5. Cherry Cola Roots
You don’t have to settle for a look everyone is doing. Think out of the box. You can place a pop of cherry cola hair color at the roots of your hair for a unique take on the look.
6. Tousled Cherry Cola Hair
Give your cherry cola hair color body and movement with the tousled effect. Add a few curls at the ends and finger comb to loosen. Set hair with a flexible hold hairspray like Dove Style+Strength Flexible Hold Hairspray.
7. Cherry Cola Hair with Waves
Wake up the look of your cherry cola hair cola with a fun set of waves.

17. Warm Ombre
We tend to think of more red-based hygge hues being more of an autumn/winter look, but if you’re naturally very fair they can have year-round benefits. If you have cool undertones, warm, rich reds like this are an easy way to warm up your complexion and make you look more sunkissed. Credit: @andrae_devon_colorist
18. Soft Ash Red
We usually think of ashy colors as being just for blondes but ash red hair is a total gamechanger. Great if you’re wanting something a bit more parred back and office-appropriate, the ashiness softens the harshness of the red and means fading won’t be nearly as obvious as on brighter hues.

19. 2-Tone Tips
Celebrities like Bella Thorne are always trying out two-tone hair colors, so why not give your mane an A-list finish with two contrasting shades of red? That way, you’ll still be able to add dimension to your red instead of sticking to one allover block color.

It’s both a styling oil and a finishing product, smoothing frizz and adding shine while also protecting your color.
