Are there any recommended colour enhancing shampoos and conditioners (thinking back to the 80's Shaders and Toners sachets)

After a few hair disasters I chopped my hair short last year to start again with my natural colour and undamaged hair. Although I have a lot of grey, I also seem to have some nice warmth and in some sections it looks coppery. I love it now
My question is, are there any products I can use maybe once a week or less that would enhance the copper tones? I can remember the shades and toner sachets from years ago and when I was sent to the shop as a child, I would covet these sachets, I was desperate to colour my hair.
I don't want anything like a semi permanent, I'm maybe being unrealistic but hoping someone can help.

@WoofWoofBeachLife That colour looks great on you and ideally `i would like a darker one but the reviews are not very good and I am terrified of ending up with it looking at all red which is why the "copper" in copper gold worries me.

Would you say there is any red in it and how long does it take to wash out if I hated it?

Thanks

Aw I haven't used the superdrug copper gold, I'm using the Maria Nila Bright copper one. It's intense on any dry or sun bleached parts of hair, blends grey and is a lovely tone on natural hair. There is red colouring in it u checked the ingredients. Xx

If you use these satchets, does it blend your greys enough not to need your roots done ?
I have dark long hair and need my roots done every 5 weeks currently and I would love an alternative!

Yes it has blended my greys at the roots I'm happy with that aspect.
I used the Maria Nila neat yesterday after my hair cut and I'm a wee bit unsure about the colour at the ends of my hair. I had checked the product out on the Sally's website and I now wish I had gone on the actual Maria Nila site. The pics on there are more true to what the colour is on lighter hair, dryer ends and sun bleached ends which mine has. Can you lovely ladies tell me what you think? I've 3 pics of mine and the product website pic.
My Husband says it's nice with the 2 tones, I just wanted to be a vibrant ginger I think the ends are a strange shade.xx
