From warm gingery hues, as seen on Gigi Hadid, to bold ombré styles sported by SZA, our fave celebs have proved there’s something about red hair that’s just so, so good right now. After a long time at home, it’s evident that celebrities and everyday folks alike are ready to shake things up by experimenting with new hair colors. Enter: the best red wigs we’ve found to get you in on the trend with ease.

Though TikTok may have hyped-up red hair for the summer, the truth is red hair has always been a must-try fall hair color. If you didn’t jump on red hair for the summer, Shvonne Perkins, colorist at Madison Reed, suggests you consider the fall as your second chance.

With a rise in folks coloring their hair at home, and our growing desire to make up for all the missed hair opportunities in 2020, Perkins sees red hair being hotter than ever this fall. “My two favorite red shades are copper and mahogany, which make me think of the fall leaves,” she tells STYLECASTER. “The general vibe of autumn is about richness and warmth.” A general guideline, she explains, is that fair skin and freckly complexions look great with copper-based reds, while olive-toned skin looks gorge with cool violet reds.

With so many shades and undertones of red hair, you’re sure to find your perfect match to transition from summer into fall. The versatility of red hair makes it a flattering color for any and everyone to dabble in. And th easest way to do that is with wigs. Whether you want to give ginger a go or a true red, wigs are the perfect way to give red hair a spin without the commitment or upkeep. From too-good-to-be-true synthetic units to virgin investment pieces, here are our picks for the best red wig units. Get ready to bring on the heat this fall.

Red Fringe

Bangs are yet another hairstyle trend that is perfect for the fall. Not only does fringe add a little bit of fun to a basic style, but bang wigs don’t require any glues or adhesive for application. If you’re looking for a fun yet low-maintenance hairstyle for the fall, a fiery red bang wig is the one.

Headband Wig

In case you haven’t heard, headband wigs are a must-have in your wig stash. This style of wig, which was initially popularized due to a lace shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic, requires no manipulation of lace, making it a great beginner-friendly option or for the time-crunched wiganista on the go.

Rooty Bob

When it comes to trying bold hair shades like red for the first time, dark roots are your best friend. Particularly if your hair is naturally dark, the transition from dark roots to red hair makes the color feel less intimidating. This wig also features a pre-plucked hairline to make your new red hair look as realistic as possible.

Estelle Wig.

Straight Wig

When in doubt, straight wigs are always a great way to go. For starters, if you’re not a pro at curling your hair, styling your wig with a flat iron is much more straightforward (no pun intended). Opt for a 13×6 frontal unit like this burgundy wig for a natural, scalp-like look.

WestKiss.

Curly Hair

When it comes to curly wig units, the bigger, the better. Big curly hair instantly gives off major diva vibes (think Chaka, Diana and Beyonce). With a fiery red twist, it’s indeed a force to be reckoned with. But, be sure to detangle and moisturize your curly hair units regularly. Try the EZ Detangler Brush ($6.99 at Amazon), which works wonders for detangling natural curly and coily hair.

Ebony.

Trendy Shag

Speaking of bangs and glueless installs, another styling option is this wavy bang unit in a trendy shag cut. Made from 100 percent Remy human hair, this super-affordable unit is excellent to ease into red locks without setting your bank account ablaze.

Ebony.

Glam Ginger Wig

Every year like clockwork, it seems like synthetic wigs get better and more realistic — these lace-front wigs are all the proof. This ginger unit named Catalina features swiss lace and deep parting for a natural look. Did we mention the pre-attached elastic band for extra security? You’re welcome.

Ebony.

Long Curls

If extra-long locks are your vibe for the fall, allow us to introduce you to “Tamara.” This fall-ready unit features dark roots, for that easy-to-wear look. Also, 360 lace is a must-have if you’re looking to spice up the fall by making a major hair statement.

Those of us who have pledged allegiance to K-Beauty (and poured hard-earned dollars into it) understand that the East Asian beauty influence is a total game-changer — particularly in the skincare field. If your medicine cabinet is filled with cute packaging containing face masks, lotions and powders, you’re deep in the game. The only downside to this K-beauty addiction? Getting your fix and knowing exactly where to buy Korean beauty products in the U.S.

You can find lots of your favorite products on eBay at really reasonable and competitive prices, but the catch is that it’s hard to tell if the product is genuine, and it takes forever to get to your door since they ship from, well, Asia. Bookmark this handy list of all the places to buy K-beauty goods with US distributors so you can stock up on everything you love, ASAP. Some places you already visit, such as Sephora and Ulta (surprise!), while others you might never have heard of before. Sit back and shop right from your couch or your phone and grab these stellar K-beauty products.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. d’Alba Piedmont is a STYLECASTER sponsor, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Soko Glam

By now, you’ve probably seen Charlotte Cho extol the virtues of her favorite Korean beauty products. Well, Soko Glam is her shopping HQ. You’ll find a highly curated selection of Korean skincare products from brands such as d’Alba Piedmont and Neogen, as well as color cosmetics. If it’s on Soko Glam, it’s already a cult product in Korea. Not sure what to try? Check out “The Klog,” where Cho writes about all the new products she’s trying, star ingredients to look out for, and K-beauty trends. She’s even launched her own skincare line, Then I Met You.

Glow Recipe.

Glow Recipe

Sarah Lee and Christine Chang founded Glow Recipe after working together at L’Oreal. The site first started as a K-beauty e-retailer stocking other brands, but as success grew, so did a brand new brand: Glow Recipe Skincare. The duo has had huge success with its watermelon and avocado-based lines.

The Creme Shop.

The Crème Shop

This ultra-affordable Korean beauty brand is known for its cute collabs with Hello Kitty, Trolls and Line Friends. There’s almost nothing this company doesn’t make — in adorable packaging, of course — including skincare, color cosmetics, body products, spa accessories, beauty tools, face masks and more. Almost every best-selling products costs less than $10.

Peach & Lily

A playground for skincare junkies, Peach & Lily is your go-to for highly vetted K-beauty products, including its own namesake brand. Founded by Alicia Yoon, a Harvard Business grad who went from beauty enthusiast to skincare expert, she fills the digital shelves of Peach & Lily with products she’s tried herself and sourced from her many trips to South Korea. The best part of this store? The variety. You’ll find lesser-known K-beauty brands (like Shangpree) alongside ones you’ve probably seen around (like Banila Co.), plus the stellar in-house line, so you’ll always have something new and amazing to try.

Missha

Famed for its skincare, Missha’s US webshop is the ultimate K-beauty destination. The best part of this store? Not only is shipping incredibly fast, but it always seems to be having a sale, offering up to 40 percent off the products you already wanted to try (hint: we suggest the cult BB creams). It’s also worth signing up for their newsletter so that you’ll know the second new products come in.

Dermstore.

Dermstore

You might not expect Dermstore to be your spot for K-beauty goodies, but the luxe retailer has some of the best brands around. While you’re picking up Olaplex faves and awesome value sets, be sure to add Korean products from CosRx, 3Lab and Boscia, too. You won’t be sorry.

Target.

Target

Don’t think Target is just here for your drugstore beauty needs. There are those too, of course. But while you’re picking up your usual favorites (plus, new clothes and toilet paper and basically everything else!), click on over to the Korean beauty section and find stellar brands including Sweet Chef, I Dew Care and AHC.

Nordstrom.

Nordstrom

Like Target, Nordstrom stocks some of the best beauty brands around. But unlike Target, Nordstrom’s are of the luxe variety. That goes for Korean beauty, too. We’re big fans of Amorepacific and Sulwhasoo, two Korean skincare brands that aren’t cheap but are worth the money. Keep an eye on them during Nordstrom’s big yearly sales.

Image: Urban Outfitters.

Urban Outfitters

The beauty section of Urban Outfitters has become its own oasis of fun, international beauty brands. It offers a decent amount of K-beauty color cosmetics and skincare from bigger brands like TonyMoly and Hanskin. If you’re a K-beauty newbie, this is a great first stop. Not all UO stores carry every K-beauty brand featured on its website, but you can get a touch and feel of the products you’re considering, all while you’re browsing for your next ‘fit.

Image: Glow Recipe.

Sephora

You may not have spotted them among their hundreds of brands, but Sephora has been gradually stocking some higher-end Korean skincare brands — Glow Recipe, Dr. Jart+ and its very own Primera — with some fun color cosmetics from Kaja and Touch In Sol.

Buy: I’M MEME Matte To Go $8

Amazon

Don’t dismiss Amazon as just a place to buy your favorite K-beauty staples. The company partnered with multiple stellar Korean beauty brands to stock their skincare, haircare and color cosmetics. We especially love I’m Meme, Etude House and The Face Shop.

Image: Ulta.

Ulta

You already shop at Ulta for its killer mix of both luxury and affordable products. We’ve been continually impressed with the way its added Korean beauty products to the mix, including Hanskin, Belif and I Dew Care.

Image: CosRx.

AKOCO

The newest kid on the stateside block is a hodgepodge of every K-beauty brand you can think of, whether it’s high-profile or an indie darling. In addition to curating an extensive range of hair, makeup and skin essentials, AKOCO (an acronym for All About Korean Cosmetics), also has a blog where shoppers can read reviews and preview the monthly subscription box.

Image: TonyMoly.

TonyMoly

This K-beauty giant has a firm hold in the US market‚ since many of its greatest hits are already found in mainstays like Sephora. Previously, you couldn’t find their full range of products unless you visited one of their shops in Manhattan or Los Angeles — but now it has a fully-stocked online store. Now you can buy your Panda hand creams and Bunny face misters at midnight and have them in the amount of time it takes to ship from NYC.

Image: CosRx.

oo35mm

This tiny boutique in Chinatown, NYC, is pretty much the gateway to all the new K-beauty products. With a wide range of skincare, haircare, and color cosmetics, you can just as easily find 10 new things to try as well as pick up your staples. If you’re not in NYC, it has an online shop that ships throughout the US. It also offers member discounts and freebies for frequent buyers — score.

Every person has a unique life story. There is no such thing as two life stories being the same. As a life story writing coach and memoir teacher, I believe everyone should take the time to put their story on paper.

Forgive yourself for past mistakes, embrace the past sorrow, pat yourselves on the back for the good times, and sit down and write about your life.

Why do I say that with such urgency? Because writing your life story is not only a gift to yourself, but also a gift for family and friends, as well as generations of families not yet born.

Let’s examine why you should write your life story:

Write Your Life Story for Yourself

Firstly, write the story for yourself. By writing the stories from your life you help yourself form a clearer understanding of who you are and how you got to where you are. You learn about yourself, and often bring closure to issues. Treat yourself to the experience.

I wrote the memoir Eating the Walls after the death of my husband and raising two girls alone. Through writing the memoir I was able to understand with great clarity why I had made the choices I did. Writing our life stories is cathartic and enlightening.

Write to Leave a Legacy

Secondly, leave a legacy for family and friends. In today’s fast-paced world, there is never enough time to sit down with family and tell them about your childhood, career or romances. Your written life story can give them a book about who you are and where you came from.

I often wish I had thought to ask my mother more about her life prior to marriage and family. I wish I had the opportunity to learn about that woman. Sadly, I thought about it too late.

Maybe your family does not have the time to read your stories today, but there will come a time in their life when they would want to know who you were and why you made the choices you did.

Write to Preserve Family History

How did you experience the history of your time? Preserve those stories by writing about them. Black and white television with no remote controller! No cell phones – remember the phone was attached to the wall!

Share your version of who you are!

A few years back, completed a memoir with a 91-year-old man. We met weekly, with his daughter recording the stories, many of which she had never heard before. Every time we met, laughter and tears filled the room as we weaved together a memoir that children and grandchildren will have forever.

The process was as enjoyable as the end result. At our last meeting, the daughter said to me, “My father has a new love of life. For the first time in his life, he speaks about how proud he is of his achievements, and how he is ready to forgive himself for his mistakes because he now realizes that he tried his best. After witnessing how my father has changed, I believe the most healing thing a person can do is share their story.”

How do you start to write?

Create a Writing Schedule

10 minutes a day or a page a day is better than nothing. Use the old-fashioned egg timer and just write!

Create a Structure

You can write your story in different ways: chronologically, by life themes, or from your senses.

Chronological

When writing chronologically, I recommend that you first make a life chart. On the chart write your age in five-year intervals – 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.

Next to the number note any major life events or branching points, when you could have gone one way or the other. This will allow you to see your life clearly. Each week you can focus on writing about one life event.

Life Themes

Here are some life themes that the majority of people experience – childhood family, romance, education, career, spirituality, health, gender, adult family, friends. Make lists of events under each theme, and then write the individual stories.

Senses

Our senses are wonderful memory closets. A certain scent or taste can often bring back a flood of memories. Play music that evokes memories and then begin to write; look at a picture from the past and write; open an old bottle of perfume and write. Cook a favorite childhood food and then write. Allow your senses to open up the stories of your life.

Stay tuned for my next article which will focus on where to begin your memoir and how to write the first chapter.

Are you interested in writing your life story? Many people want to write their life stories but never start. Have you ever tried? What stops you from starting? Please join the conversation.
