When it comes to choosing the perfect set of red hair extensions , the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re naturally blessed with ginger locks or have embraced the red hair renaissance through hair dye, finding the right shade to match your unique look is key.

From rich auburn hair extensions to striking copper tones, our curated collection features an array of luxurious red shades designed to seamlessly blend with your style. In today’s blog, we’ll guide you through how to choose the best colours for ginger hair, so whether you’re leaning towards fiery, bright red or something more subtle like strawberry blonde, you’ll know exactly what colours go with ginger hair and how to elevate your look effortlessly!

Although red hair is incredibly popular, only 2% of the world's population have naturally red hair, which is no surprise that redheads often have a harder time finding human hair extensions that match their hair coour due to the lack of variation in shades.

There is such a wide range of hair extension colours available, but if you look a little closer, you’ll notice that when it comes to red hair, there is a visible lack of variety. You’ll often find a couple shades of red hair which are either too bright or just appear orange.

However, here at Cliphair, we offer a variety range of red shades that have been specially dyed to ensure that each shade naturally blends in with a range of red hair colours.

We have various red shades to choose from, including, copper, bright and mixed tones, so you have the option to go with darker, lighter or mild ones to match your hair accordingly. Based on our signature red tones, we break down how to choose the right colour of red extensions that blend perfectly with your natural or dyed ginger hair.

Strawberry/ Ginger Blonde (#27)

Our strawberry/ ginger blonde shade is one of our most popular colours in the red hair colours range. This golden honey, red toned shade looks refined with its gold undertones that elevate any style. This is the lightest shade of red in our range. The colour also offers more flexibility as it is naturally flattering to fair skin, but also flattering for a variety of skin tones, and often complements natural blondes or redheads. It makes an easy colour to work with when adding to your own hair. If you aren’t ready to fully commit to the full strawberry/ ginger blonde look, try adding highlights of this colour throughout your mane.

Bright Red Hair Extensions

This red is for the bold, and as this is not a natural red hair colour, our Bright Red hair extensions are for those looking for a vivid, intense colour. If you are naturally a redhead, we recommend this colour if you’re considering going brighter. As red hair is thicker and holds its pigment stronger than any other hair colour, it’s best to avoid bleaching as it damages the hair. If you are looking for a colour match, this colour would be more suitable for a more orange base red than a pink base.

The colour is really vibrant, so if you wish to add a pop of colour, bright red clip in highlights will stand out well against medium brown hair. The bright red shade is easy to wash, curl and responds well to styling.

Light Auburn (#30)

A sophisticated shade of russet auburn, our light auburn hair extensions are made up of a dark brown base with tints of red and orange throughout.

This colour especially completements those with a pale skin complexion.

For those who want to try auburn without going too dark, this light auburn shade makes the perfect choice. 

Dark Auburn/Copper Red (#33)

This hair colour sits right between red and brown hair, creating a copper hue that’s rich, warm and flattering for most skin tones and hair colours. The advantage of this colour is its slight change in colour under the light. Under light, the hair appears more vivid, usually changing from its dark chocolatey hues to a rusty copper shade.

Dark auburn/ copper red is also a natural hair colour, making it appear naturally luscious. If you have darker hair and wish to switch to a flattering lighter colour that has hints or red undertones, then this shade will certainly intensify your look. Depending on your skin tone, this colour will either have a vibrant or soft appearance.

Ginger/Natural Red (#350)

Our most natural red shade, this colour blends well with most red hair colours. This classic, warm and rich ginger shade is perfect for those with copper-ginger red hair and also makes the right pick for natural redheads who often find it hard to find true ginger extensions to match their hair.

The shade has warm copper and red undertones, which become visible under direct sunlight.

Mahogany Red (#99J)

This rich, glossy shade has a reddish-brown hair colour with some cool violet undertones. This tone also complements those with brunette hair, however, because this shade is a multi-dimensional colour, it has both cool and warm tones, meaning it works just well with any complexion. Opt for this colour to add radiance and glow to dull brown hair, or if you wish to go darker, this colour is perfect for those transitioning from lighter colours. This is a colour that delivers vibrancy, shine and depth to your hair.

Plum/Cherry Red (#530)

A natural blend of red and purple, the plum/ cherry red shade is great for anyone looking for a powerful but fun look without going too bright and intense.

This shade easily blends with hair that’s already brown, but also works with those with warm undertones. If you maintain your plum extensions, this colour will continue to look rich and lustrous under any light.
