Red was the hottest hair colour last season, but despite traditionally being a winter colour shades from paprika to plum remain a celebrity favourite this summer.Check out these current celebrity red-heads for inspiration...
Drew Barrymore
"Drew's new red colour looks great with her skin tone, however I think it could have been a little richer. She could also have enhanced the finish with brighter, redder tones to accentuate the definition in her hair length. It is on-trend though, especially when combined with the rugged hippy chic texture."

Scarlett Johansson
"Scarlett's tresses are spot-on for the Summer. The colour is a deep, rich red that's glossy and shiny without being too vibrant; suiting her perfectly. It's a wearable shade, but still maintains a fashion-forward edge, leaving her looking incredibly glamorous. Her tone enhances her classic cut, but if she wanted to make it sharper I'd suggest adding in a fringe for a more defined look that would rock with her new red."

Whitney Port
"Whitney's hair is a prime example of how to warm up lighter hair for summer or, alternatively, to add rich tones to a deeper base. Reds are incredibly versatile and, in this case, a subtle, soft hue makes a big impact and adds a modern twist to her usual style. The clever use of this strawberry blonde shade works with her complexion, and also allows flexibility to easily change between light and dark tones."
Jessica Williams, Zaks, Wolverhampton
Blake Lively
"I love Blake's gorgeous new colour. I'm so over her previous look - hair overloaded with bleach highlights. It's a stunning but subtle transformation and so easy to achieve too. This is where a colour technician can use their creative skills to maximum potential. Using a copper tint, but mixing it with an ash blonde will create an iridescent and muted copper tone that is soft and light reflective just like Blake's."
