Dark copper hair is having a major moment — and for good reason. This rich, dimensional shade sits right between red and brunette, delivering warmth, shine, and depth that flatter almost every skin tone. Unlike brighter gingers, dark copper hair feels sophisticated and wearable: it glows in sunlight, photographs beautifully, and grows out gracefully. Whether you're after a subtle copper-brunette glow or a bold spicy copper statement, these 35 dark copper hair ideas for women cover every length, texture, and lifestyle. Each shade below comes with styling notes and exactly what to ask for in the salon, so you can walk in with a plan and walk out with the copper hair of your dreams.
1. Classic Dark Copper
The signature shade that defines dark copper hair: a rich, even copper with enough depth to read brunette indoors and glow unmistakably red-gold in sunlight. It's the most versatile of all copper tones — warm but not loud, polished but never flat. This shade works on every hair length and is the ideal starting point if you're going copper for the first time.
Best for: First-time copper wearers; warm and neutral skin tones; medium to thick hair.
Styling: A smooth blowout with a round brush shows off the color's even saturation. Finish with a lightweight glossing serum for mirror shine.
Ask your stylist: A level 5–6 copper base with balanced red and gold pigments; ask for a copper gloss refresh every 4–6 weeks to stop fading.
2. Deep Auburn Copper
Auburn and copper meet in this deeper, moodier shade with wine-red undertones beneath the copper glow. It reads elegant and grown-up — the kind of color that looks expensive in any light. On darker natural hair, this shade is often achievable without heavy pre-lightening, which keeps hair healthier.
Best for: Natural brunettes going copper for the first time; cool-to-neutral skin tones.
Styling: Soft waves or a textured lob let the wine undertones catch the light. Air-dry with curl cream for effortless dimension.
Ask your stylist: An auburn base (level 4–5) with copper reflect; keep the root slightly deeper for a lived-in, low-maintenance grow-out.
3. Dark Chocolate Copper
Coppery warmth woven through a chocolate-brown base — this is the quiet-luxury version of dark copper hair. The copper reads as a sunlit sheen rather than a bold statement, making it office-friendly and easy to maintain. It's also one of the most forgiving shades for dark natural hair, since the base needs minimal lift.
Best for: Brunettes who want warmth without committing to full copper; busy schedules.
Styling: Sleek straight styles or a polished low ponytail show off the dimensional sheen. A flat iron pass plus shine spray is all it takes.
Ask your stylist: Chocolate-brown base with copper glaze; if you love the depth, see our roundup of dark brown hair color ideas for more rich brunette inspiration.
4. Mahogany Copper
Deep, moody, and touched with red — mahogany copper takes brunette to another level. The color has a burgundy-wine richness in low light and a warm copper fire in sunlight. It's dramatic without being loud, and it gives fine hair the illusion of extra depth and fullness.
Best for: Medium to long hair; anyone who wants a darker copper that still reads clearly as copper.
Styling: Long layers or loose waves break up the density and reveal the red-copper variation. Use a color-depositing conditioner every other wash to keep the wine tones alive.
Ask your stylist: A level 4 mahogany-copper base; ask for face-framing brightness to keep the shade from looking too dark around the face.
5. Burnt Sienna Copper
Inspired by the painter's pigment, burnt sienna copper is an earthy, reddish-brown copper that glows like autumn leaves. It sits deeper than classic copper but warmer than auburn, with a gorgeous terracotta lean. This is a standout fall hair color choice that still flatters year-round.
Best for: Fall color refreshes; olive and warm skin tones; wavy and curly textures.
Styling: Embrace texture — scrunch waves with sea-salt spray or define curls with a light gel so the earthy tones show movement.
Ask your stylist: A sienna-copper formula with warm brown and copper pigments at level 5; request a demi-permanent gloss for that lit-from-within finish.
6. Dark Russet Copper
Russet is the cozy, harvest-toned cousin of dark copper hair — deep, golden-red, and quietly rich. It bridges copper and auburn beautifully, with warmth that reads natural rather than dyed. This shade is especially flattering on medium skin tones and gives green and hazel eyes a striking boost.
Best for: Natural-looking copper; green and hazel eyes; medium-length hair.
Styling: A middle part with soft curtain layers opens the face and lets the golden-red tones frame your features.
Ask your stylist: Russet-copper with gold and red reflects at level 5–6; mention you want it to look "grown-in," not freshly dyed.
7. Deep Cinnamon Copper
Spiced, warm, and inviting — deep cinnamon copper wraps hair in a rich reddish-brown glow with golden tips of light. It has beautiful dimension even as a solid color, shifting subtly between cinnamon, copper, and bronze depending on the light. Few shades photograph as beautifully as this one.
Best for: Photography-friendly color; medium skin tones; straight or blow-dried hair where the sheen shows.
Styling: A bouncy blowout maximizes the cinnamon shimmer. Rotate in a copper color-depositing mask weekly to keep the spice from fading to dull brown.
Ask your stylist: Cinnamon-copper base with a slightly lighter copper gloss through the mid-lengths for built-in dimension.
8. Dark Penny Copper
Bright, warm, and gleaming like a fresh-minted coin, dark penny copper takes the vivid copper shine and deepens it just enough to stay sophisticated. On straight or blunt cuts the shine is spectacular — every strand catches the light. It's a confident shade for women who want their hair color noticed.
Best for: Straight, blunt, or glass-hair cuts; warm skin tones; fine hair (the shine adds the look of density).
Styling: The sleeker, the better — flat iron in sections and finish with a silicone-free shine serum. Avoid heavy oils that dull the metallic glow.
Ask your stylist: Copper with extra gold and orange pigment at level 6; ask for a clear gloss topcoat to lock in the penny shine.
9. Copper Espresso Melt
Near-black espresso roots melting into copper through the mid-lengths — this rooty take on dark copper hair is the ultimate low-maintenance copper. The dark root grounds the color and means regrowth blends in invisibly, so you can stretch salon visits to 10–12 weeks. The contrast also makes the copper look brighter by comparison.
Best for: Low-maintenance routines; natural dark hair; anyone nervous about visible roots.
Styling: Wear it straight to show the melt line, or add loose curls for a softer blend. Root touch-up spray is unnecessary — that's the point.
Ask your stylist: Keep your natural level 2–3 root and melt into a level 5–6 copper; ask for a "shadow root" application so the transition is seamless.
10. Dark Copper Balayage
Hand-painted copper ribbons over a dark base give you all the warmth of dark copper hair with the softest grow-out in the business. The balayage technique means no harsh lines, and the placement can be customized to brighten your face, add movement to layers, or both. It's the most requested copper technique in salons right now.
Best for: Brunettes testing copper; long and layered hair; low-maintenance color.
Styling: Waves are balayage's best friend — curl away from the face in alternating directions to show off the painted dimension.
Ask your stylist: Dark brown base with hand-painted copper balayage in a level 6–7; request brighter pieces around the face for a lit-from-within effect.
11. Dark Copper Ombre
A bolder gradient than balayage: dark roots flowing into vivid copper ends with a visible (but blended) transition. Dark copper ombre makes a statement while keeping your natural color at the root, so it's gentler on hair and wallet than all-over lightening. The ends take the brightest copper, so they read almost fiery.
Best for: Statement color without full commitment; long hair where the gradient has room to shine.
Styling: Long loose waves or a high ponytail show the full root-to-tip gradient. Use a heat protectant — lightened ends need extra care.
Ask your stylist: Keep 3–4 inches of natural root, then a melted transition into level 6 copper ends; add a copper gloss to unify the gradient.
12. Dark Copper with Blonde Money Piece
The Pinterest-favorite combo: deep copper hair with a face-framing blonde money piece. The contrast is striking — the dark copper looks richer next to the bright blonde, and the money piece lights up your whole face. It's a bold, modern pairing that photographs incredibly well.
Best for: Trend-forward wearers; anyone who wants maximum face brightness; medium to long hair.
Styling: A center part makes the money piece symmetrical and striking. Keep the blonde pieces smooth and tucked behind the ears or worn forward — both work.
Ask your stylist: Dark copper base with two face-framing foils lifted to a golden blonde (level 8–9); tone the blonde warm so it harmonizes with the copper.
13. Copper Brunette
The subtlest entry on this list: a brunette shade lifted with warm copper undertones woven through the darker strands. Indoors it reads as rich brown; in sunlight the copper ignites. It's the perfect "is she or isn't she" copper — ideal for conservative workplaces or copper-curious brunettes.
Best for: First copper experiments; professional settings; dark natural hair with zero pre-lightening.
Styling: This shade loves shine — a sleek blowout or polished waves show the copper undertones best. Gloss treatments every 6 weeks keep it luminous.
Ask your stylist: Brunette base with copper reflect (no lift needed on dark hair); a copper gloss is enough to create the effect on virgin hair.
14. Dark Cherry Copper
A cherry-infused copper with sultry wine-red depth at the root and copper warmth glowing through the ends. It has an almost ombre effect built in — darker and moodier up top, brighter and fiery at the tips. This is dark copper hair with undeniable drama.
Best for: Evening-ready color; medium to dark skin tones; long hair.
Styling: Old-Hollywood waves or a deep side part lean into the sultry vibe. A red-tinted gloss between appointments keeps the cherry alive.
Ask your stylist: Cherry-copper with a level 4 cherry root melting to level 6 copper ends; ask for the transition to be melted, not striped.
15. Dark Terracotta Copper
Earthy, sun-baked, and warm — dark terracotta copper has the grounded richness of clay with copper's signature glow. It leans more orange-brown than red, which makes it especially flattering on warm and golden skin tones. The shade feels artisanal and modern, far from a box-dye red.
Best for: Warm and golden undertones; textured and tousled styles; a modern, earthy aesthetic.
Styling: Tousled texture is the move — air-dry with texturizing cream or do loose overnight braids for soft waves that show the clay tones.
Ask your stylist: Terracotta-copper at level 5–6 with warm brown and copper pigments; keep it matte-leaning (less gloss) for the earthy finish.
16. Cranberry Copper Blend
Sweet with a little tang — cranberry copper leans redder than most coppers without going full burgundy. The berry undertone gives the color a unique, jewel-toned richness that stands out from every other copper on this list. It's unexpected, eye-catching, and surprisingly wearable.
Best for: Cool skin tones (the berry flatters pink undertones); anyone bored of standard copper.
Styling: Sleek styles show the jewel tones best; a straight blow-dry with shine serum makes the cranberry glow.
Ask your stylist: Copper base with cranberry-red reflect at level 5; a cranberry color-depositing conditioner keeps the berry tone between visits.
17. Dark Copper Lowlights on Brown Hair
Instead of lightening, this technique weaves dark copper lowlights through brown hair for depth and warmth. It's the gentlest way to get dark copper hair — no bleach, minimal damage, and the lowlights create gorgeous dimension that looks completely natural. Perfect if your hair is fragile or you're growing out damage.
Best for: Damaged or fragile hair; subtle dimension; brunettes who want richness without lightness.
Styling: Works with any style — the lowlights add depth to ponytails, braids, and down styles alike. Layered cuts show the dimension best.
Ask your stylist: Copper lowlights 1–2 levels darker than your base, woven in fine sections; pair with a copper gloss for cohesion.
18. Dark Ginger Copper
Sitting between deep red clay and fresh paprika, dark ginger copper is grounded but never dull. It pulls a natural glow out of the skin and works across cool, warm, and neutral undertones — a rare universal flatterer. The ginger warmth keeps it lively even in the depths of winter.
Best for: All skin undertones; a natural-looking ginger that isn't too bright.
Styling: Soft curls or waves show the paprika warmth beautifully. A weekly hydrating mask keeps ginger tones from going flat or brassy.
Ask your stylist: Ginger-copper with balanced red and gold at level 6; ask for a copper gloss (not red) at refresh appointments to keep it gingery.
19. Dark Copper on Curly Hair
Curls and dark copper are a match made in heaven — every curl catches the light differently, creating a kaleidoscope of copper, auburn, and bronze. The color adds visible dimension that makes curls look fuller and more defined. This shade on a wash-and-go is genuinely show-stopping.
Best for: Type 3–4 curls; wash-and-go routines; anyone who wants maximum dimension.
Styling: Define curls with a leave-in and light gel, then diffuse or air-dry. Pineapple at night to preserve the curl pattern and the color's vibrancy.
Ask your stylist: Ask for the color to be applied in a way that respects your curl pattern (dry-cut friendly); a copper gloss enhances curl shine without weighing hair down.
20. Dark Copper Lob
The long bob gets a fiery upgrade. Dark copper on a lob is modern, polished, and endlessly versatile — sharp enough for work, fun enough for weekends. The mid-length cut shows the color's depth without the maintenance of very long copper hair, and it grows out beautifully.
Best for: Professional settings; fine to medium hair (the lob + copper reads fuller); low-maintenance cuts.
Styling: A sleek, tucked-behind-the-ears lob is chic; add a bend with a flat iron for softness. Shine spray is non-negotiable with this shade.
Ask your stylist: Collarbone-length lob with subtle layers; dark copper at level 5–6 all over for even, rich saturation.
21. Dark Copper Pixie
Proof that short hair takes color brilliantly: a pixie in dark copper is bold, chic, and full of personality. The short length means the color looks incredibly saturated, and regrowth is easy to manage with frequent trims. It's a confident, fashion-forward choice.
Best for: Short-hair lovers; oval and heart face shapes; anyone who wants a statement cut + color combo.
Styling: Piece-y texture with a matte pomade shows off the color's richness; a little volume at the crown keeps it modern, not severe.
Ask your stylist: Keep the cut textured (not blunt) so the copper has movement; refresh the color every 4 weeks since short hair shows roots fast.
22. Dark Copper with Face-Framing Highlights
Copper highlights painted around the face brighten the complexion and add movement to dark copper hair — like contouring, but for your hair. The technique works on any base shade on this list and instantly makes the color look more expensive and dimensional.
Best for: Adding brightness without all-over lightening; round and square face shapes (the vertical highlights elongate).
Styling: Wear hair forward or in a middle part to show the face frame; loose waves make the highlights dance.
Ask your stylist: Hand-painted copper highlights 1–2 levels lighter than your base, concentrated around the face; keep the back deeper for contrast.
23. Spicy Dark Copper
The trend shade of the season: spicy copper takes dark copper deeper, warmer, and bolder, blending bright orange, rich brown, auburn, and deep red for a dimensional, fiery finish. It's the copper shade all over Pinterest and salons right now — warm, dimensional, and unapologetically bold.
Best for: Trend followers; autumn color changes; warm skin tones.
Styling: This shade wants to be seen — wear it down and let it move. A color-protecting routine is essential because the multi-tonal formula fades faster.
Ask your stylist: Ask for "warm, dimensional copper, not flat one-tone" — a mix of copper, auburn, and golden tones at levels 5–7 for that spicy depth.
24. Dark Copper on Brown Skin Tones
Copper on rich brown skin is stunning — the warm undertones of dark copper hair echo and amplify golden and deep complexions. Shades with extra gold and amber (rather than pink-red) harmonize most beautifully. This is a combination more women should try; the glow is unreal.
Best for: Medium-deep to deep skin tones; anyone who's been told copper "isn't for" their complexion (it is).
Styling: Sleek, glossy styles — silk presses, smooth blowouts — maximize the harmony between skin glow and hair shine.
Ask your stylist: Ask for golden-copper (not cherry) tones; bring reference photos of copper on similar skin tones so your colorist matches the undertone.
25. Dark Copper with Melted Roots
A soft, diffused root that melts from your natural shade into dark copper — no lines, no harsh regrowth, just a seamless gradient. The melted root makes dark copper hair genuinely low-maintenance while keeping all the richness through the lengths. It's the grown-up way to wear copper.
Best for: Low-maintenance color; growing out previous color; natural dark roots.
Styling: Any style works — the melt looks seamless straight, wavy, or curled. Dry shampoo at the root extends time between washes.
Ask your stylist: A "root melt" or "shadow root" 1–2 shades deeper than the copper lengths, blended 2–3 inches down; refresh the melt every 8–10 weeks.
26. Dark Copper on Long Wavy Hair
Long, flowing waves are dark copper hair's red carpet moment. The length gives the color room to show every tone — deep auburn shadows, copper mid-tones, golden ends — in one continuous cascade. It's romantic, feminine, and the most photographed version of this trend.
Best for: Long hair (past shoulders); special occasions; maximum color impact.
Styling: Large-barrel curls brushed out into waves, or heatless overnight braids. A shine oil on the ends keeps long copper hair looking healthy.
Ask your stylist: All-over dark copper with subtle balayage brightness through the ends; ask for long layers so the waves have movement.
27. Dark Copper on Thick Hair
Thick hair holds dark copper color beautifully — the density gives the shade incredible richness and staying power, since there's simply more hair to saturate. The color also makes thick hair look more polished and intentional rather than overwhelming. Layers are key to keeping the shape light.
Best for: Thick, dense hair; anyone whose color usually fades fast (more hair = longer-lasting saturation).
Styling: Long layers or a layered cut remove bulk and let the copper move; a blowout with a paddle brush keeps it smooth without puffiness.
Ask your stylist: Ask for internal layering to remove weight; dark copper at level 5 saturates thick hair evenly — no need to go lighter.
28. Dark Copper on Fine Hair
Fine hair + dark copper is an underrated combination: the rich, deep color creates the illusion of density and fullness that fine hair often lacks. Because the shade is darker, it adds visual weight, and the shine makes each strand look thicker. Keep the formula rich rather than bright for the fullest effect.
Best for: Fine or thinning hair; anyone who wants hair to look thicker.
Styling: Volume at the roots is everything — blow-dry upside down, use a volumizing mousse, and avoid heavy oils that flatten fine hair.
Ask your stylist: A rich, deep copper (level 5) rather than a bright one; ask for subtle dimension at the crown to fake fullness.
29. Dark Copper with Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs in dark copper frame the face with warmth — the copper tones around the forehead brighten the eyes and soften features. Paired with layered lengths (see our layered hair with bangs guide), it's a soft, French-girl take on the copper trend.
Best for: Softening strong features; growing-out bangs; face-framing warmth.
Styling: Blow-dry curtain bangs with a round brush, sweeping outward; a tiny flat-iron flick at the ends keeps them piece-y, not helmet-like.
Ask your stylist: Curtain bangs starting at cheekbone length; keep the bang color consistent with the base so regrowth blends.
30. Dark Copper for Women Over 40
Copper is one of the most flattering color families for mature skin — the warmth counteracts sallowness and brings life to the complexion. A deeper dark copper (rather than bright ginger) reads sophisticated and modern at any age. This is proof that copper has no age limit.
Best for: Women over 40 refreshing their color; adding warmth to the complexion.
Styling: Polished but soft — a smooth blowout or gentle waves. Avoid overly severe styles; softness around the face is most flattering.
Ask your stylist: A deeper, dimensional copper (level 5) with soft face-framing brightness; mention you want warmth that flatters, not a harsh red.
31. Dark Copper for Warm Skin Tones
If your skin has golden, peachy, or olive-warm undertones, dark copper hair is practically made for you. Shades leaning golden-copper and amber harmonize with warm skin instead of fighting it — the result is a seamless, sun-kissed glow that looks completely natural.
Best for: Golden, peachy, and warm-olive undertones; a "born with it" copper look.
Styling: Warm-toned makeup (bronzer, terracotta blush) completes the harmony; keep hair glossy to echo the skin's glow.
Ask your stylist: Golden and amber copper reflects; avoid cherry or burgundy undertones, which can clash with warm skin.
32. Dark Copper for Cool Skin Tones
Cool undertones can absolutely wear dark copper — the trick is choosing shades with wine, cherry, or cranberry depth rather than golden-orange. These cooler-leaning coppers complement pink undertones instead of emphasizing redness in the skin. The contrast is striking and elegant.
Best for: Pink and cool undertones; anyone told copper is "only for warm skin" (it's not).
Styling: Cool-toned blush and berry lips pair beautifully; keep the hair's red-wine depth consistent with a color-depositing conditioner.
Ask your stylist: Copper with wine/cherry reflects (not golden); do a strand test against your jawline to confirm the undertone harmony.
33. Dark Copper with Caramel Highlights
Caramel ribbons woven through dark copper hair add a soft, sweet contrast that keeps the color from reading too one-note. The caramel lightens the overall effect just enough for a sun-kissed finish — think copper meets golden hour. For more caramel inspiration, browse our caramel highlights ideas.
Best for: Softening dark copper; adding sun-kissed dimension; medium to long hair.
Styling: Loose waves or a half-up style show the caramel-copper interplay; the contrast is most visible in natural daylight.
Ask your stylist: Caramel highlights 2 levels lighter than the copper base, placed through the mid-lengths and ends; tone them warm-golden, never ashy.
34. Dark Copper Gloss Finish
Sometimes the shade matters less than the finish: a clear or copper-tinted gloss over dark copper hair creates a liquid, reflective shine that makes the color look twice as rich. Gloss treatments also seal the cuticle, which slows fading — the smartest maintenance move for any copper on this list.
Best for: Reviving faded copper between full color appointments; glass-hair shine; all hair types.
Styling: The gloss does the work — a simple blowout looks salon-fresh. Re-gloss every 4–6 weeks to maintain the mirror finish.
Ask your stylist: A demi-permanent copper gloss (no lift, just tone + shine); ask which at-home gloss they recommend between visits.
35. Dark Copper Peekaboo Two-Tone
For the bold: a hidden layer of bright copper (or even blonde) peeking out from beneath dark copper lengths. Wear it down for a subtle flash of contrast at the ends, or tie it up to reveal the full two-tone effect. It's playful, modern, and completely customizable.
Best for: Creative color lovers; long hair and ponytails (the reveal is the fun part).
Styling: High ponytails, buns, and braids show off the hidden layer; wear it down when you want the peekaboo to stay a secret.
Ask your stylist: An underlayer (nape to ears) in a brighter copper or copper-blonde, with the top layer in dark copper; the hidden section needs extra care since it's pre-lightened.
How to Keep Dark Copper Hair Vibrant
Copper is one of the fastest-fading color families — the warm pigments wash out quicker than browns or blondes. Protect your investment with these rules:
– Wash less, wash cool. Shampoo 2–3 times a week max, with lukewarm (never hot) water. Hot water opens the cuticle and lets copper pigment escape.
– Use color-safe, sulfate-free products. Sulfates strip warm tones fast. A shampoo and conditioner made for red/copper hair is worth every penny.
– Add copper back every wash. A copper color-depositing conditioner or mask once a week replaces the pigment that fading steals. This single habit doubles the life of your color.
– Gloss on schedule. A demi-permanent copper gloss every 4–6 weeks refreshes tone and seals in shine without damage.
– Shield from sun and heat. UV fades copper quickly — wear a hat in strong sun and always use heat protectant before hot tools.
– Go longer between full colors. With root melts, balayage, and gloss refreshes, most dark copper shades only need a full recolor every 8–12 weeks.
Dark Copper Hair FAQs
Is dark copper hair high maintenance?
Compared to brunette, yes — copper pigments fade faster than any other color family. But dark copper is the *lowest*-maintenance copper: the deeper base hides fading better than bright ginger, and techniques like root melts and balayage stretch appointments to 8–12 weeks. A weekly copper-depositing conditioner does most of the upkeep work at home.
What skin tone suits dark copper hair?
Almost all of them — it's about picking the right undertone. Warm skin glows with golden-amber coppers; cool skin suits wine and cherry-leaning coppers; neutral skin can wear nearly any shade on this list. When in doubt, hold the shade against your jawline in natural light before committing.
Does dark copper hair require bleaching?
Often, no — and that's one of its biggest advantages. On light to medium brown hair, most dark copper shades (level 5–6) can be achieved with permanent color and no bleach. Very dark or previously colored hair may need gentle lightening first. Lowlights and gloss-only techniques need no lightening at all.
How is dark copper different from auburn?
They overlap, but dark copper leans warmer and more orange-gold, while auburn leans deeper red-brown with wine undertones. Think of dark copper as the brighter, glowier sibling — it catches sunlight with a fiery shimmer, whereas auburn stays moodier. Many shades on this list (like deep auburn copper) deliberately blend the two.
Will dark copper hair suit women over 50?
Absolutely. The warmth of copper counteracts the sallowness that can come with age, bringing life back to the complexion. Choose a deeper, dimensional shade rather than a bright ginger, keep the style soft around the face, and you'll have a modern, flattering color at any age.
How long does dark copper hair color last?
With proper care, 6–8 weeks before a gloss refresh is needed, and 8–12 weeks before a full recolor. Copper-depositing conditioners, sulfate-free products, cool water, and minimal heat styling all extend the life of the color significantly.
Final Thoughts
Dark copper hair is that rare trend with real staying power: warm enough to flatter nearly everyone, deep enough to stay sophisticated, and versatile enough to work on every length and texture. Whether you go for a subtle copper brunette, a dimensional spicy copper, or a bold money-piece contrast, the key is choosing the undertone that harmonizes with your skin — and committing to the simple maintenance routine that keeps copper glowing. Save your favorite shades from this list, bring them to your colorist, and enjoy the compliments. There's nothing quite like the way dark copper catches the light.
