Chestnut hair color is a wide variety of shades for dyeing: light, nutty, caramel, rich chocolate. In addition, curls can shimmer with reddish tones: from crimson to reddish.

Change options

At the moment, when choosing a chestnut shade for hair coloring, stylists offer tinting in two tones: the roots are darker, the tips are lighter. This method of coloring curls is called ombre, and the effect after it is compared with strands burnt out in the sun.

A high-level hairdresser can achieve such a result that a smooth transition of different colors will be completely invisible. Ombre involves lightening the tips of the curls by 8 shades, in the middle 4. This hair color looks especially good when curling curls.

Bronding is also of interest - complex hair dyeing with chestnut shades in two colors, as shown in the photo below. Light and dark tones are selected in the main, between which smooth overflows are made. The main advantage of such toning is that it is quite possible to choose gentle colors without spoiling the structure of the curls.

To each his own

You can choose your shade of chocolate color, focusing on the features of appearance - the color type.

Brown eyes and light skin mean you are a winter girl. It is worth picking up dark coffee shades, as well as grayish tones. If you opt for warm caramel colors, you can make a big mistake, since pale skin implies a contrast with curls.
Blue eyes, tanned skin are characteristic of the summer color type. The choice falls on light chocolate shades that give off a little red tint: dark cherry color, rich chocolate with caramel toning.
If the girl is a classic blonde with bright blue or gray-blue eyes, then this means a spring color type. Feel free to experiment with golden, caramel, ash-blond shades of brown. As a result of painting, you will get a nice contrast of light skin with hazel, not too dark, brown hair.
The autumn girl has green or brown eyes and dark skin. Very dark or too light shades for this color type are not unequivocally suitable, since the choice should be stopped somewhere in the middle.

I also advise you to look at and.

Reddish, golden or slightly reddish chestnut hair color will be the best option for dyeing. Green-eyed beauties should opt for such a technique for painting curls as coloring. It implies the color of the hair in several tones (at least 3) and will harmoniously contrast with dark skin and a bright look.

Do it yourself

If you have opted for a complex hair dyeing technique, then it is better to contact a specialized master who has been practicing in such a business for more than a year. But if you still decide to do it yourself, then we suggest that you use the instructions for painting the ombre technique, which we talked about above.

Initially, decide whether you have all the necessary materials for coloring: several shades of paint, rubber gloves, aluminum foil, rubber bands. You will also need a specialized brush to evenly apply the dye to the curls, but most often it comes with the paint package.

Well, if all the necessary preparations are made, proceeds to complex toning:

Wet the curls and distribute them into two even halves.
Make 2 ponytails on each side.
Color the end of each homemade hairstyle with light paint and wrap in foil.
After waiting for half an hour, remove the aluminum film and wash off the remaining dye.
Apply the dye 3-5 centimeters above the previously painted area and rinse your head after ten minutes. Note that you won't need the foil this time.
It remains to paint the roots of the curls with a darker shade, wait after that for 10 minutes and rinse the hair.

If you followed the instructions correctly, smeared your hair with a balm after dyeing, then using a hair dryer you will get a smooth transition of several tones: chestnut roots and light tips.

Natural bases

It's no secret that any hair dye sold in a store or beauty salon leaves an indelible mark on the hair structure. This is not about the stunning result of the transformation, but about the thinning of the curls. To avoid the need to buy expensive restorative shampoos, you can use the methods of dyeing your hair chestnut color using folk remedies. Hair coloring in chestnut color can be done with henna, getting a reddish color, and for a more natural effect, it is better to complement the coloring with basma.

Both of these dyes are made on the basis of natural plant ingredients. In the case of henna, this is Lawsonia inermis (lawsonia), basma - Indigofera tinctoria (indigo). Using the difference in the ratios of both of these dyes when dyeing hair, you can achieve both a dark shade and a light chestnut color. Remarkably, natural ingredients contribute not only to obtaining a rich chestnut color of different palettes, but also to a more lasting effect than artificial dyes, which is especially appreciated for dyeing gray hair with henna and basma.

If you still opted for henna, then you should buy a special powder for painting and dilute it in accordance with the instructions on the package. Pay special attention to the fact that the longer you keep the coloring composition on your head, the redder and richer the shade you will get. And also do not forget that you can get a more natural lighter tone when dyeing your hair by mixing henna with basma, as often the reviews of girls on the Internet are full of negativity due to the wrong chestnut color when painting.

Aiming at lightening chestnut hair color in two tones, dye only with basma, ignoring henna.
Looking at the photo of brown hair before and after painting in different colors and shades, the question immediately arises. What if I can’t do it myself, it’s impossible to choose a proven beauty salon. For you, we have selected several specialized hairdressers that will not disappoint your exquisite taste.

Perhaps you should.

I have already written several times that I want to return my natural hair color. Growing them would be a bad option, because. I dyed dark chocolate (but the color was almost black) and regrown hair would look like a bald patch. I started to dye my hair a long time ago, from the age of 12, I dyed it blond. At the age of 15, I decided to dye it in a color close to natural and for some reason took a dark chestnut “rowan” ... How stupid I was at that moment ... And so I was a dark chestnut (mocha, dark chocolate) for 6 years ... I read reviews, watched enough videos and decided something had to be done. I ordered a wash of estel color off paint on the Internet - 2 packs, armed myself with everything necessary and began to wash it off. Even if you have medium length hair, the 1st pack is hardly enough.
Everything is described in the instructions, but there are some things that are not indicated there.

So the process is:

1. Preparation: I bought 6 caps at the pharmacy (one would be enough), 6 masks (I used everything), 3 pairs of gloves (not cellophane, ordinary sterile ones) and a disposable gown. Got dressed and got started. There was a little trouble with the gloves ... They seemed to pass the mixture through themselves and left white traces on the hands, as if from peroxide.

2. There are 3 chemical vials in the package. 1 - reducing agent, 2 - catalyst, 3 - neutralizer. You need to mix 1 and 2 jars in a 1: 1 ratio and quickly apply to the hair, because. the action of the wash is only 20 minutes. In one jar 120 ml. I broke it 4 times. Measured with a glass, the volume of which I do not know exactly. Equal portions came out, it turns out that I poured 30 ml from each jar. Tried to find a measuring cup, but failed.

IMPORTANT!!! If you dye your hair dark for a long time, you will accumulate a lot of pigment at the ends of your hair, much more than at the roots. Therefore, the first 3 times I applied the mixture to the tips (about 10-15 cm, and even despite this, the transition was noticeable). On the 4th time I applied to the full length, as well as the 5th and the final 6th. This was enough for me. After you have applied the mixture to your hair, you need to cover them with a hat (preferably a shower, of course), wrap them in a towel and warm them up with a hairdryer (at least 10 minutes each time). After 20 minutes, the mixture must be pulled off the hair with a dry paper towel. DO NOT WASH HAIR. Apply the mixture until you see a result that satisfies you. I have not washed for 5 times. After the fifth wash, I rinsed my hair with water WITHOUT shampoo. The result was not bad, but uneven in some places. And I “finished off” my hair for the 6th time. After that, I rinsed my hair again under warm water Without shampoo and applied a neutralizer to all hair (you need to apply it, despite the fact that many do not do this, because it completes the process that happens inside the hair, if this is not done, in the morning or after staining, you can get an unexpected result), held for 3-5 minutes and washed with NaturaSiberica deep cleansing shampoo. This is the only thing that I found in my city of deep cleaning (price 49 UAH) ... The scalp was well baked, but the shampoo seemed to go through the skin with frost, refreshed, cooled and everything went away). I dried it with a hair dryer and ran to the store for paint (you can dye your hair already 40 minutes after washing). I didn’t know what I would get from the wash. By this time it was already dark, and I was swept away with shame =) The paint should be taken 1-2 tones lighter than necessary. I bought Loreal Preference 10.1 "Light-light blonde ash brightening." I applied it 3 hours after washing. The paint, Mr., the balm is good (after the balm, the hair became soft, soft) Although everything is beautiful, neat, the balm and gloves are in very convenient packages, there is a large mixing bottle ... But, the paint stinks of ammonia worse than a cheap side dish, it bakes the scalp ... brr... I want a light brown or ash-blond color... Naturally, I won’t get it right away, and after dyeing I was ready for a dark color, still not so black =)... But the hair turned out to be dark blond - red, the roots are lighter... We need it was still to tint the hair or additionally treat it with bleaching powder. I'll have to touch up for a while ... Yes, and the paint will wash off a little. Or you can save up and do highlighting.

Now about the quality of the hair ... You know, some moments just struck me ... My hair is not so hot anyway (the ends are broken by 2-5 cm), you run the comb, and they fall like sand ... I expected my hair to deteriorate even more, but then what happened in the end, I had no idea ... Yes, the hair was dried along the entire length, but no more than from ordinary dyeing. The split ends of the hair GLUED !!! I was shocked... I pulled my hair at the ends, but there was nothing left in my hand, not a single hair... Whoa???!!! They are strong, very shiny, voluminous… I’m really SHOCKED… Dry, yes… but a week of masks, sprays and oils and the hair will become even better by several steps than it was… I don’t know… Oh yes, one more minus… The scalp is slightly irritated… if you pull your hair - quite unpleasant. But, I have oils, blends, so..)

Disadvantages of washing: 1. no gloves; 2. the most terrible smell ... sharp and unpleasant to disgrace. the first hour and a half can be endured and even without disgust, but after two hours the smell simply begins to irritate and can be heard everywhere! even outdoors. penetrates to the very brain. the aroma is a mixture of hydrogen sulfide and rotten eggs. But if your windows open for 1 hour and there is no smell =) you can endure it, but it's unpleasant. and a towel before washing is better to air on the balcony until it dries or the smell disappears. the abomination of the smell is 7 out of 10. But if you manage quickly, then it’s not really for you and will cause discomfort. And about the smell on the hair. This muck lasts for a long time, 2-3 weeks. And if the hair gets wet (shower, rain, fog ..), the aroma becomes much more contrasting and this can cause discomfort to people around you, and to you too. As soon as you color your hair, it immediately disappears.

Well, actually a photo =)

You turn and your hair bursts into flames. Nobody can take their eyes off you. Wouldn't you like that? The funny thing is that the only thing you need for this effect is to paint in a red shade. It's gorgeous and has lots of undertones. Women who choose this color look mysterious and desirable. And you can do it too! Below are twenty options for images with shades of red - from mature and soft to completely crazy and leave no one indifferent!

P.S. You can achieve any of the results listed below, not only in the salon, but also at home.

Pink gold

Chestnut color is already associated with the classics, while rose gold is the trend of the current year. Combine these two shades for a unique and trendy look. The bob hairstyle and twisted curls will especially emphasize the color.

red reflections

If dyeing your hair all red is too bright for you, too new, too unsuitable - in general, too much, perhaps a little “kiss of the sun” will suit you. Accentuate your dark chestnut curls with red highlights that create an unusual contrast. This combination of shades especially comes to life in braids and other hairstyles based on weaving.

molten gold

When it comes to coloration, the softer the transition, the better. This option is completely built on this principle. At the roots - chestnut with a red tint, at the ends - a golden blond, and most importantly - no sharp ombre, only a soft plexus of shades. Curls are like molten gold, with only one "but" - it does not burn, but warms like the sun.

multidimensional balayage

Why settle for just one shade of red when you can use several at once? If you are of the same opinion, you are right. Fashionable coloring - balayage - can be multidimensional, and in order to emphasize chestnut hair, choose both red and brown and purple tones. The image will look very fresh, but not too bright - the perfect balance.

Burning shade

Give a little spice to your boring brown hair color. A pinch of hot pepper has never interfered with a dish. Such a seemingly insignificant coloration, like toning some curls into darker tones, will not go unnoticed - most of those around you will not be able to say what exactly has changed, but will continue to wonder why you began to look many times more spectacular if, it seems, nothing changed?

reddish brown

You know how they say "all or nothing", right? Rest assured, you will get everything with this new hair color. Color your locks in rich shades of reddish chestnut, cut them to a moderate shoulder length and style them in elegant waves. You will see how you transform with this new style.

Exciting redhead

Do you know which supervillain had the best hair? Poison Ivy from the DC Comics Universe. With bright red hair and a neon green suit, it was impossible not to notice her. Choose the same memorable bright shade of chestnut - red, red or burgundy - and be sure no matter what room you enter, everyone's eyes will be turned only on you.

emerald curls

Unleash your inner punk rock princess and give your look a little crazy twist. If you choose a bold color, what will be better than the shade of gems? Bright chestnut - as a base, brilliant emerald - for individual curls, as highlights. Amazing colorful look!

apricot red

If you don’t want bold and non-standard solutions yet, you tend to be natural, but don’t mind updating a little, pay attention to this coloring option. A slightly muted apricot shade looks warm in autumn and seems to envelop in an atmosphere of mystery and mystery. This color is especially suitable for the types "autumn" and "spring".

Atlas

Did you know that coloring can simulate texture? Pink tips with copper curls on dark brown hair look not just beautiful - they imitate the glossy surface of satin fabric. Not a bad way to always look like you just stepped out of a beauty salon, right?

copper shade

Metallic shades are the trend of 2017. And not only in clothes, shoes and accessories, but also in hairstyles. And there is a reason for this - shine gives the most ordinary bow unusualness. As an option for the experiment - a copper shade of chestnut hair. This color looks especially beautiful on wavy curls - from soft waves to famously twisted curls.

Multicolor sorbet

Sometimes you need to go beyond the usual and traditional. Sometimes you need to let go of all the inhibitions and go crazy. This look is perfect for going crazy in style. The interweaving of purple, purple and peach shades in one hairstyle cannot be called otherwise than a work of art.

Deep berry chestnut

In makeup, clothes or hair, deep berry shades always look advantageous, on any color type. Dark crimson paired with chestnut is perfect for someone who wants to stand out and move away from the image of the "gray mouse", without falling into a frenzy. In addition, this is such a dark shade that after painting you can not make an appointment with the master for a long time to put the image in order.

spicy redhead

What could be better than a shade of red? Two shades of red! Don't limit yourself to one chestnut color, complement it with red colors to make the image look brighter and younger. This combination of colors looks very sunny and sexy, and is best on waist-length curly hair.

"Dusty" balayage

There is an optimal balance between grace and chic. And it is achieved through balayage, which can be not only bright and extraordinary, but also subdued and elegant. Use shades such as dusty brown and light red for this. Best of all, this coloring will look on a long bob haircut or asymmetrical bob.

reverse ombre

Going from light to dark, and not vice versa, is a very difficult task, because the coloring must be done in such a way that it does not look like overgrown roots. But if you paint with a good master, an incredibly stylish look is provided to you. A pleasant light shade turns into a burning dark at the ends. A little glare is placed along the entire length of the curls.

strawberry red

Looking for something elegant to look like a boutique owner or celebrity stylist? Well, then this strawberry shade is for you. In combination with a chestnut base, it looks very expensive, and looks especially impressive on a bob hairstyle.

Muted tone

Just because we're looking at shades of red doesn't mean all looks have to be super-bright. There are plenty of softer and more mature options to choose from. A good example is dark chestnut with dark gray and brown undertones.

fiery color

It is very possible to be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix. This is an option for those who have a very gray natural shade of hair. And there's no better color than fiery chestnut to brighten it up and your look! It looks as if it will flare up from the mere touch of a sunbeam.

Shade of champagne

Light chestnut paint allows you to express all the girlish love for champagne in one hairstyle. Styling on one side with a clear parting perfectly emphasizes this hair color.

Which of the options did you like the most?

Have you dyed your hair black, but the result was not what you expected? Or have you been a brunette for a while and now want to dye your hair brown? Unfortunately, you can't just dye your hair back to chestnut from black without first bleaching or lightening your hair. After clarification, you can choose the desired shade of brown. Whether you dyed your hair black recently or it has been your color for a long time, there are several ways to go from black to brown.

Steps

Removing paint with shampoos

Choose the right products. There are 2 types of shampoos that can remove color from hair. Clarifying shampoo is rich in ingredients that help remove color, while anti-dandruff shampoo can bleach hair. These shampoos will help you remove color and restore your hair to its original color. You can also buy a conditioner that is not suitable for color-treated hair. It will not only protect them from damage, but also help remove paint.

Apply shampoo to your hair. Sit in the bathroom and wrap a towel around your neck. Wet your hair with warm water to open up the hair follicles. Massage the shampoo onto your hair and rinse from head to ends. Make sure you shampoo all the way through to help wash out the color evenly. After lathering hair, remove excess foam.

Keep your hair warm. Now that you've shampooed, put on a shower cap or wrap your hair in a plastic bag. Using a hair dryer, heat your hair evenly. Make sure you don't melt the cap or bag material. After that, leave the shampoo on your hair for 15-20 minutes.

Rinse your hair and repeat. Rinse your hair thoroughly after 20 minutes. Apply an additional small amount of shampoo and rinse your hair again to remove any dye particles that have been loosened during the washing and heating process. This time there is no need to keep the shampoo on your hair and heat it up with a hair dryer.

Apply hair conditioner and dry your hair. Apply conditioner to hair from roots to ends. Take a hair dryer and heat your hair to its full length again. Leave the conditioner on your hair for 25-30 minutes. Then rinse your hair with cold water.

Repeat. After the first procedure, your hair should become visually lighter and there should be less black paint. You can even see that your hair takes on a natural color, such as it was before dyeing. It is unlikely that the black color will completely wash out after one procedure, so you need to repeat the process. Once your hair is light enough, you can start dyeing it brown.

Wait. If none of these methods worked for you or you didn’t like it, you can always wait until the paint is washed off by itself. This process can take a long time, but it is one of the most efficient. You can always continue to shampoo your hair with a shampoo that is not meant for color-treated hair so that the color will wash out faster. After enough dye has washed off, you can dye your hair any shade of brown you want.

Women love to change their appearance often, experiment with make-up, style and hairstyles. Therefore, every season they are interested in what color to dye their hair in order to look fashionable and extraordinary, to emphasize natural beauty, to stand out from others. Deciding on the right tone is not always an easy task, because you need to choose a shade that perfectly matches the eyes and skin, the density and structure of the strands.

How to paint over red hair: smart solutions for a modern lady

A true find for stylish young ladies is the perfect hair color. However, fashion and mood sometimes require a change. Some shades easily allow themselves to be changed, repainting others can lead to unexpected consequences.

Ginger: dangerous experiments

Reddish tones are especially cunning and unpredictable. When repainting from a natural or acquired red hue, girls often face numerous difficulties. In order for the new color to turn out beautiful and deep, you need to correctly approach the process of its implementation.

The manifestation of a copper tint - causes

Redness can be intentionally or accidentally acquired. In both cases, these shades are very difficult to reduce and are fraught with considerable problems. But if the first option involves purposefully obtaining a spectacular color, how can it appear randomly?

The unexpected appearance of a copper tone can provoke:

discoloration or washing;
wrong coloring.

These actions interfere with the structure of the hairs, which consists of two types of melanins:

pheo-melanin;
eu melanin.

It depends on them whether a redhead will appear after washing or discoloration and how bright it will be.

These natural melanins have a different reaction to the action of an oxidizing agent used in all lightening procedures. Dark molecules are completely destroyed and disappear. Pheo-melanins are more resistant: they endure the effects of an oxidizing agent and are activated, giving the hair a copper undertone.

Attention: danger of overpainting

The severity of the manifestation of the activity of pheomelanin molecules depends on the initial shade and the chosen new one. Unpleasant redness almost always accompanies the lightening process.

And for this, you don’t have to want to turn into a blonde at all: surprise in the range from copper to orange can lie in wait with more gentle tones.

For example, bright "dirt" will appear when repainting:

dark strands in chestnut or light brown;
dark chestnut to light brown;
dark blond to light blond.

Naturally, if your original color is in the red-red range, any lightening will also bring an unpleasant undertone. Therefore, when studying what color you can dye red hair with your own hands, pay attention exclusively to dark shades. They will enhance the effect of eu-melanins, which will hide unwanted brightness.

For example, a spectacular and stylish result will be obtained when using

chestnut;
the Red tree;
red-brown and identical shades.

Thinking about what color to paint over the red hair color quickly and without consequences, feel free to resort to the listed tones.

How to neutralize red hair

Girls who are looking for options on how to dye their hair from red to blond will have to face much greater difficulties.

Typically, there are two options here:

full clarification / washing of hair;
using the "correct" paint.

Note! It is better to entrust the complete disposal of redheads to a professional. Some curls contain such a large amount of pheo-melanins that they can be destroyed for a long time only by strong repeated clarification.

Lightening

By the process of lightening, experts mean the bleaching of the hair - the etching of all existing pigmented molecules. Sometimes this process can drag on for a long time: some pheo-melanins are very hard to break down.

Strong one-time lightening is a way to seriously ruin curls. Therefore, many professionals offer girls a gradual repainting.

Most often it is carried out in several stages of highlighting. This method has both pros and cons.

Thinking about what color you can paint over red hair, pay attention to highlighting. It will soften the existing shade, partially remove the annoying brightness.

Interesting alternatives could be

coloring (used from 3 new tones);
booking.

If you want to get rid of the red tone in one go, you will have to resort to a wash. For its implementation, means of increased aggressiveness are used, which are capable of qualitatively destroying unpleasant molecules. Your curls will become literally “colorless”, or rather, almost white.

However, here, too, a failure can occur, due to which the hair will become, although not red, but a little yellow. Therefore, after washing, the masters recommend resorting to additional toning. It will get rid of the undertone and even out the color.

The best choice will be

purple;
blue;
ashy tonics.

I have a question for those who often change their hair color! Is it possible to dye your hair from chestnut to blonde?

Of course you can, first you need to be patient so as not to spoil your hair with washes, you need to gradually apply steam and for a while, then look again, and then dye it in any tone (it all depends on the condition of the hair)

lady flame

probably with difficulty .. I've already tried .. I now have yellow at the top, and then red .. and I don’t know how to proceed. But in general, there are washes that do not spoil the hair so much. . And preferably in a hairdresser to do

Olga

Style-image maker: difficult, but possible. If painted once - even more so. There are drugs such as "old paint remover". They work ONLY with dye molecules, without affecting the hair. The most affordable is "OFF!", You can even use it at home several times in a row, why at home - the hair after it becomes absolutely wonderful, alive, even customers are surprised - better than it was just dyed. BUT: the color of the hair itself brightens, and it is impossible to say whether it will wash out at once. It takes at least three hours to use wash after wash to wash out the tone. And yet - it is impossible to paint immediately after washing, only after 2 days. The color becomes very dark (even blond, and light brown will generally become chocolate). This is the weakly active ingredients of the wash. It's written in the instructions for it. Therefore, it is better to guess for the weekend - wash it off on Friday, paint it in the desired color on Sunday. But highlighting can be done immediately, and nothing will happen. This wash is produced by Estel, St. Petersburg-Italy. I recently answered this question, look among my answers in the Personal Account. Good luck!

Of course I can speak as a stylist! even in black! but it is better to do it gradually so that at least something is left of the hair! It is better to do this by means of highlighting! and if you want it right away, then washing is a more gentle option! but it's better to wash off the tone 2-3 first and make the color. and then after a while for another 2 tones! and buy the appropriate care! e.g. Kerastase
