There are few hair colours as invigorating as orange. From neon bright soda strands to deep rusts, burnt gingers and ripened peach, the warm-toned hair colour looks good on *literally* everyone, serving citrus-centric refreshment year-round.

So why not amplify the electricity of summer and take the plunge with a hair colour that can be seen from space? Here are the copper-coloured tresses we’re taking inspiration from in 2021. Orange hair awaits...
