Copper hair has been having more than just a moment recently and we love that it is once again right at the forefront! Here at the best salon in the West End, Rokstar, our amazing team are colour experts, and we are masters at creating the perfect red shade for every skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.
Contrary to what you may think, copper is actually one of the most flattering hair colours and can suit most skin tones. You might have seen the AW23 runways featuring lots of bright neon red hair, but that’s not what we are talking about for this timely trend. In real life, opting for copper is easier to maintain and carries a more grown-up appeal yet it still feels unique and expressive.
The latest to jump on board with their own take? Kerastase’s own poster girl Emily Ratajkowski has just entered her redhead era.
The model, author and podcast host revealed her red hair transformation on Instagram with the caption “Gone red”. Gone are her previously brunette tresses and she now has a warm touch of burnt copper. We love this look as it features brighter tones along the lengths of the hair while keeping the colour deeper on the roots, which makes for a low-maintenance way to embrace going red, especially for those with a darker natural colour.
As we finish up winter, this is also a stunning way to warm up and experience a red shade, with the opportunity to play around with lightning as we head towards summer. Going red for summer is a great way for brunettes to switch up their hair colour – the sunlight will also pick up the subtle, lighter tones in your hair – without committing to a full-on bleaching process.
The key with the best copper hair is to maximise shine so it doesn’t end up looking dull and faded, so you want to work with colour-protecting products that will bring it to life.
Our best hairdressers in Brisbane, and Em Rata herself, recommend the Kerastase Chroma Absolu range to maximise your shade for as long as possible.
