Mocha dyeing color: let's take a closer look at the shade
Soft and springy
With the arrival of warmer weather, clients want something fresh and warm in their hair. The change of season encourages you to try a different, fresher color. How about dyeing it mocha? It already sounds very warm and cozy. Let's get acquainted with the shade.
What color is this? Mocha is a soft yet deep dark brown shade. Visually, it may seem similar to coffee or chestnut, but it does not have a pronounced red or red undertone. Mocha-dyed hair shines with golden tints.
Mocha brown has a very rich medium to deep brown base that can always be made more voluminous with highlights and lighter undertones.
Like any other shade, mocha can be made either warm or cool.

How to choose?
The mocha chestnut undertone will suit clients with fair skin and cool eye color.
The golden mocha shimmer should be chosen by clients with fair skin and dark gray and bright blue eyes.
Dark chocolate is perfect for brunettes. This undertone has both a “bitter” and a “sweet” version.
This hair color will be a noticeable contrast with any skin and will make a striking accent on the color of a woman’s eyes.
Cold mocha can be either lighter or slightly darker. In bright light, cold mocha can reveal bluish, purple and even ashen tints. However, sparkling cold mocha will make the look more sophisticated.
Hazelnut mocha is reminiscent of a café au lait shade. The palette includes an original classic tone, rich hazelnut, catchy nutmeg, and a red-bronze undertone.
Light mocha is similar to ash, and is also close to the lightest light brown with a golden undertone or even blonde. Certain shades can look like noble gray hair.
Mocha color for brunettes is a win-win option for refreshing or changing your look. But you definitely need to opt for a rich, intense, perhaps monochromatic color.
What’s remarkable is that it suits different complexions.
If a blonde client decides to change her look towards mocha, then when choosing a shade, trust your eyes: if your eyes are blue/gray or dark, mocha is definitely the right option. If they are brown or green, it is better to pay attention to copper shades.
