With spring right around the corner how about adding some color to your hair? Red is very hot right now anything from a Light Reddish Brown to a Deep Mahogany Red with Pink Tones. Have you ever seen Allison Iraheta's hair from American Idol 8? Allison is wearing a very deep Red color with a slight undertone of Pink. Now when I say Pink it doesn't mean you will see the Pink color in her hair like Alexis Grace on American Idol. It just means that in certain lights her hair will reflect a slight Pink Undertone from the reflections of the Mahogany/Burgundy hair color she is wearing. So how would you achieve the color of Allison Iraheta?

If you already have a Medium Brown to a Light Red hair color you will have no problem achieving that bold Red color Allison shows off. The first step to get a bold Red color Like Allison is to choose either a permanent color or a semi-color, but remember a semi-hair dye may fade much quicker, because it doesn't last as long as a permanent hair color dye. Some of the best Red hair dyes on the market are Vampire Red by Manic Panic, Hot Red by Stargazer, Clairol hair color in Paint the Town Red, Neon Red by Paul Mitchell, 0r Reddissimo by Sebastian. The first two mentioned are semi permanent hair dye, but may last on your hair longer depending on the hair condition.

After you have picked your Red hair color of choice it's time to apply it on your head. The Clairol, Paul Mitchell, and Sebastian Red hair dye will be applied to your roots first followed by the ends. Make sure to leave the product on the roots for 20 minutes. Then place the color onto the ends and comb it through the whole head. Allow this to process for at least 10 minutes then rinse out and shampoo lightly.

The Maniac Panic you may leave on your hair anywhere from 30 minutes to the next day. Yes, you may leave the Vampire Red hair color in your hair for hours, but make sure you keep testing a hair strand or your hair may end up way too Red. For the Hot Red by Stargazer you can leave that in your hair up to 40 minutes. Just be careful though, because this color grabs fairly quickly. So now that you know how to get Allison's Iraheta's Red hair how do you style your hair like Allison?

Allison is rocking a very new trendy haircut since her last performance on American Idol that has all the girls talking. Allison Iraheta went from a very long hairstyle to a medium length sassy style with lots of choppy layers.
