Strawberry Blonde Hair My Epic Journey Part 3 | Copper Chronicles

Every good story has become a trilogy. And now the GREATEST story ever told (ha!), about the different shades of red I have colored my hair, has a PART 3. The Copper Chronicles.

I typically like a more blonde shade of strawberry blonde for myself. My friend Anna, is a colorist based in Los Angeles. She pushed for me to try a light copper red shade, definitely more of a red than a blonde, which I like for winter.

My hair is 99% grey at this point, so my results will be slightly different than yours if you have no grey hair. Learn more

This came out PERFECT at first, it was the perfect coppery strawberry blonde shade. But it also did fade quickly, so by the end of 4 weeks it needed a red-pick-me-up.
