Autumn is upon us, and with it comes the irresistible charm of "Cowboy Copper." At Simply Hair, we believe in celebrating the changing seasons, drawing inspiration from the mesmerising transformation of nature. As the trees shed their summer greenery and don vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, it's impossible not to be captivated by the gifts of Mother Nature.
Copper hues have always held a special place in October's colour palette. This year, the spotlight is on "Cowboy Copper," a shade that embodies the warmth and vibrancy of the season. At Simply Hair, we pride ourselves on using Redken Colour Gels and Shades EQ, ensuring that we bring out the true essence of this trending cowboy copper colour.
Here are our top tips on maintaining this season's hottest trend
The Fade Factor
We all know that, over time, colours fade. The sun, with its relentless UV rays, is not just harmful to our skin but can also be detrimental to our hair. Surprisingly, some Octobers can be sunnier than the dog days of August. To protect your colour investment, consider adding a stylish hat to your wardrobe – it's your hair's best friend.
However, we understand that each canvas is unique. If your hair is naturally blonde, applying copper directly might lead to a swift colour fade. To ensure your cowboy copper shines brightly, we recommend the following process:
K18 Treatment:
Start with a K18 treatment to remove any mineral or metal build-up in your hair. This sets the foundation for a longer-lasting colour.
Pure Copper Infusion:
Next, we'll use Shades EQ to infuse a pure copper tone, restoring the warmth that's often lost when transitioning to lighter shades.
Rich Copper Finish:
Once the foundation is set, we'll layer on a richer, deeper copper to achieve the perfect tone
Caring for Your Copper
In the initial days after your colour treatment, gentle care is the key to maintaining the brilliance of your "Cowboy Copper" hair. Here are some essential tips:
Reduce Wash Frequency:
Restrict washing to once or twice a week, and avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours.
Use the Right Products:
When you do wash your hair, use tepid water and our professional Redken Colour Extend Magnetics shampoo and conditioner or Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner, specially designed for colour protection.
Limit Heat Styling:
To preserve your colour, minimise the use of heat styling tools. Excessive heat can hasten colour fade. If you do opt for styling tools, consider the ghd range, which includes heat protectors like "Bodyguard" to ensure your hair remains vibrant.
