Somebody ring the alarm because dark red hair is on fire RN! Whether you're going for a sultry deep crimson or a playful hair colour for autumn, dark red shades are trending for a reason: they make a stunning statement. With a whole spectrum of reds to choose from, this hair colour flatters a variety of styles and skin tones.

But let's be real – this colour isn't just about looking good. It's about the confidence and fiery charisma it brings (okay, fine, and it looks amazing). From glossy locks to vibrant ombres, dark red hair is having a serious ~moment~ but if you're thinking, "Um, I could never pull that off," let me stop you right there! Sure, dark red hair might mean a trip to the salon and some serious TLC (hello, colour-depositing glosses), but trust me, the results are well worth it.

Last autumn, hairstylist Tom Smith spilt the tea to Cosmo about 2023's hottest hair trends, and guess what – they're still going strong for 2024! He emphasised warm, rich tones and high-maintenance candy-cane red colours – exactly what you'll find in the stunning looks we've rounded up below.

So, whether you're looking for a total style switch-up or you're a seasoned redhead looking to refresh your look, you're in the right place. Dive in for the ultimate dark red hair inspo for all your autumn/winter mood boards and beyond.
