Ready to switch up your hair color with a stunning copper shade? There are several shades of copper to choose from that will flatter your skin tone and style. Whether you prefer a subtle glow or a bold statement, these copper hair color ideas will help you to take the leap and transform your locks into a copper hairstyle you’ll absolutely adore.

1. Vibrant Auburn Copper

Here’s a lovely copper shade that is bold without going full red – super wearable but still packs a punch. It looks stunning on medium to thick hair that can hold the richness without fading too fast. Ask your stylist for a saturated auburn base with copper gloss over it to keep the tone fiery, not brassy.

2. Deep Ginger Copper

The tone here sits somewhere between deep red clay and fresh paprika, which makes it feel grounded but not dull. This ginger copper blends well on cool, warm, or neutral skin – it pulls out that natural glow. Consider using a color-safe hydrating mask once a week to keep the ginger from going flat.

3. Warm Cinnamon Copper

Try a copper shade with a cozy, spiced-up feel that leans reddish but still looks natural with golden tips. It’s great for medium skin tones and blends well with soft curls or waves. Try it with a root touch-up spray/product if you want to stretch your time between visits to the salon.

4. Bright Penny Copper

Get a fresh-from-the-mint shine with this vivid, warm copper shade. As you can see above, it looks great on straight or blunt cuts where you really want that shimmer to show. Ask your colorist for a copper with extra gold and orange mixed in.
