Choosing the Right Shade
Harry explains that olive or darker skin tones match well with cherry cola hair color. “Cherry cola hair color would look best on people with olive tones or darker complexions,” he says. If you have lighter skin, consider a copper shade. Yet, there are no strict rules. Some people with different skin tones also rock this color well.
Keeping Your Color Bright
To keep cherry cola hair looking fresh, Harry suggests, “Wash your hair in cold water.” This helps the color stay in your hair longer. He recommends visiting the salon every 5 to 6 weeks for touch-ups and a gloss refresh. Also, use a color conditioner to keep the color vibrant. “You can get this conditioner on Amazon as well,” Harry adds.
Talking With Your Stylist
Cherry cola isn’t an easy color to maintain. Before diving in, think about the time and money you can spend on your hair. Harry points out, “Cherry cola is a 5 to 6 week touch-up.” Costs can add up, so plan ahead. Also, discuss your base color, lifestyle, and the cherry cola shade that fits you. Whether you want a darker tone or something brighter, there’s a shade of cherry cola for everyone.
