This warm, golden hue sits somewhere between strawberry blonde and true red, according to DeBolt. “I love it because it makes skin look healthy in the fall, when most of us are losing our summer color,” he explains. “It also fades softly, so it still looks good six weeks out. In fact, this color is a great way for a blonde to step into this tonal world because it can be done with a gloss that eventually fades to golden blonde.” Need celeb inspo to carry into the salon? Sadie Sink is the best example of Gingersnap Copper right now, says DeBolt. “Hers is natural, which is exactly why it works as a reference. It’s the shade we’re trying to recreate.” Still, be sure to describe it as “golden copper,” not “orange” or “red,” says DeBolt. “Tell your stylist whether you want it to lean more blonde or more red, since that one choice changes the formula a lot.”
