If you’re constantly craving sweets, you probably get just as excited as us when your favorite treats inspire hair color trends. Between Snickers shake hair, iced caramel latte, and chilli chocolate, we’re constantly inspired by hues named after our favorite desserts and sugary beverages.
If you’re looking for a dessert-inspired shade to try for spring, a new brunette hair color trend is making the rounds on social media: dark chocolate hair. The glossy and dimensional hue is taking warm blonde’s place as the most desired spring hair color for 2019.
Interested in dark chocolate hair? Ryan Pearl, Redken brand ambassador, breaks down everything you need to know to make the dark brown hair color yours.
Dark chocolate hair looks best when it has some serious shine, so Pearl recommends asking your colorist for an in-salon gloss service.
“One of my favorite ways to get a richer tone on a client in the salon is with a Redken SEQ Gloss which gives you rich shine and reflection,” Pearl says.
“Someone with lighter hair that’s looking to deepen multiple levels will have more upkeep than someone with darker hair to start,” Pearl says.
No matter which dark chocolate look you choose, Pearls always recommends the Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo and Conditioner to keep your rich color from fading prematurely between salon appointments.
To maintain the shine of your freshly colored mane, we recommend a hair oil like the Redken Glow Dry Style Enhancing Blow-Dry Hair Oil. This protective blow dry hair oil provides hair shine, smoothness, and manageability, and can be used as a hair shine treatment.

What is dark chocolate hair?
As spring flowers begin to bloom, many people rush to the salon to brighten their strands in anticipation of warmer weather. This spring, however, some are opting for deep, low maintenance brunette hues like dark chocolate hair. Like its delectable namesake, dark chocolate hair is a rich, reflective deep brown shade.As clients’ skin tones begin to brighten up in the spring and summer, the deep chocolate hair complements tan skin for a healthy glow in a different way versus the lightening we’re used to seeing at this time of year.
