The answer is yes.
Although brown hair is usually created on hair that has black or dark brown roots, it’s possible to dye your burgundy hair chocolate brown.
However, depending on the condition of your hair, you will need to bleach it before or after dying if you want an intense color like chocolate brown.
Your results may vary, so it’s essential to test the color several times before dying your hair in its entirety.
If you want to dye your burgundy hair chocolate brown without bleaching it first, there are several ways you can achieve similar results.
For example, if you have medium brown or dark blonde/light brown hair with no previous exposure to henna or red dyes, you can mix your henna with either a dark blonde or light brown hair dye.
This will help neutralize the underlying tint of burgundy in your hair and give it a chocolatey brown hue instead.
If you’re looking for a less complicated solution, try using a color stripper followed by a regular non-henna-based brown dye.
The results won’t be as intense or long-lasting as using a mix of brown and red dyes, but it’s an easy way to get rid of the burgundy color in your hair and go for a chocolate brown shade instead.
You can also try using a permanent burgundy dye. Permanent dyes tend to give less intense results than non-permanent ones, so if you’ve tried the former and didn’t like the result, it’s worth another shot using this method.
If you’re looking to dye your hair burgundy before dyeing it brown (perhaps for cosmetic reasons), mix your burgundy shade with a semi-permanent chocolate brown dye.
Even though the results won’t be as good, it can help give your hair a head-start before applying your regular chocolate brown dye.
