Copper Ombré Hair Inspo: 10 Ideas for Any Hair Type

The only copper highlight inspiration you need.

Not everyone is into blonde highlights or a blonde ombré. For some people, the look can be too dramatic and create a very weird contrast against a dark base. Thankfully, there are plenty of other hair colors to choose from that help brighten your look and update your hair, like copper ombré.

The Best Copper Ombré Styles to Update your Haircolor

The brownish-reddish highlight works for just about any hair color and style. Use it to brighten up a black or dark brown base, or get a few copper ribbons to heighten the look of your wavy hairstyle. No matter your reason for getting copper highlights this season, we’ve got some inspiration for you below:

1. Copper Curls

Adding copper highlights to your curls helps add dimension and brightens up your overall look. Pair it up with a reddish-brown base for a more dramatic effect.

2. Copper Ombré on Auburn Hair

Auburn and copper create the perfect mix.

These sun-kissed highlights complement an auburn base. Keep this color vibrant by washing with a color-safe shampoo and conditioner duo like TRESemmé Botanique Color Vibrance & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. Style the look with bouncy curls to create a fun and exciting look.

3. Copper Balayage

Balayage creates a more natural effect.

If you’re going after a look that feels more natural, skip the ombré and go for the balayage technique. This is a great option for those with a super dark base.

4. Copper on Brown Hair

Copper is a great color if you’re looking to lighten up brown hair. Ask your stylist for a few ribbons of copper to frame your face and add dimension to your hair.

5. Copper Curly Tips

A touch of color at the very ends of your hair.

You can probably get away with recreating this look at home since it’s so simple. Grab some box dye and paint the very ends of your hair to get this dip-dyed effect. If you dye on your own, remember that a hair mask is crucial to keep your strands soft. Use Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter & Rose 2-Minute Magic Masque to bring your strands back to life.

6. Copper Highlights On Chocolate Hair
