Copper Highlights FAQ's
Why choose copper highlights?
Copper highlights are usually the choice of client when they seek a point of difference or to modernise an existing copper colour whether natural or otherwise. Whether you are looking for a soft copper or a mixture of more fiery coppers, they range of options all you to work with your stylist to compliment your hair colour, skin and eye colour. If you love copper hair and want to explore all options including highlights, check out this post on copper hair colour. Here’s why copper highlights are worth considering:
- Dimension: Adding highlights, rather than opting for a full head of copper, allows for a more dimensional and natural look. Highlights give movement and depth, which can help to brighten up your face.
- Low Maintenance: In truth highlights aren’t the most maintainable form of hair colour however they are by no means the least maintainable either. Highlights sit somewhere in the middle, embracing a colour choice which is softer against your regrowth will support the frequency of appointment.
Can you have more than one shade of copper?
Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of copper highlights is that they can be adjusted to your preferences. This includes lifestyle, anticipated frequency of appointment, ongoing maintenance, what you want them to look like, skin colour, and what you like. A typical client opts for between one and three colours for a softer multi-tonal look. That being said, if you are hesitant about a full transformative look, a t-section might be the first natural step. Here’s how multiple shades can work:
- Light Copper: Light coppers can be very fiery. They are punchy so if you want the attention of a room, light coppers are for you! That being said, if you want to choose up to three shades, you can still look edgy but soften the copper with other complimentary shades to reduce the sharp copper. If you’re looking for that softer look, light copper highlights alongside a darker tone offers a perfect blend.
- Deep Copper: Deep copper highlights add richness and warmth. More noticeable under favourable lighting, subtle yet beautifully elegant, darker copper tones blend beautifully for a gorgeous look.
- Golden Copper: For clients seeking a glossy effect, golden copper shades are ideal. They add a golden glow to the hair.
- Mixing Shades: The most popular and recommended choice is a combination of colours to soften the regrowth and overall blend of the hair. Don’t feel like you need to settle for one colour, a combination of lighter and darker copper tones can create an amazing multi-dimensional look. This is much more effective if you seek a more natural look.
How can babylights work with copper?
Babylights translate as softer, more delicate highlights. These are designed to mimic more natural looking highlights that you often see in your hair when you are younger. How babylights work with copper highlights:
- Soft transition: Traditional highlights are chunky and applied to bigger sections. Babylights are applied to smaller sections for a more blended look. Babylights are your ‘go-to’ for a natural look.
- First time: If you’re new to highlights, go for babylights. In many ways you can’t really go wrong with babylights, the form of application. It then comes down to your choice of colour above all else.
- Regrowth: Babylights grow out more subtly than traditional highlights, meaning you can go longer between salon visits without worrying about harsh lines or visible regrowth.
Will I suit copper highlights?
Copper highlights are a stunning choice for many women, but how do you know if they’re the right fit for you? Here are a few factors to consider:
- Skin tone: Happily copper colours compliment most skin tones insofar as there is an option for most. The key is to work with your stylist to achieve the tone or tones that work best with your skin complexion.
- Fine hair: Regardless of hair texture copper highlights are relatively universal, however they particularly benefit fine hair giving the illusion of greater volume. Not sure why? Here’s some benefits as to why highlights can benefit fine hair.
Conclusion
Copper highlights are a stunning way to modernise your hair adding warmth, dimension, and vibrancy to your existing hair colour. Whether you’re opting for soft babylights or mixing multiple shades of copper, it’s all about finding the right shade and technique for you. Your stylist will be able to support, particularly as they will be able to better understand your hair type, colour pallettes, what can work with your style goals and how copper highlights can achieve what you’re setting out to do.
