When it comes to summer hair trends, ‘babylights’ and ‘lowlights’ have long been the go-to for city dwellers looking to create the illusion of a beach babe glow. While bronde hair – in all its varied incarnations – was the hair colour of 2018, the new year is already shaping up to be all about copper hair.
We’ve already started seeing strawberry blonde and copper-toned tresses popping up all over social media and it’s the colour du jour of it-girls Lara Worthington, Zoey Deutch and Kate Bosworth. If you’re wary of looking “ranga” then it’s worth noting that copper isn’t simply red or orange hair. It’s a cool-toned multi-dimensional hue which makes blue eyes look brighter and gives skin an ever so subtle glow. In fact, Hollywood stylist George Papanikolas has already dubbed copper the hottest hair trend of the year. “Red and copper tones are going to make a strong statement this season,” he tells Refinery29.
