Chocolate shades of hair captivate with their depth and beauty of overflows. Many people are close to the pronounced naturalness of this tone, its restrained but attractive sexuality, the bewitching warmth of halftones, iridescent with a soft gloss. Is it possible to achieve a luxurious color on your own? Or is it necessary to visit a master for this?

Warm chocolate brown hair color is not just a dark brown tone that is too simple compared to a chocolate palette. It is the complex combination of shades, shine and saturation that made it so popular. Although this color will suit most women, for some, lighter or brighter shades of chocolate are relevant. Fortunately, their palette is varied, and there are plenty of options. The "sweet" range includes such fashionable and sought-after tones:

• light chocolate with wheat and almond tints;

• chocolate browncombining restraint and softness of dark and light blond shades;

• caramel - with reddish mischievous notes;

• milk chocolate - gentle and cool, despite the depth and intensity, especially effective on highlighted hair;

• chocolate chestnut, giving the image a mystery;

• dark and bitter chocolate, emphasizing the natural features of the face and making the appearance memorable and unusual;

• chocolate fondant, which combines searing dark and red halftones.

The sweet palette also perfectly combines with other shades and techniques of execution: hair dyed in chocolate and intermediate tones looks great when using the balayage method with burgundy, ruby ​​and golden-chestnut transitions.Chestnut in combination with colors of the "tasty" range looks especially noble, even aristocratic. If its saturation is not required with a pale appearance, then highlighting the strands and stretching can make the image unique, but lighter.

When choosing a paint, it is necessary to take into account not only the color of the eyes and skin, but also the natural color of the hair in order to avoid inconsistencies and the appearance of unexpected shades after dyeing. A mix of chocolate with chestnut notes has an advantage over other shades of this color, as it is harmoniously combined with any type and color of skin (provided that the eyes are bright - green, blue, dark brown). However, other shades of these base tones have special preferences:

• reddish notes in such hair, giving off copper, are ideal for young ladies with golden skin, light tan, clear light or hazel, amber eyes;

• girls with fair skin and grayish hair should choose the reddish shades of the palette;

• if a woman has pinkish or peach skin, eyes of a marsh or light brown tone, then they are closer to a chocolate brown color;

• dark chocolate chestnut, and this is the color of dark chocolate, is organic with brown, blue eyes against the background of a beautiful tan or dark skin, but the image is no less effective in combination with fair skin;

• for blondes, gifted with a delicate white face, soft milk chocolate will become a suitable shade - so ladies can make their appearance brighter and more expressive.

Whoever shades of chocolate are unlikely to suit are girls with light eyes in combination with the same lightened eyebrows - in this case, it is worth slightly darkening their color. For dark, highly tanned skin, it is better not to use cold and dark colors. Any bright coffee-chocolate shades emphasize skin imperfections, visual imperfections of the face, do not combine with a narrow and elongated oval, since they lengthen it even more.

Girls who want to dye their hair at home on their own should arm themselves with the necessary knowledge and take into account important recommendations. Their implementation will allow you to achieve a luxurious result:

• having chosen a paint, you should not rush to paint the entire head - to make sure that the shade is relevant, you can first try to paint one small strand;
• with a light original color, you need to understand that when choosing a chocolate-chestnut shade, you will need to periodically paint over the growing roots;
• if the curls have already been painted using red and red tones, then the old color must be washed off completely, otherwise you can get a completely different tone, or an unwanted redhead will appear during coloring;
• it makes no sense to paint with any shades of chocolate, if your own color is darker than the selected dye - in such a situation, a pronounced result can not be expected;
• deep and rich tones of this palette come out only on natural, light, light brown and highlighted hair.
