The copper hair trend is taking 2024 by storm, and it's all thanks to TikTok. This fiery shade, once a niche choice, is now set to become one of the year's most sought-after looks.
Celebrities like Sophie Turner and Emma Stone have been spotted rocking the shade, giving it mainstream appeal. But it's the platform's viral transformations that have truly propelled copper into the spotlight.
Why Copper Hair is Everywhere
Salons across the UK are reporting a surge in requests for copper tones. The shade's versatility – working beautifully on both fair and dark bases – makes it a universal favourite.
Hair experts note that copper offers a perfect middle ground: warmer than blonde but more vibrant than brunette. It's particularly flattering for those with warm or neutral skin tones.
How to Get the Look
For those ready to take the plunge, colourists recommend:
- Consulting with a professional to find your perfect copper tone
- Using colour-protecting shampoos to maintain vibrancy
- Toning down brassiness with purple shampoo (used sparingly)
At-home colourists should look for dyes labelled 'copper' or 'auburn', with leading brands already seeing increased demand for these shades.
The TikTok Effect
Hashtags like #CopperHair and #GingerTransformation have amassed millions of views, with users documenting their dramatic before-and-after results. The trend shows no signs of slowing down as we head deeper into 2024.
Whether you're after a subtle copper gloss or a full fiery transformation, this is one trend that's worth the hype.
