Mahogany Hair Color Ideas

More

If you’re looking for a red hair color that’s got more cool notes than a natural redhead’s color, mahogany could be the red-hot shade for you. This reddish brown hair color is cooler than auburn, and often features blue or violet undertones. Mahogany hair color looks incredible against cool toned skin, and helps to bring out blue and green eyes. If you’re thinking about going mahogany, be aware than all red hair colors tend to fade quite quickly. To keep your color around for the long haul, wash with sulfate-free shampoo and water that’s on the cooler side. Even with your best efforts, you may find this brilliant color looks dull faster than others, but we still think this cool, sultry reddish brown is totally worth it.
