Honeycomb Copper Will Be the PSL of Hair Colors This Fall

As the pumpkin spice latte makes its grand return to Starbucks, it’s time to look forward to the latest hair trends that will make us feel cozy and autumnal. One color that’s making waves this season is honeycomb copper, and we’re here to give you the lowdown on what it is, who it’s for, and how to get it.

What is Honeycomb Copper Hair Color?

Honeycomb copper is a copper gold hair color with brighter pops of the same tone to illuminate the sparkle in the tone and avoid one flat color. This look is perfect for anyone wanting to spice things up and add some fun warmth to their hair. According to celebrity colorist Chase Kusero, “It’s a fun, vibrant color that mirrors the fall leaves, making it seasonally appropriate and eye-catching.”

Who Would Look Good with Honeycomb Copper Hair?

This look is for anyone with fair to medium skin tones, especially those with green or blue eyes. However, as celebrity colorist Adara Forletta notes, “This trend looks exceptional on those with fair to medium skin tones, especially with green or blue eyes.” Madison Reed master colorist and lead educator Shvonne Perkins adds that this shade is easier to attain for blondes or light, super-highlighted medium brunettes.

What to Ask for in the Salon to Get the Honeycomb Copper Look

When seeking this color at the salon, be specific and ask for a copper blonde rather than a copper brunette or a true copper red. Perkins notes that you need to be specific and ask for a permanent color to get the copper base, followed by a balayage highlight application strategically placing highlights to frame the face, crown, and natural part. Finish with a sheer warm toner, like Matrix Tonal Control, to blend the look.

Maintenance and Variations

The all-over base color will require a bit more maintenance, but Forletta notes that you can achieve a lower-maintenance version by adding some coppery highlights and lowlights to your natural hair color for depth and dimension. If you want to try the look without fully committing, Perkins recommends the new Madison Reed ColorWonder Demi-Permanent Hair Color in “That’s So Fire” ($34).

Conclusion

Honeycomb copper is a vibrant and fun hair color that’s perfect for fall. With its warm, golden tones and brighter pops of color, it’s a great way to add some excitement to your hair. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic change or just want to spice up your existing color, honeycomb copper is definitely worth considering.
