Copper hair is one of the season's most coveted hair colors. And heading into fall, there's one tone, in particular, that has the internet on fire — cowboy copper. This hue is gorgeously luxe but still low-key, and we’re here to explore the trending hair color on everyone’s fall mood board. 

What is cowboy copper?

Cowboy copper or cowgirl copper is a mid-weight copper and this season’s breakout trend. It's a rich balance between the timeless hue of Western leather and the modern-day copper redhead. Falling more on the brunette side, cowboy copper’s bold shade is not as vibrant as traditional ginger, making it perfect for those who want a change but are scared of intense orange tones. Think rich and buttery caramel tone that falls midway between brunette and redhead.

Who can wear cowboy copper?

Natural brunettes and reds will have no trouble achieving a variation of cowboy copper *obvi* as the warm shade thrives on those underlying pigments. However, copper is one of the most universal hair colors and looks good on just about everyone. Unlike a vibrant red, this tonal shift of copper is more muted, and nearly anyone can wear it thanks to its harmonizing undertones. 

How is the upkeep for cowboy copper hair?

Falling a bit more on the brunette side, cowboy copper’s bold shade is not as vibrant as traditional ginger, making it a bit lower maintenance than a red copper blend.
