Muted Bronze

For “cowboy copper” clients who are ready for a more muted hue, try this soft bronze from Schwarzkopf Professional® Global Color Ambassador Lesley Jennison (@lesleyjennison). Utilizing a dual-system application method, this multi-tonal color provides the perfect amount of shimmer with no harsh lines.

Who is the ideal candidate for a muted bronze?

A soft, muted bronze is a very versatile color: “Switching up the palette can really change the outcome. Go for complementary tones for a natural feel or contrasting tones for impact,” Lesley shares. 

 

For this client, Lesley wanted to cover grays, bump the base and deposit tone in one hybrid application. To do so, she used Schwarzkopf Professional® IGORA® ZERO AMM Permanent Color on the roots, with Schwarzkopf Professional® IGORA VIBRANCE® Demi-Permanent Color on the mids and ends.

 

What are your must-have tips when following this application method?

To help avoid scalp irritation, Lesley recommends Schwarzkopf Professional® Scalp Protect and Skin Protect to help minimize sensitivity issues.
