Coppers sit high on our list, well, high on many lists if I’m honest — the major Colour trend of this year, swoon Colour, bestseller Colour, among others — and, apparently, many of you reading this love the Shade but struggle to use it. And the reasonings are diverse: prettified of overdoing it and becoming a full fledged carrot top, scared it looks better in your head than on your head, worried that it will be too intense, etc etc.
So how do we bridge the gap between you wanting to Copper and you becoming a Copper? By asking yourself the single most important Copper question of your life — how vibrant do you want your Hair Colour?
To help you answer this, I like to divide Coppers into two groups:
Coppers Served Straight Up - pure, uninterrupted Copper Shades.
Copper Cocktails - Copper Shades that have been subdued by adding in another Colour, so you still get the Copper effect but it's less intense.
And once you’ve decided if it’s an intense or subtle Copper Shade you are interested in, keep reading to help pinpoint the exact look you are going for.
