It’s official—Cherry Cola is the “it girl” hair colour of the moment. Its rich and multidimensional blend of deep reds and brunette hues exudes a sultry sophistication that feels very now. This velvety shade has been spotted on celebrities like Dua Lipa and Zendaya, making it an instant viral trend both on social media and the streets.

In this blog, we'll explore what makes Cherry Cola hair unique, who it looks best on, and how to make this trend your own with eSalon.

A closer look at the Cherry Cola hair colour trend.

Cherry Cola hair colour offers a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety, making it a versatile choice for various seasons and personal styles. Its unique combination of dark brown and vibrant red tones creates a luscious, eye-catching effect that stands out without being overly dramatic. Plus, it’s easy to amp up the cherry red tones or take it down a few notches to fit your exact vibe.

The trend's resurgence can also be attributed to the nostalgic revival of '90s aesthetics, where such rich, warm hues were very en vogue. It reflects a broader movement toward embracing classic styles with contemporary twists—and Cherry Cola hair colours perfectly embody that classic feel with a modern edge. 

Who looks best with Cherry Cola hair?

Cherry Cola hair colour is remarkably adaptable, complementing a wide range of skin tones and eye colours. That said, individuals with olive or deeper skin tones will find that the warm red and brown undertones of Cherry Cola harmonise beautifully with their natural colouring, adding depth and radiance. Fairer complexions can also pull off this shade by opting for versions with a more muted red hue to maintain balance and softness.

As far as eye colour, this trending shade particularly flatters green, hazel, and brown eyes. The rich red undertones accentuate the warmth in these eye colours, creating a vibrant contrast that draws attention to your gaze.
