This is copper taken down several levels, closer to a chestnut with fire in it than to any bright ginger. Indoors it can pass for a warm dark brown, and direct light is what pulls the copper out of it. Being dark, it needs almost no lift on brown hair, and it fades gracefully, losing saturation well before it loses depth. Regrowth reads as a soft change rather than an obvious band.
- Undertonewarm. The heavy red-brown base sits well against olive, golden and deeper skin, where a brighter copper can read orange against the face.
- Starting pointMid to dark brown hair takes this in a single process with no bleach; black hair needs a couple of levels lifted before the copper is visible.
- UpkeepA copper gloss every six to eight weeks holds the tone, and since the depth sits close to most natural brown, the roots stay easy to live with between appointments.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Dark Copper against your own skin tone first.
