Chocolate hair color is a classic. Today, such shades are in trend because of the fashion for everything natural. If not everyone decides to drastically change the image, to become a brunette or a blonde, then the chocolate color is neutral and suitable for a gradual transformation.

This color will decorate hair of any length, suitable for almost any skin tone. It will emphasize your individuality and unique style. The most important thing is to make the right choice in a rich range of chocolate tones.

Dye your hair chocolate

Despite the general opinion that brown hair color is best combined with bronze tan and brown eyes, this is not entirely correct. Look around: nature has awarded a lot of women with this hair color. You can meet brown-haired women with eyes and skin of any shades.

If you have blond or light brown hair, then when dyeing in a chocolate tone, you will get exactly the color that is indicated on the package. But it is important not to overdo the dye on the hair, so as not to become a burning brunette. Although a few washes will lighten the hair, the mood will be spoiled. There is another subtlety when dyeing blond hair in chocolate color: light roots grow quickly, which does not look neat. In this case, you will have to constantly tint curls.

If the brunette decided to achieve a chocolate shade, a hair wash will be required. On dark hair, the paint can only give a shade of dark chocolate, which will be visible only in the light.

Carry out a test coloring of a strand of hair in advance, note the time for which the desired shade will be obtained.

If you have correctly identified your color type, then choosing a good shade will not be difficult.

Color type "autumn" - warm shades with reddish and reddish tints.
Color type "winter" - cold shades of chocolate color from gray to black sheen.

Photos with chocolate-colored hair will help you navigate in choosing the right shade for your appearance.

Highlighting on chocolate hair color

Classical highlighting with bright transitions is not relevant today, stylists advise American highlighting, hair glazing, coloring and staining with MagiContrast.

Such dyeing techniques for chocolate hair color look beautiful, but only if it is a natural hair color. Otherwise, when lightening, it will not be possible to achieve an evenly colored strand, it will be light at the base, and red at the tips.

When highlighting for chocolate color, do not try to achieve light strands. Choose golden, bronze, caramel shades, those that are a couple of tones lighter than the original tone you have chosen.

If you have a shade of dark chocolate on your hair and you are an extravagant bold person, then you can highlight with red or blue-black strands.

The right choice of coloring method will create gentle sun glare in the hair, add volume to the hairstyle, and make it elegant.

The composition is used as a hair mask, kept for 30 minutes, then washed off with a mild shampoo or warm water.
In equal proportions, dye your hair with henna and basma with the addition of strong natural coffee.

Chocolate hair color:

Dark shades of hair are more popular today than ever. Palettes of professional dyes allow you to achieve a noble shade: "frosty brown", "ashy" or "golden brunette". There are several varieties of dark chocolate hair dye. Depending on the structure of the hair and the natural shade, they can give a different result, and not always expected. How to achieve a noble shade and at the same time not spoil the hair structure is described in the article.

The choice of a dark shade depending on the color type

Every woman is unique by nature. It has a different color type depending on skin tone and eyes. The use of tone hair dye can transform someone: make the appearance brighter and nobler. And someone, on the contrary, "cheapen" outwardly and provoke a painful look.

Girls of the "winter" color type are naturally endowed with a bright contrasting appearance. Dark eyes against the background of white, porcelain skin look aristocratic. Cold shades of chocolate are ideal for such girls. Golden and copper are taboo. In some cases, the piquancy of appearance gives a reddish or purple color nuance.

Girls of the "autumn" color type have olive or fair skin, green, brown eyes. Freckles on the nose. Natural hair color is often reddish. Such women are ideal shades with a copper nuance or gold. They can safely experiment with dark chocolate hair dye, the photos of the shades of which are presented in this article. Ash and girls of the "autumn" color type are most often not suitable, as they give them a somewhat unhealthy look.

The "summer" appearance color type is characterized by very delicate facial features: such women have light eyes and pale porcelain skin. Blue or blue wreaths often shine through it. For girls of the "summer" color type, the hair color "dark chocolate" is categorically not suitable. In this case, the paint can be of arbitrarily high quality: the problem is in the color dissonance that inexorably arises when painting. Facial features immediately look not cute, but painful. The situation can be corrected by bright makeup. It is better for girls of the "summer" color type not to experiment with dark shades of hair, beige, golden shades are ideal for them.

Girls of the "spring" color type have a yellowish or swarthy skin tone. Freckles may appear on the nose - in some cases they spread over the entire area of the face. Girls of the spring color type are suitable for golden shades of brown and chocolate. If the facial features are soft, there is excess weight, haircuts with sharp angles should be avoided. Optimal styling with curls, curls. You can do a perm. Girls of the spring color type are ideal for both golden dark shades and blond with warm color nuances.

Variety of chocolate shades of hair

The variety of chocolate shades strikes the imagination of a person who is inexperienced in the palettes of professional dyes. Any woman can choose for herself a shade that will transform her appearance. Hair dye "dark chocolate" can, depending on the added pigments, give a different result. The structure and condition of the hair is also of great importance when coloring: the color may turn out lighter or darker than expected. The exact result of staining can only be predicted by an experienced stylist.

Natural dark or bitter chocolate is presented in palettes of both professional dyes and mass market. This is a classic, it allows you to create a noble and aristocratic image for almost any woman. The exception is the girls of the "summer" color type, for them such a shade will turn out to be too dark and create excessive contrast.
Black-chocolate hair color is suitable only for girls of the "winter" color type. Others can experiment too, but keep in mind that pale skin and light eyes will look pale and sickly against this shade.
"Hot Chocolate" - rich dark brown shade. It will perfectly refresh and complement the image of swarthy brown-eyed girls with natural copper / cognac strands. Not suitable for naturally fair-haired, light-eyed girls.
"Dark chocolate" with a golden tint is ideal for girls of the "spring" color type. It will make freckles on the face a nice addition to the image, give youthfulness, emphasize a fresh complexion. It can be used in any image, with any hairstyles.

"Chocolate caramel" is darker - this is a shade at 5-6 levels of tone depth. Suitable for women whose hair color is naturally red or golden. Especially luxurious looks "chocolate caramel" on well-groomed hair, a straight line falling to the shoulders or shoulder blades.
"Milk chocolate". It is called universal by stylists, because it goes equally well with both warm and cold color types. Presented in the palette of almost any professional. Today, this shade is one of the leaders in terms of the frequency of requests from clients who turn to salons. It should not be used by representatives of the "autumn" color type: it does not have pronounced red tones, but only muted brown.

Which dye to choose: professional or mass market

This question worries any woman who decides to dye at home. Hair dye "dark chocolate" is presented in almost any palette, and even more than one shade. In addition, girls who are not experienced in coloring often literally run their eyes from the abundance of mixtons, shades, a variety of caring ampoules that are designed to enrich the coloring compositions.

Mass market dyes can be bought at any department selling household chemicals. Their main disadvantage is the presence in the package of an already pre-selected oxidizing agent. As a rule, it has a high concentration - 9% or 12%. The impact on the hair of such an aggressive composition most often ends with their damaged structure. Hair looks dry, thinned, split ends.

The difference between the use of professional dyes

Professional dyes involve the choice of the concentration of the oxidizing agent. Depending on this factor, the brightening qualities of the dye can be adjusted. If the concentration is not carefully chosen, there is a high risk of spoiling the hair structure: they will look burnt and dry.

Therefore, at the first dyeing with professional hair dye "dark chocolate" (the photo of the result is presented in the article), it is better to contact the salon. The stylist will advise the optimal brand, the concentration of the oxidizing agent. After that, you can safely repeat the procedure already at home. You can buy professional dyes in hairdressing stores: in any large shopping center, as a rule, there are such outlets.

Overview of professional dyes

Below is a list of the most popular professional dark chocolate hair dyes. Reviews about them are different: depending on the initial condition of the hair, the result may be different. The girls, who correctly observed the proportion of mixing with the oxidizing agent and selected the optimal concentration of the oxidant for their hair type, were satisfied with the result.

Estelle Essex No. 7.71;
Estel Professional Only Color 7.32 - "bitter chocolate";
Brelil Colorianne Shine 4.38 - "bitter chocolate";
Brelil Colorianne Shine 5.38 - "light chocolate";
Estel Essex 7.71, 7.77 - "milk dark chocolate";
Constant Delight 4.68 - "dark chocolate copper".

How to avoid unwanted color nuances?

That's what mixers are for. They represent an additional color nuance. The tube with mixton looks like a bottle of dye familiar to everyone. Mixons are as follows:

purple - to neutralize yellowness (can be used by girls whose natural golden color nuance in their hair is very strong);
green - to achieve the most ashy and cold chocolate shade;
blue serves to neutralize redness.

Of course, in most shades these color nuances are already implemented. Mixton should be used when the hair was previously dyed with permanent products with ammonia in the composition, or if its own pigment in the cuticle structure is so strong that the usual dye is not able to interrupt it.

Stylist tips for using professional dyes

Below are simple rules that will allow you to achieve a gorgeous result and at the same time maintain healthy and thick hair.

Be as careful as possible when choosing the concentration of the oxidizing agent. This mistake can be fatal: if the hair structure is burned, no, even the most expensive mask or keratin concentrate can restore it.

After the dyeing procedure, the hair needs specialized care. To make them look like from the cover of a magazine or from a shampoo commercial, you will have to invest in a set of professional care products. From time to time, special restorative procedures should be carried out from preparations with keratin, ceramides or collagen.

In order to protect the hair structure from the aggressive effects of ammonia (in case a permanent dye is used), a special ampoule can be added to the mixed coloring agent. For example, from "Estelle".

shades of chocolate

What colors are called chocolate?

Shades of chocolate are different - from pale beige to deep brown.

Chocolate hair color palette:

milky (a combination of warm wheat, brown tones);
dark (deep chestnut with highlights in the sun);
warm chestnut (with chestnut highlights);
caramel (deep beige with a brown undertone);
red (with fiery notes);
black (with chestnut highlights in the sun).
