This black and cherry bomb red transformation was all about contrast, shine and movement. I kept the dark base rich and glossy, then layered vibrant cherry red ribbons throughout so the color flashes differently with every curl and turn. The long layers keep the hair from feeling heavy and give those red pieces room to move through the black instead of sitting in flat stripes. The finished look is bold, dimensional and dramatic, with that deep black cherry effect that still feels polished and wearable.
