Maintenance Tips for Mulled Wine Hair Color

Just like with any colored hair, this shade needs proper care and maintenance to ensure it stays looking its best and it doesn’t fade too fast.

The maintenance tips are pretty straightforward and apply to all colored hair, not just mulled wine hair color. Here are the top stylist tips for making your color last longer and look healthy:

when choosing this color tone, in most cases the hair stylist will have to strip down the original color and use bleach to some extent. That of course translates into quite a bit of damage to your hair. Depending on how healthy it’s been before the coloring, you need to ensure you keep it hydrated properly by using a hydration hair mask once a week, or more if required
shades of red on hair tend to fade away quite quickly, so relying on salon-quality products for your hair will guarantee you can enjoy the pretty vibrant shade for as long as you can
regular touch-ups at the hair salon will be also required to ensure your roots don’t show too quickly and the color stays vibrant and shiny

Best Hair Cut for Mulled Wine Hair Color

In most cases, the best way to show deep red tones of mulled wine hair color is to use this shade on long hair – that allows the color to really shine and come through. If you have long hair, you can give it a bit more volume and movement by curling it slightly, which will allow the different shades of the mulled wine hair color to come through and reflect in the light beautifully.

The other option is medium-length hair, with or without fringe, layers or even highlights. On medium-length hair, subtle waves also work great as they allow the color to really come to life.
