Amber hair colors offer a warm hue that complements all skin tones, making them the ideal way to frame and highlight features on your face and accentuate features such as bangs or bob. Find the shade that best complements you and pair it with stylish bob and bang styles for a stunning look!
When coloring your locks amber, be sure to use a color-protecting color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to ensure the hue lasts as long as possible. In addition, apply heat protectant before styling.
Light Amber
Light amber lies between yellow and orange on the color wheel and features golden-hued warm undertones for an appealing finish. Ideal for clients wanting to enhance their natural blonde shade or make more dramatic color changes without bleaching, light amber is an attractive solution for clients wanting an instantaneous boost or more dramatic transformation without bleaching.
Based on their initial coloring, clients can opt for light amber highlights to revive blonde locks or dark amber lowlights to tone brunette locks. It also makes an eye-catching caramel ombre shade! Pair this hue with either modern balayage techniques or classic root touch-ups to achieve an eye-catching radiant finish. Additionally, this hue can help camouflage grays on any blonde hair; try Koleston Perfect or Color Touch to achieve your desired shade.
Copper Amber
Coppery amber adds an exotic glow to brown hair. Bicoastal colorist Jeremy Tardo used BlondorPlex 3% lightener on this model’s brunette locks before applying Koleston Perfect 77/44 77/43 8/34 for maximum dimension at both roots and midlengths for this stunning shade.
The result will be an exquisite coppery amber brown shade that complements dark complexions beautifully and beautifully brings out blue, green, or hazel eyes. It pairs wonderfully with blonde hair and can be styled using either balayage or ombre techniques for maximum impact. Warm amber hues may fade more rapidly than others, so use only sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner designed for colored hair to prolong its beauty. Wash your locks a few times weekly at most and avoid heat styling tools to extend their longevity.
Ginger Amber
Strawberry Blonde (sometimes referred to as strawberry blonde) is the ideal shade for natural gingers looking for an intermediate step toward darker hues without totally ditching their signature red hue. Furthermore, this deep, reddish-brown hue can also provide clients with naturally dark brown hair an opportunity to add dimension.
For a softer take on ginger amber, combine a warm golden amber shade with BlondorPlex or Color Touch and pre-lighten as needed to achieve a radiant amber blonde shade that will surely get plenty of likes on Instagram. As an extra protection, suggest that your client use L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Weightless Sulfate-Free Conditioner as recommended color care routines to help protect colored strands during the coloring process.
Dark Amber
Amber hair color is warm yet cool and can work with most skin tones. Light amber hues with reddish undertones work best on those with cool complexions, while rich copper and golden tones look best when applied on warmer faces.
If you are still getting ready for full amber hair dye, consider an ombre amber bronde shade with dark-to-light gradients instead. The combination of warm golden tones and darker brown tones produces an eye-catching, luscious effect suitable for any face shape. Balayage and ombre techniques are excellent ways of applying this color, as they keep the new shade away from the roots while blending seamlessly with existing hues. Ensure you use shampoo and conditioner designed specifically for color-treated hair for optimal protection!
Brown Amber
A delicious combination of golden blonde and brown amber hues, this shade perfectly compliments brunette hair tones while accentuating skin tones beautifully. Additionally, it makes an excellent addition for clients seeking something with some spice without going too dark.
Brown amber makes an attractive pairing with highlighted hair! Mix in babylights for an eye-catching inverse effect that frames the face and draws focus to the eyes. Before beginning with any red shade, please make sure the client’s strands are healthy and in excellent condition before coloring them. Equip your color station with products to nourish and enhance its color, like Kerastase Reflection Masque Chromatique, which provides antioxidant protection while replenishing moisture to keep strands looking vibrant and healthy.
