How to choose paint?
Achieving cherry color at home is impossible without using high-quality and correctly selected paint. Quite a lot of options are presented in the mass market.
For example, Palette brand gives you the opportunity to choose between a dozen shades from “Purple Cherry” to “Red Wine”. A fairly extensive palette is presented in Garnier Here you can find such beautiful shades as “Black Cherry” and “Mahogany”. U Faberlic There are three cherry tones available, and London Professional– just two that lean more toward purple.
Professional Matrix brand offers three to choose from suitable colors. U Estel there are many more, including Mahogany, Burgundy and Beaujolais. Other suitable manufacturers include Revlon, Nouvelle and Selective Professional.
In general, all dyes can be divided into three groups according to the durability of the pigment.
The first group consists of tint products that are washed off after just 6-8 shampooing procedures. The second combines dyes whose pigment disappears after 24 washes. Finally, the third group includes the most durable paints. This indicator is usually indicated on the packaging.
Tint products are also presented in the form of tonics, mousses, foams and balms. They should be selected a tone lower than the existing hair color. Apply the product to wet hair and then leave it on as per the instructions. In principle, the longer the substance is on the strands, the more effective the result will be. It is important to understand that tint products are still washed off quite quickly.
The most popular natural dye is henna.
Its main advantage is not only obtaining the required shade, but also the absence of harm to the hair. During the procedure, henna is mixed with heated red wine or beet juice until the substance begins to resemble sour cream in consistency. To obtain a more pomegranate hue, you will need to use cranberry juice as the liquid. The finished mixture is mixed until the lumps completely disappear, after which it is applied to the entire length of the hair.
The head is wrapped in a towel and left in this state for approximately 4 hours. In this case, rinsing is carried out without shampoo, but it is still worth using a balm. As a rule, repeating henna coloring is required 2 to 3 times.
If possible, cherry hair coloring should be entrusted to professionals, since this color is considered far from the simplest. Most often, the procedure is performed several times. Brunettes need to bleach first, while blondes often face the problem of developing a bright red tint during coloring. In general, the staining procedure is always carried out according to a single scheme, regardless of where it is carried out. The first step is to determine the required color scheme depending on the existing color type.
Further dark hair undergo clarification, which should always be carried out in a salon. Next, you should definitely check for an allergic reaction. This is done according to the instructions in the package.
Taking on all his qualities: temperament, authority, royalty. It is distinguished by a wine undertone (purple origin), which enhances the dark red nature towards the upper class.
In general, cherry is a very aesthetic shade. It is easily combined, forming colorful pairs, positively shades the complexion (even with a cold appearance), visually masks figure flaws (in particular, fullness), and gives the image a passionate, dynamic character.
The name of the color comes from the fruit of the same name, which has a color from dark red to deep wine tone. Refined taste and shade became symbols of the pleasure that the tone was endowed with. In addition to cherries, this shade can be found in some varieties of apples, plums, and berries.

Olive tones will create a pair with juicy clorite: harmonious and, in a sense, catchy.
Despite its originality and richness, burgundy color is back in fashion. According to eminent image makers, this is a long-term trend. And no matter what it is used for - be it a wardrobe item or nail art, a deep shade of brown and red will certainly add sexuality to the image and demonstrate the confidence and individuality of the owner. The most daring and unconventional way to use it would be to dye your hair.
Relating to the red palette, but being somewhat darker and more muted due to the content of brown notes, it is equally suitable for lovers of a bright image as well as a natural one. Moderate restraint additionally allows it to be used by business ladies: it will perfectly emphasize professionalism, adding a little rigor.
Since burgundy is a mix of tones, it means that it is a rather complex range that does not suit all types. According to image makers and top stylists, this hair color is more suitable for brown eyes, dark eyebrows, cold light skin. If you compare the description with the characteristics of the types of appearance, it will look ideal on representatives of winter color. Beauties whose total characteristics fall into the autumn category (red-haired, green-, brown-eyed girls with a pleasant milky/golden-beige skin tone, often strewn with freckles) are also allowed to “try it on,” but in this case they will have to choose warmer options.
Experts do not recommend experimenting for women with summer and spring types, even if you select the range in accordance with temperature perception. The fact is that these colors are distinguished by lighter, calmer images, and by dyeing the curls in a rich purple-brown tone, the contrast of their appearance will be disrupted, as a result of which they can look much older than their age.
Another nuance that should be taken into account when choosing a burgundy palette is the purity of the skin. If there are defects, it is better to abandon the idea of painting, so as not to accentuate the defects.
What shades are there?
A mixture of red and brown, sometimes with the inclusion of red, purple tones, as well as their ratio to each other, forms a great variety of colors. The most popular in terms of professional and home hair coloring are:
- classic (pure) color – the color of red wine from the city of Bordeaux, which is located in southwestern France; resembles a dark dirty scarlet;
- ripe cherry - named after the stone fruit for its clear resemblance to its shade, namely muted purple;
- mahogany - produces burgundy-red hair with a chestnut tint;
- burgundy - the name comes from the eastern region of France, where crimson-purple grapes are grown; the tone is a combination of ruby and plum, sometimes with a light or pronounced brown note;
- mahogany – chocolate, absorbing all the warmth of red and the richness of the red palette.
How to make a choice?
It should come from your own coloring of appearance. If it is cold, akin to winter, then the whole depth of blue, graphite, black, brown eyes, aristocratic pallor and translucency skin will beautifully highlight cherry and burgundy. Belonging to the autumn color type, it is recommended to use shades of mahogany or mahogany: they will enhance the brightness of the image and highlight its warmth.
Pure burgundy tone is considered neutral by professionals. It can be used by both types. At the same time, it is not necessary to paint one color. Highlighting is perfect for brunettes and brown-haired women. If the hair is short, it is better to do it with feathers, but for longer lengths it is more appropriate to use the classic method (longitudinal dyeing of individual strands) or balayage technique(transverse coloring, in which dark color hair at the roots sharply/gradually turns into contrasting or bright).
Stylists and image makers allow representatives of the light type (spring, summer) to “try on” a burgundy shade if it acts as a gradient. Providing a smooth transition from blond or light brown to rich ends (reverse shatush style, mirror ombre), the harmony of the appearance will not be disturbed at all. And if the girl is also brown-eyed, then this will only increase the expressiveness of her appearance.

Wash your hair, but without shampoo.
Condition your hair with conditioner and rinse again.

Ombre. Smooth transition from black or brown to cherry. Suitable for owners of not only long, but also medium hair.
