But before we dive into the list, let's answer one common question

What colors make up Burgundy Hair?

If you are wondering how to get Burgundy hair color, know that burgundy is a mix of purple and red. Although there is an array of different shades, this is simply what hairdressers refer to when they mention the hue. The variations of burgundy then differ on how much red or purple color is in its formula e.g Wine hair color has a larger ratio of red hue.

Now let's get into these hair color ideas!

Lightly-feathered soft bangs are like a go-to for creating a youthful sass of your hair. So imagine feather bangs and burgundy hair color. We're speechless.

How to feather bangs?

 The first thing you want to do is comb your bangs out, to have a tangle-free area to work. Then make vertical point cuts. Don't cut more than an inch at a time, so you don't make an irreversible mistake. When your bangs are lowered to your desired fullness rub gel, brush, and blow-dry to get them feathery. After you can go ahead to apply your burgundy hair makeup from Curlfit to give it the burgundy hair magic. And voila, Burgundy feather bangs!

Is burgundy a natural hair color?

Some people are born with natural orangey-red hair but burgundy hair is a man-made color from combining purple and red tones. Irrespective of that, we can all agree that it was an invention from heaven! According to Hisour, the origin of burgundy hair color cannot really be traced, but it was first recorded as a color in English in 1881. The word "burgundy", on the other hand, can be traced down to the ancient German tribe, Burgundians.
