Tracey Cunningham on Jennifer Garner’s New Summer Brunette

06/24/2025

A-lister Jennifer Garner was looking for a new hair color in time for her next big role and the warmer months, so she asked Tracey Cunningham to take the reins. Legendary colorist, Cunningham, who is also Schwarzkopf Professional’s U.S. Creative Director of Color & Technique, opted to create a “lighter, brighter look that feels perfectly timed for the season.”

Named “Champagne Ribbon Brunette,” by Cunningham, this color is the perfect summer refresh for brunettes and blends rich brunette tones with soft, golden highlights. Cunningham gave us the details behind the look, which she says is “polished, yet playful, a modern take on early 2000s chunky highlights, reimagined with effortless shine and dimension.”

Read on for the formula.

Get the Look:

  1. Tracey first used Schwarzkopf Professional’s BLONDME Premium Lightener 9+ 30 Volume to lift the color.
  2. For the base she used Igora Vibrance 9-00 + 8-1 + 7-00 + 6-1 with 13-volume for 20 minutes
  3. Igora Vibrance On Zone 2: 9-0
  4. Igora Vibrance All-Over Gloss 9-7 + 0-55, equal parts for 1 minute
