Copper Blonde
A light warm blonde pushed toward orange, landing between a golden blonde and a true copper without going fully red.

In daylight the orange reads clearly and the ends look almost metallic; under warm indoor bulbs it flattens back toward a rich gold. Copper is the fastest of the red pigments to rinse away, so the shade loses saturation before it loses lightness and drifts toward a plain brassy blonde over six to eight weeks. Against the face it throws warmth back up onto the cheeks, which is either the appeal or the problem.
- Undertonewarm. Golden and olive skin absorbs it easily, while against a cool pink complexion the orange competes with the skin's own redness and the face can look flushed.
- Starting pointHair needs to be at a light brown level or lighter for the copper to read as copper, so anything darker than a medium brown wants a lift first; naturally light hair can often take it as a direct deposit.
- UpkeepPlan a copper-depositing conditioner every second wash and a full gloss around week six, with regrowth staying soft because the base level is not far from natural.
Try it before the bleach
