Why Cowgirl Copper is Taking Over TikTok

Charlie Milz Hair & Beauty • 5 October 2023

As the seasons shift, so do the hair colour trends, and one hue that's galloping into the spotlight is the Cowgirl Copper. This striking shade has been gaining popularity in recent times, becoming the choice of many looking for a fiery, yet sophisticated look. So, what exactly is Cowgirl Copper, and why is it becoming the “mane” attraction in the world of hair colour?

The Allure of Auburn

Cowgirl Copper is a captivating blend of fiery red and rich copper tones. It's a hue that exudes warmth and confidence, getting its name thanks to being reminiscent of the rugged yet charming spirit of the Wild West. This striking hair colour boasts an array of shades within its spectrum, from soft, natural copper to bold and vibrant red undertones.


The result is a colour that can be tailored to complement a wide range of skin tones, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a bold change.

Achieving the Look

The journey to achieving Cowgirl Copper can vary based on your starting hair colour. Those with light to medium blonde hair may find it easier to transition, while brunettes might require a few sessions with a professional (and well-trained) colourist to reach their desired shade. Achieving Cowgirl Copper sometimes involves lightening the hair and then adding the copper and red tones to create depth and dimension.


While some adventurous souls may attempt this transformation at home, we highly recommend consulting with a professional. A skilled stylist will help you find the perfect shade of Cowgirl Copper to suit your unique features, ensuring a result that's not just stunning but also tailored to you.

Trending Now and Beyond: Cowgirl Copper for Autumn

Cowgirl Copper is undoubtedly having its moment, and it's a trend that's expected to continue well into the autumn season. As we bid adieu to the scorching summer months, this warm and inviting ginger hue aligns perfectly with the changing leaves and cosy vibes of fall. 


Imagine your hair radiating with the fiery hues of autumn leaves, creating a striking contrast against those cozy sweaters and scarves.



This autumn, we predict a further surge in the demand for Cowgirl Copper as more people embrace the change in seasons with a change in hair colour. Whether you're sipping pumpkin spice lattes or enjoying the crisp air, your Cowgirl Copper locks will be the perfect accessory to complete your autumn look.

Redheads Are Having Their Day

Redheads have always had a unique allure, and now more than ever, they're having their moment in the beauty spotlight. Cowgirl Copper, with its stunning red undertones, celebrates the beauty of ginger hair in all its forms. It's a colour that lets redheads shine even brighter and allows those who've always dreamed of being redheads to experience the magic.


The appeal of red hair lies in its rarity, as only around 1-2% of the world's population naturally has red locks. With Cowgirl Copper, anyone can embrace the stunning red hair trend, joining the ranks of iconic redheads throughout history. And thanks to a huge surge in people colouring their hair this shade on TikTok and Instagram, many more are following in influencers footsteps and transforming their locks.

Maintenance Tips for Cowgirl Copper

Maintaining the vibrancy of Cowgirl Copper requires some TLC. Here are a few tips to keep your fiery mane looking its best:


Use Colour-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner
Invest in products specifically designed for colour-treated hair to maintain the richness of your Cowgirl Copper shade. In the salon, we use Matrix.


Limit Heat Styling
Excessive use of heated styling tools can cause your colour to fade faster. Opt for heatless styling methods when possible, and always use a heat protectant when styling with heat.


Regular Touch-Ups
Keep your Cowgirl Copper looking fresh with regular touch-up appointments at your salon to help prevent unwanted fading and maintain the vibrancy of your hue. Although a dragged root does sometimes help this colour pop, depending on your natural regrowth.

Say Yee-Haw to Cowgirl Copper

Whether you're a natural redhead looking to enhance your shade or someone ready to embrace the draw of ginger locks, Cowgirl Copper is a trend that's here to stay. With proper care and the expertise of a skilled colourist, you can enjoy the radiant beauty of Cowgirl Copper all year round. So saddle up and let your hair do the talking as you embark on this exciting hair colour journey.
