Seattle-based Ross Michaels Salon has been instrumental in creating the trend with their artists posting pics of all the iridescent locks. For the technique, the colorists look to Pravana Express Tones Violet, Pastels Luscious Lavender, and Blissful Blue accompanied by celeb stylist favorite Olaplex, which bonds the hair during chemical processes to prevent breakage.
