How to get perfect burgundy hair colour

Everyone likes to experiment with colours, and trying different shades for your hair is no exception. Hair colour isn’t just about looking gorgeous. For most women, it is a way of expressing themselves and is a fashion statement. One irresistible colour that all women have tried, or wanted to for long, has been the burgundy colour. More often than not, women have tried getting that perfect shade, but very often, it proves to be quite elusive.

Getting the right shade

Burgundy hair is the new black when it comes to the latest colour trends in hair colouring. A new haircut that suits you would only look better in a shade that compliments you. Burgundy is a colour that you can’t go wrong with. However, the catch is in getting the right shade that suits your features and skin tone. This often proves to be rather difficult. You may spend hours coordinating your nail polish, lipstick and or other ensembles. However, have you considered if your hair colour matches your skin tone? Be it at a swanky salon or at home, your hair colour must flatter your skin tone. The wrong colour or shade can end up making you look washed out, pale or plain drab.

Retaining it

The very first step is to determine your skin’s undertone. This will provide you with a basic guide on finding the right shade of burgundy hair dye that compliments you. Choose a shade that offsets your skin tone. It is also important to find the right colourist. Don’t be afraid to ask around. Nowadays, there are many stylists who train in this niche. Once you have the right shade, it’s only half the job done. There is a lot more that you need to do to maintain that fabulous burgundy colour. It is important to use a shampoo that is created especially for colour-treated hair. Most leading brands make them. Always use a hat or a suitable hair product to prevent your hair from fading in the sun. If you enjoy swimming, dampen your hair with spring water before getting into the pool since this helps in diluting the chlorine. Condition your hair regularly. This helps to balance the hair. Don’t brush your hair when wet. Instead, blow your hair dry. Forget wrapping a towel around your head, leave it open. This will ensure that you not only have the right shade, but also retain it while looking fabulous.
