INFO:

Replying to @lovelettermariee wondering what it’s like to dye your hair from red to chocolate brown? Coloring your hair from red to chocolate brown is generally not too difficult for a few key reasons: 1. Brown Is Darker Than Red • Going darker is usually easier than going lighter. You’re adding pigment rather than trying to remove it. • Chocolate brown easily covers red tones because it has enough depth and pigment to neutralize or blend the red. 2. Red and Brown Share Warm Tones • Red hair already contains warm undertones. • Chocolate brown often has warm, rich undertones (golden, red, or mahogany), so the two shades complement each other. • This makes it less likely for odd tones (like green or muddy hues) to appear during the color process. 3. Less Pre-Lightening Required • Unlike going from dark to light, there’s typically no need for bleach when going from red to chocolate brown. • This means the process is less damaging and more predictable. 4. Color Grabs Well on Red Hair • Red dye molecules tend to stick to the hair shaft, which can make red hard to remove—but going over it with a darker color like brown actually works in your favor. • The chocolate brown will adhere well and appear rich rather than patchy.
