A natural blonde, celebrity colorist Jacob Schwartz worked with singer Lana Del Rey to refresh her luxe chocolate-brown hair to create a look that the artist describes as ‘sultry, timeless rich brown’ with lighter ends.
‘Lana has fabulous dream hair and so much of it,’ said Jacob.

To get Lana’s timeless brown shade Jacob started with her base color and used a lighter color on the front and a darker colors on the roots.
‘I kept that on for 30 minutes, but while that was sitting we used OLAPLEX Nº.2 Bond Perfector as a standalone treatment and to kill two birds with one stone.
After rinsing, he shampooed her hair and the conditioned is with a moisture mask the he let sit for 10 minutes to add extra moisture.

Gracie Abrams added a touch of avant-garde flair to her tube top and skirt with sleek bob hairstyle, parted down the middle
‘Chrissy’s hair is currently in a bob which is a trend we’re seeing a lot of lately. It also encompasses some of her natural texture which is super popular.’
‘We wanted it to look very feminine by incorporating natural textures. Since the dress is a little playful, we wanted the hair to feel similar.’
To get the picture-perfect look, Irinel prepped Chrissy’s damp hair with the OLAPLEX Nº. 6 Bond Smoother to reduce frizz and flyaways.
‘I focused mainly on mids to end and comb through for even distribution.
‘Next, I used the OLAPLEX Volumizing Blow Dry Mist on the roots and ends for added lift, volume, and heat protection.
‘Then, I blow-dried the hair with a 1 1/2” boar bristle round brush and the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer and concentrator attachment.
‘I made sure to lift the air up from the route for extra body and volume. After blow-drying each section, I set the hair in 1 1/2-inch velcro rollers and secured it with a duck-bill clip.
‘I left the hair set and rollers for 10 to 15 minutes and released. Next, I sprayed the hair with Balmain Texturizing Hairspray throughout for extra body and volume.
Then finished the style with OLAPLEXNº.7 Bonding Oil and scrunched oil into the end of the hair to mold the ends into the shape I wanted them to sit in.’
