20 Trending Mahogany Hair Colour Ideas We Love in 2020
Mahogany hair is a blend of red and brown shades, similar to the colour of mahogany wood. A rich, dimensional colour, results can be vibrant or subtle depending on how much red is applied. Mahogany colours add life and vibrancy to dull, mousey browns and offer more dramatic transformations on lighter coloured hair, where results are more visible. Stars like Demi Lovato and Emma Stone have both worn mahogany hair, and now you can discover this autumnal hue for yourself too, here.
