn lashes can be a bit tricky, but here are some tips to help you achieve a lasting curl:

1. Use a Good Quality Eyelash Curler: Invest in a high-quality eyelash curler that fits the shape of your eye well. Look for one with a soft silicone pad that won’t pinch or pull your lashes.

2. Heat the Eyelash Curler: Warm up your eyelash curler slightly with a hairdryer for a few seconds (make sure it’s not too hot to avoid burning your eyelids). The warmth can help to set the curl better.

3. Curl Before Applying Mascara: Curl your lashes before applying mascara. Curling after mascara application can lead to clumping and may damage your lashes.

4. Hold and Pulse Technique: Position the curler close to the base of your lashes and gently pulse the curler a few times as you move it towards the tips. This technique helps to create a natural-looking curl.

5. Use Mascara Wisely: After curling your lashes, apply a lengthening or volumizing mascara. Start from the base and wiggle the wand slightly as you move upwards to separate and define the lashes.

6. Try Heating Techniques: Some people find that using a heated eyelash curler or warming their regular curler with a hairdryer (as mentioned above) gives them better results with stubborn lashes.

7. Hold the Curl: After curling, you can lightly pinch the curler at the tips of your lashes and hold for a few seconds to lock in the curl.

8. Use Waterproof Mascara Sparingly: Waterproof mascaras can hold a curl better, but they can also be drying. Use them sparingly and make sure to remove them gently at the end of the day to avoid damaging your lashes.

9. Consider Lash Primer: Using a lash primer before mascara can help to condition and protect your lashes, which can make curling easier and more effective.

10. Practice and Patience: Achieving the perfect curl may take a bit of practice. Be patient and gentle with your lashes to avoid any damage.

11. Apply Mascara Before Shadow: Most makeup artists will tell you to apply your eyeshadow before your mascara, but if you’re a redhead who wants to cover those light roots, try doing your mascara first. This means you can make a mess of your lids and wipe it off before adding your shadow.

By following these tips, you can effectively curl stubborn lashes and enhance the appearance of your eyes.

The 8 Best Bath Products For Redheads, Tested & Reviewed

Need some R&R? We all do! Here are our redhead-specific tips

There’s nothing quite like running yourself a nice hot bath and settling in for some rest and relaxation time. International Bath Day is June 14th, and it’s the perfect excuse to pamper yourself this weekend or anytime you need some R&R. We’ve gathered up some of our favorite redhead bath essentials that will make your next soak luxurious, but also safe on your sensitive skin and good for your red hair:

1. Soft Microfiber Hair Towel

Wrap your red locks up in a soft microfiber hair towel. This is perfect for during your bath if you want to keep your red hair dry, or for after when you want to speed up dry time and reduce frizz. Redheads can greatly benefit from using a soft microfiber hair towel due to its gentle nature, which reduces friction and minimizes breakage and split ends. These towels are highly absorbent, efficiently wicking away moisture without vigorous rubbing, which helps reduce frizz and maintain the smoothness and shine of red hair. The superior absorbency also shortens drying time, avoiding excessive heat styling that could damage delicate hair. Additionally, the gentle texture of microfiber helps preserve the vibrancy of red hair color by minimizing stress on the strands, keeping hair smooth and manageable.

Soft Microfiber Hair Towel for Redheads: $35

2. Finally Glossy® Shampoo

It’s important to wash your hair after a bath, and what better way to treat your hair than with some shine and luminosity shampoo? This redhead shampoo has sold out 7x, so get in the pre-order. Finally Glossy is a special shampoo to help strengthen, shine, and add hydration to red hair. This clean formula is formulated with Vitamin B3, olive oil, coconut oil, and green tea.

This is NOT a color-depositing shampoo. It is red because we want it to feel satisfying when applying. It’s just for appearance and will not edit your red hair.

4. Luxury Bath Pillow

Let’s face it, most bathtubs aren’t all that comfortable, but you want to relax during your soak, so opt for a luxury bath pillow to give your head a space to rest.

5. Sensitive Skin Body Wash

Baths are great for relaxing, but they are also for getting clean. Opt for a sensitive skin body wash to cleanse your skin after your soak.

7. Creamy Coconut Collagen Milk Bath Soak Powder

This luxurious coconut milk bath soak nourishes and hydrates skin for younger, firmer, and silky-soft skin. It can also help to soothe and hydrate reducing irritation and easing sunburn.

8. ECZEMA HONEY Fragrance-Free Oatmeal Comfort Bubble Bath

Usually bubble bath is filled with all sorts of dyes and fragrances that are harsh on sensitive skin. Skip those and opt for this fragrance-free, oatmeal bubble bath that’s perfect for all skin types, especially sensitives and eczema-prone.

Tretinoin 101 for Redheads: Everything You Need To Know

We're giving alternatives too

Retinoids are very popular in the skincare community because of the amazing impact they can have on the skin. Retinoids are derived from Vitamin A and are used topically to treat skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, psoriasis, and early signs of aging. Recently, there’s been more talk about one specific retinoid called tretinoin. Here’s everything redheads need to know about tretinoin:

What is tretinoin? 

Tretinoin is a Vitamin A derivative that is used topically to treat skin conditions such as acne. According to the Mayo Clinic, tretinoin is “used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face caused by the damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun. Tretinoin works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun. However, it does not completely or permanently erase these skin problems or greatly improve more obvious changes in the skin, such as deep wrinkles caused by the sun or the natural aging process.”

Tretinoin, unlike some over-the-counter retinoids, are usually always prescribed by a doctor who will evaluate your skin and determine if you are a good candidate for it. Tretinoin is used by both teens and adults. Like all retinoids, tretinoin can be harsh on sensitive skin. That doesn’t mean that redheads can’t use it, but they should proceed with caution as it may not be a good option. Since you need a doctor to prescribe it, you will most likely only get a prescription if your skin can handle it. 

If you are prescribed tretinoin, your doctor will tell you how to apply it, how often, and what skincare to avoid when using tretinoin. The most important thing with any retinoid is to make sure you’re using proper sun protection. Retinoids can make your skin more susceptible to sunburn, which is why you need to be very vigilant about your SPF use and reapply often throughout the day. 

How to use tretinoin on redhead skin:

Using tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, increasing the risk of sunburn. Here are some steps to effectively apply sunscreen to protect your skin:

1. Wait After Tretinoin Application: Apply tretinoin at night, as it makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. If you use it during the day, wait at least 20-30 minutes before applying any other product.

2. Choose a Broad-Spectrum SPF: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. This will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

3. Apply Generously: Use about a nickel-sized amount of sunscreen for your face and more for other exposed areas. Make sure to cover all areas evenly.

4. Reapply Regularly: Reapply sunscreen every two hours and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

5. Use Physical Barriers: Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing when possible. Seek shade, especially during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM).

6. Be Consistent: Make sunscreen application a daily habit, even on cloudy days or when indoors, as UVA rays can penetrate windows.

By following these steps, you can help protect your skin from sunburn and reduce the potential for tretinoin-related irritation.

What if tretinoin cannot be prescribed to you due to your skin being too sensitive? 

If your doctor determines that tretinoin is not a good option for your sensitive skin, they may recommend an alternative over-the-counter retinoid. If they do not, or you don’t have luck with other retinoids, many redheads have found that Bakuchiol, an all-natural plant-based alternative works well for their sensitive skin. Bakuchiol and tretinoin are both popular skincare ingredients known for their anti-aging benefits, but they have different origins, mechanisms, and effects on the skin. Here’s a comparison of the two:

Bakuchiol

1. Source: Derived from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant.

2. Mechanism: Functions similarly to retinoids but is not a retinoid. It activates similar genetic pathways.

3. Benefits:
– Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
– Improves skin firmness and elasticity.
– Helps with pigmentation and skin texture.
– Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Skin Tolerance: Generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. Less likely to cause irritation, dryness, or peeling.

5. Usage: Can be used both morning and night and is not known to increase photosensitivity.

Tretinoin

1. Source: A synthetic derivative of vitamin A.

2. Mechanism: Works by speeding up cell turnover, promoting the shedding of old skin cells and stimulating the production of new ones.

3. Benefits:
– Strongly backed by clinical research for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
– Treats acne effectively by preventing clogged pores.
– Improves overall skin texture and tone.

4. Skin Tolerance: Can cause significant irritation, dryness, redness, and peeling, especially during initial use. May require a period of adjustment.

5. Usage: Typically used at night due to increased photosensitivity. Sunscreen use is crucial during the day to protect the skin.

Bakuchiol is a gentler, plant-based alternative suitable for those with sensitive skin or those who cannot tolerate retinoids. It can be used both day and night and doesn’t increase sun sensitivity. Tretinoin is a potent, well-researched retinoid ideal for those with resilient skin looking for strong anti-aging and acne treatment effects. It requires careful management of sun exposure and initial skin irritation.

Choosing between bakuchiol and tretinoin depends on your skin type, tolerance, and specific skincare goals. For a milder, more tolerable option with fewer side effects, bakuchiol is a good choice. For more intensive treatment with robust clinical backing, tretinoin may be more suitable.

Always consult with your dermatologist before adding any products to your routine.

Rock it like a Redhead!

Is Hailey Bieber’s Tanning Secret Safe For Redheads?

Spoiler: NO! "Carroten on its own is a one-way ticket to skin cancer"

There’s no denying that Hailey Bieber is one of our generation’s biggest “IT” girls. From her hair to nails to makeup, millennial and Gen Z women are hanging on her every word. If Hailey tries it, the world (and thousands of redheads) will too. According to a PopSugar article, Hailey recently shared her love for a product called Carroten, an intensive tanning gel. She said she mixes it with her own choice of SPF since Carroten doesn’t have any sun protection. 

@haileybieber

sunshine and salty tan ✨✨🤍🤍

♬ sonido original – SONIDOS LARGOS

With the warmer months here, we know many redheads will try this tanning trick and we wanted to discuss if this is actually safe. Keep scrolling to read more.

What is Carroten? 

Carroten is an intensive tanning gel that has no SPF coverage. It is usually dark orange or brown in color and rich in texture. Beiber says she mixes hers with SPF — this is safer, but it still will not keep you protected.

The name Carroten is derived from the word “carrot”. Many Carroten brands claim their “hero ingredients” are carrots because carrots contains an orange pigment called ‘beta-carotene’. Its main property has the ability to boost melanin production which ultimately gives skin that instant and natural tanning result.

In the PopSugar article, Dr. Buka, a board-certified dermatologist, weighs in on Carroten, “Carroten is a branded tanning gel that is predominantly petrolatum. Petrolatum, commonly found in Vaseline, is a photo-accelerant that multiplies the effects of ultraviolet rays.”

Why do we deem Carroten unsafe for redheads?

Dr. Buka also goes on to talk about how technically Carroten should have a negative SPF rating, but those aren’t issued by the FDA, so it’s labeled as 0. Buka continues, “It doesn’t provide any UV protection, so no, it’s not safe to use in the sun. Carroten on its own is a one-way ticket to skin cancer because it amplifies the impact of ultraviolet rays on your skin.” When you mix Carroten with a high SPF, it becomes a little safer, but you run the risk of SPF dilution which can cause another host of problems.

We want redheads to know that this product is not safe. We need to keep our redhead skin healthy and safe, and this isn’t the product to help us do that. Carroten will lead to skin damage and even worse — skin cancer.

We recommend a sunless spray tan or home self-tanning products instead

Redheads typically have fair skin and are more prone to sunburn, so they must protect their skin while tanning. Here are some safe ways for redheads to achieve a tan:

1. Use Sunscreen: Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (30 or above) and reapply it every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

2. Seek Shade: Limit sun exposure during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and stay in the shade whenever possible.

3. Protective Clothing: Wear hats, sunglasses, and clothing that covers your skin to shield it from the sun.

4. Sunless Tanning Products: Consider using self-tanning lotions or sprays for a tan without sun exposure.

5. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, which can help reduce the risk of sun damage.

6. Monitor Skin: Check your skin regularly for any changes or signs of sunburn, and consult a dermatologist if you notice any concerns.

We get tons of questions from redheads asking how they can tan, what tanning products to use, and how to get a tan outdoors. We want redheads to know that Carroten is not safe and to use safer options. Let’s leave this Hailey Bieber trend to the “IT” girl herself.

8 Ways Redheads Can ‘Go Bed Ugly, Wake Up Pretty’

It's a new trend on TikTok

You might have seen some of the “go to bed ugly, wake up pretty” trending videos as you scroll on social media. It’s a new trend that embraces the idea of doing everything you can at night to wake up looking your best. This means you may spend less time getting ready in the morning. There are a few common steps that most girls are taking when getting ready for bed, but you can customize the routine to fit your skin, hair, and routine. We recommend cleansing your face to remove any dirt or makeup, moisturize to keep  skin hydrated, and consider using products like overnight masks or serums tailored to your skin type. Additionally, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated can also contribute to a refreshed appearance in the morning. Beauty comes from self-care and confidence, so embrace your natural beauty at every step of your routine.

Let’s take a look at a few of the ways you can “go to bed ugly” and “wake up pretty”:

1. Heatless curls

Probably the most common step is the heatless curls. This one saves you the most time in the morning and makes the biggest difference. There are a lot of different ways you can achieve heatless curls, or a heatless blowout overnight.

2. Heavy moisturizer

Before bed is the perfect time to hydrate your skin. This includes your face, your hands, your feet and your arms and legs. Slathering on a heavy moisturizer will have you waking up with soft, smooth, hydrated skin. You can even pop on moisturizing gloves and socks to lock in the hydration on your hands and feet overnight.

3. Pimple Control

Say bye-bye to your pimples and treat them while you sleep. Pimple patches, acne treatments, and drying lotions are all great ways to combat your blemishes while you’re fast asleep in bed.

4. Under-eye cream + patches

Lathering on the under-eye cream and/or under-eye patches can help to reduce puffiness, dryness, and bags under the eyes. Just make sure if you’re using under-eye patches they are safe to be worn for 8+ hours. 

5. Self tanner

We all know a faux tanner left on overnight gives the best glow, and if you haven’t heard of sunless tanner contouring, you’ve got to check it out. Both of these steps will leave you glowing and sculpted in the morning.

6. Lash + brow serums

Another step is lash and brow serums. Warning: make sure they are safe to be worn overnight and won’t irritate your eyes while sleeping. For a more natural option, check out castor oil.

7. Lip hydration

Lip masks, heavy lip balms, and other lip treatments can have you waking up with soft, hydrated lips. We often wipe off our lip balm during the day by talking, eating, and drinking, so this is the perfect time to let it soak in. 

8. Wrinkle prevention

From face taping to chin straps, there are a ton of different products that claim to prevent wrinkles while you sleep. Who knows? It might be worth a try.

How Redheads Can Rock: Highlighter

Let’s talk about how redheads can rock highlighter and feel confident wearing it:

Just like with our How To Wear series, we’re working on a new How Redheads Can Rock makeup series. We talk trends, unique makeup, and makeup stereotypes that redheads face. This time, we’re talking about highlighter!

Have you noticed the gorgeous glow celebs and influencers have? It’s usually because a highlighter is used. If highlighter is done right, it will enhance the face and give a stunning glow — especially in the cheekbone area. Highlighter is one of those products that can feel intimidating, and can look a little off if you aren’t used to applying it right. Let’s talk about how redheads can rock highlighter and feel confident wearing it:

Find the right shade

When it comes to highlighter, there are a ton of color options. From golden-bronzed colors to almost white, and even a few colors like pink and purple. Choosing a highlight color may come down to personal preference, but there are a few tips to help you decide. If you’re a fair-skinned redhead, stay away from the super bronzy options. Those might appear dark on your skin and look muddy. You also want to avoid anything too pink if you have facial redness you’re trying to cover up.

Usually, a good safe option is a champagne color. 

Choose the right formula: liquid or powder

The formula is another personal preference. There are liquid/cream options and also powder options. Liquid/cream highlights are usually a little more subtle, but can be easier to blend and apply. Powder highlight will give you more glow, but needs to be applied more strategically to avoid looking dry or having any patchiness. You can also do a combo for maximum highlight.

How to apply highlighter 

When it comes to applying highlighter, you should be focusing on the highest points of your face. This includes cheekbones, brow bone, the tip of the nose, and your cupid’s bow. You can also apply highlighter to the inner corners of the eye to make them pop!

As far as the actual application, it depends on which type of highlight you have. Liquid and cream highlighters can be applied by gently dabbing with the fingers, a beauty blender, or a makeup brush. Powder highlighter should be applied with a fan brush to get even coverage and blend the edges. 

  • Blend your highlighter out a little. Leaving a harsh edge might look fine in the mirror, but once it catches the light it will be very obvious. Blur the edges gently while keeping the highest point with fuller coverage
  • Balance your foundation and highlight. If you’re wearing a super dewy foundation, go lighter on the highlight. Wearing too much dewy, radiant finish makeup may make your skin look greasy/oily. 
  • Set your highlight, with highlight! If you’re wearing a liquid highlighter, set it with a powder one at the end of your routine. This will make it pop more and make sure you glow all day.
  • Apply in good lighting. While getting the hang of the highlighter application, make sure you apply it in good lighting. Direct natural lighting or good indoor lighting is key. Otherwise, you might be in for a surprise when you step outside.
