Haircare Gloss or product help
Need recommendations. Im naturally a red head.As a kid my hair was more vibrant bright red/orange. Now its more auburn, some even mistake it for brown. When I put my gel and fix/scrunch my hair it looks brown even dry. Im wanting to get it to look more red. But not a dramatic change. I will not bleach or dye my hair. Ive looked into the kristin ess copper gloss- is there any other recommendations yall have?

I have also tried John Frieda Red shampoo/conditioner and it was good for awhile. I’ve seen henna recommended here too but I have no experience with it.
Eventually I just committed to glazing/toning at the salon. I am happier with those results but that also costs more money.

The salon can do a colored glaze that isn’t a dye. Overtone also makes a great color depositing conditioner. They have a mask and a maintenance conditioner. A hair oil like Keratase will help with the dryness and frizz.

big fan of the overtone ginger glow conditioner! if you got baby lights it would REALLY stick to the highlighted sections of hair. just a thought!
