I need help picking out my next hair color!

Hey everyone! I totally get your struggle with picking a new hair color for school – it's such a big decision, especially when you're dreaming of a vibrant copper shade. I've been there, staring at countless inspo pics, trying to imagine myself with deep red hair with highlights or dark brown hair with copper red highlights. Let's brainstorm some ideas! First off, for blonde and red hair styles, there are so many gorgeous routes! Have you considered red hair with blonde peekaboo? It’s such a fun way to add a pop without committing to full blonde, and it peeks through beautifully. Or, if you want something bolder, a full set of blond and red hair styles can really turn heads. I saw one look recently that combined dark hair with blonde and red highlights and it was absolutely stunning, giving a multi-dimensional effect that catches the light so well. For a more subtle, yet striking look, copper lowlights on dark brown hair can add incredible warmth and depth, especially as the leaves start to change. That Pumpkin Hazel shade from the OCR description sounds like an amazing, rich option if you're looking for something unique and autumnal – it looks so cozy and chic! Now, about that dusty purple you mentioned – oh, the joys of color correction! Getting purple over copper hair can be tricky, but definitely not impossible. From my own experience, don't rush straight into another color. You'll want to gently lift or neutralize the purple first. Some people swear by clarifying shampoos, sometimes mixed with a little baking soda, to help fade unwanted tones. For more stubborn purple, a gentle color remover might be necessary, but please be super careful and maybe even consult a professional, especially since you're aiming for a warm copper next. Copper tones can sometimes struggle to cover blue/purple undertones completely, so getting a clean canvas is key for that perfect ginger peekaboo hair or any copper look you desire. Once you achieve your dream copper, remember it needs some love to stay vibrant! Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners are a must. Also, consider color-depositing masks or conditioners specific for red/copper hair to refresh the shade between salon visits. And don't forget heat protectant – it's a lifesaver for colored hair.
