Introduction
Burgundy hair color belongs to the reddish shade family of hair colors. It is certainly not the first or the ‘safe’ choice for many. It is a little bold and off beat, especially in our Indian setting for people who are looking to simply cover their grey hair and maintain a natural look.
But are you considering a bold change in your hair color? Then Burgundy might just be the shade you’re looking for! With its rich and vibrant tones, burgundy hair color can add depth and dimension to your look, making it a popular choice among those seeking to make a statement with their hair. However, before you take the plunge into the world of burgundy, it’s essential to consider whether this hue is right for you. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about burgundy hair color, from the best shades for different skin tones to how to use it at home, and important considerations before dyeing your locks.
Burgundy hair color shades for different skin tones and personality
One of the key factors to consider when choosing a hair color is how it complements your skin tone. Burgundy hair color, as we mentioned above belongs to the red tone. Here’s a breakdown of how burgundy would work for different skin tones. For an in-depth information on your skin tone and undertones, consider reading our blog here and then getting into the below points.
The personality factor
Everything first boils down to personal choice and your style. We strongly believe there are no rules. If you can carry your look with confidence, it goes beyond which color suits whom. So we highly recommend that before you try to see if burgundy hair color suits your skin tone, you have to judge if it suits your personality. For some, carrying this shade would be considered a little less formal and more suitable for people from a creative professional. Others might consider it as a bold choice in a formal setting and call it class apart. So firstly, what is your perception? Are you up for this look? If yes, then we can come to how well will it go with your skin tone.
Also, Caaru’s Burgundy hair color is not too strong in shade to make your grey hair really off beat and reddish. It will just add a nice tint and keep the overall appearance blackish. Hence, we are talking of this subtle change of tint, not a drastic red-headed appearance.
Fair skin tone
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, burgundy hair color will make your skin tone stand out even more like a charm. Opt for burgundy shades with hints of purple or violet. This shade will make for a beautiful contrast with your skin tone and could be a great choice.
Medium skin tone
For medium skin tone, almost every color shade works well as it is a neutral zone. You might want to take a call between Burgundy hair color and the Dark Plum shade, which is a slightly deeper red to see which works better for you.
Dark skin tone
For a darker skin tone, a relatively darker shade with subtle hints of a color are likely to look more elegant and stylish. Consider mixing a little bit of Dark Brown or Black in Caaru’s Burgundy to get the shade which will be more suitable for a darker skin tone and create a dramatic effect by adding depth and warmth to your skin tone.
Remember, these are just guidelines, and ultimately, the best shade of burgundy for you is one that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different tones to find the perfect match for your skin tone and personal style.
How to use Caaru's Burgundy hair color at home?
While visiting a salon for professional hair color is always an option, many people prefer the convenience and cost-effectiveness of coloring their hair at home. If you’re considering DIY burgundy hair color, follow these steps for best results:
Choose the right shade
Start by first making the choice if Burgundy is the right shade for you as per the above points. If you are up for it, then lets go for it!
Read the instructions carefully
It is always best to ensure that you read all instructions on the pack nicely as hair coloring like any other product, gives best results when used correctly.
Prepare your hair
Before applying the color, it’s essential to prepare your hair by washing and drying it thoroughly. Avoid using oil or any other product on hair, as it can create a barrier that prevents the color from covering your hair evenly.
Protect your skin
Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or vaseline around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent the dye from staining your skin, as a way of precaution.
Mix and apply the color
Follow the instructions provided with your hair color kit to mix the dye components thoroughly. Divide your hair into sections and apply the color evenly from root to tip. You can use a brush or apply the color with your hands, but ensure that you wear gloves to avoid any staining of hands.
Let it process
Once the color is applied, allow it to process for the recommended amount of time. Keep an eye on the clock to avoid over-processing, which can result in uneven color or damage to your hair.
Rinse and condition
After the processing time is up, rinse your hair thoroughly with water until the color is washed off largely. Follow this by using shampoo to get rid of any color that remains on hair and ensure hair are clean. Use conditioner as desired.
Style as you like and there you are! All set to flaunt your nice and fresh burgundy look!
Things to keep in mind before applying the color
Before you dye your hair burgundy, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind to ensure the best results:
Hair condition
Ensure your hair are not wet or oily before the application of the color.
Making the right paste
To make a paste, you have to add luke warm water to the given powder. Ensure, the water is not too hot, nor too cold. Further, add water slowly and keep mixing to avoid any lumps. The paste shouldn’t be left too dry, nor too watery as in both cases, you will not get the desired color. For further details on how to use henna based hair colors efficiently, read here.
