Marsai Martin is craving an iced cold glass of cherry cola — well, sort of. The star just gave TikTok’s viral Cherry Coke hair trend her stamp of approval with her new ‘do.
Marsai Martin showed off her new hair color on Instagram, calling it a “reset.” Her hair, which is likely a weave, is now a rich, deep red-purple color — not quite red, not quite burgundy, not quite maroon, but rather a mix of all three.
In the first photo, Martin stands directly in the sunlight to show off every facet of the shade, and it looks nearly magenta. When she’s indoors posing in natural light, her hair looks much more purple than red. It’s multifaceted, chameleonic, and so much fun for summer. The actor wore her hair parted to one side and blown out into full, luscious waves, and paired the new color with minimal makeup, just a touch of blush, some mascara, and a nude-rose lip.

If Martin’s color is giving you ’90s and ’00s flashbacks, there’s a reason for that! It was one of the most popular shades of the Y2K era, and TikTok has brought it back to the forefront once again. Martin’s take is a pretty faithful recreation of the burgundy-brunette fusion, as though she stepped right out of 2002.
The actor has never rocked a color quite like this before, though she loves changing up her hair color and style. Prior to the cherry cola transformation, she wore her hair in long braids, changed it up with an adorable curly long bob, and stunned in a bright copper.
Beauty has always been a major part of her life; not only does she look amazing in every hair color, but she’s also a brand ambassador for Clinique. “I was in a very female-oriented household growing up. I had my mom, my grandma, my great grandma in the house, and even my aunties at times,” she previously shared. “The beauty of women was all around me growing up and it helped even more when I got into an industry that is very heavy on being in the glam chair.”
