21 Fiery Copper Balayage Hair Styles to Rock in 2024 - Zohna (2024)

Do you have any interest in heating things up? Making things spicy?

First off, we’re talking about your hair; get your mind out of the gutter…or your belly!

The color copper in hair has gained traction in the online world. Your favorite celebrities like Kendal Jenner and Zendya have rocked copper hair at some point in the past two years. However, things are starting to heat up, and the copper shade is now also incorporated into balayage hair.

Copper balayage is an unreal and unique way of including some stunning brassy tones into the hair without dying the entire head. Balayage is a dye technique that seamlessly blends the shade of choice into your strands. Balayage starts lower on the hair shaft, whereas highlights begin close to the roots.

If you still need to be conceived, check out the list below for all the great qualities of balayage hair:

• Low maintenance
• Leaves hair healthier looking than opposed to highlights or dyed full hair
• Versatile
• Safe for pregnant women and people with allergies since the dye doesn’t touch your scalp
• The color is hand-painted onto the hair
• Color starts mid-shaft and gets denser the further down it goes

Balayage is a pretty exciting yet practical way to change things up with your hair. It doesn’t take too much time and won’t cause too much damage to the strand’s overall health, which is very important to some.

If you’re convinced that balayage will be your next hairdo, now we only need to persuade you that copper is the perfect shade. Check out the list below of all copper’s excellent characteristics:

• Warm toned
• Can lighten or darken hair
• Warms up your complexion
• Easy to maintain the vibrancy
• Lasts long in hair than other shades due to the red’s large particle size

Hopefully, now you aren’t only convinced to do balayage, but you are also convinced to do copper balayage. If we have won you over, check out all the types of copper hair you can choose from. Good luck picking one; they are all fantastic.

Copper Balayage on Dark Brown Hair

If you want to add some high contrast to your dark locks, we suggest giving copper balayage on dark brown hair a whirl. The dark and copper contrast each other beautifully, adding dimension and depth to your hair. This is great for thinner hair, making it look thicker and fuller.

If you aren’t into the copper color but like the idea of balayage, give ash brown balayage a try instead to elevate your brown locks.

Auburn Copper Balayage

This auburn copper balayage is a beautiful color for those looking to go for a natural look. Auburn copper is a color close to natural redhead hair. Some may even say it is similar to red balayage.

Bright Copper Balayage

Some of us like to make statements with our hair. This bright copper balayage is a way to make some noise. It’s vibrant and fun, perfect for people with similar personalities. However, keeping your hair this vibrant can be tricky.

Some things are worth investing in to keep your hair vibrant, such as:

1. Color-saving shampoo and conditioner
2. Heat protectant spray (for styling your hair)
3. Tomato juice

You may be thinking, did they accidentally combine their grocery list with a list of hair products? And no, we did not; we actually meant to put tomato juice there. If you have red hair or hair that falls within the umbrella of reddish hair, like bright copper balayage, soak your hair in tomato juice for about two minutes. The juice stains the cuticle and puts pigment back into the hair.

Dark Hair Copper Balayage

Dark hair copper balayage is a fantastic way to incorporate spice into your strands subtly. The dark copper blended with the dark hair melted into each other seamlessly. Dying your hair can sometimes be a lot of change and fast. However, choosing a route like this and a color that matches your base better than others will make a huge difference.

Brown Copper Balayage

We get that sometimes copper or other unnatural hair colors can look like a lot. If you feel this way, totally understandable. We suggest you try brown copper balayage. It’s still more of a brown balayage with undertones of copper to give it a unique twist.

This is an excellent place to start if you are interested in copper but are still determining how it will look. If necessary, you can start here and work your way up to a brighter copper.

Red Copper Balayage

If you are into the copper trend but feel like the color might be too orange for your complexion, this red copper balayage might be your best bet. The red will help to tone down the copper just the right amount. Make sure you got your tomato juice on hand for this one!

Copper Balayage on Black Hair

Rose Gold Copper Balayage

Rose gold copper balayage is like a muted tone of copper. It’s beautiful for redheads looking to add some lightness to their manes. It also resembles a strawberry blonde balayage, but just a hint more copper.

Light Copper Balayage

If you want to go for a light copper balayage, we aren’t going to stop you. In fact, we are going to encourage you. This stunning color looks very close to a blonde balayage or a caramel balayage, but if you look a bit closer, with the proper lighting, you can tell right away that it’s actually a light copper balayage.

How to do Copper Balayage

If you have decided that going to the salon isn’t work for you, we first want to start by wishing you luck. Doing copper balayage at home will be a challenging task, but we want to help you the best we can by providing you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to do copper balayage.

What tools you’ll need and why:

Step #1

Once you have selected the copper box dye you think suits your vision best, follow the instructions and mix the product into your tint mixing bowl.

Step #2

Using your hair clips, pin the hair into sections, starting at the bottom layer of hair and working up to the top layer.

Step #3

Dip your tint brush into the dye mix and wipe the excess on the lip of the bowl, so the brush isn’t packed with bleach. You want to use less product at the top section of hair. Grab a U-shaped section of hair that isn’t too dense.

Step #4

Angle your brush vertically as you work at the top of the u-shaped section of hair. Sweep the brush over the hair in downward strokes. As you get closer to the bottom of the hair strand, you can turn the brush horizontally to get more coverage. The top of the strand should have some natural hair showing and some bleached hair, while the bottom should be fully covered in bleach.

Step #5

Once you have coated the hair in bleach, leave the product on the recommended time on the box and wash it out.

Step #6

Once the bleach has done its job and lifted the natural pigment from the hair and it’s been washed out, it’s time to tone and get that copper color. Follow the box instructions to a T to ensure the best results.

Once you have completed all these steps and the steps on your box dye, wash your hair, style it how you like, and tada – you have copper balayage.
