Chocolate cherry hair color is at the center of the brunette red hair Venn diagram – the rich overlap is the best of both worlds, adds depth and will make your hair look great, especially as the weather turns colder. This shiny, blotchy color penetrates curls and actually lasts a good three months thanks to a slower oxidation process. We love a low-maintenance look, especially when it means fewer cold-weather salon visits (although you can DIY too). Think of the universally flattering shade of red as dark cherry charcoal or a flavor in a box of chocolate. The color looks delicious in any light, but the burgundy really pops in the sun for a sparkling, dramatic surprise.
According to Clark, the chocolate cherry hair color trend is “a natural-looking brunette with hints of red-purple hues throughout the hair.” The key is to play up the red, as it “adds dimension to the hair,” he continues. For reference: “It looks like a brunette color with a subtle reddish hue throughout the hair. It’s not a bright hair color, it’s more of a whisper in the hair,” explains Clark.
