A Step-by-Step Guide
Sydney Sweeney’s ‘old money’ Hollywood bob captivated audiences at the Oscars 2024, radiating elegance and sophistication with its sleek yet voluminous style. Now, you can recreate this iconic look from the comfort of your own home using the right products and techniques. Let’s delve into the step-by-step guide to achieving Sydney Sweeney’s timeless hairstyle.
Sydney Sweeney’s departure from her signature bombshell lengths was a momentous one at the official after-party. The Euphoria star surprised everyone by unveiling a fluffy old-Hollywood bob, a departure from her usual long blonde locks. This classic chin-length shape featured beautifully curled and textured ends, framing her face elegantly. Adding to the allure was a voluminous side fringe that perfectly complemented the overall look.
Step 1 – Cleanse & Nourish
Start by washing your hair with a quality shampoo and mask duo designed to add shine and moisture. Opt for products like Sebastian Dark Oil shampoo and mask, which provide the perfect balance of hydration and lustre, leaving your locks looking healthy and radiant.
Step 2 – Build Volume
After towel-drying your hair, it’s time to build volume at the roots. Reach for Sebastian Volupt Spray to add natural bounce and fullness to your strands. Apply the spray generously at the roots, focusing on the crown area, for maximum lift and volume.
Step 3 – Enhance Hold & Volume
For added hold and volume throughout the lengths and ends of your hair, apply Sebastian Mousse Forté. This lightweight yet powerful formula will give your hair the body and structure it needs to hold its shape throughout the day.

Step 4 – Perfect the Blowout
Grab a large round brush and begin blow-drying your hair section by section. As you blow-dry each section, focus on setting the front and top layers in large rollers to create that signature bob shape. This technique will help achieve a smooth finish with just the right amount of volume.
Step 5 – Define & Protect
Before styling with heat tools, it’s essential to protect your hair from damage. Apply Sebastian Shine Define to shield your strands from heat while adding a glossy finish. This multi-tasking product will also provide hold and control, ensuring your style stays in place.
Step 6 – Style with Precision
To enhance the shape of your bob, use something like the GHD Soft Curl Tong to add subtle waves and texture. Take small sections of hair and wrap them around the tong, holding for a few seconds before releasing. Continue this process until all sections are styled to perfection.
Step 7 – Lock in the Look
Once you’ve achieved your desired style, it’s time to set it in place. Reach for something like the Zero Gravity Hairspray for a quick-drying, lightweight hold that won’t weigh your hair down. A quick mist of Sebastian Dark Oil Light Mist Spray will add extra shine and a touch of glamour with its luxurious scent of Sandalwood and Cedarwood.
Step 8 – Finishing Touches
For the final touches, smooth over your hair with Sebastian Dark Oil Serum or Sebastian Sublimate Cream. These products will lock in shine and hold, leaving your hair looking polished and refined!
