The official theme of 2024 (and every red carpet of the season thus far): Golden blondes and bobs galore. LA’s resident bright blonde bombshell, Sydney Sweeney herself, has officially opted for the “Quiet Luxury” bob, paired with a sultry dark suede blonde. As her colorist Jacob Schwartz (@jacobschwarzthair) transitioned Sydney’s brighter blonde into a deeper, low-lighted blend, here was his game plan:

  • Jacob strategically left out remaining highlights around Sydney’s face accentuating her new chopped bob by celebrity stylist Glen Oropeza (@glencocoforhair) who cut Sydney’s hair into a luxe bob that falls right underneath the chin.

  • Jacob added dimension and depth inside her new hair to give her movement with the Schwarzkopf Professional® Demi-Permanent IGORA® VIBRANCE line.

The Formulas

Steps

1, Apply the first round of lowlights using Formula A throughout the top section and Formula B throughout the bottom section. 

2. Shampoo and condition, then dry hair. 

3. Apply the second round of darker lowlights, with Formula C through the top and Formula D through the bottom section of hair. 

4. Between the foils, apply Formula E. Process for 20 minutes. 

5. For the last five minutes, apply Formula F around the hairline. Pro Tip: Lift up the ends when rinsing at the bowl to maintain lightness and avoid darker color overlap. 

6. Shampoo and condition. Celebrity stylist Glen then styled by creating a voluminous, side-swept and beveled blowout with a dramatic side part.
