Copper Hair Is the Colour of the Season – Would It Suit You?
Looking to change up your hair colour this autumn/winter? Say goodbye to summer blondes and hello to the warm, fiery richness of copper hair—the shade that’s taking over runways, TikTok feeds, and salon chairs everywhere.
From soft strawberry blondes to bold auburns, copper tones are having a serious moment, and for good reason. They bring dimension, warmth, and glow to almost every skin tone when done right. But before you make the leap, let’s explore who copper suits best, how to maintain it, and what to consider before you go red.
Why Copper Hair Is Trending
Copper hair has always been eye-catching, but in 2025 it’s become a full-blown movement. With celebs and influencers embracing deeper, richer tones, and the return of "warm girl autumn" aesthetics, it’s easy to see why copper is the colour of the season.
Plus, copper shades can range from subtle and soft to bold and bright, making them incredibly versatile. Whether you're craving a hint of warmth or a dramatic transformation, there's a copper for you.
Who Can Wear Copper Hair?
Copper is surprisingly adaptable—when you choose the right shade for your skin tone and undertone.
Fair Skin with Warm Undertones
If you have fair skin with golden or peach undertones, you’re in luck. Shades like light copper, strawberry blonde, or apricot will complement your skin beautifully, giving it a fresh, lit-from-within glow.
Medium or Olive Skin Tones
Medium and olive complexions pair beautifully with rich auburns, bronzed coppers, or even rusty cinnamon shades. These tones enhance natural warmth without overpowering your features.
Deep Skin Tones
Deep skin looks radiant with vibrant cherry reds, burgundy coppers, or deep ginger hues. These shades bring contrast and richness that highlights your skin's undertones and adds drama in all the right ways.
Pro Tip: Not sure of your undertone? Look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear green, you likely have warm undertones; blue or purple means cool; both = neutral.
Tips Before You Go Copper
Copper hair can be gorgeous but high-maintenance. Here's what to know before you book your salon appointment:
1. Go to a Professional
Copper is notoriously tricky to DIY. The wrong tone can easily turn brassy or flat. A colourist can customise your shade and make sure it complements your skin tone perfectly.
2. Use Colour-Safe Products
Invest in a sulfate-free, colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner. Copper dyes are prone to fading, so proper care helps your shade last longer and keeps it vibrant between appointments.
3. Limit Sun & Heat Exposure
Sun exposure and frequent heat styling can dull copper shades quickly. Use a UV-protectant spray and a heat protectant every time you style.
4. Consider a Gloss Treatment
To maintain shine and richness, try an in-salon or at-home gloss treatment every 4–6 weeks. It refreshes colour and adds mirror-like shine.
Is Copper Worth the Maintenance?
While copper shades may require a bit more upkeep than cooler tones, the payoff is worth it. This colour brings life to dull hair, complements most wardrobes (especially neutrals, browns, and greens), and makes a bold seasonal statement.
So—would copper hair suit you?
Chances are, yes! With the right shade and care, copper can elevate your look and make your skin glow. It’s a confident, creative colour choice that reflects warmth, energy, and personality—perfect for those ready to turn heads this season.
