Fall hair is getting a romantic rewrite. Warm, glossy color and undone waves are taking center stage across the “Sense and Sensibility” press tour, and Daisy Edgar-Jones is wearing the look best. Her recent carpet appearances in London, Los Angeles, and Berlin, echo the film’s free-spirited beauty aesthetic with a dreamy, lived-in finish.
We’re sharing the details behind her “Strawberry Brunette” color by celebrity hairstylist and Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Color Trend Ambassador Jacob Schwartz, plus tips from celebrity hairstylist Brendnetta Ashley on recreating those ethereal waves with Schwarzkopf Professional.
The Formula
Schwartz created the dimensional shade with subtle copper and golden undertones woven throughout a rich brunette base. The combination catches the light without reading as a traditional red or auburn. The result is a warm, glossy take on brunette that feels especially fitting for fall.
Below is his exact step-by-step process with the Schwarzkopf Professional hero products used:
- Hairline: IGORA VIBRANCE 7-0 + 7-55 + 8-0 with 6-volume developer.
- Roots: IGORA VIBRANCE 7-0 (45g) + 7-55 (15g) with 6-volume developer. Process the root gloss for 20 minutes.
- All-over gloss: IGORA VIBRANCE 7-77 + 7-55 + 0-77 + 0-55 with 6-volume developer. Process for 5 minutes.
Get the Style
To recreate the mood Ashley recommends building body and loose movement while keeping the finish touchable.
“The secret to these effortless, editorial waves is controlled imperfection,” says Ashley.
Below is her exact step-by-step process with the Schwarzkopf Professional hero products used:
- Build body: Start with OSiS Grip for root lift and body, then blow-dry with a round brush, directing face-framing pieces away from the face.
- Create soft movement: Form loose, elongated bends rather than uniform curls. Let the hair cool before brushing through.
- Add texture and shine: Use OSiS Texture Craft for touchable grip and separation, followed by OSiS Glow for soft, luminous shine.
- Keep the hold flexible: Finish with OSiS Elastic for flexible, brushable hold.
For the clients with curly and coily hair, Ashley recommends adapting the prep with OSiS Bounty Balm for softness and frizz control, followed by OSiS Curl Jam for definition with a softer hold. Diffuse, then lightly separate curls with Fibre Clinix Light Oil.
