Cocoa blonde: technique

In principle, when we talk about cocoa blonde, it is not a 100% strict and defined color. Indeed, it is a treatment or semi-permanent which gives a darker appearance to blonde. To do this, the hairdresser uses a hair gloss that is put on an already existing color, whether balayage, shadow, highlights, etc.
