Lush Auburn Melt

Here's red with a twist! A rich scarlet auburn melts deliciously into a warm satin-coral ombré. This hue, courtesy of Lauren Redding from Salon 202, is the perfect shade for all your reds as it adds an element of interest and a multidimensional effect that makes it one hot red, no matter the season!
