Ash Fortis (@Xostylistxo) of G Patton Salon in Norfolk, Virginia, shares this beautiful melt and wanted to spread the news. Here she shares the HOW TO in her own words:

I left her natural root as she wanted easy maintenance. I then hand painted her ends with Redken Flashlift using 30 v and placed in foils for the extra lift. Because I needed the ends to lift,I then clipped them to the top of her head place a cap on her and stuck her under the dryer for 35 minutes. I followed up by lifting the dryer and allowing her to process for 10 more minutes, lifting her to a light level 9. Washed her using Kevin Murphy purple shampoo,deep treated and then did a complete blowdry. I then mixed Pravana blue, Joico colbalt blue with a squeeze of Violet for richness and depth. I left that on for 30 minutes rinsed with cool water and styled.
