The Intel on Lorde's Hair Transformation

Known for her iconic voluminous brunette curls, Lorde broke away from her regular style and transformed into a vintage 1960s Playmate thanks to celebrity colorist and Matrix ambassador Rachel Bodt.

Here's how she got the look:

  1. I used Matrix Pre-bonded Lightener to lift the hair, then SoColor 9G and Clear all over to achieve the vibrancy and shine of level we wanted. We sat down and referenced vintage playmates as our color goal. 
  2. Through any major color transformation, I always tell clients they will need some additional TLC at home to keep strands healthy. When going from brunette to blonde, I recommend incorporating Unbreak My Blonde collection, a sulfate-free strengthening system for all types and shades of hair that has gone through any type of chemical lightening. If color needs to be toned in-between services, or in Lorde’s case, on the road with her tour, I recommend So Silver All-In-One Toning Leave-In Spray to help to neutralize unwanted yellow undertones.
