Aimee Lou Wood's colourist tells us how to get her sun-kissed White Lotus look
Wood plays a Mancunian yoga teacher who has found her unlikely 'soulmate' in curmudgeonly Rick, played by Walton Goggins. And in spite of two (sort of, not really) near death experiences on the trip after just three episodes, she's endearingly optimistic. And as well as her deadpan delivery of one-liners and fixation with star signs, her holiday style has helped her to win over legions of viewers. And central to Wood's look is the fact that her hair is holiday beauty realised.
The colour which has been dubbed Copper Sundowner by the London colourist who created it. Amy Fish of Larry King salons tells the Standard she wanted to create a look which implied that Chelsea was travelling by making it look like the sun had naturally lifted the red tones.
'It's a luminous, soft copper balayage that effortlessly blends warm golden and copper lights through the mid lengths and ends of the hair. Think of the glow of golden hour. When the sun bathes everything in a soft warm light,' she explains.
And if you want to ask your hairdresser to follow suit, Fish says: 'I achieved this look by creating fine slightly lighter slices throughout the hair for that seamless finish. It's not about making it blonde or making the ends heavily coloured or lifting the hair too light. So this keeps the health of the hair the best it can be while lighting the ends softly. '
'The key is not to make too much of a colour difference between the natural hair and the ends. And to keep the colour warmer to compliment Aimee's warmer skin tone.'
Balayage may have been The Style of the 2010s, though they've faded out in popularity a tad in recent years versus tone on tone highlights. But it's clear they're having a major moment again as a more low-maintenance way to wear a sun-kissed, holiday-inspired look.
Warm coppers are a perennial trend for winter and last season, Tom Smith, the creative director for Evo Hair, called Terracopper the shade to know (think Riley Keogh), describing it as copper with a bold red undertone. And looks like it's here to stay for the warmer months, with Aimee Lou Wood's adoption of copper tones confirming the trend for Spring.
If you're looking to embrace the shade with a balayage and want it to last the distance, then Smith advises it's all about turning down the heat that meets your hair shafts. 'Washing with cooler water and reducing the heat on your hot tools will slow down the rate at which this vibrant shade fades,' he says.
While Fish explains that sun exposure will also cause fading, so she advises trying a product such as Redken 25 Benefit Spray (£24.40, boots.com) to protect it. 'It's a lightweight conditioning spray that has multiple benefits with one of them being UV protection.' Spray it on wet hair and also top up on when on holidays after showering off post pool or sea swim.
Also ensure you use moisturising shampoo and conditioner to keep hair hydrated and soft after dying. I like Nou Nou by Davines (£22.75, davines.com).

Aubrey Plaza Opens Up to Amy Poehler About Grief Following Her Husband's Death: ‘It's a Daily Struggle'
Writer and director Jeff Baena died by suicide at age 47 on Jan. 3 NEED TO KNOW Aubrey Plaza opened up about dealing with grief during an appearance on her friend Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast Plaza's husband, Jeff Baena, died by suicide in January of this year "Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm okay, but it's like a daily struggle," the actress told Poehler in the episode released Aug. 19 Aubrey Plaza is speaking out about dealing with grief following the death of her late husband, Jeff Baena. During an appearance on the latest episode of her friend Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Plaza, 41, was asked how she's doing after her husband Baena died by suicide at age 47 on Jan. 3 of this year. After Poehler, 53, mentioned that Plaza's dog, Frankie, had been acting as The White Lotus star's "therapy dog," the podcast host continued, "Just to get it out the way, people want to see you and want to see how you are, they love you." "You've had this terrible, terrible, tragic year. You lost your husband, you've been dealing with that and you've been looking for all different ways in which to feel and find support," Poehler, who starred on Parks and Recreation with Plaza between 2009-2015, added. "On behalf of all the people who feel like they know you, and the people who do know you, how are you feeling today?" Poehler asked, to which Plaza responded, "Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you." "Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm okay, but it's like a daily struggle, obviously," Plaza continued. The Agatha All Along star went on to compare grief to the 2025 movie, The Gorge, starring actors including Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy. Plaza told Poehler, "This is a really dumb analogy and it was kind of a joke at a certain point, but I actually mean it. Did you see that movie The Gorge?" "It's like [an] alien movie or something with Miles Teller. In the movie, there's like a cliff on one side and there's a cliff on the other side, then there's gorge in between and it's filled with all these like monster people that are trying to get them," she added. Plaza continued, "I swear when I watched it, I was like that feels like what my grief is like … or what grief could be like." "At all times there's like a giant ocean of awfulness, that's like right there and I can see it. Sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just like be in it. Then sometimes I just look at it, and sometimes I try to get away from it. But, it's always there," she explained. The actress started dating Baena, a writer and director, in 2011, before fans learned that the couple had tied the knot in May 2021 when she referred to him as her "darling husband" in an Instagram post. Her rep later confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple had wed. Following Baena's death, Plaza and Baena's family released a statement at the time and called his passing an "unimaginable tragedy." "We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time," they said in the statement obtained by PEOPLE.
