Just in time for fall, there's a new hair color trend that has nothing to do with pumpkin spice!

Cowboy Copper Hair Color

Cowboy copper is the latest hair color trend that has everyone obsessed with the deep, leather-inspired color. Cowboy Copper is like a classic copper shade grounded with brown. It's definitely warm but never orange, and the transition works well on those with naturally dark brown or black hair. Looking to add a little life to your locks? Even if you've never ventured into the "reds" before, this coppery shade is an easy leap into the auburn shades without going full on redhead.

How to get Cowboy Copper?

To achieve this look, we might use a variety of techniques depending on where we start. Whether your hair is dark or light, we'll probably need to do an all over color followed by highlights and/or lowlights using either a balayage technique or foil highlights. As always, the key is nailing the right shades, and blending the colors seamlessly to create a natural look.

This client's hair was all natural hair, no previous color or lightening, so we were able to achieve this Cowgirl Red color with no bleach, only with color lift+deposit. We LOVE the results.

Reds and coppers do require extra care to keep hues vibrant. Be prepared to modify your shampoo and style routine at home. If you can follow these guidelines, your cowboy copper hair will look great for a long time:

• Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prevent fading
• Avoid washing your hair too often
• Use a weekly deep conditioning treatment. Hydrated hair holds color longer!
• Use a heat protectant product before using a blow dryer or hot tools
