Christina Hendricks
Hendricks's deep ginger shade is almost as famous as her gravity defying figure. "Red looks best with fair skintones," colorist Tracey Cunningham says, calling Hendricks's pairing "a perfect match."
Amy Adams
Adams’s deep strawberry blond is a versatile hue that can look girl next door perky or have vixen sex appeal. Her colorist Cunningham says the look was achieved by mixing two shades of red and finishing with a clear gloss for sheen.
Julianne Moore
Moore’s velvety cinnamon hue has become her signature and rarely changes, even for film roles. Colorist Marie Robinson, who works with Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, likes this pigment for those with yellow undertones. "Just avoid shades that look or sound very orange or copper," she says. "And go to the salon in between touch-ups for a gloss refresher."
Florence Welch
Singer Welch has made fire engine hair red hot. "Never start with the reddest shade as you can always brighten it with the next color application," Robinson says.
Nicole Kidman
Kidman’s ethereal apricot blond requires careful handling. "Don't shampoo every day," Robinson advises. "And avoid using heated styling tools everyday, as they damage the outer layer of hair, causing it to release color molecules."
Ashley Greene
Greene's auburns locks are laced with just a touch of café au lait. “A few strategically placed balayage highlights can give a brunette great pop and impact," George Papanikolas, a colorist who has worked with Nicole Richie and Britney Spears, says. "You should never go any lighter than a caramel tone and they should be placed towards the ends of the hair to create the effect of the sun."
Jayma Mays
Mays's sandy tangerine color is accented with copper and caramel lowlights.
Kate Walsh
Walsh's rich henna hue is tinged with toffee highlights.
Isla Fisher
Fisher's earthy coral color has sultry hints of bronze.
Rihanna
Rihanna's fire-engine red shade isn't your typical auburn, but is flattering against her caramel skin and amber eyes.
