Ready for your dark femme era? Dark burgundy hair color walks a fine line between edgy and sophisticated, bold and polished. Deep and rich, it blends red, purple and brown hues into a perfect vampy shade. It has a gorgeous shine that will give you a sultry look and highlight your eyes.
Ahead, all the tips and tricks you didn’t know you need, and stunning inspo pics.
1. Glossy Dark Burgundy Hair
Brunettes, making the switch to dark burgundy is simple. Your dark base color easily blends with burgundy tones and the result is a striking but still natural look—with hardly any lightening needed!
2. Dark Burgundy Ombre
This dark burgundy ombre is a gorgeous, low-maintenance look. The soft gradient from deep roots to luscious burgundy tips will grow out seamlessly, giving you a gradient effect that doesn’t require constant upkeep.
3. Long Dark Burgundy Hair
Unlike bright reds, deep burgundy tones don’t often turn brassy. Maintaining the cool, rich undertones is easy with color-depositing conditioners or purple shampoos to keep unwanted orange tones away.
4. Shiny Dark Burgundy Hair
Dark burgundy hair is perfect for the fall and winter months because it complements warm tones and cozy knitwear we love wearing in colder seasons. Rich reds, deep greens and golds pair so well with this rich hair color.
5. Dark Burgundy Waves
Burgundy hair comes in many beautiful shades, from deep wine reds to berry purples, so you can find your perfect match. A vibrant pop of color or a muted, nearly brunette shade like this one—there’s a burgundy for every complexion and style.
6. Bouncy Dark Burgundy Hair
To keep your burgundy hair intense, use sulfate-free shampoos and rinse with cold water. A gloss treatment every now and then will also help keep it shiny and fresh-looking.
7. Layered Dark Burgundy Hair
Dark burgundy hair is deep and vibrant, and it will make your eyes stand out. It makes blue eyes pop, enhances green in hazel eyes and accentuates the warmth in brown eyes.
8. Dark Burgundy Bob
Dark burgundy brings sophistication and a little drama to any hairstyle. A lived-in burgundy balayage, like the one featured on this bob, grows out beautifully and is super easy to maintain.
9. Straight Dark Burgundy Hair
All shades of red hair, including dark burgundy, need lots of hydration. To keep your hair healthy and full of shine, include regular deep conditioning treatments in your routine.
10. Dimensional Burgundy Hair
Did you know that you can boost the volume of your hair with color? This dimensional burgundy adds depth to fine hair, which creates an illusion of fuller tresses.
11. Deep Burgundy Hair
Dimensional dark burgundy hair makes it a perfect match for thick hair. The way it catches and reflects light across layers makes the color feel even richer.
12. Dark Burgundy Hair
Regular gloss treatments will keep dark burgundy hair shiny and vibrant. This will help maintain the color depth and prevent fading between touch-ups.
13. Dark Burgundy Hair With Curtain Bangs
If you have dark hair, some lightening may be needed to achieve a burgundy hue. Doing it gradually will help protect your hair while still giving you an even color.
14. Violet Dark Burgundy Hair
Dark burgundy is at its most amazing with a glossy finish. Keeping your hair hydrated and getting glossing treatments will make this effect more intense, which will make the color even more striking.
15. Warm Dark Burgundy Hair
Dark burgundy can be customized with more red, purple or brown undertones, making it cooler or warmer to suit your skin tone. Want a deep, vampy look or a fresh pop of berry? Burgundy can fit your style.
16. Bright Burgundy Hair
To keep your burgundy color from fading too fast, try washing your hair only 2-3 times a week. Dry shampoo is great for keeping your hair fresh between washes without stripping color.
17. Rich Dark Burgundy Hair
When you’re ready to move on from burgundy, changing your color will be easy. Let the vibrant color fade into brown or get soft highlights if you want a gentle, natural transition away from the intense shade.
