The styling looks at movement while accenting the balayage highlights.

Walk on the warm side and pair your dark red roots with red copper ends. Red and copper tones make a striking combination that will make your locks look warm and inviting.

A fire copper balayage is the perfect color for the fall season. When determining if a warm red color complements your skin tone, take gold and silver jewelry to your appointment.
