Metallic hair is here to stay! We have an exclusive peek at how to achieve this mauve metallic colormelt created by Instagram superstar and master colorist @PresleyPoe using Pravana ColorLush.

To achieve this color, @PresleyPoe started the process by pre-applying equal parts Pravana Violets Express Toner and Pearl Express Toner to create a metallic base with a silvery finish.

Then, she mixed together these three formulas:  

Formula 1: Equal parts 3V, 5V and ¼ Clear

Formula 2: 3V, 5V and ¾ Clear

Formula 3: ColorLush 9V and Clear

  • After mixing the formulas, she sectioned the hair into four general quadrants and created a 2 to 3 inch shadow root using Formula 1.

  • Then, @PresleyPoe shows you how to apply Formulas 2 and 3 and how she melts them together to create a perfectly blended colormelt.

  • Since she used ColorLush, you can process the hair for a full 20 minutes or until you reach your desired tone.
