Work In Diagonal Sections
Working in diagonal sections when applying a root smudge will result in a softer finish. Applying a root smudge in straight sections will result in harsh lines that the client won’t appreciate, especially if they like to pull their hair up.

Keep A Comb On Hand
Stylists should keep a specialized color comb or a fine toothed comb handy when color melting. Juli prefers using a fine toothed comb, because there might be areas that need added dimension and it’s easier to create v-shaped pockets in the hair using a fine toothed comb.

Achieving The Perfect Blend
Before applying the base color, melt the root smudge down using a comb. When the base color is applied it will blend into the root smudge to produce a natural, third transition color. Once the toners have been applied to the entire section, run a fine toothed comb through the hair to continue melting them together for a seamless blend.
