The coffee shade of hair is one of the most natural, which is why it is deservedly popular among women of all ages. The base tone of coffee is considered to be dark chestnut at number 3.0. However, it would be a mistake to assume that only one tone refers to coffee shades.
The color of coffee is a whole range of shades from coffee with cream to chocolate-coffee. Thus, both fair-haired girls and dark brown-haired women can choose a shade that suits their type of appearance.

How do you achieve the desired color?
The coffee shade is achieved in different ways depending on what the original hair color is. Since the "highlight" of the tone is its complexity, only a professional colorist can choose the right combination of coffee and milk. Moreover, if the hair is initially dark, the desired shade may not be obtained immediately, but only upon re-dyeing - after lightening. If the hair is painted, it will be necessary to make a wash, and only then proceed to coloring.
If there is gray hair in your hair, you need to take into account that not every shade of coffee paints it over. The lightest shades may not completely "overlap" the gray strands.

Professional coloring masters mix two or even three tones to obtain a beautiful and deep shade, without using ready-made compositions. So the hair is more natural, visually more voluminous and lush.
This color looks great not only by itself, but also in the balayage technique, when coloring or highlighting. It perfectly balances dark roots, in addition, such partial staining is much less traumatic than applying dye to all strands.

How to care for dyed strands?
To keep your acquired coffee hair from fading or turning golden, there are a number of guidelines to follow.
- Use tonic or tint agents systematically.
- If you want the color to take hold and plan to wear it for a long time, you should use a long-lasting paint, renewing it monthly. After the tone is fixed, you can change the persistent paints to ammonia-free compounds and tinting agents.
- Every time you wash, you need to use shampoo and conditioner for your hair type (always dyed). This stabilizes the result, the color remains fresh, it is not affected by alkali. Often the line for hair care is advised by the colorist who produced the coloring in the salon.
- For complex staining, which includes the shade of coffee with milk, do not use homemade mask recipes. You need to use only professional hair products, preferably from the same line with shampoo and balm.
- If you are going to dye your hair, do not wash it 24 hours before going to the colorist. Then the penetration of the pigment will be deeper, and the color will last much longer.

Creating a harmonious image
The shade of coffee with milk, like other tones of the range - iced coffee, cappuccino, mocha, coffee-chocolate - requires a certain image from its owner. Such complex and bright shades must be matched. A wardrobe calls for vibrant colors, bold combinations and silhouettes. In addition, make-up is required. It does not have to be avant-garde, but it must be neat and thoughtful. Therefore, it is necessary to practice, learn how to do it correctly and efficiently - today there are a huge number of opportunities for this.
In clothes and accessories, shades of beige should be avoided, as there is a risk that the face, hair and outfit will merge into one color spot. In addition, you should not wear extremely warm shades, since coffee is still a cold tone.

Who is it for?
For those lucky women whose color type is autumn is recommended mocha shade... It has a golden tint, which favorably emphasizes the peach skin of "autumn" women, their green eyes. Mocha, like the rest of the undertones of the coffee range, is universal, suitable for representatives of other color types.
White-skinned "autumn" girls will suit gold and bronze tones of coffee, but dark shades are best avoided.
The sharp contrast of dark strands and white skin will create the effect of excessive pallor. Therefore, the optimal colors will be espresso, mocha, "diluted" with milk, and also coffee glaze.
