We are swooning over this stunning copper hair color. It might not be obvious to everyone, but it’s very likely that you would need to pre-lighten your hair to achieve this level of brightness.

6. Rich Auburn with Red Highlights
Even if you are lucky enough to have naturally red hair, you might still occasionally be longing for a change. While it would be a massive mistake to completely change such a gorgeous color, you can just get some highlights instead to add more dimension to your auburn locks.

7. Light Amber Locks
Girls with paler skin tones and light blue or gray eyes would certainly suit lighter shades of ginger. Consider trying a copper color toner first to see if you feel comfortable with this hue.

8. Strawberry Blonde
One of the most sophisticated shades of copper, strawberry blonde requires some effort to maintain. Often bleaching hair would be required prior to the color application which means the shade can fade fairly quickly. Using sulfate-free products and toning conditioner would help to keep the shine and brightness longer.

9. Blazing Red Balayage with Curtain Bangs
Deeper red shades are complimentary for those with olive skin tones and darker eyes. Some layers and face-framing bangs would make a softer, more feminine look.

Strawberry blonde looks especially flattering on those with fair complexions and while you may not be a natural redhead, this color is very worth considering. Ginger hair will liven up your features and bring attention to your eyes.

13. Burned Orange Balayage
Often too bright and vibrant colors can make you look washed out, true. If that is your case, try keeping the depth of your roots with a dark auburn shade and have plenty of accents with some brighter ginger highlights.

Copper and ginger hair tones are favorable to ladies with pink skin undertones. A brighter money piece area cut in the A-shape layers would frame your face and highlight your cheekbones.

21. Long Red Hair
Long ginger and red hair color require just as much effort as blonde if not more. The reason for it is that most natural hair would need to be bleached prior to color application to get that flawless vibrant shade. And as we all know, pre-lightened hair inevitably becomes drier and more fragile.
