If you were debating going blonde this summer, let Bella Hadid’s brand-new “Supermodel Blonde” be your sign to pull the trigger. Stunning us all at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, Bella stepped onto the red carpet sporting an Anthony Vaccarello Yves Saint Laurent black gown, Chopard diamonds, and a sun-kissed blonde hairstyle crafted by Jacob Schwartz, a Schwarzkopf Professional U.S. Hair Color Trend Ambassador.
Bella is widely known as the brunette Hadid sister, so it may come as a surprise to learn that this new blonde look is very similar to the blonde of her childhood. That’s right—Bella is a natural blonde just like her older sister, Gigi, who left heart-eye emojis in the comments when Bella made her blond hair Instagram-official. Looks like we may have to ditch calling them the Hadid sisters and opt for the Hadid twins instead!
Schwartz describes Bella’s color as “Supermodel Blonde,” a multidimensional, soft-focus blonde that perfectly blends depth, brightness, and warmth. As many of us have unfortunately experienced, transitioning from brunette to blonde hair often comes with unwanted hair damage. So, to protect the health, dimension, and integrity of Bella’s hair, Schwartz stretched the process over the course of two days. He also made sure to use products that foster hair health.
“I started by highlighting ultra-fine sections all over Bella’s head using Schwarzkopf Professional’s Igora Vario Blond Super Plus with 20 volume,” explains Schwartz. “It gave us the beautiful lift we needed while keeping the hair strong and healthy.”
Luckily for us, Schwartz is no gatekeeper and didn’t stop there in explaining his process on Bella. Read on to learn the exact formula Schwartz used, just in case you want to copy and paste it onto yourself.
How to Get the Look
Schwartz took to Instagram just hours after completing Bella’s look to share his formula. Carefully detailing steps one through nine, he so graciously ensured that any hairstylist reading it would understand exactly what to do to achieve similar, if not the exact same, results. While we don’t quite understand some of his formula shorthand, here’s the link to his post so you can DM it to your stylist.
Paired with the Igora Vario Blond Super Plus, Schwartz also used Schwarzkopf Professional Igora Vibrance, a demi-permanent hair color and gloss, and Igora Vibrance for the lowlights. “To really lock in the dimension, I repeated the lowlights a second time,” explains Schwartz. “This helped reinforce the dark blonde effect that still feels soft and natural.”
Bella’s new “Supermodel Blonde” was finally complete once Schwartz went in with the Igora Vario Blond Super Plus for a second time. This step added additional brightness, leaving Bella with the perfect blend of creamy blonde and soft brunette—a hue for the red carpet or just a regular day at work.
