5 Celebs Who Have The Copper Hair Trend Down To A Science
Copper has been used as currency since the days of ancient coins, and now it's cashing in as the hottest hair trend in Hollywood. Fun, energetic, and certainly daring – in recent seasons, it's the shade that refuses to be overlooked. Not only is the vivid color a guaranteed compliment magnet, it also wins in versatility. Sleek and straight, or voluminous and curly, copper seems to suit everyone. It works all year round, too. Warm undertones bask beautifully under the summer sun, whilst also mirroring the autumnal palette of fall foliage. Come winter, copper can add a welcome cozy warmth to frosty days, and in spring, it can feel fresh and revivifying. With this in mind, it's no wonder copper has become a favorite among celebrity trendsetters. Even though some variations have taken hold — amber hair briefly replaced the copper trend in 2023 — the rich, penny-colored hue remains a popular color in 2024.
The results speak for themselves. We have loved seeing the fiery hair transformations of some of our favorite stars. And when it comes to making a statement, these famous faces have proved that copper is truly worth its weight in gold.
