Mocha Mousse is stealing the spotlight this season. Inspired by the enduring elegance of chocolate tones – seen on style icons like Halle Berry in the early 2000s and carried into today’s glam by stars like Zendaya and Lily Collins – this rich, multidimensional shade is the perfect match for the Pantone Color of the Year.
Aveda’s Global Artistic Director of Hair Color, Ian Michael Black, reveals his expert tips for achieving the ultimate Mocha Mousse, blending warm and cool undertones to enhance every complexion. Ian Michael Black noted: “This is the perfect shade to be translated to hair color. Soft with a hint of warmth that is beautifully flattering to most skin tones.
“This versatile hue can be tailored to reflect individual style, whether as a perfect base for subtle highlights or as an all-over expression of the shade. Rich and nurturing, this shade will be the definite go to color for 2025.”
This sought-after shade takes center stage in Aveda’s latest campaign, Details, which highlights how to create radiant, long-lasting mocha hues while strengthening hair with Aveda’s Botanical Repair system. The result? Sleek, glossy hair that turns heads and stands the test of time.
