If you celebrated Christmas, your day was hopefully filled with delicious food, festive drinks, quality time with loved ones—and Beyoncé. The music icon stole the show during her halftime performance at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on December 25, and while every second had us glued to our screens, it’s her hair transformation that we’re still thinking about days later.
The creative mastermind behind Beyoncé’s new “ivory blonde” hair color was celebrity colorist Rita Hazan. The pro shared a video of her client’s hair transformation straight from the NFL stage, on her Instagram grid. “Ivory blonde – when all the colors live in perfect harmony,” Hazan captioned the photo. “Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous holiday and new year. ✨ The queen never disappoints! It’s always a pleasure to work with @beyonce, her work ethic and dedication is inspiring.”
As seen in videos and imagery from the game (and etched into the minds of those lucky enough to watch live), Beyoncé’s hairstyle featured long, crimped waves which were parted in the center and delivered the perfect mix of texture and volume. As for the color, the multidimensional “ivory blonde” shade appeared to boast a blend of lighter platinum tones and soft, warm undertones for depth.
At the time of writing, we’ve reached out to Hazan for the official definition of “ivory blonde,” so those inspired by the look can relay the exact details to their colorist. Stay tuned for an update.
