Our first look is from @chloemmfc, and what a look it is! As we mentioned already, 2025 and 2026 have been full of copper trends, from deep red auburns to ginger and pumpkin spice. This copper hair is absolutely exquisite, with wave after wave of rich orange colour. For a natural look like this, we recommend one of the iconic High Voltage colours from our new Super Natural collection: the Tiger’s Eye semi-permanent hair dye! This dye is rich with brown and red undertones, covered by a sleek and shiny orange gloss that permeates the hair with a natural copper shade to die for! Plus, all of our semi-permanent dyes are made with a conditioning and enriching formula, so that your locks get healthier and more glamorous with every transformation!
Of course, copper is all well and good for the autumnal aesthetic, but there’s a shade of orange that’s even more perfect for the spooky season: Pumpkin! Nothing is more perfect for Halloween than a bright head of orange hair, just like this one by @hairbygeorgiaa_, using our High Voltage colour Psychedelic Sunset. This orange shade is one of our brightest fashion colours, with bold, vibrant pigment that will cover any brassy, yellow tones. Perfect for Halloween or for the rest of the year, this is some truly main-character hair!
If bright colours aren’t your vibe, we recommend something a little softer. This gorgeous hair colour is also by @hairbygeorgiaa_, and features one of our Creamtones pastel hair dyes, the one-in-a-million Dreamsicle! Our pastel hair dyes are perfect for a soft, smoked-out look, and the Dreamsicle hair dye is no exception, with a dreamy and whimsical pastel orange hue that will have heads turning wherever you go. Just remember to prepare your hair ahead of the dyeing process- light pastel colours only show up on a very light blonde base, so you may need to pre-lighten your hair before dyeing it.
Not sure about which orange shade to pick? Make one yourself! All of our semi-permanent hair dyes are completely intermixable, meaning that you can mix up different colours to get an orange shade that’s completely unique to you! You can also use our Manic Panic Pasteliser, a white cream hair dye that can be added to any of our High Voltage colours to create a pastel hue. So if you love the light orange vibe of our Psychedelic Sunset, but want to make it pastel, just add in some Pasteliser, and you’ll have yourself a pastel orange hair dye in no time! Our Manic Panic dyes are made to play with, so why not find your perfect orange tone today?
Finally, we wanted to mention some colour maintenance. Orange is a very pigmented colour, and you’ll want to keep that vibrance going for as long as possible. Our Manic Panic hair care collection is here to help, with plenty of colour-safe shampoos and toners. Our favourite item from the hair care range, however, is the LoveColor Colour Depositing Conditioner. These colour-depositing conditioners add pigment to your hair while they condition, giving you nourished and healthy locks with an extra boost of colour. While the LoveColor conditioners come in multiple shades, we want to focus on the options for our orange-headed fans: Copper Kitty and Orange Crush. Depending on your preferred orange hue, you can throw on some orange LoveColor conditioner for a renewed and refreshed colour payoff!
