Troye Sivan, the Australian singer-songwriter starlet and actor joined the Schwarzkopf Professional Global Brand Ambassador family this year and recently made headlines with his new beachy-blonde, lived-in look from Jacob Schwartz (@jacobschwartzhair).
Jacob's advice, tips and techniques:
Troye was previously a deep, warm blonde with highlights. To remove the warmth to create his new, brighter look, Jacob says, "I used Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA Vibrance -1 Series in the shade Ash.
Pro Tip: Jacob says for the most lived-in and natural look, use two lowlight formulas and apple the lightest shades on the ends of each section and overlap the darkest shades at the top. "The depth in the lowlight will break up any red from the previous color," he explains.
The Formulas
- Formula A (highlights)
- Schwarzkopf Professional BLONDME Premium Lightener 9+ + 6-volume BLONDME Premium Developer
- Formula B (lowlights)
- Top: Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA Vibrance 7-1 + 8-11 + IGORA Vibrance Activator Gel (6-volume)
- Formula C (hairline)
- IGORA Vibrance 9-0 + 7-1 + 9-1 + IGORA Vibrance Activator Gel
- Formula D (roots)
- IGORA Vibrance 7-1 + IGORA Vibrance Activator Gel
Steps
1. Apply Formula A throughout the head.
2. For the lowlights, alternate Formula B and Formula C throughout each section.
3. Rinse thoroughly and prepare for a second toning at the bowl.
4. Apply Formula D and Formula E at the bowl, allowing the process for 1o minutes.
5. Rinse, shampoo and condition to finish.
