Burgundy hair color

Peculiarities

The color of burgundy got its name in honor of the fine wine produced in the French province of Burgundy. The pluses of the burgundy color include the presence of a large number of undertones, which makes it possible to create the most natural image for the owner of any color type.

The main disadvantage of the shade is called its rapid washout, as a result of which the image immediately becomes sloppy.

Regular tinting of strands becomes in this case not a simple recommendation, but a necessity.

Varieties of tones

The shades of burgundy are not so numerous, but they all look bright and attractive.

Classic burgundy is an intermediate shade between red and wine with a slight plum undertone. This shade is rather dark and non-flashy, and therefore looks organic in any look.

Its final color may vary slightly depending on the base, that is, the natural hair color.

The refined shade of mulled wine, as you might guess, matches the color of the drink of the same name and has a copper undertone. This shade is very cozy and, one might say, autumnal.

• The shade of eggplant looks good on girls with a cold color type. In tone, it is something intermediate between purple and blue. The most advantageous eggplant looks on condition of snow-white skin and dark eyes.

• An unusual shade of pop burgundy is intermediate between red ombre and classic burgundy. Using a red subtone refreshes the shade and makes it look more winning.

Pop burgundy is quite often used for both full coloring and partial coloring.

• A mixture of eggplant and cherry burgundy creates a rich purple hue, almost close to black. This tone turns out to be very deep and looks amazing. In addition, burgundy can have a brown undertone and be close to the color of chestnut or cinnamon.

The lavender undertone gives a purple variation, but lighter.

• Warmer brown shades of Burgundy suit girls of the “spring” color type and all those who are not yet ready for radical changes. This color looks natural and interesting.

Who suits burgundy hair color?

Burgundy is a deep purple (not to be confused with purple!) With a bias towards brown. This is how it is defined by the professionals - the specialists of the Pantone Color Institute.

This is a beautiful and deep shade at the junction of red and brown, which can be either cold or warm, so it will suit girls of different color types.

Burgundy will accentuate fair skin and make even darker tanned skin. Blue and green eyes against the background of burgundy hair will become brighter, and brown will take on a fiery tint.

In general, a girl of almost any color type can afford to dye her hair in a burgundy shade.

The only obvious contraindication is the presence of redness on the skin - or if you easily and for a long time break out with a strong blush, and also have a tendency to allergic rashes. The red tint of the hair will only emphasize these phenomena.

• Blondes it is not recommended to immediately paint in burgundy.It is believed that it is better to first try to become a brown-haired woman - this way the result will be more predictable.
• For brunetteswho are tired of their color, but do not want to become lighter, dyed or tinted hair in a burgundy shade is the best solution.

How to color your hair in burgundy color at home

In order to independently dye your hair in a burgundy shade, you need to properly prepare.

You will definitely need: special plastic utensils to interfere with the dye, a paintbrush, hair clips, gloves, or anything to keep your clothes from getting dirty, such as an unnecessary towel.

It is ideal to get a product to remove paint stains from your skin. So, everything is there, what to do next?

1. Comb your hair.
2. Divide the hair with two partings - in the middle and from ear to ear. There are four sections. Secure your hair in three sections with clips.
3. Leave one of the occipital loose.
4. Take a strand from the free section, apply paint to it with a brush.
5. Gradually process all the strands in the section in this way, and then all the sections.
6. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb to help distribute the dye.
7. Withstand the time specified by the paint manufacturer.
8. Rinse off the paint and dry your hair.

How to choose a coloring agent?

In order for home staining to give the desired result, you must first purchase a high-quality dye. To change hair in burgundy color, persistent dyes, tinting agents and some natural ingredients are used. The dye of the Estel brand in the Burgundy shade is one of the most popular.

The natural ingredients contained in the composition provide a mild effect and do not damage hair. The Palette brand has an “Eggplant” shade in its line, which provides a bright and rich color.

The presence of keratin among the components is responsible for the appearance of a healthy shine in the hair. The Londa brand can offer customers the shade "Burgundy", which is distinguished by ease of use and uniformity of color.

It is necessary to withstand the coloring agent on the hair from 30 to 40 minutes for the appearance of persistent pigment.

However, you should be prepared that in some situations the final color turns out to be different from the planned one.

We are talking about a natural blonde, which, during the first dyeing, can become too bright or even unnatural.

A similar situation occurs with overdried, damaged or porous strands. In this case, the wrong color is not washed out for a very long time.

The dye does not always manifest itself correctly if the curls have already been dyed before. The desired shade will be in the root zone, but along the entire length of the strand it will be dirty and indistinct. Moreover, discolored strands can even become covered with ugly spots.

As for tinting agents, they give the necessary shade, but for a much shorter period than persistent dyes.

• The Artual brand has a burgundy shade in the line, which, although it looks persistent, is washed off after one or two head washes.
• The balsam "Tonic" has a burgundy color under the name "Indian Summer". The color is not very saturated and disappears after just one time.
• The Irida brand has a burgundy shade in its line, which not only gives the required color and shine, but also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair. Washing takes place after about 2 shampoos.

In general, most of the funds for toning burgundy shades are washed off in a couple of times, although the color lingers on spoiled curls for a longer period. The darker the hair, the less noticeable the burgundy color.

• All natural ingredients, unlike purchased dyes, are applied to already washed hair without the use of conditioner, balm or mask.
• After completing the painting, you will have to spend 3 days without washing your hair, otherwise all actions will be in vain. A mixture of natural ingredients should be applied in a slightly cooled state, so as not to provoke a scalp burn.
• In addition, despite all the safety of the products used, they should not be applied to the strands after a perm or similar traumatic procedures, otherwise the result may be unpredictable.

In order for henna to give a burgundy shade, and not the usual reddish color, it must be mixed with certain products, for example, beet juice or wine. To treat medium-length hair, you need one bag of henna, and for long curls, you will need a couple.

• In the first case, slightly warmed up beet juice is mixed with henna until a homogeneous rather thick substance without lumps appears. The dye is distributed along the entire length of the strands, after which the head is wrapped in a plastic bag and a warm towel. After 1 hour, the hair is washed under the tap.

In some cases, the mixture is left on the head for a longer period - up to 6 hours, and the beet juice is replaced with hibiscus tea.

The preparation of the wine mixture is, in principle, carried out according to a similar algorithm. The warmed wine is mixed with henna, and then the substance is left to infuse for 3 hours. Next, the dye is distributed over the curls. After an hour, the curls can be rinsed with warm, but not hot water.

1. For dark variations of the burgundy hue, it is allowed to use cocoa.
2. In the first case, cocoa is mixed with henna, diluted with cranberry juice and applied to the hair for about 1 hour.
3. In the second case, a mixture of cocoa and ground cloves is poured into hibiscus and also applied for an hour.
4. The head is washed under running water. Dry ingredients are used in a 1 to 1 ratio.

Coloring recommendations

When dyeing is done at home, it is important to study the instructions, and also make sure that the amount of dye does not run out at the most important moment. Experts recommend immediately purchasing two packs if the length of the curls is below the shoulders, or if they themselves have a rigid structure.

1. The long-lasting product is applied to dry hair.
2. Before using the paint, you should check if there is an allergic reaction.
3. To do this, a small amount of paint is applied to the wrist or the inner side of the elbow for a couple of hours. E
4. If this does not result in any red spots, itching or burning, then you are fine.
5. The distribution of the coloring substance over the head begins from the back of the head. It is important to treat the roots first, and then distribute the residues through the hair.
6. The tool is left for the amount of time stated in the instructions.
7. Next, the shovel is washed with a large amount of running water, and the balm in the package is used.

Hair dyeing in the salon does not require following the instructions, but you will have to pay an amount starting from 1 thousand rubles for it. The final price tag will be determined depending on the length of the hair, the complexity of the procedure and other factors.

Completing the image

A very complex wine tone of hair requires attention and respect. It is important to apply hair care products for colored curls.

Among other things, it is with this shade that it is important to choose the right wardrobe: style and color palette.

Attention should be paid to the choice of clothing color. Muted tones, dark, classic black, gray go well with wine, but bright colors are no exception for the owners of Burgundy, the main thing is to skillfully combine them.

Dyeing dark hair burgundy

Lightening may be required depending on the depth of the base. Before the tone turns out to be fiery red, preliminary desaturation is necessary. After using the brightening powder, the curls should be bright yellow. If toning is planned in dark tones, lightening may not be needed.

But if before that the staining was carried out with black dyes - from 1 to 4 tones, then you will have to lighten.

The brightening composition is first applied with a brush, stepping back from the roots, then spreading along the entire length and at the end on the root zone. The concentration of the oxidizing agent depends on the initial color:

• 3-5% - for thin hair, dark blonde and chestnut shades
• 6-10% - for very dark, dense

Coloring in burgundy color of light hair

Naturally light or previously lightened curls do not require lightening before toning. But it is worth remembering that the clarified ones do not hold the color well, so staining alone is not enough. For coloring light, you need to use dyes without ammonia, so as not to damage them.

For toning, take an oxidizer of 1.5-3%

Burgundy and red strands on dark hair

There are several types of staining highlighted with strands:

• Classic highlighting - the strands are tinted along the entire length at an equal distance from each other.
• Venetian - the ends are lightened, creating a slight transition to a natural color.
• California - the same coloring as the Venetian, only for light curls.
• Colored - highlighting in bright colors: red, bright burgundy, dark pink. Strands are exposed to open processing.
• Balayazh - when toning the tips or roots, contrasting shades are used. Each strand is painted over separately.
• The reverse - painting individual strands in dark colors. Suitable for bleached, wishing to regain color.
• Bronding - a combination of coloring and highlighting. The colors used are chocolate, burgundy and dark scarlet.

How to care for strands after the procedure?

Hair dyed in a burgundy shade requires special care, since the unstable pigment is washed out rather quickly. To prevent the hair from becoming dull and lifeless, all care products should be replaced with those that have the mark “for colored hair”.

It is better to take a sulfate-free shampoo, since there is no component in its composition that helps to wash out the color.

Masks and balms will have to be used in smaller quantities, as they still discolor the pigment a little. It makes sense to use means that fix the shade, for example, serums and sprays.

In the summer, when going outside, you will have to protect the curls with a headdress or special means containing components that prevent the effects of ultraviolet radiation.

In winter, one should also not forget about frost protection.

Shampoo for colored hair

Shampoo for colored curls must be of high quality, therefore, it cannot be cheap. Here are shampoos of famous brands that do their job with dignity:

• Lush... Shampoos of this brand are available in the form of ordinary soaps with various odors and blotches. They can only be used by dark-haired people or those who dyed with henna. Features of the shampoo - hair cleansing with orange oil and Moroccan clay, nutrition with soy proteins.
• Colorlast... Shampoo is best used with a conditioner of the same brand. The product allows you to maintain color for up to nine weeks, and also moisturizes and gently cleanses. The disadvantage of this tool is that light paint is quickly washed off when using it.
• Natura Siberica... The shampoo contains white wax to make hair shine, and Daurian soy oil to repair damage. The shampoo is based on natural ingredients, natural acids are responsible for foaming.

Mask

Masks after dyeing are very important, as they nourish the hair and restore it:

• Kapous... The composition contains wheat and keratin, suitable for any type of hair. The mask is easy to wash off and apply. The product is not very expensive - 500 rubles per 0.5 liter.
• Ollin Megapolis... The mask is based on black rice. Suitable for dry and dull curls, protects them from harmful external influences. Its cost is 400 rubles for 0.25 liters.

Choose a mask specifically for your type so as not to harm them even more.

Thermal protection for styling and UV protection

Styling products help moisturize dry colored hair and protect it from heat. The best of all sprays are:

• Estel Airex. Provides good fixation, provides double thermal protection. The composition includes silk proteins, vitamin B5. Cost - 400 rubles for 0.2 liters.
• Ga.Ma Protect-ion. The composition contains silk proteins, vitamin F, making the curls soft. Price - 600 rubles for 0.12 liters.
• Wella Resolute Lift. Makes hair soft and manageable. Protects from ultraviolet rays, however, when processed in hot air, it sticks together and spoils the styling. Cost - 1000 rubles for 0.2 liters.

When choosing a burgundy paint, you need to focus on the color type of appearance, so as not to get an unsuccessful result. This bright color can take a long time to wash out, so approach the procedure responsibly.

It is equally important to properly care for the color with the right shampoos and masks to allow the curls to recover.
