Dark chestnut is a complex tone based on a combination of black, brown and copper pigments with a lot of cold mother-of-pearl. Hair color, as in the photo, looks natural and suits any skin tone of a person. Thanks to warm overflows, it gives volume to even thin strands, making them more expressive and thicker.

Chestnut color looks more natural and refreshing, unlike red, copper and cherry shades.

But it also has some drawbacks:

• the “dark chestnut” tone is not suitable if the skin has a painful yellowish or grayish tint;
• he will make blondes visually older;
• not all colors of this tone successfully paint over gray hair;
• he can make a thin face visually narrower;
• very dark tones can make the complexion look tired and pale;

How to achieve cold dark chocolate when coloring:

Coloring in a variety of light brown, chocolate and brown colors is always popular. Currently, all fashion stylists are betting in favor of the naturalness and naturalness of the shades on the hair. He also refers to such tones and symbolizes sophistication, nobility, balance and self-sufficiency. A considerable number of women who decide to change their appearance choose this shade. And for good reason, because it has many advantages.

Color Features

The change in hair color has a big role in the character, this has been repeatedly confirmed by scientists. So, it is believed that all shades of chestnut, from the lightest to the richest dark, carry harmony and tranquility. Since the tone is located in the middle of the shade scale, it suits many girls. Dark chestnut is the perfect option for those who want to go darker but don't dare to go for rich, dark nuances.

Despite the common stereotype that chestnut tone is a monotonous dark brown color, it is still worth noting that it is customary to attribute all nutty and honey nuances to it. No less diverse and dark chestnut shade. It includes all dark graphite, chocolate with copper tones. When choosing a nuance, always consider your skin tone, as it can make it look paler if it is naturally very light.

To whom to face

Now the dark chestnut color is relevant, it gives the curls a deep saturated shade. Thin hair looks very advantageous in this color, they visually appear thicker and shinier, healthy due to the fact that the color reflects light well. The chestnut tone suits absolutely all color types, that is, girls with both light and dark skin and different ones. But it looks most impressive on owners of green and brown eyes.

An exception may be natural blondes with very light skin color. Chestnut can age them and make the face tired. In general, warmer shades of this nuance will suit the “spring” and “autumn” color types. But "winter" and "summer" need to stick to cold shades. Dark brown hair sometimes emphasizes skin imperfections, this must also be taken into account when choosing a tone.

Black or dark chestnut?

Many girls are tempted to change dramatically by dyeing their hair black. Dark shades of curls are quite common, while we associate them with power and energy, especially black. However, when choosing between it and chestnut, weigh the pros and cons, since noble coffee and chocolate shades look more harmonious and impressive, especially on girls.

Dark chestnut color is perfect for women with brown eyes and dark skin, makes facial features softer. The black tone is more aggressive, it is the color of strength and protest, rebellion, so teenagers often choose it. In addition, the black tint is very problematic to wash off. If you want to dye your hair two or three shades lighter, to go from black to a noble chestnut tone, you will most likely have to cut your hair length significantly.

Coloring

If you decide to dye your chestnut tone, you can do this with one of three types of dyes. It all depends on the original color, the desired shade and the percentage of gray hair. Dark chestnut color paints well, however, if there are more than 80% of them, it is better to add a little natural tone, then the color will turn out to be more dense and saturated. For such hair, choose only persistent dye.

If your hair has not been dyed before, and you want to get a chocolate shade with a pleasant copper sheen, that is, chestnut, you can use a tinting dye.

And the last option is a tint rinse, it is suitable for those who decide to “try on” this tone. Such a tool spares the hair and does not prepare any surprises with unwanted shades, it is quickly washed off.

Booking

Today, coloring using the bronding technique on dark brown hair is especially popular. This concept means a smooth transition from dark to light. Many modern stars have given preference to this convenient and effective technique that does not require frequent staining and gives volume to curls. The bronzing procedure visually makes a woman younger, as a combination of contrasting colors will refresh the skin, creating gentle highlights.

Dark roots, growing back, are not conspicuous, and this is very convenient. The technique looks most expensive and beautiful when it is made in a chocolate tone or dark chestnut (the photo can be seen below). The only contraindication to this coloring can be severely damaged hair. If they have been clarified, have a porous structure, brittle and dry, and are also colored unevenly (for example, there are colored strands, coloring), the procedure will only worsen the condition of the hair and will not emphasize their beauty.

What dye to choose

Most modern palettes from well-known brands provide a good selection of warm or cool chestnut shades. When choosing a dye, it is important to evaluate not only your original tone, but also the palette. Moreover, the result depends not only on the quality of the dye, the prestige of the company, but also on the condition of your curls. The most popular permanent professional shade is one of the most popular, so manufacturers are trying to make the color more interesting and varied. An example of this is the Estel brand. The palette of dark chestnut nuances of this company includes: cognac, black pearl, mocha, hot chocolate. The company has been on the market for a long time and has gained a strong position, so you can safely choose paint from Estel.

Chestnut tone is a great option for those who want to update the color without drastic changes or just add an interesting shade, brightness to an existing color. You can't go wrong with chestnut! Be beautiful!

Rules for dyeing hair in chestnut color at home

Chestnut paint is not particularly demanding to use, but it still has a number of features:

• If the natural color of the strands is much darker than that chosen for dyeing, then you must first dry it, and only then take on the main painting.
• When dyeing hair from blond or light brown to chestnut, start by dyeing the roots.
• Prepare in advance, but shortly before the process, the ingredients that we mix in a glass or ceramic dish.
• Be sure to use gloves!
• We apply from the roots.
• Distribute evenly and leave on hair for thirty minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly with a shampoo suitable for color-treated hair.
• It is also advisable to choose a hair conditioner that comes with the mark "for dyed".

Care

• One of the ways to revive the color can be hair highlighting with copper or golden hues.
• It is recommended to use shampoos for colored hair.
• Apply tonal care products.
• Use products with UV protection to prevent quick burnout of the strands.
• If possible, do not use chlorinated water, which can affect the brightness of the shade.

Fight against the effect of light roots

It's a shame, but it is juicy chestnut shades that quickly fade in the sun. If your hair itself is close to chestnut color, then the overall look will not suffer quickly. If your natural color differs from the dyed one, then it is recommended to dye the roots in a more intense tone or simply start the staining process from the roots. If it is very important that the roots are not clearly lighter, then before staining, you can slightly wet the ends of the strands with water.

Brown hair color is always in fashion. Due to the fact that the dark tone is not universal, it can add extra years. How to understand even before staining whether the shade suits you, which paint is better, and how to save the result?

Dark chestnut hair color is similar to chocolate - the same natural and rich. But, unlike chocolate, it contains more golden-red pigment.

Due to the soft tints, the color looks “lighter”, it is not so contrasting and deep.

Who will suit dark chestnut color?

Characteristics and color features

Dark chestnut hides split ends. It also draws attention to the face. And either emphasizes its grooming, expressiveness, or exacerbates imperfections.

Age

As for age, there are no special restrictions. Ladies over 50 are happy to choose a natural color. The main thing is that it fits the type of appearance and is in harmony with the haircut.

Skin color, eyes

The ideal option is dark, olive skin, dark saturated (green, brown) irises. Light skin and dark eyes also go well with chestnut.

Structure, color of strands

What to look for when choosing a tone:

• Structure of curls
  Dark chestnut looks most advantageous on thin hair. A rich shade with golden-red highlights visually adds volume, gives a healthy look to the curls. If the strands are dense, but even - the color is also suitable.
• Natural curl color
  If your strands are naturally dark, then it is recommended to pre-lighten or highlight the hair. In the process of movement, due to the mixing of lighter and darker strands, the final color will turn out to be deeper, more interesting.

face shape

Dark, especially long straight hair visually stretches the face. This feature will play into the hands of chubby beauties. Owners of an elongated face shape are better off choosing a different look.

Who should not choose a dark chestnut color

In addition to the above (obvious wrinkles, skin defects, elongated face shape), the color is not recommended:

• Girls with light eyebrows and eyelashes
  They will have to be tinted very often.
• fiery red beauties
  In this case, it is better to choose a tone with a greater saturation of red overflows - copper, etc.

Original methods of staining in dark chestnut colors

Ombre coloring

Ombre means shading. In the ombre, the colored curls are arranged randomly. Dark chestnut ombre can be shaded by any, including rich and bright colors. So many types of this technique appeared:

• ombre into three stripes (the length of the hair is visually divided into three parts);
• classical;
• tongues of flame;
• color;
• with a clear border;
• reverse;
• monochrome, pl. others

A variety of performance techniques in combination with different tones makes it possible to create any image - from elegant to mega-extravagant.

Ombre is ideal for dark hair, because it does not require regular tinting of the roots. You can constantly change your hairstyle beyond recognition only thanks to new color accents at the ends of the curls.

As for the structure, it is not important. If the strands are thick, the ombre will give them lightness and movement. If thin, it will even out the volume to the norm. Curls look more advantageous, they seem to get a “deep glow”.

Growing fashion for armor

The word "bronding" is formed from two others: brown (brown, chestnut) and blond (blond). Bronding implies an extremely soft, smooth transition from the dark mass of natural hair to the light middle, tips.

This approach allows you to get a three-dimensional effect and a strong visual increase in volume. At home, booking is not possible. Even in a salon, the work lasts more than one hour.

To perform the technique, the strands are first clarified. Then the master proceeds to multi-stage staining. Usually several shades adjacent in tonality are used. Coloring starts from the middle of the curls.

Unlike coloring, only natural shades are used here. The result is a luxurious natural gradient. Bronding looks especially advantageous on long cascading haircuts.

Other color options

It is not necessary to paint the entire mop entirely. You can select individual strands. In addition to ombre and bronding, there are a lot of techniques that allow you to do this:

• Coloring
  Using several shades at once. They can be bright, extraordinary (blue, red, yellow, purple, burgundy). Or, on the contrary, as natural as possible (walnut, caramel, chocolate). In the first case, you will attract attention to yourself with the audacity of the image. In the second - the depth and luxury of hair color.
• Balayazh
  Balayazh on dark brown hair can simply mimic light highlights or have a brighter effect with smooth transitions to light.
• highlighting
  You can lighten dark chestnut curls with golden highlights. Another popular transition option is deep burgundy or black. Keep in mind that black-chestnut will especially emphasize skin imperfections.

What paint to choose?

On the cosmetics market, there are dark chestnut hair dyes from different companies. It is worth considering that the same color may differ from brand to brand.

And the result rarely completely coincides with the sample indicated on the package. Because your hair and the model's hair have a different structure.

How to choose the right tone?

Shades of dark chestnut in different brands can be hidden under the following names:

• dark chocolate;
• dark brown;
• bitter chocolate;
• golden brunette.

When used on exactly the same base, these tones are different. But, as already mentioned, the structure of the strands, the susceptibility of the body is different for everyone. Therefore, you can get the desired shade by experimenting with the colors of such names.

If you prefer natural dyes, use basma and henna. By changing the proportions of the powders, you can get completely different shades. Such coloring does not destroy the structure of the hair, on the contrary, it strengthens them.

If you decide to stain with basma and henna, remember that it is quite difficult to wash off the pigment. And there will be a temporary taboo for staining with permanent paints (until you wash off the color).

Features of staining in dark chestnut color

Common staining mistakes

Most home staining errors occur due to neglect of the rules of procedure. When the girls

• They forget to do an allergy test, a test for the result (preliminary coloring of a thin strand in the thick of hair).
• They rely on their experience, do not read the instructions (and each manufacturer has its own requirements for the process).
• They keep the composition longer in the hope of darkening the curls more. But this does not give the expected effect, instead the hair deteriorates.
• Initially, the tone is incorrectly selected (far from its natural).
• Do not prepare the hair (for example, apply paint on the day of shampooing).
• Do not pre-wash the old color (in some cases this is necessary).
• Strands treated with henna or basma are dyed, as a result they “come out” in green.
• Use cheap ingredients.

All these typical mistakes lead to the fact that the color is unexpected, and the strands quickly deteriorate. An allergic reaction may occur, up to severe brittleness and hair loss.

Natural coloring with henna and basma

To protect themselves from the aggressive effects of industrial dyes, some women use basma and henna. To obtain a dark chestnut tone, 2 parts of basma are taken for 1 part of henna.

Powders are poured into a non-metallic container, poured with hot water, stirred until a homogeneous slurry is formed, similar to thick sour cream. Staining time - 1.5 hours.

But even here there are nuances. The result is affected by:

• Base hair color.
• Hair structure: thickness, degree of dryness, density, stiffness, etc. (thin, soft, dry, bleached, chemically curled strands are colored faster than dense, hard ones).

• The temperature of the water in which the composition is prepared.
• The temperature of the coloring composition during application (the colder it is, the slower it colors).
• The time of exposure to the strands. The longer the composition is on the hair, the stronger they are stained (within the time specified by the manufacturer).
• The proportion of powders - it also greatly affects the result.

In a word, there are a lot of nuances, you will have to experiment. Usually the first time the desired color is difficult to achieve. But if the result does not suit you, you can weaken the tone with masks with olive oil.

Apply oil to dirty dry hair, hold for 20-30 minutes, rinse with warm water and shampoo. Carry out the procedure until you get the result.

The most popular brands of dark chestnut paints

Choose professional compositions. They go without impurities of unwanted tones:

  Russian made product. It has a gentle effect, resistance - up to 8 weeks. Of the relatively inexpensive colors, the Palette brand (N2 Dark chestnut) is popular. Reviews about the composition are contradictory. Hair really gets rich color and shine. But there is evidence of a strong smell of the mixture, as well as that the shade does not match the one stated on the package. There is no balm included.

Danger of ultraviolet rays

Long-term exposure to the sun dries out and weakens the hair structure. As a result, problems such as cuts and hair loss appear. Also, the scorching sun disrupts the blood supply to the roots.

Interestingly, the time of safe holding in ultraviolet rays depends on the color of the hair:

• blondes, redheads can safely enjoy the sun for no more than 7 minutes;
• brunettes - up to 10 minutes;
• brown-haired women - up to 18 minutes.

In general, to protect your hair from fading:

• wear a hat in hot weather, especially on the beach;
• use industrial sunscreen cosmetics (mousses, sprays, shampoos, etc.) or home remedies (almond, olive oil);
• periodically sprinkle strands with mineral water.

Avoid chlorinated water

According to statistics, 9 out of 10 residents of megacities have problems with hair or scalp. This is often caused by chlorinated water. So, when washing, the strands are exposed to a mixture of perchloric acid, calcium, magnesium, etc.

These chemicals envelop each hair with the thinnest film, which deprives the hair of flexibility and plasticity. No expensive shampoos and masks will help here.

Cosmetologists recommend washing your hair with boiled or settled water.(In 6-8 hours, most harmful chemicals disappear. If there is no time to wait, add a few drops of lemon juice, ammonia, or 1 teaspoon of glycerin to the water.

Dry hair problem

Common causes of overdrying of curls are improper care, insufficient protection, and a strict diet. But most of all, the hair deteriorates from chemical exposure(coloring, waving, lightening, etc.).

To restore health and strength to the strands, it is recommended to do oil masks 2 times a week at home. Massage the scalp for 15-20 minutes, then distribute a few drops of oil along the length of the strands, soak under a warming cap for 15 minutes.

To restore the strands, you can contact the salon. So the recovery process will be faster. You may be offered:

• lamination
  A composition of wheat, soy proteins and biologically active substances is applied to the strands. After 20-30 minutes, the mixture is washed off, and the thinnest protective film remains on the hair. Strands acquire a healthy look, shine.
• elution
  Gives the same effect as lamination. At the same time, it tones the strands, gives them a rich shine. The essence of elution is staining without the use of hydrogen peroxide. Thanks to the therapeutic components included in the composition, the curls are not damaged, but restored. The procedure is expensive.
• Cauterization
  A multi-stage procedure consists in processing the strands with a special tool. It happens hot or cold. The first is shown for very bad hair. It eliminates split ends, delamination, thinning. The cold method gives less effect. Recommended to maintain a well-groomed look to normal hair.

Dark chestnut hair color is dynamic, rich, but without proper care, it is quickly washed off and fades. If you are ready to maintain the shade that suits you, feel free to go for a new look to your master.
