Ginger Beer

Ginger beer is the hottest reddish brown hair color of the season and once you get a glimpse, you’ll understand why. Ginger beer hair color is a perfect blend of vibrant ginger and deep brown, creating a color that is both warm and vibrant.

Hair this vivid can sometimes be difficult to maintain, so we recommend swapping out your regular shampoo and conditioner for the Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Shampoo and Conditioner. Specifically formulated for high-maintenance hair colors, the shampoo gently cleanses to maintain the vibrancy of fast-fading hair colors and the acidic conditioner deeply nourishes color-treated hair.

Copper

Copper hair color is the gold standard for anyone looking to slay a reddish brown hair color. It’s  the toned-down sister of ginger beer hair color, perfect for anyone looking for a more subtle way to embrace red hair.

Soft Copper

If you love the look of copper hair but want a hue that’s a bit more muted, opt for soft copper. You’ll still get all of the warmth of copper hair color with some much-needed brown undertones for added depth.

Chestnut

Looking for a reddish brown color that leans a little more brunette? Chestnut is the perfect shade for you. Light brown shades have a tendency to turn a bit brassy after a few weeks, so swap out your regular shampoo and conditioner for the Matrix Total Results Brass Off system to help keep unwanted brass at bay.

Chocolate Cherry

If you love red shades but aren’t ready to part with your dark locks, opt for chocolate cherry. To create this look, start with a dark chocolate base and ask your colorist to use the balayage technique to hand paint shades of vibrant red onto your strands.
