Have you noticed that your feed has been flooded with rich, sultry red tones lately? Well, you’re not alone! Cherry cola hair is the latest hair color trend that’s taking over TikTok, and we’re totally hooked. This deep, multi-dimensional shade combines dark cherry red with subtle violet and brown undertones for a look that’s bold, easy to wear, and just a touch mysterious.

And guess what? You don’t need a fancy salon appointment to get in on the trend. With XMONDO’s Super Gloss in 5R Deep Red, you can achieve the cherry cola look right from the comfort of your shower. Here’s everything you need to know.


What Exactly Is Cherry Cola Hair?

It’s not quite red. Not quite brown. Not quite purple. Cherry cola is the perfect blend of all three, sitting somewhere between rich burgundy and dark cherry with subtle hints of violet. The shade is known for its depth, shine, and ability to flatter a wide range of skin tones.

The look is low-maintenance, high-impact, and works well on both lighter and darker bases (with varying results). If you’re already brunette, it can enhance your natural tone. If you’re blonde or have a lighter base, it shows up more vibrant and bold.

How to Get Cherry Cola Hair at Home

You don’t need to commit to permanent dye or spend hours at the salon. Super Gloss in 5R Deep Red is a color-depositing treatment that:

  • Adds pigment and shine in one step
  • Conditions as it colors (zero damage!)
  • Works in just 15 minutes

Steps to apply:

  1. Start with clean, dry hair
  2. Apply the gloss generously from roots to ends
  3. Comb through for even distribution
  4. Let process for 15 minutes
  5. Rinse thoroughly (no shampoo needed)

Done. You’re officially a cherry cola icon. 🍒💋
