While chocolate brown hair is an amazing color, some people would prefer to be rid of it. The easiest method of being rid of this hair color will be to shave your head. This option seems to be the more prevalent choice with men in comparison to women. If you want to keep your hair, then it is important to take the color change into account. If you plan to go extremely light, then bleaching will be mandatory. However, if your desire is to go darker, then it is usually safer to do so. As mentioned previously, it is important to be certain that you truly do have chocolate brown hair before you use any dye to change hair color. The natural color of the hair will show through and change the final result either immediately, or over time. Wear lighter colored clothing as well, if you wish to change the appearance of your hair.
Care and Maintenance:
As with many types of hair, the chocolate brown color needs maintenance to maintain. This is true of naturally brown haired individuals and those who dyed their hair as well. Typically, shampoo, conditioner, and proper management will take care of the hair quite well. However, avoiding sun damage and split ends is necessary as well. Some people will notice that their hair lightens dramatically due to sun exposure over time.
The best way to avoid this is to either wear a hat when outdoors for long periods of time, or to avoid being outside in direct sunlight for extended periods. This is especially true in the summer time. Avoid long term exposure to salt water as well. This type of exposure combined with the summer sun can damage your chocolate brown hair, or bleach it naturally. There is nothing wrong with swimming or tanning, however, be advised that you may occasionally have to darken your hair and give it some special tender love and care to maintain that dark chocolate brown hair.
