Okay, so let me tell you about my burgundy hair phase. Remember when everyone was doing that wine-colored hair trend? I spent $450 at the salon getting my extensions colored burgundy, and girl, they were fried within two months. These pre-colored bundles? Completely different story. The burgundy is already perfect. That rich, deep wine color catches the light without looking costume-y, and the hair quality stays intact because it's professionally colored before you get it.

What Makes These Bundles Special
Not gonna lie, when I first saw pre-colored bundles, I was skeptical. But here's what changed my mind: the color penetration is so much better when it's done professionally before bundling. You know how when you color extensions yourself, sometimes the inside doesn't take the color evenly? Or the ends look different from the roots? None of that here. Each strand is that perfect burgundy from root to tip.
The body wave texture is honestly the sweet spot for this color. In the salon, we'd always recommend body wave for colored hair because it holds styling better than straight hair but doesn't require the maintenance of tighter curls. Plus, burgundy with those soft waves? It's giving expensive without the price tag. These bundles come in that graduated length setup (like 16", 18", and 20"), which creates natural layering without needing to cut into them too much.
What really sold me though is that this hair acts like virgin hair even though it's colored. You can still flat iron it smooth for that sleek burgundy bob look, or enhance the waves for more volume. Try doing that with hair you've bleached and colored yourself. Completely different experience.
The Real Technical Details
Here's the thing about pre-colored hair that most people don't realize: when it's done at the processing level like this, the cuticle stays way more intact than DIY coloring. That means less tangling, more shine, and honestly? Better longevity. I've installed these exact bundles on three different clients, and they're all getting at least 8 weeks before needing maintenance.
September is actually perfect timing for burgundy hair. The color photographs beautifully in fall lighting, and it transitions perfectly from summer highlights to those deeper fall tones everyone wants. Plus, if you're doing this for the holidays, you're getting ahead of the rush when everyone suddenly wants appointment slots in November.
Pro tip from doing installs: get the matching closure or frontal if you're not leaving hair out. The color match is exact, which is nearly impossible to achieve when you're trying to match colored bundles from different batches.
Girl, This Is Your Sign
If you've been wanting to try burgundy but dreading the damage or salon costs, these bundles solve both problems. You're getting that expensive color look with virgin hair quality. Three bundles give you full coverage whether you're doing a bob or going for length. And real talk? Burgundy body wave is one of those styles that makes everyone ask where you get your hair done. September's the perfect time to switch it up before everyone else does it for the holidays.
Hair Care Tips for Your Burgundy Bundles
Okay, so you got the bundles. Now let's keep them looking fresh. Girl, I learned this the hard way: colored hair needs extra love, even when it's pre-colored. Here's my routine that keeps these burgundy waves popping:
First thing: sulfate-free everything. I'm serious. Regular shampoo will strip that burgundy color faster than you can say "wine hair." Wash maybe once a week, twice max if you're really active. When you do wash, focus the shampoo on your scalp and just let it rinse through the lengths. The bundles themselves don't get oily like your natural hair does.
For moisture, I swear by a leave-in conditioner on the ends. Just work it through when the hair is damp, focusing on those ends that can get dry. And here's something nobody tells you: keep temperatures below 350°F when heat styling. The burgundy color makes the hair a bit more fragile than natural black bundles, so lower heat is your friend. Always, always use a heat protectant spray. I literally keep one in my styling bag at all times.
When it comes to detangling, start from the bottom and work your way up with a wide-tooth comb. Never start from the roots; that's how you create unnecessary shedding. And if you hit a tangle? Don't force it. Work it out gently with your fingers first.
Night Protection and Styling Ideas
Let me tell you what I do at night to keep these waves intact: silk pillowcase or a silk scarf, no exceptions. Cotton will rough up those cuticles and have your burgundy looking dull by week two. I usually do a loose braid or wrap my hair with a silk scarf. If you're doing the braid, keep it loose. Tight braids will give you crimped waves in the morning that don't match the body wave pattern.
Now for the fun part: styling these bundles. The body wave texture is literally the most versatile:
The thing about burgundy body wave is it photographs amazingly in any style. That wine color has depth that black bundles just don't give you, so even simple styles look elevated.
