The answer: green!

 

Tiffany Reese, Styling Marketing Lead at Stitch Fix, exclusively told us, "Green hues look incredible on redheads; whether it's mint, olive or teal, you can count on green to make your hair color pop."

 

Perfection! But that's not all, Tiffany breaks it down ever further for us by different shades of red.

"To find your perfect shade of green, take a cue from your hair color!," Tiffany advises. "Strawberry blondes look best in lighter shades of green, like mint."

 

What about more ruby redheads?

"Ruby redheads are ideal in rich shades of green such as emerald and evergreen," Tiffany explains. 

 

"Be adventurous though, because if you’re rocking red locks, you are going to look incredible in a plethora of green tones.”

 

That's great advice coming from a professional!
