The colour: High Intensity Auburn
The look: Irish Genetics, Miranda Hobbes, Joan Holloway-Harris
The method: Hazelton thinks red hair can be worn by anyone (much like a Kiss Me I’m Irish t-shirt on St. Patrick’s Day). But appreciating the undertones of your skin helps narrow down the options: warm faces and brighter, more orange colors (SZA, Daphne from Scooby Doo), cool faces and blue-leaning auburn hair (Christina Hendricks, Florence Welch, the red-haired chameleon in this Lindsey Wixson shoot). This particular crimson hue was inspired by Hazelton’s work on the HBO show The Time Traveler’s Wife, where she had to create a wardrobe of reds that would glow in natural light. Even after a long night of toiling in the dungeons of her living room, each wig in the series wasn’t finished until it could be enjoyed in the morning sun.

The colour: A classic ginger infusion

The method: For this story, Hazelton — along with a cohort of fellow colorists — bleached, dyed, and painted five wigs in a spectrum of five gorgeous reds (all inspired by naturally dark blonde Lindsey Wixson). The logical middle ground of this spectrum is this: a spicy shade of not quite brown.
