Even if you’re not a wine expert, you can still appreciate the rich hue of a fine red wine (not to mention its delicious taste). And what better way to express your gratitude than by dying your hair a deep, regal burgundy?
Burgundy hair is a terrific choice for those who want to add depth to their hair and that unique “je ne sais quoi” to their style. Both blondes and brunettes who want to make a bold statement with their hair color might benefit from this style.
Burgundy hair is a versatile hue with many tones to choose from. The base color is a reddish brown. Like red wine, burgundy comes in a variety of hues, from deep, intense purple to lighter shades of red like maroon or burgundy brown.
WHAT BURGUNDY SHADE Is Best for Your Skin Tone?
With all its shades, burgundy can be worn by people of all complexions. A burgundy with a more violet undertone will look good on people with cooler complexions, while burgundies with a redder or browner undertone would look better on those with warmer skin tones.
WHY AND HOW TO TREAT BURGUNDY HAIR
Care and maintenance are necessary to keep burgundy hair at its most beautiful. Recommend a hair care routine designed for colored hair, like Wella Professionals’ Invigo Color Brilliance line, which helps maintain color for up to 7 weeks, or Wella Professionals’ Color Motion+ line, which helps maintain color while fortifying the hair. In between color appointments, you might suggest a glossing treatment to maintain the hair’s radiance and shine. Learn more about taking care of colored hair to pass along to your customers.
