The Striking Cowboy Copper Hair Trend
Share
I’m a hairdresser, these are the things you should know before dying your hair ‘cowboy’ copper…
Professional hairdresser and brand executive Nicola Wilcox at Capital Hair and Beauty says:
“Cowboy copper is a trend that has taken social media by storm however, transforming hair into rich copper tones as we approach autumn is a common annual occurrence.
Although very beautiful, copper hair involves a lot of dedication. Because of this, here are some key considerations before taking the plunge:
It’s a lifestyle
“When done correctly, copper hair will be striking however, this colour fades fast, so if you’re fully dedicated make sure to pick a permanent colour over a semi-permanent, and be prepared for maintenance.
You’ll be investing more than your time
“Regular shampooing and conditioning can strip the dye from your hair, so you’ll need to invest in high quality products, something that is sulphate-free and coloured hair friendly. The number of times you wash your hair can also influence the longevity of your colour. You should be aiming to wash your hair no more than once or twice a week if you want to keep the salon-fresh brightness.
Think about your future self.
“As brunette hair generally tends to have undertones of red, it can be fairly easy to go back to your original colour from copper. However, if you’re a blonde turning copper, it could be hard to change back. Of course, nothing is impossible, but you should consult your stylist for their expert advice if you think you may want to switch up your colour again in the near future.”
