7. Soft Cocoa Milk
Soft cocoa milk is a warm, inviting take on the milk brown trend. By blending a medium milk-brown base with subtle, warm, cocoa-toned highlights, you achieve a look that feels incredibly cozy and natural. This shade is particularly flattering for those with warm or olive skin tones, as the cocoa highlights bring out the golden undertones in the skin. The result is a vibrant, healthy-looking mane that looks beautiful in all types of lighting. It is a great everyday color that is low maintenance, as the warm cocoa highlights tend to blend beautifully as they grow out.
How to Make
Start with a medium milk-brown permanent color. Using a balayage technique, hand-paint soft, cocoa-colored highlights throughout the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. The goal is a soft, sun-kissed effect, so keep the highlights fine and scattered. After processing, apply a warm, cocoa-toned glaze to ensure the highlights look vibrant and healthy. Because the cocoa tones can fade, it is recommended to use a color-enhancing shampoo designed for warm brown tones once a week to maintain the vibrancy of the cocoa highlights and keep your milk brown hair looking fresh.
