Copper hair isn't only gorgeous, but it has some major emotional ties too. Orange is the base of copper, and it can bring on feelings of warmth, happiness and positive energy. Anna Peters (@annas_hair_retreat), Sam Villa ArTeam Member, brought the good vibes to one of her California clients, taking her from a heavily highlighted blonde to this rich, spicy, copper red. Here, she shares the formula. If you want to add an extra punch of copper, try incorporating face framing highlights of a more vibrant bright copper or add a ¼ oz. Redken Hi-Fusion Orange to your base color for extra vibrancy, she adds.
