Copper Boom
Who Can Pull It Off: Fair skin tones look best with copper hair color. The deeper your skin tone, the richer you want your copper tone to be.
What to Ask For: Copper hair color is extremely easy to manipulate, so if you don't get the right tone the first time around (i.e. it looks too warm for your pale skin), just ask for the color to be brightened. "You can't be afraid to speak up," says Petroff. "We don't get offended. We want you to get the color you want."
Beware Of: While over-washing your hair and overexposure to sun can certainly fade red hair colors, Petroff says wind and oxygen are actually the number one cause behind fading hair color. To tide you over between treatments, try a color gloss like John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss and use sulfate- and silicone-free shampoos.
