Celebrity Colorist Jacob Schwartz Reveals the Exact Color Formula He Used to Craft Charlotte Lawrence’s “Chestnut Glaze” Hair Color for the 2025 Oscars

03/05/2025

Should we all be dying our hair brunette this spring? Charlotte Lawrence just made a compelling argument for it at the 2025 Oscars, debuting a much darker hair color than we’re used to seeing on her.

The model-turned-musician hit the red carpet looking like an absolute dream in a heavily embellished and ruffled pink Valentino gown. While we loved her look overall, we couldn’t get enough of her beautiful hair. Her locks were styled in curled, face-framing updo that came courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Ryan Richman

As for her gorgeous new brunette hue? That was the work of Schwarzkopf Professional’s U.S. Hair Color Trend Ambassador Jacob Schwartz who helped Lawrence ditch her blonde locks in favor of a fresh, dimensional “Chestnut Glaze” hue. To bring this high-shine brunette color to life, Schwartz used Schwarzkopf Professional’s IGORA VIBRANCE Demi-Permanent Color Line. Thanks to Schwarzkopf Professional’s highly customizable formulas and unparalleled gloss, he was able to arrive at the perfect soft and multi-tonal brunette shade that would not only enhance Lawrence’s natural beauty but also look dazzling under the bright lights of the Oscars’ red carpet.

If you’re curious about how Schwartz created Lawrence’s velvety brunette color, you’re in luck! Schwartz shared with The Tease the exact formula that he used to create her color below.

Formula Breakdown:

  • Formula A: filled in Lawrences’s blonde hair with IGORA VIBRANCE 0-55 and 6-volume (for 3 minutes)
  • Formula B (lowlights): applied IGORA VIBRANCE 6-1 + 6-0 on the top ends and 7-0+9-55 +6-volume
  • Formula C (on damp roots): applied IGORA VIBRANCE 6-1 at the hairline and 8-0 + 7-1 + 6-volume (for 20 minutes)
  • Formula D (allover):applied  IGORA VIBRANCE 7-55 (for 20 minutes)
