Coppery hues have an undeniably glamorous vibe. Ask your colorist to create an ombre effect to bring out its splendor on blue eyes and pale skin tones. Light copper color can add depth and dimension to dark locks without bleach, providing vibrant results without hassle or expense. Regularly use the best shampoos and conditioners for colored hair to maintain vibrant hues.
Warm Undertones
Copper can have fiery or warm golden undertones. A saturated copper balayage is a rich yet warm shade that looks fantastic on dark brown locks. The peachy copper shade works well for those with pink or peach undertones in their skin and stands out against tanned skin. Redheads with warm undertones, like Emma Stone, will find this hue suitable. For a unique take on copper, ask your colorist to use a lighter brown base and incorporate peach-toned highlights for an eye-catching autumn hue. Copper’s shimmer is sure to turn heads this fall season.
Cool Undertones
Copper hair colors pair beautifully with cool skin tones, bringing out pink hues in cheeks and accentuating blue eyes. Light or strawberry blonde locks can try pumpkin spice copper for a bold change that evokes fall; for darker strands, you can choose a soft copper hair color with brown undertones to add warmth without removing natural brown or caramel strands. If copper hair becomes too vibrant, use a toner with green pigment to reduce its intensity. To maintain the copper shade, use a moisturizing conditioner and a heat protectant spray when shampooing. Visit a professional colorist for touch-ups every six weeks.
Soft Copper
Ask your colorist about a muted tone with a brownish-gold tint for more natural-looking copper hues. This shade complements olive to dark skin tones without combining red or orange shades. Hoyeon Jung’s tomato-copper hue from Rag and Bone’s Spring 2017 runway show is a great example. To prevent fast fading, use dpHue’s Color Boosting Deep Conditioner. It extends color life while leaving strands shiny and healthy-looking.
Deep Copper
Copper tones offer vibrant hues suitable for brunettes and blondes. Golden copper is alluring for fair skin tones and highlights green or blue eyes. Deep copper penny shade offers warmth and a fiery glow, perfect for a redhead who wants a change like Hayley Williams of Paramore. Prioritize hair health with TLC using appropriate shampoo and conditioner before applying the dye. Perform a skin patch test beforehand to check for possible allergic reactions.
