    Using a Color Melting Technique (Learned from @vividartistichairdesign), take diagonal back sections in the back two quadrants, and diagonal back sections in the front two quadrants, alternate Formulas D, E, and F randomly to 1- to 2-inch subsections throughout the hair. Apply one color right where the shadow root ends (barely overlapping to melt) to a few inches down and then a different formula just below that, alternating applying just one formula on a complete strand, two formulas on a strand, and then sometimes all three on a strand.
