You’ll have to go light first.

To achieve that vibrant red color associated with red velvet cake, you’ll have to go light before you can go red. Your stylist will likely bleach your strands to a light enough shade so that the red hair dye shows up with as much vibrancy as possible. This will cause some inevitable damage to your strands so it’s best to be prepared for that going in.

There’s some maintenance involved.

As with any time you dye your hair there will be some maintenance involved. You’ll have to revisit your stylist every six weeks or so to get your roots done and it would be wise to switch over to a color safe wash and care system. Nexxus Color Assure Rebalancing Shampoo and Conditioner are a great option for keeping your color strong and your strands healthy. We suggest switching over to this duo as soon as you get your hair done.

Be mindful of what flatters your features.

Listen to your stylist and trust their guidance when it comes to choosing the exact shade of red they think is best. They’ve been trained to choose colors that flatter you and they will help tailor your red velvet hair color to your unique features.
