16 Celebrities Who Got Into the Copper Hair Color Trend
Clients at hair salons used to often complain about copper hair color, which was typically caused by overgrown highlights or base colors that clashed with the bleach woven into their follicles. But this old hair mistake has become fashionable, much like many other hair problems from the past. And we’re sure that the trend is being driven by the recent surge of celebrities wearing the hue.
Here are 16 of our top celebrity examples wearing copper strands.
Serena Williams
Even with its reputation as a “high maintenance” hue, copper continues to remain popular with celebrities like Serena Williams. Nevertheless, Dorram informs us that “all shades of red hair color and copper hair color are highly volatile.”
Emily Ratajkowski
“I loved my recent transformation on Emily Ratajkowski,” Perry explains. “She’s such a cool and confident woman, and the color matched her personality.” We are totally in agreement.
Tessa Thompson
According to Dorram, copper hue is well-suited to all hair textures. Tessa Thompson’s beautiful copper natural curls amply demonstrate her argument.
Kendall Jenner
To get a desirable hue of copper like Kendall Jenner’s, there are no requirements. But before scheduling your appointment, speak with a colorist if you’ve had chemical treatments done on your hair in the past. “Hair that has been over-processed by too many chemical procedures may not take the color as evenly,” Dorram explains. “I always say, opt for no more than two chemical treatments, i.e., single process and highlights; highlights and keratin or straightener; highlights and permanents.”
Chrissy Teigen
Copper highlights like Chrissy Teigen’s are a terrific way to go longer between salon sessions. Regarding touch-up maintenance, Dorram states that you may go up to 12 weeks if you’re only doing highlights. “I generally say between four to six weeks for a single process, and if it’s a semi-permanent copper rinse, you could wait up to eight weeks but no further.”
Grace Van Patten
Perry advises using color-safe shampoo and color-depositing products as part of your at-home care routine in between treatments to maintain copper color as brilliant as Grace Van Patten’s. “My favorite products for this are Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo ($32) and Conditioner ($32), which help repair colored hair and protect against fading while reducing environmental impact,” said Perry. “Both products are packaged in bottles with 94 percent recycled plastic, and the shampoo is 93 percent biodegradable, reducing the impact on soil and waterways once rinsed off.”
Maude Apatow
Maude Apatow’s hue is quite warm because of the golden strawberry tone of her copper strands. Dorram advises using semi-permanent mixes of the same tone at various degrees periodically to get the required depth and color. “It will eventually last longer and will be less likely to fade,” she claims.
Megan Thee Stallion
Maude Apatow’s hue is quite warm because of the golden strawberry tone of her copper strands. Dorram advises using semi-permanent mixes of the same tone at various degrees periodically to get the required depth and color. “It will eventually last longer and will be less likely to fade,” she claims.
Gigi Hadid
Although Gigi Hadid seldom switches up her golden streaks, this rusty copper tone suits her well. “In my opinion, there’s a perfect shade of copper for everyone,” states Perry. “Reference photos [like this] are always great when searching for the perfect shade of copper.” Perry suggests looking for an inspiration that has your skin tone and eye color while searching the internet for pictures to show your colorist.
Ciara
While some of us are prepared to embrace the copper color shift, others may need to take it slowly in order to preserve the health of their hair. Ciara’s dimension is a great illustration of how to play around with adding copper highlights and lowlights if you’re not ready to go all in for whatever reason, according to Perry. “A gloss service, like as Redken’s Shades EQ, is an excellent place to start whenever possible. It offers amazing shine and conditioning and is vegan in formula.”
Sydney Sweeney
At-home care may make all the difference in getting your copper strands looking as bright and healthy as Sydney Sweeney’s. Selecting the appropriate conditioner will give your hair the silky, smooth finish of a closed, nourished cuticle, in addition to mild, sulfate-free shampoos that won’t remove the color. “An excellent conditioner won’t weigh the hair down,” Dorram states. “My favorite conditioner is Virtue’s Restorative Treatment Mask ($34).”
SZA
It’s difficult to believe SZA’s hair was ever any other color than copper given how amazing her copper curls look. I would be posing in bodegas too if my copper locks looked that amazing.
Megan Fox
Although Megan Fox has changed the color of her hair many times in the last year, copper hair has always appeared the most natural. “Celebrities who rock this hair color well are Jessica Chastain, Megan Fox, and Sophie Turner,” claims Dorram. She finds copper to be very attractive on them because it’s so similar to their natural foundation color; it brings out their best qualities.
Anitta
Copper highlights and lowlights abound in Anitta’s thick mane, which is giving us huge copper hair aspirations. When selecting a color as high maintenance as copper, take into account the density of your hair. “Fine hair tends to grow slower than thick hair, and the amount of grey hair will also affect how well the color holds,” Dorram explains.
Abigail Cowen
Find out whether your colorist can dye your eyebrows the same shade as your copper strands. A far more natural appearance, similar to Abigail Cowen’s, may be achieved even with the faintest copper hue.
Issa Rae
Remember that using too much product on your hair might cause it to become dry and gradually remove your color while styling your copper strands. “Try to sparingly use styling products [such as] hair sprays and mousse, which contain alcohol, because they will dull the copper color and leave hair looking and feeling dry and brittle,” Dorram advises.
