Explore Red Wig Colors
Choosing a red wig is about much more than choosing between "light" and "dark." Red hair encompasses a remarkably broad spectrum of shades, from delicate strawberry and ginger tones to natural auburn, brilliant copper and deep ruby reds.
ElegantWigs.com offers red wigs with single tones, highlights, lowlights, blended colors and shaded roots, giving you plenty of options for finding a red that feels natural, dimensional and uniquely yours.
Auburn Wigs
Auburn wigs combine red and brown tones for a rich, natural-looking color that can range from lighter warm auburn to deep reddish brown.
Auburn is one of the most versatile red color families because manufacturers can blend it with brown, copper, ginger or brighter red highlights. ElegantWigs.com carries colors such as Rusty Auburn, along with numerous multidimensional auburn blends.
Copper Wigs
Want a brighter, warmer red? Explore copper wigs.
Copper shades emphasize warm red, orange and golden undertones and can range from subtle brown-copper blends to brilliant fiery copper.
Popular colors available on ElegantWigs.com include Fiery Copper and Chocolate Copper, while Gabor offers shades such as Dark Copper and multidimensional colors combining brown with copper highlights.
Ginger Wigs
Ginger wigs typically combine warm red, copper, golden and light-brown tones for a softer approach to red hair.
You'll find ginger appearing both as a dominant color and as highlights within dimensional shades. ElegantWigs.com carries options ranging from Ginger Brown and ginger-highlighted brunette shades to lighter ginger and strawberry-inspired colors.
Strawberry Blonde Wigs
Sitting beautifully between the blonde and red color families, strawberry blonde wigs combine blonde with warm red, copper or strawberry tones.
These shades are an excellent option for someone who wants warmth without choosing a deeper red. Depending on the brand and style, you'll find colors such as Shaded Strawberry Blonde and other strawberry shades incorporating blonde highlights or darker roots.
Dark Red, Ruby & Burgundy-Inspired Wigs
For deeper color, explore dark red wigs and shades incorporating ruby, burgundy and red-brown tones.
These colors can range from sophisticated dark auburn to more dramatic jewel-toned reds. Raquel Welch, for example, offers Deepest Ruby, which blends dark auburn and ruby-red tones, while Gabor offers Sangria, an intense fiery red-brown shade.
Rooted & Shaded Red Wigs
A rooted red wig combines a red, auburn, copper or strawberry color with darker roots.
The darker root creates contrast and dimension while recreating the appearance of salon color growing naturally from the scalp. Depending on the manufacturer, these colors may be identified as Rooted, Shaded or through letters within the manufacturer's color code.
Raquel Welch's Shaded Iced Pumpkin Spice, for example, brings strawberry-blonde and deeper red-brown tones together in a shaded color.

For additional styling versatility, consider a heat-friendly synthetic red wig. These specialty fibers can be restyled with approved heat tools according to the manufacturer's recommended temperature and care instructions.
Heat-friendly collections also offer some especially sophisticated red colors, including auburn, copper, ruby, russet and rooted shades.
Short, Medium & Long Red Wigs
Find your favorite red shade in virtually every hairstyle and length.

Texture adds another dimension. Depending on the style, you can find straight, wavy and curly red wigs in colors ranging from subtle auburn to vibrant copper and red.
How to Choose the Right Red Wig
Start by deciding how subtle or dramatic you'd like your red to be.
For a softer transition into red, consider strawberry blonde, ginger, reddish brown or brown shades with copper highlights. For a classic red-haired appearance, explore auburn and copper. For something richer or more dramatic, consider dark red, ruby or fiery red shades.
Next, consider dimension. Highlighted, blended, shaded and rooted reds combine multiple tones rather than relying on one uniform color, which can create greater visual depth.
Finally, compare each manufacturer's color photographs and descriptions carefully. Wig colors can look different depending on lighting, screen settings and fiber type, and similar-looking colors may have completely different names from one wig brand to another.
