Chocolate hair is one of the timeless shades of brown! The color differential is the warm background with brown reflections which, in the natural version and without any other mixed reflections, refers to the candy that gives the nuance its name. With the possibility of being adapted to different skin tones, chocolate hair also enhances all hair textures, from straight to curly. Chocolate hair can have brown reflections or mixed with other nuances, such as gold and copper, resulting in golden chocolate hair and coppery chocolate hair.

Learn how to combine chocolate hair with your skin tone

Chocolate hair is a color with a warm background and brown highlights. With this information, you can adapt the color so that it looks perfect on you! Light-skinned women can bet on natural and lightened chocolate hair, combining with different versions of the color. While brunettes with a warm undertone harmonize better with coppery chocolate and medium tones, those with black skin may prefer darker or lighter nuances, such as golden chocolate hair. As much as you can harmonize your hair color with your skin, you can choose the nuance that you think is most perfect!

Get to know golden chocolate hair, one of the shades that are most successful among brown-haired women

Golden chocolate hair is a great option for those who want to lighten their strands without betting on blonde hair. The golden highlights warm up the look and create a subtle contrast between chocolate and blonde. In addition, golden hair is a trend for this season as it combines with sunny and bright days. While the color guarantees an aligned effect on straight hair, the golden chocolate hair creates a depth effect on curly hair even with color!

Chocolate copper hair combines brown and copper highlights for an intense result

If you want a light result, but with intense reflections, chocolate copper hair is the perfect color for you. The color is somewhere between brown and red as it mixes copper, reddish and brown reflections, while still maintaining the luminosity of copper and the warm background of chocolate hair. One of the advantages of chocolate copper hair is that the color fades slowly due to the durability of the brown background, increasing the spacing between touch-ups!

How to achieve chocolate hair color?

Depending on the natural color of your locks, chocolate hair can be achieved at home and without bleaching! Blonde, light brown and medium hair does not need to be bleached, but dark brown and black hair does need to be bleached.

Our suggestion is nuance 6.7 Chocolate by Cor&Ton, which guarantees high pigmentation of the color and the brown reflections of the paint! After investing in the color box, doing the strand test and gathering the necessary items to dye the strands, it is important to follow a step by step to dye your hair correctly. Check out the tutorial we prepared for you:

Step 1: Insert the gloves and place the contents of the tube and the oxidant in a plastic container. Mix the products with a brush until a homogeneous texture is observed;

Step 2: Separate the hair into locks;

Step 4: Comb the hair with a wide tooth comb to distribute the product. After that, massage the root and length;

Step 5: Let it act for 40 minutes;

Step 6: After waiting for the product to take effect, rinse all of your hair and apply one of the FixaCor sachets all over your hair. After 3 minutes, rinse.

How to take care of chocolate hair in everyday life?

To do this, you can bet on a complete collection formulated to take care of damaged hair.
