With autumn officially upon us, why not mirror the changing of the leaves and spice up your hair colour? As a transitional season, autumn is the perfect time to start winding down and preparing for the cool, cosy month of winter. This autumn, we’re obsessing over the various shades of the colour copper. The middle ground between red and brunette, copper is rich, unique, and multi-dimensional. Here are our favourite copper-based shades that will be dominating the hair trends this autumn.

How to choose the right copper shade for you

With the plethora of copper shades options available in the market, how are you supposed to know which one is right for you? After all, copper can be warm and rich or light and soft, and some shades run the risk of washing out certain people.

Choosing your hair color completely depends on your skin tone - or to be more specific, your undertones. As a general rule, if you have a fair or warm skin tone, you will look best with warm copper colours and highlights. Alternatively, if you have a dark or cool skin tone, cool copper shades with hints of violet or ruby to them will have you looking like a million bucks. If you are unsure about what copper shade will look best on you, work with your hairdresser to come up with a custom shade that works perfectly for you.
