1. Take Circular Sections
Melody likes to take circular or crescent-shaped sections around the head when color melting. Why? It’s easier to create movement in the hair with radial sections. Once the hair is sectioned, work in three parts starting in the back, then moving towards the sides to color melt the hair.
Pro Tip: Before you get started on the color, spray PRAVANA Purify & Revive PRIME through the hair to neutralize any metals or buildup in the time it takes to mix your color.

2. Neutralize Warmth With Blue Violet
When Melody was just starting out, one of the things she struggled with was toning Level 6, 7 and 8 hair—the hair was either too warm, too cool or too muddy. If you’re experiencing the same problem, PRAVANA ChromaSilk Beige Series shades are the solution. The new shade collection features blue violet undertones, which neutralizes the orange and yellow pigments found when lifting Level 6 through 8.
3. Use Two Base Formulas
If the client prefers a look that’s more lived-in and natural, Melody likes to start her color melt with a base formula that’s close to the client’s starting level and a second base shade that’s slightly darker underneath.
Here’s how she does it:
- First, tap the roots using Formula A.
- Then, follow with Formula B right underneath as a second base shade and melt the two together.
4. Keep Depth In The Back & Brightness In The Front
Set yourself up for success with strategic placement. For this technique, Melody’s goal is to create depth in the back and leave brightness around the front hairline. Here’s how!
Add depth to the back:
Extending Formula B or C (the midshaft formula) lower is going to create more depth and dimension at the back of the head.
Maintain a bright face frame:
To add brightness to the front around the face frame, Melody paints Formula D (the ends formula) further up the hair as if she were painting balayage highlights.
