How to Dye Your Hair Copper Red (the perfect 'Cowgirl Copper')

[@luzdivine7]

I had been looking for the perfect copper color and will look no further. Thank you for sharing the formula. I now color my hair at home. People compliment me on my hair color, thanks to you.

[@tiffanynoelle4869]

You don't need foil for red hair. A highlift red with a 30v or 40v would work. I suggest this for your regrowth. Also I would use a semi permanent color such as adore or whichever you want to refresh your color in between touch ups. Red is hard to keep vivid because the pigments are so large and it's hard to penetrate hair. Also make friends with dry shampoo and don't shampoo everyday because your color will fade fast. Hope this helps.

[@mollykatecline]

Huge help!! Dry shampoo is my best friend. And good thing about the foil because I am noooot good at using it! Lol

[@Freeazabird]

Hi Tiffany, I hope you see this. In her video when she’s done with the bleach? It’s sorta that orangey blonde? That was my color. I than added red dye and girlllllll!!! My hair is cherry 🍒 LIGHT red!! Do you know how I could make it coppery? Can I ADD a brown over it?

[@visionsmagazineonlin]

That's so pretty! I add in Kiss semi permanent paprika to brighten up the cheap otc hair color. I deal with gray roots so I paint the roots with Kiss color til they get too grown out.

[@MK_1Ultra]

This is 💯 what I do for my red I also love the fading in the summer and usually don't refresh unless I add more of an orangey tone but winter is def more reddish

[@anneann9127]

Ion Color Brilliance is my all time favorite. I use the 20 volume or even the 10 volume. You do need to know that if using Color Brilliance on any shade, that it is always about two and sometimes three shades darker than what it shows on the swatch. It has great coverage even on gray hair, and really doesn't damage the hair. I also love their after color conditioner that comes in the little purple packs. Your color looks amazing!!

[@mollykatecline]

Thank you so much! And that’s sooo true…the swatches are always a tad lighter! Glad I’m not the only one to notice that :)

[@MsLessette]

I dye my hair this shade of red. My hair is a little darker than your natural hair you started with. I use the ion 8RC and 7RR and 30 vol developer and end up with the color you got at the end. Hope this helps.

[@GreenEyedEmber]

Thank you for this! I’ve been struggling with what to get

[@nayelyguzman8863]

When mixing bleach the developer determines time. The higher the number the less time you have to work with it but it never deactivates which means once you get to the level you want take a spray bottle with water spray and wipe to stop it from lightening. If you don’t it’ll just process without lifting and damage your hair. Developer in perm color is the lift level. The number equals levels lifted. Vol. 10 = 1; level 20 = 2 etc etc. hope someone finds this useful. Also if you are completely natural and just want a dark red, blue, violent use a Demi-permanent not semi but DEMI with 10 volume developer. It’ll lift just enough to give you a color tone while keeping your hair healthy and it’ll wash out.

[@brandic89]

Stunning! That color is perfect!!!

[@marialopresto2976]

Provana hi lift 40 volume light red copper blonde. It made my black hair red without bleach

[@cloud9296]

Thank you so much this helped me SO much. I've searched hoursss for a video like this to decide if I need bleach. Ty ty ty

[@michellewilson1657]

We all learn the hard way. Thank you for sharing. I want to go red as well and am not sure if I want to bleach either bc I dont want dried out red

[@WendyHuNanNZ]

Oh I see the final results are amazing

[@cat3wamp]

The most simple way is to use Nice N Easy 5RB for under hair and roots, and 6R for top layer.

[@dorism.5478]

First of all, I will start by commenting that you have beautiful hair, GOD bless 🙏🏼 The color turned out really good. Very complementary.

[@jocelynmccormack544]

your final result is exactly what i want for my hair! i also have a very similar hair color to yours at the beginning. what steps would you recommend to do the first time around without having to try 3x??

[@mollykatecline]

if I could go back and do this all over I would definitely bleach my hair first, and then for the dye I would mix 20 volume developer and Ion 8RC, 7RC and 7RR together in one bowl and call it a day☺ good luck!!! I think this color is soo pretty!!

[@breezybear1397]

your final red is gorgeous on you, you look so beautful. i had oppisitte im very light blonde and bought titian red and golden blonde and i got drab orange hair with pink ends , do i put revlon #45 bright auburn on the pik ,so then i got red parts with orange roots . ugg so then i just put on revlon #45 on my whole head and got super bright red hair. when it washes out i will try something else.

[@agustinavillegas4865]

Will i still get this same color if my hair is lighter than yours after bleaching?

[@kaitlynverdecchia4011]

My hair was wella 6r red terracotta mixed with wella 6rg copper and I went to refresh it the other day and accidentally grabbed 5rg light auburn and it’s kinda the same but a shade or so darker so I’m waiting for it to fade so I can go back lol 😭😭😭😭

[@mollykatecline]

Ahhh! Makes sense though…definitely learned that the lower the number, the darker!

[@meemmatt2557]

The piece that you could not know what it is: it is placed on the ear to protect it from entering the dye. Put it on your ear during dyeing.

[@mollykatecline]

Oh!!! That makes sense!! Thank you🥰

Why did they not advise you to try loreal hicolor hi lift at Sally beauty. Ypu could have been bright bright red without any bleach. Turned out beautiful tho. But I hate that they give so bad advice just to let people spend so much extra money.

[@Jackieb1989]

Can you please tell me What is the name of color from loreal hi lift thanks

[@wendyschlagwein5824]

@@Jackieb1989 they have several colors. I have used the copper but also the cherry red and the red. I like to mix them as well. In some country's its called loreal majicontrast hi color.

I’ve never heard of that! I might have to try it when the color fades.

[@dulcegonzalez9327]

That brand is so damaging to the hair.. is also a bitchhh to remove after.. coming from experience… I did red and after I spent times of money at a hair salon just for them to remove the red

[@wendyschlagwein5824]

@@dulcegonzalez9327 never did much damage to my hair. I always used it with 20 vol. The damage comes from using 40 vol. Not this dye. Red is always hard te remove. Whatever brand you use.

[@HealthyObbsession]

I’ve used the liquid color but I used the Sally brand developer last time I used a different one (ion) my scalp broke out. Which has never happened to me even when I bleached my hair with a Clairol Born Blonde Bleach box dye But yeah I’m with you wouldn’t use liquid color plus liquid developer Thanks for posting next time I would go for a 30 developer I have naturally dark brown hair I tend to bleach my hair month or two before I dye it a brighter color Other wise the color won’t show Thanks for posting and writing down the products you used it’s really helpful

[@CallMeGameGirl]

I had a similar but opposite problem. Mine turned out too bright haha. I'm being flexible coz I don't want to wait for shipping and no Sally's less than an hour and a half away has the color I'd prefer to mix in. So I'm kind of doing a loop around. And my brown hair was bleached to level 10 coz I was doing blonde a while. And so it's pretty porous. And I had my set dyes to use and I decided last minute to not add a brown to darken it, and I got the exact color I wanted but too bright lol. It looks good but not what I want. So now I'm getting the same colors but adding the brown so I get a nice deep copper red blend. Coz I got a level 7cr, and then 5r. But I just needed a brown to bring it down lol. I was just afraid it would get too dark without the brown since my hair is so porous. But I was right the first time. Oh well. Gonna get a level 4 warm brown and I think it'll be gorgeous and just what I want. Im only doing red coz I'm transitioning back to going natural brown, but wanna have some fun along the way but don't want something too bright.

[@brooklynray9536]

Update on how it turned out?

[@CallMeGameGirl]

@Brooklyn ray turned out how I expected it would! They didn't have the ginger color I wanted in stock that would have gotten me the color her hair was. Mine is like more bright feeling coz it has red mixed into it so it feels more vibrant. The best way I can describe it is her color but with a touch of red tone added. It's really nice!

[@audreynicole2245]

What volume did you use the last round??

[@ytchannel1682]

Love this color! I'm going to try this on my hair tomorrow! How long did you leave the bleach on?

[@mollykatecline]

No more than 20 min but I wish I did longer, I got nervous!

[@richardcrows7245]

The first round of you dying. It is my color I'm trying to look for. I'm looking more for a reddish brown hair color. That's more on the copper side

[@talaynaraae9544]

Did you use all three tubes of colour?! Like all of each of them or did you use more of one colour?

[@mollykatecline]

Yes! But I have really thick and long hair. If you’re hair isn’t as long, you might not need to use all of each color. It’s just important to use equal parts of each❤️

[@diegoreyes447]

The reason it the first time and second time didn’t work/was to dark is because you kept using the wrong hair level, the first time you used a level 5 and 6, you should have used a level 8 or 9 😅

[@diegoreyes447]

The final product is beautiful

[@mollykatecline]

That totally makes sense!! Lesson learned :)

[@cindyboatright7843]

Hey!! Looks amazing so I’m doing the same!! Started out just like you and did it and went darker just like you! Do you think if I get from the start the 3 last ones you tried with 40vol do you think it will lift like yours but just avoid the second attempt and jump straight to 3rd???

[@mollykatecline]

Yes but if your hair is dark, you’ll still need bleach! The 40vol alone won’t lift enough

[@marysolvargas5846]

I should of bleached my hair. I tried this and it didn’t work 😢

[@mollykatecline]

Yes I learned bleach is a must unfortunately:(

[@mrssixx7898]

What would happen if I don’t use the developer?

I’ve never tried it without developer, my guess is, the color wouldn’t be as vibrant or rich
