Mahogany Hair Color: 19 Chic Ideas
Mahogany sits right where red and brunette tones meet.
- Mahogany blends red and brown tones, creating a deeper finish than bright copper while still showing warmth in natural light.
- Layered blowouts and waves reveal more tonal variation, while straighter styles make the shade look smoother and more concentrated.
- Colour-safe products, lower washing temperatures and occasional gloss treatments can help red-brown tones stay richer between appointments.
