Copper tones look particularly good on fair skin types. As the color is very warm, it gives the skin more warmth and a fresher look. On darker skin tones, the color might appear rather unnatural. However, it suits every eye color, whether blue or brown, and can always appear natural. For individuals with acne or redness on their faces, red hair is not ideal as it emphasizes the redness.

Before taking the plunge, it's important to know your hair structure and consider the hair's base. For instance, whether your hair is natural or already dyed, or what your natural hair color is. Black hair, for example, may not easily be dyed copper. Blonde hair, on the other hand, has it much easier as it doesn't require pre-lightening.

Whether your hair is natural or already bleached, blondes have no problem absorbing the red pigment. They can determine the tone and intensity themselves. If you're not entirely sure if the shade suits you, a copper toner would be ideal. While it doesn't last as long as a dye, with blonde starting colors, it lasts longer than 1-2 hair washes.

The range of copper colors is as versatile as that of blonde and brown. There are lighter shades, almost flowing into blonde, but also darker ones resembling a beautiful brown in intensity. Brown hair doesn't necessarily need to be lightened, only if the desired color is lighter than the current one.

Those with black hair who have previously dyed it to a lighter color know it well! The transformation is challenging and straining for both you and your hair. Individual hairs need to be bleached and then dyed again. Theoretically, it might be possible to do this at home. However, achieving a – undoubtedly - beautiful result with dark hair is easiest and most relaxed in the salon.

It's all about care! Those dyeing their hair must use rich, gentle, and protective care products that offer additional color protection. Just as there are special color care products for blonde, brown, and black hair, there are certainly ones for copper-colored hair.

In addition to regular hair care, a color conditioner can be wonderfully used. It doesn't need to be part of the regular routine; using it once a week is entirely sufficient.

Now you know which skin tones suit copper hair particularly well, what to consider during the transformation process, and most importantly: what proper care looks like. Nothing stands in the way of your individual change now! Book an appointment and let your hair shine in the trend color!
