Cherry is the loud end of red: high saturation, cool rather than tomato, and it never settles into anything that could pass for natural auburn. It bleeds more than most shades in the first few washes, so light towels and pillowcases are at risk until it stabilizes. The fade runs down through raspberry and then coral pink, and plenty of people like the later stages as much as the first week.

Undertonecool, neutral. There is no orange in this red, so it hangs below the jaw without turning the skin ruddy, and cool or neutral complexions take it most cleanly.
Starting pointThe ends need lifting to a light orange or pale copper first, because on unbleached dark hair a red this bright barely registers.
UpkeepExpect to re-dip the ends around every three to five weeks as pigment travels down the shaft, ignore the scalp completely, and use an acidic conditioner on ends left dry by the pre-lift.
