Versatile and multifaceted, it is somewhat similar to chestnutbut has no reddish motives. It looks simple, but elegant, which is why modern beauties fell in love with it.
The immense popularity and demand for mocha among modern fashionistas is explained by a number of positive points:

He is not able to spoil the features of the face. Even the most ordinary person of the Slavic type will give a rich tone to aristocracy and charm.
Advice!This is a good offer for girls for whom a classic brunette is categorically not suitable.
Features of existing halftones
The tint palette of the main character of our article can be conditionally divided into two categories:
- by the degree of saturation (light and dark variations);
- by temperature perception (cold and warm undertones).
Light is a mixture of coffee with cream or milk. It will favorably emphasize the beauty of women whose skin has a porcelain or pinkish tint, and the iris of the eyes has a dull (hazel, blue or grayish) color.
Advice!It is not at all necessary to completely paint, you have the right to prefer the popular techniques of dyeing with ombre, balayazh or shatush, transverse or zonal coloring, which will advantageously transform the look and give freshness to the hairstyle.
Well, dark ones are all those options that are close to chocolate. This choice should be made by girls whose skin is peach or beige, green, brown or amber eyes. A rich tone is suitable for moderately dark fashionistas, but if the skin has acquired an intense tan, it is better to refuse such a shade, since the hairstyle will merge with the face and the appearance will lose its expressiveness.
If we talk about the second category, everything is much simpler here. The warm range includes all samples in which there are hints of a golden yellowish glow. They are suitable exclusively for representatives of the autumn and spring color type. And in the cold, there is absolutely no yellowish undertone, such proposals appeal to summer and winter women of fashion.
Shades of coloring agents and recommendations for selection
As mentioned above, many varieties of mocha-colored paints are available for sale, they are produced under the following names:
- chocolate;
- golden;
- with milk;
- coffee glaze;
- frosty;
- espresso.
Beauties with a porcelain or white-pink tint of the skin do not need to be dyed in excessively dark colors. There is a risk of adding pallor to the face and losing the prettiness of the image. The best solution would be milk and coffee variations that will preserve tenderness in appearance. In some cases, white-skinned girls will be decorated with classics and options with a golden echo.
For dark-skinned girls, stylists recommend stopping at mid-tones of medium saturation. Blue-eyed and gray-eyed beauties should look in the direction of frosty mocha, hot chocolate, coffee glaze - these proposals will allow playing the contrast between dark strands and clear eyes.
Interesting!Not so long ago, beauty brands decided to diversify the classic mocha by developing some variations of it. So the “frosty” tone turned out to be concentrated, with a deep cool glow. Golden is warm, soft and inviting. "Coffee with milk" - neutral, suitable for any color type.
What paint is best for applying and holding after staining?
Given the increased demand for the shade, many brands have included it in their products.
Products with high resistance include the development of the following brands:
- L'Oreal;

The Loreal company in the Excell series offers paint under the number 6.8 "Dark blonde Mokka". The ultra-modern formula allows you to maintain the original result for up to eight weeks without losing the brightness and saturation of the pigment. Despite the fact that the proposals of the beauty brand are used mainly in salons, home use is also possible.
Schwarzkopf in its Perfect Mousse collection has developed a mousse paint with an elegant frosty undertones under the number 536. The composition gently lightens the hair, giving it the chosen color. The foamy mousse spreads easily and evenly over the curls without spreading.

Advice!Which manufacturer to give preference to is up to you. All proposed options differ in both composition and price. Your choice should depend on the initial condition of the curls, the presence of gray hair and the degree of damage. If possible, consult with a colorist regarding the selection of the coloring material.
We dye strands at home
Unlike complex painting techniques, you can paint your hair in a single tone yourself. It is important to choose a quality dye of the desired shade. After that, little remains to be done. Following the recommendations below, the whole painting process will not take much time and effort:
- mix the components according to the enclosed instructions in a non-metallic container to avoid unwanted chemical reactions. Do this as quickly as possible, otherwise the product will begin to change its color;
- distribute the pigment along the entire length of the strand, or apply to individual curls or their ends to achieve an effect balayage... The hero of this review is perfect for use in modern coloring techniques;
- after complete coverage with the solution, comb the curls with a comb with rare teeth;
- keep the allotted time specified in the instructions. Do not overexpose the composition, ostensibly to achieve greater saturation. So you will only harm your hair, but you will not achieve the desired result;
- Finally, wash your hair and use a nourishing mask.
Advice! In the process of independent hairdressing, the ingress of pigment on the skin cannot be avoided. To make such places easier to wash later, lubricate the skin near the hair growth with a fat cream or petroleum jelly.
Care for colored curls, toning balms to maintain color
So that your transformation efforts are not in vain, use toning shampoo at least once every two weeks. These beauty products will help protect the color of the strands from burning out in the sun, from washing out, and they are also able to slightly correct the color due to not quite well-chosen shade.
Don't forget about balms and nourishing masks... Avoid overusing hair dryers, curling irons, flattening irons and styling products. So the cosms will retain their shine for a long time and will delight the eye with unprecedented health and sensual, rich tone.
Among shampoos-toners, we suggest taking a closer look at the following proposals:
- tint balm Tonic 5.43 - "Natural mocha". After applying this product, the strands become soft and smooth to the touch. The result depends entirely on the aging time of the toner on the curls. So to revive the painting and give the curls a light coffee glow, five minutes are enough. For more intense results, wait half an hour;
- toning shampoo with the effect of Aqua-lamination Tonic 3in1 No. 4.4 - "Passionate mocha". The formula of the product is based on natural ingredients and a combination of amino acids, including wheat germ extract. This suggests that products of this kind are the safest for transforming hairstyles. Tonic 4.4 on light blond strands gives a rich, deep color, albeit with a slight reddish tint. Of the unpleasant moments, it is worth noting the staining of the skin and the unpleasant itching that occurs 2-3 days after the procedure;
- shampoo-toner Rocolor No. 4.4.This proposal has a visible advantage: it does not stain the scalp, does not cause itching or burning sensation. Gives an unprecedented shine and shine, but washes out after 4–5 washes.
Rinse off the tint preparations should be clean, warm water without the use of shampoo. To fix the pigment, you can rinse your hair with water and juice from half a lemon.
Advice! Toning beauty products are not persistent dyes, but nevertheless, the result sometimes turns out to be unexpected, which you want to get rid of as soon as possible. In order not to run to the salon and not be exposed to a chemical dye, the company has developed a remover called "Retonica". It will help to quickly wash out an unpleasant shade.
Such beauty offers can color not only the skin, but also the bath. And if the cream and make-up remover helps to cope with the first problem, then the second is a little more complicated. During the painting process, fill the tub 1/3 full with water and two caps of whiteness. Just never immerse yourself in this liquid. After rinsing the curls, drain it, and rinse the remaining streaks with any bleaching-type sink cleaner.
