When the Guy Tang Hair Battle came around, Tiffany Galaviz @tiffjuanaglam knew exactly how she was going to master her galaxy-inspired color creation, and of course, BTC was there for every moment. As the only stylist who chose a blonde model to start with, Tiff knew her goal from the very beginning—create the cleanest palette possible and build a metallic masterpiece from there.

 

When we asked her how it was going during the nine hours she was working on her model, her answer was clear and emotional. “This is most beautiful canvas I’ve ever created in my life…and it happened on the best day it could,” Tiff revealed. Check out Tiff’s insane color transformation, complete with color formulas and a how-to!

    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.
