Dark burgundy hair color is a red-tinged hue that merges brown, purple, and black tones, resulting in a deep, luxurious, wine-inspired shade that leans toward the darker spectrum. This hue exhibits a striking, seductive undertone and instantly enlivens dark hair! Variations of dark burgundy can range from cherry to purple hair.
Darker burgundy hair appears vividly on brown hair. Brunettes (including black, dark brown, and medium brown hair) can easily attain the burgundy color due to their already dark tresses, producing a cooler and richer shade of burgundy. Cool-toned complexions or pink undertones best complement this shade, as it can brighten these skin tones.
Another advantage is that coloring your strands this shade is less damaging to your hair compared to bolder shades of red. Many DIY hair dyes can also achieve a deep burgundy hair color. Garnier Nutrisse offers a Bold Burgundy hair dye that results in a stunning purple hair color. This means that upkeep is quite manageable.
While utilizing color-safe shampoos and conditioners, heat-protectants, and moisturizing products will extend your hair’s color, boost its shine, and promote a healthy appearance. To assist you in achieving this captivating hair hue, I’ve curated only the finest looks of this wine-inspired color by expert colorists.

Vibrant Burgundy Accents on Deep Dark Hair
Vibrant burgundy accents on deep dark hair are stunning when seamlessly blended with a few bolder, brighter sections, particularly around the face. Integrate the shade into your roots for improved growth upkeep with a balayage method.
Deep Short Burgundy Hair
Choose deep short burgundy hair. The best aspect of this style is the plum hue I achieved using L’Oreal’s oil-based and ammonia-free line, Inoa. To preserve this deep burgundy shade, the color should be refreshed every 3 to 4 weeks, and salon-quality shampoo is crucial to minimize fading.
Subtle Chestnut Burgundy with Depth
Chestnut burgundy imparts a natural yet vibrant hue that adds a fun twist! It’s ideal for women looking to explore fresh tones that are both lively and striking.
I painted all sections and used the natural base for the root color. I added a few red-brown lowlights throughout, leaving some natural color out. Finally, I toned my painted sections to a stunning cherry cola shade.
Shiny Burgundy Tresses with Wavy Layers
If you have dark hair, consider adding a shiny burgundy hue into your wavy layers. This shade is quite trendy in the cooler months and beautifully complements pink, olive, or ebony-toned skin. The burgundy hue is a cool tone, so it demands regular maintenance. For home care and enhanced vibrancy, try Viral’s Color Depositing Shampoo.
Bold Dark Red Burgundy Highlights on Black Tresses
These striking burgundy highlights on a black foundation are stunning. To maintain your black and burgundy hair at home, I suggest washing no more than once every two days, using a dark towel and pillowcase, and promptly drying hair with a blow dryer.
The longer your hair remains damp, the more color will be lost from the hair and transfer onto your clothes/pillowcase. After two weeks of wear, utilizing a red color-depositing shampoo or conditioner once or twice a week will assist in keeping your color radiant.

Reds tend to fade a bit faster than most colors. This means it’s higher maintenance, but if you want to make a statement, this is the color for you!
Deep Plum and Rich Burgundy
This rich burgundy plum hair color was pre-lightened by doing a balayage hand paint. After drying that, I applied a violet and added a purple booster. With this burgundy tint on long hair, I recommend you use a good shampoo and conditioner. I love the Bedhead brands and Joico—no drugstore products. I have seen a lot of thinning in the hair and color not lasting as long.
Deep Burgundy with Scarlet Accents
Deep burgundy with scarlet accents provides hair with vibrant tones and a seamless grow-out. It’s a fantastic color selection for women with darker or damaged hair as it can be applied to yellow or slightly orange hair, allowing you to avoid lifting past a level 8/9.
To achieve this burgundy red shade, begin with a dimensional rooty balayage to lighten your hair. I blended some pink shades using exclusively Pulp Riot colors and applied them in triangular sections. Additionally, use an Olaplex bond builder during the process to maintain your hair’s integrity.
Cherry-Burgundy Chocolate Hair
Cherry-burgundy chocolate hair is the ideal shade for those who embrace the darker hues. The rich tones in this color will enhance the skin’s complexion beautifully. This hue is considered relatively low-maintenance, but it will still need appropriate hair care routines to maintain its vibrancy.

This vibrant curly burgundy hair features a balayage technique. This method provides a softer and more natural grow out. I opted for a permanent red-violet color to enhance the vibrancy. These ideas for burgundy hair colors are increasingly favored by those with curls.
Rich Burgundy Brown with Subtle Mahogany Undertones
This rich burgundy brown hair with subtle mahogany streaks is a burnt plum root smudge feathered into deep mahogany. For at-home maintenance and styling of such dyed hair, I suggest getting a good color care shampooing range, and a beach styling spray is great for showing off the color texture and creating that effortless shabby chic look. This burgundy brown hair color would be great for any woman with a medium-to-olive complexion, and the color can be slightly tweaked to enhance your features and tan you up during the summer.
