Golden Copper Glow

October 24, 2025·1 min read

A person with long, wavy copper hair featuring a rich, golden glow. The hair is styled in loose waves, and a hand is gently lifting a section to show the color’s depth and shine in a salon setting.

Moroccanoil® Global Ambassador Gareth Williams (@garethwilliamshair) created this luminous golden copper glow for a client who came in as a blonde with noticeable regrowth. To build dimension and achieve that radiant, light-reflective finish, Gareth began by strategically highlighting through the midlengths and ends to maintain brightness. He then applied a custom gloss to create a rich copper finish.
