Mocha Hair Color

Warm tones are the most common when coloring hair in the mocha brown family, but that doesn’t mean you can’t opt for something with more of an ashy undertone. This is a great example of mocha brown hair that has a slight ashiness to it.

Isn’t this gorgeous? We are in love with this mocha balayage color The base color is this stunning mocha brown color, adding in lighter pieces throughout with balayage gives so much dimension.

Hello stunning hair! Another way to add a light warmth to mocha brown hair is with highlights added to different pieces of the hair. Here they opted for this beautiful caramel color to frame the face.

Mocha and caramel don’t just go together in food, they also look great when applied to hair! This is another really pretty way to add caramel highlights to a darker mocha brown hair color. Here they opted for just a few highlights, primarily closer to the face to add a nice pop.

Like many hair colors, mocha brown hair can be applied to hair in various tones. So if the darker tones we showed you previously aren’t really your favorite, this lighter hue may be more your speed. Add even more lightness with some extra highlights.

On the flip side, you may want something dark – this is for you. We absolutely love the richness this chocolate mocha brown gives to hair. There is some depth to it, with subtle differences in color throughout which really helps to add some pizzazz to such a dark hair color.

Here we have another dark, rich brown color. As you can see here the color is darker towards the root of the hair and highlights were applied primarily to the bottom half of the hair. This gives kind of a subtle, more natural ombre effect.

Talk about a mocha beauty! This is a major deep mocha brown hair moment and we are in love. If you pay close attention you can see there have been some strategically placed lighter toned pieces throughout to add just enough dimension to the warm color.

Highlights aren’t the only way to add lightness to dark mocha brown hair. Lowlights are another fun way to make the color trend your own. Here they’ve applied lowlights sparingly and it’s just enough to break up the dark brown color.

We love a simplistic hair color moment. This coffee mocha brown color is minimalistic, but loaded with style and warmth. Because it’s such a rich color as is, don’t feel like you have to add highlights or lowlights into the mix.

This barely there balayage is everything! Because the base color is such a dark hue of mocha brown, caramel pieces don’t need to be plentiful in order to make a major impact on the overall look.

The highlights applied to deep mocha brown here is kind of like a mix between balayage and ombre. Because of the placement of the highlights it really emphasizes the dark roots, and allows the lighter pieces to really pop.
