#6 Cherry Ombre from Dark to Light

This deep cherry hair color is known as a balayage-ombré in hairstylist terms, seamlessly transitioning from one shade to another. It’s perfect for women with unprocessed medium brown hair. Perform a balayage-ombré to elevate your hair to a medium blonde, then introduce the deep cherry hair color.

Incorporate dark plum at the roots and deep cherry at the tips, then merge the two. This technique is ideal if you are contemplating deep cherry shades through balayage or ombré-balayage!

Deep cherry ombre is great for the woman seeking something very low maintenance that can be tailored to match your color preferences, face shape, and personal style. The wonderful aspect of this dark cherry trend is its graceful growth that avoids harsh lines of demarcation.

Nevertheless, if you choose this shade, it will gradually fade out over time. But all you need to do is schedule a color service for your next visit rather than a chemical treatment.
