Hate to break it to you, but summer is winding down *sobs*. But one of my favorite things about the changing seasons is that it gives me an excuse to switch up my hair color. The one shade I’ve seen all over my Insta feed and am dyinggg to try? Copper hair—it’s the ultimate hair color trend for fall, in my ~humble~ opinion. So if, like me, you’re down to change your look or you just need some new inspo, I’ve scrolled through my feed to give you the 20 best copper hair ideas you’re going to want to try ASAP.

If you’re not down to dye your entire head, try this copper hair color from the mid-lengths to tips only. Don’t forget to lather up with a sulfate-free shampoo—it won’t strip your color.

Add some sparkle to your copper hair color with a bedazzled hair clip. It’s subtle but still super cute. Spray your hair with a flexible hairspray to keep flyaways at bay.

Give your deep-copper hair some body and dimension by adding curls at the ends. Spritz on a shine spray afterward to give it a glossy look.

Go for a laid-back “I woke up like this” look with this simple and pretty wavy copper lob. Don’t forget to deep-condition your copper hair once a week to make sure your hair stays healthy and your color stays bright.

The side bangs give copper hair cool ’70s vibes. Pro tip: Invest in a teeny-tiny hair straightener to tame flyaways and smooth your bangs.

If you’re down to go bold with your color, why not go bold with the cut? This copper pixie is a bomb look to rock any time of the year. For a more slick look, work a shine-inducing oil through your copper hair.

Take some copper hair to your braider and have them whip up these fire copper box braids. Swirl your edges into a cute design with a non-flaky edge control.

Take another page out of Kim K.’s book (what can I say? the girl has great hair ideas) with this modern bob. Accessorize your copper hair by adding a few silver bobby pins on each side of your head.

I mean, how cute is this copper bob? If you’re between washes and your bangs are starting to get a little greasy, spray on dry shampoo to refresh them.

I love the idea of styling copper hair in beach waves. It’s super easy to do—just spritz on a salt spray and scrunch up your hair to define it.

Give your copper hair some body by pulling the top into a ponytail, then adding waves to the underneath layers with a curling iron.

A fishtail braid is one of those looks that’ll probably never go out of style, and I totally understand why. Look how fire it looks with copper hair! Add in some texturizing spray before you start braiding—it’ll give you more grit and hold when braiding.

Throw your copper hair up into a sleek bun to give off some major classy vibes. Slick your hair down with hair gel and secure your look with a hair tie and bobby pins.

To get this super-romantic copper hair look, mist on a heat protectant spray, use a wand to make pretty bends, and then give yourself a deep side part and sweep your copper hair over your shoulder.

Sleek, simple, and super chic—this copper bob is the perfect everyday look. Smooth on a flexible hair gel to keep your copper hair laid.

Okay, so, this may not be the easiest look to recreate (you may need to grab a friend for help), but isn’t it so dreamy? Once you have your copper hair braided up, secure it with bobby pins.

This bold and vibrant copper hair color isn’t for the faint of heart. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, go for it. Just make sure you do a hair mask once a week to keep the color (and your hair) looking fresh.

Trick people into thinking you spent 30 minutes on your hair when you actually spent 5 with this low bun. Tie it up at the nape of your neck and layer on a smoothing serum to give your copper hair some shine.

Got long copper hair? This is going to be your new go-to look—and I promise it’s a lot simpler than it looks. Throw your hair into a low ponytail and then tie on a scarf—easy.
