Peculiarities
The dark brown tone makes any hairstyle attractive and effective. It easily fits on hair of any length and structure. Cold chestnut is a muted, matte brown color. The shade looks elegant and mysterious. Getting a dark, rich color with a cool undertone is not a problem. Today, thanks to modern dyeing techniques, it is possible to create a stylish shade with a pearlescent sheen.
It is also not necessary to completely dye the hair, since complex coloring (highlighting, ombre, shatush and balayazh) looks great with a similar color. The silver chestnut shimmers amazingly in the sun, and under artificial lighting creates a mirror shine.

As for the dark brown colors with a silvery sheen, the following shades are distinguished.
- Dark... A rich, cold tone is chosen by owners of long and medium hair. It perfectly sets off the bright features of the face and will add a piquant "zest" to any female look. Relevant for brown-eyed dark-skinned women. White-skinned "mermaids" will be able to make partial coloring with a similar tone.

- Black and chestnut. The shade can be described as a cross between brown and black. Relevant for girls of sultry, "southern" appearance. Saturated black chestnut is not suitable for ginger "beasts". Such ladies have white, almost "transparent" skin, so a dark color will only make their appearance sickly.

Dyeing methods
Getting a cool chestnut color at home is easy. The main thing is to find the right products. We are talking about professional paints or tint tonics. However, the final result will depend directly on the natural hair color. For example, getting a cold chestnut tone the first time is easiest for young ladies with fair hair.
Tinted shampoos are suitable for brunettes or brown-haired women. They will give your hair a beautiful silvery sheen. The most difficult thing is with fiery red curls. It is quite difficult to remove such a pigment. In this case, red-haired "beasts" are suitable for a dark chestnut color with a cold undertone.

Natural dyes (a combination of basma and henna, strong tea, coffee) will also be an excellent option. However, such staining methods must be repeated 4-6 times. Otherwise, the desired hue will not be saturated and bright. Cool tones are great for complex staining techniques. For example, the following ombre methods look impressive.
- Classic. At the roots, the hair is dark, and the ends are cast in cold chestnut "silver".
- Tortoiseshell... The main color is light brown, and the ends of the strands are painted in a frosty tone.

Highlighting with brown cold color also looks original. This technique is relevant for ash blondes. Bronding is no less important for this shade. Cold chestnut goes well with warm tones (copper, chocolate and caramel).

Care
The following tips will help you maintain rich color for a long time.
- Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo for colored hair. After water treatments, do not forget to apply a nourishing balm to your hair.
- Use tint toners 1 to 2 times a month to maintain color saturation.
- Protect your hair with a headdress. Under the influence of sunlight, cold tones "turn" into warm ones.
- Limit the use of styling tools (hair dryer, iron and straightener). Hair color fades from high temperatures.
- Apply regenerating cream masks to your hair 1-2 times a week.
