How-To (plus video!): Pravana Locked-In Rainbow Hair

Haircolor magician Rebecca Taylor, possibly known more commonly by her very popular Instagram handle, @vividartistichairdesign, is teaming up with Pravana to showcase the staying power of Pravana's new Vivids Locked-In Colors (available July 2015). 

The beauty of Vivids Locked-In is that colorists can create multi-dimensional, multi-hued designs on hair without fear of transfer or bleeding.

Taylor used inspiration from clothing line Clashist's sand art collection to paint a rainbow of colors on fashion blogger Hieu's hair. Video and steps below!
