Deep Burgundy
This is a deep burgundy color. If you’re looking for a shade of burgundy that’s not too bright, but also not too dark, this is the kind of depth you’re looking for. The best part? It works on all skin tones!
Reddish Burgundy
You can use a hair dye that is more red than purple, or you can add some more purple. Make sure to use a permanent dye so that it stays in your hair for a long time.
Dark Brown with Burgundy Tints
If you’re looking for a burgundy-toned hair color, this is the one to choose. The base color should be a rich dark brown, and then burgundy highlights can be added throughout. This is an ideal look if you already have dark brown hair (or almost black) and want to add some color without going too bright. You can also choose to do this style on lighter shades of brown as well, but it’s more common with darker hues because they blend better into the rest of your hair when using these shades as highlights.
The choice between using one or two different colors is up to you—both are equally gorgeous! Just make sure not to go overboard with too many different shades; it’s easy for an eye-catching look like this one to get lost in all those different colored strands when there aren’t enough contrasting pieces around them anymore (eek!). Stick with two main colors at most—three would probably be pushing things too much too early on in your styling process here 🙂
Cool Toned Brown Base with A Touch of Burgundy Red
Burgundy is a bold color, so it’s usually best to start with a more contained hue like this.
- The base color here is a cool toned brown (think ash or ashy blonde).
- For added depth, highlights are painted on the front pieces in burgundy red. These are subtle and don’t overpower the overall look. They create dimension, but not too much contrast between shades.
- A bit of auburn can be seen around the face—this helps to soften up both the eyes and cheeks while adding some warmth to the skin tone as well! If you have lighter colored eyes or brows, this can be an especially nice touch!
This style has been parted down the middle with straight hair that has been cut into soft layers throughout most of its length toward its ends (but leaving enough length on top). This allows for versatility when styling it—you could either wear it down like this or put it into an updo where there will be more volume at your crown area (and therefore weight distribution).
Chocolate Brown Hair Tinted with Maroon Highlights
If you’re looking for a burgundy hair color that’s not too bright and bold, this is the one for you. Chocolate brown hair has been trending for a while now and has become a go-to shade for many women of color. The combination of chocolate and maroon in this lovely burgundy highlights will make anyone look super chic, even if they don’t want to spend hours in the salon!
Burgundy highlights are also a great option if you have dark skin or an olive complexion—burgundy complements brown tones better than any other red shade does, so it looks natural on darker skin tones. If your hair is already dark (e.g., black), then adding bright red highlights can actually make it look darker as opposed to lighter by contrast; however, if your base color is lighter (e.g., light brown) then adding maroon highlights will add depth without making your base appear darker than it really is
Dark Auburn and Dark Copper Lowlights on Light Brown Hair
This burgundy hair color is perfect for those with light brown hair. The lowlights add depth and dimension to the base color, while still keeping the look very subtle. This style looks great on most skin types and adds warmth to your look!
Heavy Carmine Highlights on Chocolate Brown Hair
What if you want to get burgundy highlights on your brown hair? You’re in luck! Some of the most popular colors on this list are in fact burgundy, and they look great on dark skin. This is because when you add a hue like burgundy or maroon to darker hair, it actually makes it look lighter.
There are so many different shades and tones of red that you can use for your red hair color that I had trouble narrowing down what would be best for dark skinned people. So I ended up creating two lists: one with deep hues and one with light ones!
If you want something more subtle, I recommend going with something like caramel highlights or strawberry blonde highlights instead. The main difference between the two is that caramel tends toward the lighter end while strawberry leans more toward rich tones like raspberry or wine reds (which also happen to be popular colors).
Intense Burgundy Low Lights with Darker Roots and Caramel Highlights
To achieve this look, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- First, take a deep breath and go pick up some burgundy low lights and a few caramel highlights at your local salon or drugstore. Make sure they’re all the same color (you don’t want any mismatched shades).
- Then, get yourself into a chair and let your stylist do their thing! They’ll apply the burgundy low lights first, before adding in the caramel highlights on top of that. If you don’t have access to professional help in this regard—don’t worry! You can try doing it yourself if you’re feeling brave enough (but just remember—it’s not as easy as it seems).
- Afterward? All that’s left is maintaining these healthy locks with regular washing and conditioning (every other day should be good) so that they stay looking fresh for months on end!
Fiery Burgundy Against Jet Black Hair With Soft Red Undertones
This look is all about that rich, fiery red with a hint of orange. The base color here is jet black, and the burgundy hair color takes up the tips. This style also has some soft red undertones to it as well.
The result? A really edgy and trendy hairstyle that you can sport anywhere from work to school to parties! The middle part makes this look even more stylish, so it’s perfect for those who love looking good with minimal effort every day.
