Chocolate ash hair color: types of shades and coloring

The color palette that is used today for dyeing hair is striking in its variety. Among natural and extraordinary options, varieties of basic shades are also popular, for example, chocolate-ash, which finds fans among women and girls of different ages.

Brown or chocolate hair color is visually recognizable by everyone, since it is considered a type of natural that occurs in women who do not dye their curls. It is for this reason that it is used extremely rarely for painting, in contrast to the unique shades and undertones, which are abundantly presented in the palette of manufacturers of coloring compositions. One of them is ash-chocolate, which is practically not found in its pure form.

In light of the exoticism and uniqueness of this hair color, this ultra-fashionable shade is not suitable for every woman.

• First of all, it is recommended to use it for brunettes. The color will lie down without preliminary preparation of the curls, since the final pigment will change minimally, and the shade will be distributed through the hair concisely without spots and pronounced transitions even in the root zone.
• Natural blondes can also resort to dyeing in chocolate and ash, but it will look most expressive with soft coloring or highlighting strands.
• As for the haircut, the brown-ash will sparkle as attractively as possible on medium-length hair, as well as on hairstyles with asymmetry, on haircuts with torn bangs.

It will be possible to decide the important question of whether the color is suitable for the client, if we take into account the woman's color type.

• Ash brown refers to a cool color scheme. Usually it is recommended for girls and women of summer color type with gray or blue eyes, as well as porcelain-colored skin.
• For the winter color type, it is worth choosing light variations that will not have too expressive depth.
• A woman and girls of the spring color type should not be repainted in too contrasting shades, since the struggle between heat and cold can negatively affect the result. However, for zonal highlighting or coloring using the shatush technique, this option will be very useful. It is important that the transitions are as natural and smooth as possible.

It is also worth noting that some women are not recommended to choose a chocolate-ash color for painting.

Ash-chocolate refers to cold brown-haired shades. It contains gray without blotches of bronze or yellow, which determines the predisposition to cold colors. From ash-blond, which is quite often confused with brown-ash, it is distinguished by rich shades that are somewhat removed from the mouse color.

The shade is quite multifaceted and enjoys well-deserved popularity., in fact, it remains a well-known chocolate, but with the presence of a gray undertone, which takes it away from the warm variations of brown, in addition, there will be no gold in it at all. For complete coloring, several variations of chocolate-ash are presented today.

Manufacturers name this color differently. This option is popular due to the fact that it will become an intermediate shade between a full-fledged brown-haired and blond. Light chocolate-ash is recommended for those women who prefer light changes without a radical change of their image. The final tone will have an attractive gray tint, which is suitable for girls and women of all ages.

The classic version from a series of cool brown-haired shades, which can be used for full or partial coloring. Perfectly harmonizes with contrasting as well as lighter or darker undertones when working with hair using the partial dyeing technique.

Suitable for a radical change of image for brunettes. Stylists very often use it in conjunction with milk chocolate to work with hair using the technique of smooth transitions of shades one to another, for example, ombre, shatush and others. Despite the versatility of color, it has some limitations, in particular, they relate to age.

Most opinions agree that it is best to entrust the painting work to professionals, but the transformation into a chocolate-ash one is quite possible at home. The result will largely depend on the condition of the curls, as well as experiments with color previously conducted. In this case, curls that have already been painted in dark shades, for example, dark chocolate, eggplant, black, will require the removal of the old coloring pigment. And also it will be necessary to carry out a wash for the fair sex, who previously had mahogany or mahogany hair color.

Preliminary procedures should not discolor the natural pigment, but only remove the old artificial one. The natural color of chocolate-ash will lie smoother and better. If we neglect the preliminary procedures, then the new fashionable shade on the hair will be almost invisible.

But compliance with the entire dyeing algorithm, as well as taking into account the peculiarities of hair cuticle pigmentation, will be mandatory. As practice shows, the most beautiful and easiest color will lie on light brown curls. For gray hair and highlighting, it is necessary to select a dye composition intended for such curls. This is due to the peculiarities of the structure of such hair shafts.

For home procedures, you will need the following inventory:

• dye;
• gloves, cape;
• brushes, container for the preparation of the coloring composition;
• hat, towel;
• clarifier if necessary.

If the primary task is to remove old paint, then the clarifier should be applied to unwashed curls, hide the hair under a hat, and withstand the allotted time. Over time, the composition from the hair should be washed off, the curls should be treated with a neutralizing product to stop the action of the previous substance.

Then the hair should be dried, the selected tone should be applied to the entire head for complete dyeing, or highlighted. For these purposes, you can use a special hat with holes for strands or foil. Having withstood the paint for the prescribed period of time, it is washed off.

Hair must be treated with a balm after washing, which will fix the color - usually it is sold together with paint. An alternative to it at home can be a solution of table vinegar and water. The result on the hair may differ slightly from that shown on the dye package. If the final shade does not suit you at all, then to give the curls the desired color, you can use a series of tint balms or shampoos.

For those women who have chosen for themselves paint in variations of chocolate-ash, there are a number of recommendations, which relate to the subsequent care of curls.

• After dyeing, the hair should be washed with formulations specially designed for dyed hair shafts. The priority is shampoos, masks and balms, made specifically for the dark palette of colored curls.
• To keep the color saturated for as long as possible, you should protect your hair from direct sunlight. This applies to the use of hats, as well as the additional use of specialized products (sprays, balms) that protect the cuticle from the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation.
• Nourishing masks will help nourish your hair and give it shine. It is recommended to do them at least once a week. In order to prevent the coloring pigment from washing out ahead of time, formulations with coconut and linseed oils should be avoided.
• It is recommended to use heating devices for hot styling as little as possible, be it hair dryers, irons or curling irons. It is best to let the curls dry naturally.
• It is more correct to wash your hair with soft water, avoiding liquids with a high chlorine content.
