For the weekend’s festivities, including the iHeartRadio Music Awards in addition to the KCA, Modern Family’s middle sister Ariel Winter added blue strands to her long, dark locks. Incorporating two hot spring trends, vibrant pastels with a touch of silver, the combination came together beautifully to complete Winter’s look.

To recreate her blue peek-a-boo, Muniz recommends the below formula, using PRAVANA ChromaSilk VIVIDS including PASTELS and NEONS:

1. Pre-lighten desired sections of hair to a level 10 using Pure Light Power Lightener and preferred choice of developer
