Deep maroon hues look so lovely on medium warm skin with golden undertones.  Brush this bold color onto your short natural pixie cut for a spark of creativity. Make it all pop with a swipe of true blue eyeliner.

Just a faded splash is sometimes all you need to partake in a trend. Put your own spin on wine-dipped locks while protecting your natural brunette curls.

A warm, rich blend is all your brunette hair needs for unique vibrancy. Add mocha lowlights to the bottom half of raspberry hair and leave several inches of root for the perfect-lived in feel. 

 

25. Ultra Violet Bob 

Choosing red as your base color is typically safer than purple because most women naturally have darker hair. Add a  magenta purple splash, giving a cute a-line or inverted bob the touch of fun that you’ve been looking for.

 

26. Red Violet Ombre 

Fall-inspired tones are huge on Instagram. Try it on your red violet hair in a soft balayage blend that always feels classy. Head to the salon for this look, though. Styles like these deserve a professional.

 

27. Curly Burgundy Bob

Pale skin with golden undertones looks best with a burgundy that is based in brown. We love the way it enhances soft curls. Add a braid crown around the forehead for a sexy short up-do. 

 

28. Black and Cool Burgundy Fade

Burgundy compliments jet black hair like a ruby charm. Soft ombre is the way to go on both long hair and bobs. Adding a jeweled headband to a half-up side sweep is the perfect wedding look. 

 

29. Violet Ombre

Ultra violet doesn’t have to pair with hot pink or magenta. If you prefer raspberry, burgundy or rhubarb tones, pair it with a violet tone that is closer to plum. 

 

30. Dark Rhubarb
