New Color Technique From Colortrak’s Gregory Alan: Color Melting

I love the use of vibrant colors with the added background of depth! A great way to transition natural colors into bright funky colors is the use of color melting.

Here is a super easy way to create a transition of dark to vibrant by melting the colors together with this color blocking technique

1. Depending on the number of colors you are using create deep circular zig zag sections from the top of the head to the bottom. They key here is to create a random section, do not strive for perfection.

 

 

2. Starting with the bottom sections apply your brightest shade of color throughout this entire section.

3. Continue working your way up the head moving from your brightest shade to your darkest shade at the very last section on the top of the head.

It’s important that your transition of color as you move up the head is similar in shade and tone to get the greatest melted color look. If you use shades that have too much contrast you will achieve a different result. Because the colors marry so well, the transition of lengths within the layers and shape of the hair will give you an amazing color result!
