reddishblond

Reddishblond is a hair color describing a blond base with noticeable red or copper undertones. It lies between blond and red on the color spectrum and is often linked to the strawberry blond shade, though not all reddishblond tones are strawberry blond.

Natural occurrence: It can occur when melanin pigments in the hair are present in a specific balance, yielding a light red-gold effect. The phenotype is more common among people of Northern European ancestry and involves variants of the MC1R gene, which influences red hair coloration. However, reddishblond can appear in individuals without classic red hair genes, and shade depth varies.

Shade range and examples: Reddishblond covers a spectrum from pale strawberry blonde to deeper copper-blonde. In dyed form, professionals recreate it by blending blonde foundations with copper, rose, or apricot tones; name variants include strawberry blond, honey copper, and golden red-blonde.

Care: The color can fade or shift with sun, heat, and washing. Maintenance involves color-safe shampoos, UV protection, and regular refreshers to maintain the balance between blond and red tones; toning may also be used to manage brassiness.

In fashion and culture: reddishblond is popular for its warm, flattering look on fair skin and is a frequent choice in hair styling and cosmetic products. Trends related to this shade can vary with season and styling preferences.
