Gonzalez relied
on a color melting
technique to
enhance the texture
and shape of this
haircut, using the
deepest color at the
base and melting
a medium color
and blonde shade
though the ends.
MASTER TIP
"When working with two
colors that I'm going to
melt, I leave a gap between
them of about ½ to 1 inch,"
Gonzalez says. "Once I've
applied the colors, I use a
clean brush to merge them
together to ensure that I'm
not altering the color in the
bowl. This works best when
working in foils. If I'm not
working in foils, I'll generally
merge the dark into the light.
This helps to ensure a better
blend with no lines."
