iIf you're one to lose a few hours scrolling through photos of beautiful hair colors on Instagram, join the club. I did the same for approximately six months, trying to decide whether to take the plunge and dye my hair one of the hottest trending shades of the moment: copper. As seen on Lily James, Kendall Jenner, Megan Fox, and so many more, red hair is very popular at the moment. But it wasn't just the photos of stunning copper hair with highlights that convinced me to go for it; I researched the process, aftercare, and upkeep as if it were major surgery. It's no secret that dyeing your hair a completely different hue than your natural shade can be daunting. Exciting, but definitely daunting. There's a lot to consider.
Not only do you need to take into account the price of getting your hair dyed, you also need to consider the maintenance, the perfect shade for your skin tone, and how to adapt your beauty routine to suit your new hue.
Of course, there is no right or wrong when it comes to deciding on a new hair color, but if you want to make a copper hair color work for you, you've come to the right place. We asked the experts to give us the lowdown on how to nail the copper hair-color trend. Read on for the ultimate guide not just to going copper, but to everything that happens after you leave the salon, too.
