What To Expect With "Cowboy Copper" Hair (Or Red Hair In General)

Reds and coppers have been extremely popular hair colors lately, and I think they are absolutely gorgeous and flattering on every skin tone. However, they can be a little more complicated than blonde or brunette tones. Here's what you need to know before you join the Cowboy Copper hair trend:

It's hard to maintain, but even harder to remove

Consider how committed you are to this hair color. Especially if you’re currently blonde, going back from red will be VERY difficult, time consuming, and expensive. If you aren’t sure that you want to keep it long term, I suggest going with a demi permanent option first. This will fade faster and require more maintenance, but it will be easier to reverse when you’re ready for a change.

Ditch the light colored towels and pillow cases

Red colors bleed a lot when wet, so if you have white towels and/or pillow cases, be prepared to possibly stain them.

It might not look EXACTLY like your inspiration photo

All colors look different depending on the lighting, but ESPECIALLY reds. It will look super vibrant in the sun and a lot darker inside. So don’t freak out if it doesn’t look exactly like your inspiration picture at all times.

You're going to instantly feel like a glowing goddess

I have yet to see a single person that doesn't look good with some tone of red/copper hair. It immediately warms up your complexion! If you're not sure if it will suit you, make sure to have a thorough consultation with your hairstylist, so they can choose the right red/copper tone. Some people suit a lighter, more orange red, others look better with a deeper, richer red. But either way, I swear there is a version of this color trend that can work on anyone.
