Copper is autumn’s favorite filter. From bright cinnamon sparks to deep burnished reds and soft rose gold, these shades add warmth, shine, and instant dimension to every texture and length. Copper flatters a wide range of undertones, lights up curls and waves, and pairs beautifully with techniques like balayage, ombre, and face framing highlights. Save a few favorites, chat with your colorist about placement and upkeep, and choose a tone that complements your skin and your styling routine.
