The copper light brown (6.4) is a warm colour with full coverage on grey hair. The lighter your hair is now, the brighter this colour will look on your hair. If you have light blonde or grey hair, you could tone down the brightness of this colour by mixing it with a natural tint such as the light brown (6.0). The copper in this colour will be toned down. Would you like it to be a bit darker? You could mix this 6.4 with the brown (5.0). On rigid hair that has bad coverage, the 6.4 copper light brown may not be suficient. Mix it with a matching natural shade for better coverage (brown (5.0) or light brown (6.0)). Lastly, you could mix the copper light brown 6.4 with the copper dark blonde (7.4) to make it lighter if you think this colour is too dark.
Red/copper shades
Red/copper shades fade faster than other colours. Especially when you dye your hair red/copper for the first time. To dye your hair red/copper successfully and with longer-lasting results, it is best to "stack" the red colour (pigment) by dyeing your hair red/copper several times. That way the red/copper pigments stay in your hair better.
Because WECOLOUR hair dye is as pure as possible and not harmful to your hair, you can do this with confidence. You will see that the colour remains beautiful longer and longer. So have some patience, but then the result will be (longer) beautiful! Also use a good shampoo and conditioner especially for coloured hair to keep your colour longer.
Allergic to hair dye?
Then a red/copper hair dye may be the good pick for you. Red/copper colours contain no PPD (just like our other dyes), but also don't contain any TDS/PTSD. The chances of having an allergic reaction are therefore a little smaller with this dye. Not sure if you're allergic? Send us a message and request a tester.
Advice with picking a colour
The result always depends on the colour and structure of your hair before you dye it. If you have dry, porous or fine hair, you should probably take a dye lighter than the colour you actually want. Your hair will absorb more pigment from the dye, making your end results darker than they should be. It's better to dye your hair too light than too dark, because you can't dye dark hair back! If you have doubts between two colours, pick the lighter colour. Are the end results too light? You can always dye it to a darker colour right away without damaging your hair with WECOLOUR dye.

How much dye do you need?
- Short, thin hair or just the roots: less than one package (one tube mixed with developer)
- Hair until your shoulders: one package (one tube mixed with developer)
- Thick or longer hair: two packages (tube mixed with developer)
- Very thick, long hair: three packages (tube mixed with developer)
Make sure to have enough dye. There's nothing more annoying than running out of dye in the middle of dyeing your hair. Also don't mix too much dye at once, you can always make more. If you have leftover (unmixed) dye, that's no problem. WECOLOUR colour cream has a shelf life of 12 months after opening.
