If you prefer natural hair colors but want to tap into the mahogany hair color trend, you can go for a slight mahogany tint on dark brown hair. Subtle mahogany looks really elegant and chic, and can noticeably juice up your natural hair color.
This gorgeous hair color is the result of mahogany balayage on a dark brown base. The secret of this bombshell look is the mahogany hue with a cool plum undertone that suits virtually all complexions, from the palest to the darkest of skin tones.

This splendid combination of mahogany highlights of different shades is sure to turn heads. If you’re a determined redhead but are a bit sick and tired of your usual red, consider switching to a warm mahogany red shade, the more hues the better.

Mahogany highlights may be your best choice if you want to enhance your natural shade with a bright, vibrant touch. Copper mahogany strands look absolutely stunning on long dark hair, soft waves adding a chic dramatic finish.
@adore.makeovers
Dark, rich mahogany shade coupled with soft waves is all about elegance and style. To make your mahogany hair color look more interesting and add a vibe of youthfulness, you can add a few copper highlights. Pre-lightening saves the day if you have darker hair, helping achieve the desired brightness.

@madhushreee
If you aren’t a fan of red tones, deep mahogany color with cool undertones is a decent way to embrace the mahogany hair color trend. However, remember that this hair color is far from low-maintenance. To keep your perfect shade of mahogany on the cooler side, you might need to reconsider your usual hair care routine. Using color-safe shampoos and protective products for heat styling should become your mantra.
@ryleymegsbeauty
The light red mahogany hue beautifully flatters a darker skin tone and the kinky texture of natural hair. Mahogany creates a totally different feeling on short curly hair, helping you achieve a bold yet sassy look.
@haircolorkilla
This impressive dark mahogany balayage might be your best solution if you’re willing to add just a hint of color, without going too light or too bright. The mahogany streaks are distinctive enough to add some dimension, but still so subtle in their blending with the natural hair color.
@haircraftbysteph
Looking for ways to brighten up your naturally dark hair color? Consider mahogany balayage, which works exceptionally well on long hair, both straight and wavy. For a more informed choice, do research on which mahogany shades — cool or warm — will match your skin tone best.
@hair_by_nsantimaw
Reminiscent of dark bitter chocolate, these messy curls show off an elegant brunette color mix where the hues begin and where they blend so effortlessly. If you’re looking for something simple and sweet, look no further! We’ve got you covered. When it comes to brunettes, we know our hair.
@modernsalon
Deep, rich, vibrant, playful…Need we say more? These are all words that come to mind when this gorgeous head of hair walks through a crowd. Embracing the true meaning of mahogany, this look truly outdoes itself with a little bit of purple shading.
@modernsalon
Somewhere between overt and subtle, this style walks the line of rising in popularity…and fast! Where does the red start and the purple blend in? Who knows? Who really cares? All that matters is that this fresh look is all about being saucy and comfortable in your own skin.
@modernsalon
This color is so deep, and it pairs beautifully with black. The curls accentuate the shiny mahogany hue that takes on a glow and offers the desired dimension to very dark hair.
@rustsalon209
Things are definitely getting kicked up a notch with this mahogany hair color, as we leave the brown behind to fully embrace our crimson roots. Literally starting with the roots, the red violet hues cascade gently into a truly mahogany shade worth of all the admiration in the world.
@paigekimberly.hair
This look is for an edgy girl who isn’t afraid of anyone’s unwarranted opinion. With a fresh bob toned by a perfect mixture of purple and red with a hint of blue, you’ll be leaving the salon gorgeous and ready to break down every wall that stands in your way.
@amandasanti
This beautiful balayage is a perfect transition from dark to light within one color without going too crazy in terms of modern style. Beginning with a deep mahogany brown hair color and flowing into a sweet chestnut is the perfect route to finding your favorite reddish brown look.
@susanastouch
Ready to cool down the scarlet shades and head for a softer violet tone? Even hinting towards a bit of silver, this color is wintry enough to leave anyone frozen in admiration and awe. Just make sure you let them warm up, so you can share all your hair color secrets!
@angelgtz650
Shining with the glow of a fresh visit to the beauty salon, this mahogany hair color is truly unique. While upon first glance it may look like a classic chocolate tone, one may be surprised by the icy blue undertones that make the exquisite color even more intriguing.
@studio.mi
The ultimate sassy hairstyle has just got better – a long bob paired with a reddish-brown color? Utter perfection! Leaning more towards the auburn side of the red spectrum, this look is guaranteed to leave you feeling free to be yourself with a hint of upscale sophistication.
@herintoronto
This style is especially fitting for those in search of a hairstyle that is gentle, classic, and never out of style. Going with a light shade of mahogany, a girl can’t go wrong with this subdued shade that curls flawlessly.
@this_is_meganharris
This mahogany red hair color is truly to “DYE” for. The gentle dark red color isn’t as in-your-face as other reds, partially due to the brown base. The mixture of the two colors brings this look to its height enhanced with soft, light locks that still satisfy the need for boldness.
@modernsalon
A mahogany hair color usually refers to a reddish-brown tone, but you can throw the brown almost completely out with this wild look! Embrace the passionate crimson in your life, and go for this brazen look that’ll empower your inner diva to let your red-colored flag fly.
@sassafrassroothair
Wow, check out this beauty! For girls who are more interested in making a bold statement with their ‘do, this is the new look you need! This specific color is rich and vibrant, drawing out the purple aspects of the shade we are discussing here.
@guy_tang
A classic all-over mahogany color job, this look is spiced up with a few bold streaks of raspberry red that frame the face and set off the main color so beautifully. The very ends take on burgundy notes. Simply gorgeous!
