35 Scrumptious Vibrant Hues for Chocolate Brown Hair

Prev1 of 35Next


Vibrant chocolate hues remain in the mainstream from season to season. No wonder, they are of the same importance to brunettes and girls with medium brown hair as platinum or strawberry blonde to blondes. The palette of chocolate shades varies from milk chocolate with warm red notes to the cool bittersweet one. Commonly we attribute to the chocolates all the sweet and delicious browns, such as mocha, hot cocoa, truffle brown, chocolate cherry, brown sugar, espresso, sweet cola, etc. Chocolate hair looks classy, dramatic and occasionally a little bit strict. Even men unconsciously believe that women with chocolate hair are more serious, trustworthy and loyal. That’s why dark-haired ladies happen to hold top positions much oftener than lightheaded blondes. However, a chocolate brunette can easily look very feminine and romantic once she curls her delicious locks or shape them into a chic updo. Since chocolate palette is rather broad and versatile, even most blondes can afford it. How to choose the right hue? Viewing the gallery I have prepared for you and some of my considerations may help a lot.





The Right Hue of Chocolate Brown Hair


The choice of the right hue depends on your skin undertone (warm/cool) and your personal preferences: some women prefer chocolate tones with a reddish tint, others try to achieve noble cold shades. With the right choice of hue, chocolate color refreshes your face and makes it look younger.



According to the four-season typology that suggests creating your image around a defined color palette that brings out the natural tones of your appearance, women with warm golden undertone of skin, belonging to the autumn colortype, will look great with chocolate hair hues, bearing a warm reddish sheen. And ladies with cool or olive skin undertones (summer or winter colortype) should try to achieve deep velvety hues without any warm red tints. Normally these are the shades such as hot or black chocolate. As for the “spring girls” with clear warm skin undertone and natural light golden blonde or strawberry blonde hair, chocolate hues are not their best choice, since a “spring” face is going to look a kind of washed out in such a rich vibrant frame.



Chocolate hair harmonizes the best with tanned skin and green, hazel or brown eyes. However, keeping in mind all the variety of chocolate hues, it would be fair to say that almost any woman can select her most flattering chocolate shade. There are fantastic examples of rich chocolate hair, complimenting fair skin with cool undertone and clear blue or blue-grey eyes. Such looks appear highly contrasting and eye-catching, but remember to make a start from something that is given to you by nature. Here are vivid examples.


Modern Coloristic Solutions for Chocolate Hair


#1: Marvelous Mahogany



Rich brown hair color often reminds a chocolate dessert. This wavy dark auburn ombre mimics the complex-yet-satisfying mixture of a turtle brownie—thick chocolate topped with peanut and caramel. A delicious hair hue is always twice appealing.




#2: Long and Luscious


Dark chocolate brown hair can sometimes seem too dense when it is long and thick; add texture into the mix and it can be overwhelming. The key is to break up the dark color with highlights, even a subtle wash of medium brown can add dimension and depth to your locks.




#3: Sweet Soft Curls


Red hair is fun because it can blend well with brown or blonde tones depending on whether you want to lighten or darken your base color. The medium hairstyle in this photo incorporates delicate reddish brown tones which appear nobly subdued.




#4: Creative Caramel


If you want to brighten your mocha hair color, without the upkeep and maintenance commitment your make when going lighter, filtering some caramel and golden blonde highlights will get the job done. It’s an easy way to bring warmth to your complexion that looks especially ravishing on brunettes with a warm skin tone.




#5: Short and Sassy


Cherry brown is a statement-making hue, so you don’t want to distract from it with long or limp strands. Show off the rich reddish-brown tones with a fun curly bob. This is an ideal short cut styled into glazed curls.




#6: Bright and Bold


Instead of using your cherry brown hair color all over, try an ombre for a volcano-like effect that will ignite your strands with bold copper and mahogany hues. It almost appears metallic, which makes this curled style shimmer and stand out in the sea of boring brown hairdos.




#7: Warm and Wavy


Similar to the picture above, this look uses color around the face instead of strictly towards the ends. This is useful because it brings the warmth of the tones directly around the visage to brighten up your complexion. It’s perfect for women who feel their look has gotten a bit tired—time to get your spark back!




#8: Banging in Black


Incorporate a subtle wash of violet into your chocolate brown hair color to create visual interest that’s not too obvious or over-the-top. The color will look vibrant in the sun, but will still appear dark when indoors. This is the best idea for a brunette who loves her look, but enjoys an element of surprise every now and then.




#9: Stick with the Standards


When trying a new style it’s important to be true to yourself. If you are not a person who enjoys wearing bright colors, you probably won’t want them in your hair either. A rich dark chocolate hair color will blend easily with your wardrobe of soft shades and neutrals.




#10: Spiced with Cinnamon


Cinnamon is a red shade with chocolate lowlights that is vibrant yet still very sweet. It makes a statement without veering into the Ronald McDonald comparisons that some red hues may fall in. This one is ideal for those natural red heads who want to temper their hair color.




#11: Sun-Kissed and Sexy


If you live in a sunny city—or just want to feel like you are in one—it’s time to lighten up your look to fit your surroundings. Trendy women are flocking towards the tortoiseshell trend, which mixes caramel, copper and golden tones into your chocolate hair color with a warm natural hue.




#12: Full Fall Foliage


Everyone loves autumn, but you don’t have to wait until the season comes to add rich colors into your hair. Take a cue from fall foliage and incorporate some mahogany and red hues to your hair for a look that is as flavorful and fun as a pumpkin spice latte.




#13: Bouncy Red and Blonde Curls


The chocolate cherry hair color has a distinct mix of brown and red tones, kind of like a Dr. Pepper soda. The blonde highlights create a fun pop and clash of colors by contrasting with the warm base hue of the hairstyle. This is an ideal color combo for ladies who enjoy experimenting, but work in an office environment that is a bit more conservative.




#14: Dark and Lovely


This hairdo will never go out of fashion. It is a simple, straightforward and timeless look. Long layers in a deep espresso hair color are perfect for a woman who prefers a no-fuss approach to beauty, but wants to stay stylish. To keep your locks shiny, ask your hair care professional for a gloss treatment.




#15: Nice and Natural


Balayage, the highlighting method that paints the surface of your strands, can work equally well on chocolate brown hair as it would on blonde hair. The technique uses colors that are complementary to your skin tone and hair color. These dark chestnut tones would complement women with tan or olive complexions.




#16: Fluffy Fringed Bob


A layered angled cut created fullness and texture, especially towards the back of the head. But, if your hair is already thick it might appear too round. The key is to accent selected pieces throughout the surface using a lighter color to showcase the movement and layers within the haircut.




#17: Bangs with Body


When you have an intricate haircut like this one, it’s best to skip a bright color and opt for chocolate brown hair dye instead. The dark color will lend an air of sophistication to the funky cut with a wild side bang. As with makeup and fashion, a successful hairstyle masters the balance between the cut and color.




#18: Chocolate Swirl Curls


In the same way that the best desserts need toppings, a good hair color needs highlights to increase the visual interest of the haircut. Blending milk chocolate, caramel, and light chocolate hues enhances the spiraled style and elevates natural-looking waves.




#19: Long and Strong


Emphasize luscious, healthy-looking locks with a smooth mahogany hair color. The chocolate undertones create a depth and richness for the eye-catching hue that is also chic. This beautiful blend is perfect for a woman who likes to draw attention without trying too hard.




#20: Bold and Beautiful


Similar to the look above, this style uses mahogany tones as an ombre for black hair. The contrast will pop in the sunlight as shown, but will seem more low-key when indoors. It’s great for those looking for a slight makeover without doing anything too drastic.




#21: Chocolate Truffles


This blissfully elegant tone mimics the one of the ganache chocolate crème, you blend to make scrumptious truffles. Rich and elegant, neither too dark nor too light, it’s a dreamy chocolate hue to accentuate your brown eyes.




#22: Bittersweet Ombre


Jet black roots, melted into bittersweet chocolate are a great idea of a classy sombre for long-haired brunettes. No excessive milk or sugar, only the genuine and noble dark chocolate shade.

If I have managed to spark you too, and you decide on going chocolate, consider whether you want to do it yourself or go to a salon. When dying your hair at home it’s important to remember that on very dark or previously dyed hair the chocolate hue you’ll obtain may differ from what you see on the dye pack. So, weigh all the pros and cons and good luck!
