Copper Hair Color and Its Opportunities
- Copper hue for straight hair. If your hair is straight and you are thinking of dyeing it copper, consider ombre. Let it be dark auburn or ginger at the roots melting into tender strawberry blonde. Treat your tresses with a silky finish to enhance the radiance of the gorgeous copper fade.
- Coppers for wavy and curly hair. All copper hues look fantastic on wavy and curly hair. Anything from scrunch styles or beach waves to polished vintage curls is extremely flattering on redheads. Loose messy curly updos or messy braids adorned with field flowers, twigs or leaves create fantastic rustic hairstyles and are actively used as bridal ‘dos in eco style.
