You saw it, we saw it too. The chocolate cherry brunette hair trend continues to be as strong as ever. This color, which we thought would eventually disappear once summer ended, has seen no shortage of TikTok videos permeating our feeds with influencers thinking this is the new hottest hair color trend. No. Even celebrities like Jenna Ortega and Dove Cameron have dabbled in owning a crimson mane, but it’s pop sensation Dua Lipa who keeps the internet’s obsession going strong.
Chocolate cherry hair can vary in appearance, but usually incorporates shades of deep pinkish-red and dark brown. This effect can be achieved with a deep chocolate brown base and brown, mahogany, and auburn undertones. Next, top your hair with cherry gloss or highlights. Highlights can be subtle, bold, or any intensity you want. Most of the time it will be a burgundy color, but it should always be a deep cherry red.
Either way, this is a universally flattering hair color that is suitable for a variety of skin tones and hair textures.
