Is mahogany right for you?

Who it suits

Neutral and cool undertones, olive skin and brown eyes. A way to wear red that still feels brunette.

What to ask your colourist

A level 4–5 red-violet brown. It works over dark hair without much lightening and covers grey well.

Keeping it fresh

Red tones fade quickly. Cool water and a red-toned gloss or colour conditioner keep it rich.

Questions

Mahogany hair colour

Mahogany or auburn?

Mahogany leans red-violet; auburn leans red-orange. Mahogany is usually the cooler of the two.

Can I get mahogany on dark hair?

Yes, it is one of the reds that shows on dark hair with little or no lightening.

Will my real colour look like the preview?

Take it as a direction, not a promise. The salon result depends on your current colour, your hair’s condition, the products and your colourist, and the light in your photo changes how a shade reads.
