Jennifer Garner's Chunky Highlights Evoke Nostalgia for The Early 2000s

With only a few days remaining until the formal commencement of summer, if you have still to finalize your summer 2025 hair color, Jennifer Garner is available to provide inspiration.

The actress had a significant hair shift this week, replacing her characteristic all-over brown color with a lighter style that includes big blonde highlights reminiscent of the early 2000s.

Garner's recent, lighter hue has been designated “Champagne Ribbon Brunette” by Tracey Cunningham, colorist and US creative director of color and technique at Schwarzkopf Professional. Cunningham disclosed in an Instagram post that she altered the actress's hair color for her forthcoming appearance in The Five-Star Weekend, a Peacock series adapted from a novel of the same title. In the video, she indicated that she utilized Schwarzkopf's BLONDME Lightener with 30 volume to produce blonde highlights in Garner's hair prior to applying the Igora Vibrance Gloss for toning.

Highlights are among the several hair colors that experts anticipate to be a significant trend this summer, alongside others such as "Mocha Mousse," "Surfer Blonde," and "Cotton Candy Pink." Experts generally advise consulting a professional colorist for hair lightening or highlights. If you intend to undergo a significant hair transformation in the coming months, several products are available to maintain the appearance of your color-treated hair.
