Just a note with the color red, most of us are used to brunettes, black, blonds, and tone down reds as the norm and the only shades of hair in period. Though your style is modern for female please do not assume that your red is modern color as well (even if it is dyed). I have met redheads that have what folks would call a modern color but it was natural color. One person I worked with had bright orange hair with a streak of black. As you can guess the black was the dyed part and she had to draw in eyebrows. Now if the red is a shade of pink then I would say how dark or hot pink as I have seen natural strawberry blonds have the tone of pink to the hair but this may have been due to swimming in a pool. Short hair: Depending on the region/country and class you have a variety of headcovering. There are some head coverings that cross borders and classes but not all. Are you looking for lower class, middle class, upper class? English, French, Italian, German.....?? Late German 1400s, the women had extentions and padding in their hair.
