Actress Sydney Sweeney tapped into her darker side for winter, taking her blonde locks to a deeper, multi-tonal blend of cool ash and neutral camel shades that her colorist, Jacob Schwartz, has dubbed Dark Suede Blonde.
“If you look at a suede bag or a suede shoe, it has that texture and dimension," he says. "It’s not dramatic, it’s quiet, but it’s there."
Schwartz, a celebrity colorist and the U.S. Hair Color Trend Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional, created the glossy new hue with the brand's IGORA hair color line.
Jacob describes the look as "luxe and rich." To achieve it, he highlighted around Sweeney's face with IGORA VARIO BLOND Super Plus and added lowlights with IGORA Vibrance to boost depth. To finish, he incorporated darker roots for a natural, low-maintenance effect.
Also contributing to the Euphoria star's winter hair transformation was extensions specialist Priscilla Valles and hairstylist Glen "Coco" Oropeza.
