Colour Refresh Bright Copper 7.40

Yes — copper and warm-red tones are among the fastest-fading colours, because the pigment molecules are large and wash out quickly, and copper is often on a lighter, more porous base that releases colour faster. Colour Refresh Bright Copper re-deposits copper pigment between salon visits to keep the glow vivid. Many copper clients use it regularly, even weekly. It lasts around 4–10 washes each application and fades gradually, and it conditions the hair as it refreshes the tone.

No to both. It only deposits copper tone — it can't lighten, as it has no bleach. And the semi-permanent pigments don't cover grey (results on grey vary and aren't recommended). Bright Copper refreshes and intensifies existing copper, ginger, and warm colour, and shows best on lighter or pre-lightened bases. On dark hair it adds warm coppery dimension rather than a vivid change. A strand test shows exactly how it'll look on your base.

Copper and red pigments can stain skin, so always wear gloves and wipe any product off your hairline, ears, and neck promptly. Use dark or old towels, and rinse the shower after use. The colour comes off skin and surfaces easily if dealt with straight away, but can mark if left to sit. Rinse your hair until the water runs clear, and avoid getting it on light clothing while it processes.

It's not damaging — it's a conditioning treatment with Argan Oil, Provitamin B5, and nourishing ingredients that leaves hair soft and glossy. But always tell your hairdresser if you've used Colour Refresh, especially copper or red, before any bleaching or lightening. Warm pigments can be stubborn, and residual colour can affect or discolour a bleach result, so your colourist needs to know in advance to plan the service.
