What is Cherry Cola Hair?
Cherry cola hair blends deep reds and chocolatey browns. It’s not as loud as fiery red, but it surely makes a statement that turns heads! It also plays with the light, showcasing various tones. It’s a bold choice that brings dimension to your hair, often achieved through various colouring techniques like ombre or balayage.
What’s the Process of Achieving the Perfect Cherry Cola Shade?
Before you rock the cherry cola hair, let’s cover the basics. Your hair type, its condition, and your skin tone are all factors to consider when pulling off that show-stopping cola-inspired style!
Hair Type
Not many people know about their hair’s porosity. What is it? Well, think of hair porosity like a sponge, if your hair has high porosity, it quickly soaks up colour, giving you bold, intense hues.
On the other hand, low porosity hair takes its sweet time to evenly spread the colour. Your hair type is a real game-changer, determining the final result of your dyed hair.
Current Colour
Going from a vastly different hair colour to cherry cola isn’t a quick pit stop; it’s more like a road trip. Each person’s journey is distinct, primarily dictated by their starting hair colour and type. Depending on the starting point, the hair might need to undergo lightening through bleaching or colour-stripping methods to create a suitable base for the cherry cola shade. Patience and professional guidance are essential for a successful transformation.
Hair Condition
When your hair is in great shape and well taken care of, it forms the perfect foundation for a successful dark red transformation. Well-maintained hair not only increases your chances of achieving the desired shade but also helps maintain that vibrant look.
Healthy hair, with its optimal moisture and structure balance, readily absorbs and retains the dark red pigments, showcasing the intended colour vibrancy. Furthermore, a well-maintained mane is less prone to issues like breakage and uneven colour absorption, ensuring a smooth and appealing transition to dark red.
Conditioning your hair regularly and limiting heat exposure will help with this. We love Davines products for this, especially their OI Hair Butter!

How to Maintain the Cherry Cola Hair Colour:
Knowing how to maintain your cherry cola hair colour is key to keeping it looking fabulous. Start by choosing shampoos and conditioners specifically made for coloured hair to preserve the vividness of the shade. Also opt for lukewarm or cold water when washing your hair to prevent the colour from fading quickly. Deep conditioning treatments are the cherry on top (we couldn’t help ourselves), to keep your hair moisturised and the colour looking fresh.
Ease up on heat styling to avoid damage and breakage, and always use a heat protectant when you do. Regular touch-ups with a colourist are like periodic boosts of magic to maintain that delightful cherry cola hue. Embrace this routine, and your cherry cola hair will be the envy of all!
