Burgundy
Rich, glossy burgundy wine-red from roots to ends — deep enough to be dramatic, dark enough to be wearable every day.

Who it suits
On longer hair, burgundy does something few other fashion colors manage: it picks up light through the strands and reads as multi-tonal — deeper at roots, glossier through the mid-lengths — without any highlights or balayage technique. The first real decision is whether you want warm wine-red (more red, amber depth) or cool plum-burgundy (more violet, almost eggplant in certain lights). Warm undertones carry wine-red most naturally; cool undertones often find plum-burgundy more cohesive. Deep skin tones work beautifully with both — the richness of the color contrasts rather than flattens. Fair skin with cool undertones generally lands better in plum territory.
What to expect in real life
On naturally dark hair, burgundy can be achieved as a direct dye overlay without bleaching — the dark base means the result is a rich, glossy tint rather than a vivid opaque fashion color, which fades gracefully without a harsh grow-out line. On lighter hair or when you want a true vivid burgundy, some lightening ensures the red-violet shows fully saturated. Color fades toward a warm auburn-red over 4–8 weeks, which most people find an acceptable natural fade. A weekly color-depositing red or burgundy conditioner significantly extends vibrancy, and red-safe shampoo prevents premature washing out.
How this is different from a filter
A filter maps a red-purple overlay onto every pixel in your photo — your skin shifts reddish, the background changes, and you can't extract any real information about whether the color suits you. Stylery applies the burgundy color precisely to the hair, leaving your face, skin tone and surroundings untouched. On longer hair especially, you can see how the glossy dark red moves through your specific length and how it interacts with your natural skin tone in the same lighting. The question most women want answered before committing is whether the red-violet will warm their complexion in a flattering way or overpower it — and whether wine-red or plum-burgundy is the better call for their specific coloring. That's exactly what a same-face preview lets you see.
