Forget cowgirl copper. This year it’s all about terracopper — terracotta meets copper — which is earthier and deeper than traditional copper shades we’ve seen previously. “[This] winter, it’s getting even more vibrant,” says Smith. Take inspiration from this shade on Z, posted to Instagram by award-winning afro and textured hair specialist Michelle Thompson.
“It’s not dark or really dense,” adds Smith. “It’s almost got a rose gold quality [to it] so it’s a really interesting shade, and it’s something that I think more people are going to be playing with.” It requires maintenance, though. Smith recommends investing in color-boosting conditioners or masks that contain red and copper tones to top up your hue. Try Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask, $40.50, available in various shades.
