Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
Copper and warm auburn tones bring a rich, fiery energy to protective braiding. Blending #350 copper with deep #33 auburn gives the braids and loose French curls multi-dimensional warmth that flatters deep, rich skin tones.
Step-by-Step Execution & Braiding Guide
-
Map out medium-sized, clean grid partings using an edge control jam.
-
Blend copper (#350) and dark auburn (#33) braiding hair together before feeding into the braid.
-
Insert loose copper curl tendrils every 4 inches along the shaft.
-
Finish the ends with vibrant copper French curl extensions reaching the waist.
-
Apply a foaming mousse over the completed braids and set under a hooded dryer for 15 minutes.
Pro Styling & Everyday Application Tips
-
Keep auburn curls hydrated with a water-and-aloe leave-in spray to maintain color vibrancy.
-
Pair with earth-toned and neutral wardrobes (cream, olive, and chocolate brown) to make the copper hair pop.
