The shade can also be plopped right on top ofsummer highlightsto ease you into your natural color.

Plus, the added color, as seen above, adds even more seasonal flare.
A color this deep demands attention and the cool tones keep it contemporary and fresh.

The key to making maroon hair look effortless is keeping the roots your natural color.
Start adding dye on the mid-lengths through the ends.
This allows the color to blend out and pick up the new hue without obscuring your natural beauty.
