CARAMEL

Hair type: While this colour works well on all hair types, caramel foils work particularly well on wavy or curly hair because they bring out the texture and dimension of the colour.

Complexion: Olive or neutral skin tones work well with golden and honey undertones; this colour also works for lighter skin tones, offering warmth. Those with darker skin tones should opt for delicate balayage, which offers varying degrees of lightness and depth.

Maintenance: An all over colour requires maintenance every six weeks, while balayage or a more lived-in caramel colour will last six to 10 weeks, depending on the colour and home haircare.

COPPER

Hair type: A good choice for most hair types. Copper accentuates the vitality of straight hair and adds shine to finer hair.

Complexion: Warmer copper tones lend warmth to a variety of complexion types, making it a fantastic choice for most skin tones, while golden and strawberry copper work best on lighter skin. Warm terracotta or deep sienna colours work well on darker skin tones.

Maintenance: You’ll need salon appointments every five to six weeks to maintain colour vibrancy – take home haircare is also essential.

Maintenance: As this colour is typically put over pre-lightened hair, it requires a lot of upkeep to prevent fading. Every four to six weeks it will require an all-over refresh.
