Inspiration:

"Vibrance Demi permanent is the best option when working with Lana Del Rey’s hair because, unknown to some people she is actually a natural blonde," Schwartz says. "Blonde roots on dark hair needs a different approach.

"Lana’s gorgeous, thick hair needs regrowth to appear gradient due to its light natural tone and Vibrance allows it to appear more natural compared to other colors. 

"Vibrance leaves almost no demarcation weeks after an application — where other color often will leave a harsh and unappealing inky demarcation. With Lana’s busy schedule, she isn't able to come into the salon as frequently as other clients regularly get root touch-ups.

"Demi-perm from Schwartzkopf is the perfect solution, as the results are long lasting."
