Winter Blues

If the holiday season isn’t your thing, or maybe you don’t celebrate Christmas, try a gorgeous winter blue on your nails. From dark to light you can’t go wrong with blue during the colder months of the year.

Will Little Archie Be Another Royal Redhead?

Both parents have to have the redhead gene to create a redhead..

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently where she showed a photo of her and Prince Harry’s son, Archie, age 2. In the photo, Archie is tending to the family’s adorable flock of chickens. The photo shows the back of Archie’s head, which is looking quite coppery! 

When Archie was born he didn’t have much hair but over time his hair has started to look redder and redder. So will young Archie have red hair like his dad? When Prince Harry was little, he wasn’t as red as he is now. In his early years, Prince Harry looked quite like a blonde, but the red came in during his tween and teen years. 

Meghan may carry the MC1R gene even though she is not a redhead. Both parents have to have the redhead gene to create a redhead, which means we might have another redhead royal!

FUN FACT: Archie shares his name with another famous redhead, Archie from Riverdale and the Archie comics.

5 Ways Redheads Can Make Sure Nude Lipstick Won’t Wash Them Out

The Perfect Nude Lipstick is a Redhead Staple!

Updated: September 27, 2023

Nude lipstick is the perfect way to finish off any redhead makeup look and it’s a safe bet no matter what you are wearing. For redheads, choosing the right nude shade is super important because choosing the wrong color can leave you looking washed out. Here are a few tips on how to pick the perfect nude lipstick to complement your redhead complexion.

Looking for the perfect nude lipstick to go with your red hair? Check these out!

How to be a Redhead Finally Bold® Lipsticks

Yes, you heard it right. Finally Bold® is clean, cruelty-free, vegan and made in the USA. Discover three shades made for redheads. Shop now.

1. Go for warm undertones

A beige or cool-toned nude lipstick is going to make your lips look dead and lifeless. Pull your natural flush with a color that has warm undertones. Pink undertones look especially nice on redheads as they imitate the natural pink of your lips and help you have a more natural-looking lip. 

2. Consider your natural lip color

If you’re fair-skinned, you might be drawn towards very light nude lipsticks, but they might not always work for you. Take into account your natural lip color, and pick something that is around that same shade for a more natural look. 

3. Use a lip liner

Using lip liner to help create dimension and a color gradient is a great way to get a nude lip that complements your redhead skin tone. Make sure your lip liner is in the same color family as your lipstick and don’t stray more than 1-2 shades away from your main lip color for a cohesive look.

4. Skip the matte

Matte lipstick is great, but it can leave your lips looking chalky and dull which makes them look like they blend in with your skin. Opt for something with a little more depth like a satin finish to help your lips look more alive. 

5. Try a gloss 

A nude gloss is a great way to give your lips a subtle tint with added shine.

Why You Should Be Using a Dry Texture Spray on Your Red Hair

Say goodbye to crunchy, sticky and heavy hair

Working with freshly clean red hair can sometimes result in it being too soft to hold a style. One solution is to use a dry texture spray. Dry texture spray is a great way to add hold, body, and definition to your red hair. It’s suitable for all hair types, especially if you want to create lift at your roots. It is also great for extending the life of a blowout or other styling and reducing some of the oils at the scalp that could cause a style to fall flat. 

How to use:

Like a hairspray or dry shampoo, simply apply a little dry texture spray to the roots for extra lift. Unlike hairspray, dry texture spray won’t leave your hair feeling sticky, crunchy, or dry. And unlike dry shampoo, it’s not meant to clean the hair, but rather to allow you to work more easily with the hair. 

Here are a few of our favorite ‘redhead friendly’ dry texture sprays for redheads:

1. Finishing spray for piecey texture and hold: Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer 

2. Adding a teasing effect at the roots + all-over texture with a clean finish: R+Co ZIG ZAG Root Teasing Texture Spray 

3. Invisible spray for volume and an alternative to dry shampoo: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

Where Did the Term “Ginger” Come From?

Possible theories about wear the nickname came from

“Ginger” is a nickname or term often used for natural redheads. Some redheads find it offensive, while others have embraced the word and may even call themselves gingers. So where did the term come from? There are a lot of theories about where the term “ginger” came from, let’s explore three of the most common ones. 

Red Ginger Plant

There are vague references to redheads being called “gingers” as far back as the 18th and 19th centuries. This causes some people to believe that the name may have come from the Red Ginger Plant. This plant is not the same as the ginger root we use to cook with today. The Red Ginger Plant has a red flower on top which may have helped create the reference to red hair. 

READ: How Do Redheads Feel About the Term “Ginger”?

Ginger Cookies / Baked Goods

Ginger root is a spice that was used to create numerous cookies and baked goods for centuries. Sweet ginger treats like gingerbread and gingersnap cookies all have a reddish-brown/auburn color that is similar to a natural redhead’s hair coloring.

Gilligan’s Island 

Maybe the most common use of the term “ginger” for a redhead in more modern times is the character Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. She was a redhead named Ginger, and this caused lots of people to use the term as a nickname for the gingers in their life.

4 Ways Redheads Can Get Heatless Curls

Great Style Doesn't Have to Equal Heat Damage!

Styling your red hair without heat is a great way to reduce damage. Heatless styles can also be a timesaver since many of them can be done overnight. Here are a few tips and tricks for getting the perfect heatless curls.

There are a number of methods that can be used to achieve heatless curls. Finding a heatless hairstyle that works for your hair will take some trial and error, so make sure you don’t try a heatless style for the first time before a big event. The heatless curls method that works best will depend on your hair type, length, and texture.

READ: 3 Ways To Achieve Ariel-Like Beachy Textured Waves

Here are some easy tips for heatless curls:

1. Prep Your Hair

Most heatless curl styles are best when done on damp but not wet hair. Some can also be done on dry hair if the hair sits for longer. If you don’t want to wash your hair, try applying water via a spray bottle. Additionally, you can add some light redhead-approve mousse to the hair to help it hold the style while drying.

2. How to get the curl

For the best heatless curls, use product, wrap your hair at night and by the morning, you will have a great wave to your hair.

WATCH TUTORIAL BELOW: 

3. Lock in the Style

You might notice your heatless curls fall out more easily than curls done with a curling iron. To prevent this from happening, make them tighter and apply hairspray to your final look to lock it in place.

4. Touch Up Your Curls

Heatless curl methods aren’t foolproof. This means that you might find a piece or two you missed or that fell out during the process. It’s okay to touch up your heatless curls with a hot tool if they need a little help. Less heat is always better and by doing touch-ups you will be using way less heat than on overall heat style.
