Natural red hair can be more resistant to lightening because it has more pheomelanin—the warm-toned pigment that gives those gorgeous red and copper hues. This pigment is denser and more stable than the kind in brown or black hair, which is why redheads often notice slower or more subtle results when trying to lighten it. Rather than a fast, one-dimensional lift with bleach, a gentler yet buildable approach when lightening red hair can help preserve nuance —creating strawberry blonde highlights that look sunkissed and compliment your natural colour ✨ For a soft, golden lift, mist Solar Hair Lightener into face-framing pieces and reapply once between shampoos until you reach your desired lightness 🌺
