#2: Soft Brown Cherry Color with Long Layers

A color mix of soft brown and cherry with long layers is a great option for those interested in the cherry cola hair trend. The layers near the face allow the new hair color to enhance your appearance, complementing your face and making your expression warmer.

You can modify this look to fit any style you want to match your unique fashion.

Consider a natural dark cherry hair color for your next hair appointment. It’s a bold yet subtle shade. The unique color of dark cherry draws attention to your hair. It also suits most skin tones when the right formula is chosen. However, it needs regular maintenance to prevent it from getting dull. In conclusion, this wine-red tone is ideal for those who want an exceptional color. It boosts confidence and adds charm, but it needs regular upkeep.

Want to make your hairstyle look bold? Use black-red shades on a hairstyle known as a ‘wolf cut’. Creating this hairstyle starts with a defined shag or wolf cut. This includes bangs and layers all over. After that, team it up with a cherry red shade that matches your skin tone and desired color. The shade can be more red or violet based on your liking. To decide on this, make sure to show examples of your preferred shade to your professional stylist in your appointment. When all these elements are put together, the outcome is a front-forward style that provides volume, texture, and color.

#11: Dark Cherry Plum Color

A soft but edgy dark cherry plum color can be applied fully, highlighted, or in a balayage style, based on how much you wish to experiment. The brown shade with red and purple tones gives a cherry cola spin to the hair. The hair can be styled either straight or curled.

A professional stylist can enhance your beauty and boost your confidence with unique color placement and a custom mizens color.

#13: Mahogany and Cherry Tones on Curly Hair

Mahogany and cherry tones on curly hair are a combo made in hair heaven! Lucky for you, this color placement and tone are less aggressive on fragile curls than other colors, yet they add brightness and a unique vibe.

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.
