Redheads are in right now! The fiery color is all over the runway, and it looks good on everyone. But sometimes you’ll hear people asking if they can dye their hair red when they’re actually auburn-haired. So what’s the difference? And should you consider going from red to auburn? We’re here to help.

Auburn hair is a mixture of red and brown.

Auburn hair is a mixture of red and brown. Red hair, on the other hand, is a combination of black and yellow. Red is one of the two most dominant colors in your scalp’s melanin production process (the other being brown).

Auburn hair contains both red pigments and brown pigments; whereas with red hair you have more than just one pigment at play here–you’ve got both black and yellow as well as some white thrown into your genetic mix too!

The term “Auburn” comes from the Latin word “albus” which means white.

In fact, it is a mixture of red and brown hair colors that has blue undertones. The word “red” in English has its origin in Old English rudd or rodde (the same as modern German roth). It was used as an adjective for red hair and skin color; however, it wasn’t until later when it became used as an adverb to describe something or someone as being very bright or intense (e.g., red hot). The word ‘Auburn’ refers to a particular shade within this spectrum of colors but doesn’t necessarily indicate anything about its origin other than being associated with Auburn University located in Alabama where many people with this type live today!

The more copper in your hair, the more gold they will be.

The more copper in your hair, the more gold they will be. Copper is a red pigment, so if you have a lot of copper in your hair and it’s not toned down by other colors (like silver), then it will turn into a reddish-gold color like this:

The same principle applies to all shades of red–the brighter and more vibrant your shade of red is, the higher likelihood that it contains some amount of copper or orange pigments as well.

Auburn hair has blue undertones.

Auburn hair has blue undertones. The copper in your hair is what gives it that beautiful, rich color.

If you want to enhance the blue undertones in your auburn locks, try using a blue shampoo or conditioner! This will bring out even more of those gorgeous blues and greens. If you’d like to reduce the amount of blue in your hair (maybe because it makes you look like an ice-cream sundae), try using purple shampoo instead.

Red hair can range from strawberry blonde to cherry red, but it usually has a warmth to it that blends nicely with other colors.

Red hair can range from strawberry blonde to cherry red, but it usually has a warmth to it that blends nicely with other colors. Redheads are often associated with fair skin and freckles, but they can also have dark complexions. Because it’s such a rare natural hair color, redheads are often seen as exotic or unique by others who don’t share their genes!

Redheads are also known for having blue eyes–but not all will have this trait! If you’re wondering what color eyes your child might have when they grow up (assuming he or she inherits the gene), check out our article on genetic traits passed down through generations here: https://www.auburnandredhairblog/genetics/.

Auburn is definitely a shade on the red spectrum, but it isn’t exactly “red”.

Auburn hair can range from strawberry blonde to cherry red. It’s a mixture of red and brown while also having blue undertones. Red hair tends to be more orange-based and has more yellow in its pigmentation than auburn does (which is why some people say that they have “strawberry blonde” or “cherry” colored hair).

Red hair is a unique and beautiful color that can be hard to find. If you’re looking for an alternative, try Auburn!
