Coppery hairstyles are all the rage. Everyone from Rihanna to Keke Palmer and model Winnie Harlow has been seen hitting these streets in this glamorous coif look. However, did you know it can be a little tricky to maintain? Well, worry not if you wish to give this trend a go; in this article we are going to discuss several tips on how to preserve copper tone hair color.
First of all, one of your biggest enemies will be fading. This hair trend thrives and depends on vibrancy. So keeping your tresses looking as rich as possible is major key. Here’s how:
1. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair to prevent the premature fading of your radiant copper shade.
2. Minimal heat. Try using heatless techniques/styles on your hair to limit the amount of curling or straightening you’re doing.
3. Avoid piping hot water on wash day. Yes, it may feel good in the shower but it will not be good for copper hair. Therefore, try to wash hair at a cooler temperature than usual.
4. Additionally, it is generally also recommended to regulate the frequency of hair washing (generally no more than 2-3 times per week) even for permanent hair coloring techniques. Sorry to some of our fitness girlies!
5. Speaking of hair washing. If you want to give your copper hair an extra boost of vibrancy and maintain its intense hue between colorings, consider using color depositing shampoos and conditioners. These specialized products contain pigments that can refresh and intensify your hair color with every wash.
6. Lastly, consider applying a rich, creamy copper hair mask from root to tip. Allow the copper hair mask to sit between 5-20 minutes depending on desired intensity. And regardless of what products you use; to preserve the vibrancy of your copper hair, it’s crucial to invest in color-protecting hair care products.
How to Preserve Copper Tone Hair Color
So the above haircare list is just a bit of advice and guidance on how to be a coppery diva. But here’s a few more things to consider and remember. As previously mentioned this is HIGH MAINTENANCE high. You will have to work to keep it looking good. If that’s not for you and your style, you may want to opt for a different hue.
Copper is considered a high-maintenance shade because red tones tend to fade quickly; but the remaining dye will usually linger for a long time. You’ll need regular salon visits, usually every 6 to 8 weeks, to keep the color fresh. You can also use a color glaze for hair to keep your copper hue vibrant.
