For those looking to rock a more shocking hue, red hair has never been hotter. Bold ginger locks are the standout signature of It women like rocker Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine and Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.

Changing color

Contemplating a serious color change? Here are four tips to remember before you dye

Ease into it. Instead of bleaching your brunette locks, start with a few highlights or light caramel pieces to slowly transition into your new look.

Stock up on color friendly products

Consider upkeep. Before switching up your shade, you need to consider how it fits into your lifestyle. Not sure you can commit to regular salon appointments? Try ombre hair color.

Bring in a picture but don't get too attached. Just because you love Isla Fischer's strawberry blonde shade doesn't mean it will realistically work for you. Listen to your colorist.
