Recently, I received a photograph submission from Adeline Hutmacher, from Embellir Total Image Salon in Toledo, Ohio. To reach this look, here’s the stairs that Hutmacher took:

STEP 1: On pre-lightened hair take thin slices round the head and slightly tease each section before applyling color.

STEP 2: For pink, use 1/2 oz Pravana pastel pink + 1/2 oz magenta. For purple use 1/2 oz Pravana lavender + 1/3 oz pink. For blue, use 1 oz Pravana blissful blue.

STEP 3: Apply all of the colors on your selected sections (your preference). Use a dry detail brush to feather out the road of demarcation on each foil and fade out each color.

To create this look, Hutmacher says she was inspired by two things: “Pinterest! i used to be seeing a massive trend with both pastel colors and modern type of ombre hair,” she says. “i used to be also inspired by 4th of July. i like how fireworks preserve they burst off, they’ve a gorgeous melting effect as they may be fading away, almost like this style.” Hutmacher says the foremost challenging part about creating this look was capturing the melting effect and blending out any line of demarcation. “I needed to ensure the color pattern made sense without it looking overly ‘done.'”
