Vibrant Ginger Hair color for Black Women
The beauty of this hairstyle is how well it compliments the model. Gwendolyn created the ginger color specifically for this model. The hairstyle also features a soft copper-gold hair color underneath. Gwendolyn used different hues of red and gold to get these specific colors. The colors accentuate the model’s deep brown eyes also.
The best hair color in the world means nothing if the hairstyle it covers doesn’t fall right. Along with the custom hair color, Gwendolyn gave her model a precision haircut also. The haircut increases the model’s ability to change up the hairstyle over time.
To achieve this color, Gwendolyn Coxum started off by pre-lightening the model’s natural hair. This first step was actually one of the most complicated. To get the exact shade Gwendolyn was looking for, she needed to lift her model’s hair 4 levels. Gwendolyn was careful to maintain the integrity of her model’s hair through this process. If you’re getting this type of color process, your professional hairstylist is going to want to do a strand test on your hair beforehand.

They decided to go with semi-permanent hair colors to achieve this ginger hair color. Semi-permanent colors are more vibrant and while they do penetrate the cuticle of the hair, they won’t penetrate the cortex. This means that you will be able to switch up colors sooner if you wish.
