How To Formulate Terracotta Copper Curls
Terracotta copper curls are the perfect way to warm up any look. The rich reddish-brown hue enhances every curl, adding depth, dimension and shine. BTC Team Member Desiree Johnson (@desireealyssahair) created this sun-kissed look on her client using shades from Maria Nila's Demi Permanent Sheer Collection. Read on for the exact formula to recreate this stunning look.
The Formulas
- Formula A (root melt)
- Maria Nila Sheer Collection Demi Permanent 4N + Maria Nila 3% 10-volume Developer
- Formula B (midlengths)
- Sheer Collection Demi Permanent 8N + 8CG + 3% 10-volume Developer (1:1)
Steps
1. Apply Formula A at the roots, blending slightly downwards to ensure a soft, natural transition.
2. Apply Formula B from the point where the root shadow ends to the tips, making sure to saturate fully. Let both formulas process and rinse.
