Check out this Hollywoodlife.com article that features top tips for going (and staying) red from L’Oréal Professionnel Color Ambassador Joel Warren.

Warren recommends INOA to maintain bright colors such as ‘Mad Men’ actress Christina Hendrick's fiery red locks. Why? “It is the first ammonia free professional hair color . It leaves the hair in better condition than if you didn’t color it” says Joel.

Who knew the ‘Mad Men’ actress is a natural blonde and you’ll never guess who gave her the craving for red hair. We reveal all and tell you how to go ravishing red!

Christina Hendricks reveals that she has been dying her hair since she was ten years old with the help of her mom! See why and get top tips for going (and staying) red from celebrity hair colorist Joel Warren, of the Warren-Tricomi salon.

Christina explains that her red hair inspiration initially came from a childhood favorite.

“I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables, so I wanted red hair,” Christina tells the mag. “My mom said, ‘I’ll throw a rinse on it.’”

Dying her hair all these years must be trying on those red strands! I asked Joel his advice on how to maintain a bright color for a long period of time.

“Always maintain your hair with products that are best for your hair. I only use INOA by L’Oreal Professional on my clients,” says Joel. “It is the first ammonia free professional hair color . It leaves the hair in better condition than if you didn’t color it. My philosophy is the condition of the hair is as important as the color.”

Christina is a natural blonde, that’s now known as a classic redhead (just like Emma Stone!). As a naturally dark-haired woman, I want to know if anyone can get such a vibrant shade.

“There are no limits today with hair color, anybody can basically be any color,” explains Joel. “It is the process to get there that is the most important part when making a big change.”

So can a girl with any skin tone try a fire engine red?

“Yes. Hair color should be fun, there are no rules in my book except it has to look hot and can’t compromise the condition of the hair.”

Now that’s something that everyone should agree with!

Master Class: Hot-Weather Hair Tips

Fight frizz and color-fading with these expert summer hair suggestions. Want more step-by-step tips to mastering your favorite hair and beauty looks?


Easy Hairstyles

"I've prepped Kim Cattrall to film in Morocco and Argentina and also styled models for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue," says celebrity hairstylist Ryan Trygstad of NYC's Marie Robinson Salon. "Sizzling temperatures, UV, chlorine, and sweat should never prevent anyone from having a perfect mane during the hottest, most humid months." Here, Trygstad shares his secrets






Homework

As the mercury rises, stock up on shampoos, conditioners, and styling products with UV- and heat-protection. "The sun, arid environments, and salt water dry out ends incredibly fast, so I tell my clients to use an at-home reconstructive mask at least once a week," advises Trygstad. "After you apply the mask, wrap hair with a hot towel to help the ingredients absorb faster. Rinse out your hair when the towel is cool to the touch."

MC TIP: Dyed brunettes and redheads should cleanse weekly with a color-deposit shampoo to prevent fading.



Poolside Protection

"The more processed your hair is — keratin treatments, highlights, etc. — the more porous and susceptible to damage it becomes," says Trygstad. Since hair can absorb only so much water, dampen strands with drinking water before swimming and comb through a leave-in conditioner. "This will create a barrier against UV and chemicals," he adds.

MC TIP: In a pinch, prevent a sunburned scalp by combing a small palm full of white sunscreen (yellow formulas can tint pale hair) through your strands, starting at the roots.





Tools + Tricks

Trygstad's troubleshooting must-haves: open-ended bobby pins, gloss cream, and body oil spray. "Wet hair is more prone to breakage, and these pins are gentler," explains Trygstad. "Use them to secure updos when you need to hide brassy highlights or want to pull back damp hair for a night out." Use a body oil spray or a light texturizing balm to conceal split ends in tousled waves.

MC TIP: For a perfect, sun-safe beachy look, spritz damp hair with an oil spray containing sunscreen and loosely weave strands into a side braid.




Easy Upkeep

"Always, always, always rinse hair with a clarifying shampoo after swimming to remove color- and texture-altering impurities," notes Trygstad. And don't scrimp on salon visits. "During the summer, you should get trims every month instead of every six weeks to prevent split ends."

MC TIP: Reach for a beer. Rinsing with a pale brew post-swim can help prevent blondes from going green. (The hops neutralize the chlorine.) Just be sure to shampoo after letting the beer sit for a few minutes.
