You've seen the shade on everyone from Kendall Jenner and Kaia Gerber to Sophie Turner, but the trend you'll be seeing all summer takes the copper hair colour to a new level. "A copper contour ties two huge 2022 trends together: copper and hair contouring," Smith says. "It's clear to see that there has been a great focus on all shades of copper, strawberry blonde, and auburn."
This look will add extra dimension woven throughout the hair to play with light and shade. "Replicating this with hair colour requires a bespoke approach to place complementary shades of copper, strawberry blonde, mahogany, and auburn throughout the hair based on the structure of the haircut," he says. "I love seeing lighter or brighter tones placed around the face and through the ends to replicate the effects of the sun on natural hair."
Even better? It works for all skin tones. "Copper hair is not just for those who are fair-skinned," celebrity colourist and Matrix expert George Papanikolas says. "This tone can be warmed up for golden skin tones or also cooled down to a more auburn copper."
