Like a black and white movie suddenly infiltrated with color, the contrast of this look makes for a dazzling effect! Jaymz Marsters (@jaymz.marsters), specialist in vibrant fashion shades at Just Cuts in Norfolk, England, crafted this color he calls "Rainbow of Chaos."

Beginning with a level 10 blonde, Marsters brought the hair to a soft dove gray, then created a vivid, yet balanced rainbow of color on half of the head. Here he shares his formulas and steps to create the look, adding the disclaimer that formulas, developers and processing times may vary depending on the client.
