Burgundy Hair: how to choose this shade?

In a broader sense, and, of course, when it comes to hair color, the concept of burgundy covers a wide range of shades, for example, Dark Burgundy, Red Velvet, Maroon, Magenta, Mulled Wine and others.

Cooler burgundy shades that contain a lot of red and purple colors work best on clients with pink and olive skin tones. Warmer burgundy shades with more brown undertones suit peachy and golden complexions.

For fair skin, shades such as dark burgundy and red velvet are suitable.

Dark Burgundy, or Maroon

The dark burgundy shade contrasts well with fair skin, which is why it comes in first place. But more broadly speaking, this shade is a win-win option for any skin tone.

Red Velvet, or Red Velvet

This is a rich, bright shade of red from the burgundy color group. It is perfect for clients with light skin tones.

Maroon, or Brown-raspberry

This color is very close to burgundy, with the difference that burgundy is a mixture of red and purple. Burgundy hair color looks incredibly cool and suits any hair length. But after dyeing, do not forget to style your hair beautifully, because the waves beautifully highlight the color.

If the client has a tanned skin tone, we recommend taking a closer look at shades called Deep PlumIt's and Magenta.

Deep Plum, or Deep plum

Yes, a very deep plum shade that you should also pay attention to. This burgundy hair color will not only highlight your facial features, but will also suit any hair length - short, long or medium.

Magenta, or Purple

You can use this shade to create a subtle hint of purple to try out the color but not use it all over. Purple and more will fit perfectly into the framework of techniques, for example, ombre or balayage.

For a good combination, clients with dark skin tones should pay attention to Mulled Wine and Auburn.

Mulled Wine, or Mulled Wine

Like a cozy seasonal drink, mulled wine for hair is characterized by a dark red, almost purple hue with hints of orange and/or chocolate brown throughout. Of course, this is almost the most successful shade of burgundy for those with dark skin tones. Mulled Wine has a bit of a wintery feel to it, probably because of the name.

Auburn – a mix of copper and chestnut colors

This is a rich and warm variety of dark red that is ideal as an attractive and cheerful hair color for fall and winter. It's not too harsh and can't be missed on dark hair - just the perfect neutral!
