“Change is in the hair,” says Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love. And no color is blazing a hotter trail than sizzling burnt-copper – a look that’s totally on FIRE right now. “These new copper tones are different from what we normally see trending; they have a natural feel to the copper vs the vibrant copper we are used to.” Today, Larisa’s talking all about this scorcher of a look; and offering up not one, but four different formulas to try.

The burnt-copper trend: Let’s get into it…

✩ It’s more than just “red hair”: The golden intensity of this copper is unique, allowing you to showcase your personality and stand out from the crowd, says Larisa.

✩ The proof is in the paparazzi: “Celebs are wearing variations on this color so much now. And because of that, many people who were formerly afraid to go darker and brighter are now taking the plunge, and confidently jumping into a whole new statement of a look,” she explains.

✩ Be careful not to go too light: “For burnt-copper, it must not be any lighter then level 8. Add more neutral tone to the color to avoid making it extremely vibrant.”

✩ Don’t forget the key words: “You must ask your colorist to make you very “warm” and “golden.” Copper looks are extremely rich in tone, and gold is a must.”
