Cowgirl copper is an attractive shade that flatters all skin tones, thanks to its warm copper and brown tones which create an understated and more subdued hue than more prominent hues like red or auburn.
Ruiz and Elysa both advise bringing references photos when scheduling a color appointment, to assist the stylist in choosing tones that work for each client best. “This will enable your stylist to pick those which best complement you,” notes Ruiz.

At home maintenance requires color depositing shampoos such as OVERTONE Golden Copper Color Depositing Daily Conditioner for maintenance of this hue.
