Obsessed with the Color Melt: Darken That Base

3. Step-by-Step 10-Minute Styling & Blowout Routine

In Part 3 of our breakdown for Obsessed with the Color Melt: Darken That Base, let’s walk through the exact hands-on technique I teach my clients so their hair looks freshly styled in ten minutes or less.

Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol

So, how do you achieve this stunning color melt look at home?

It’s all about creating a smooth, sleek finish with a round-brush blowout.

Start by applying a heat protectant to your hair.

And then use a round brush to blow out your hair in sections.

Use a cool shot to set the style, and finish with a light hold hairspray to keep everything in place.

For a more dramatic color melt, you can use a curling iron to add some texture and depth to your hair.

Simply wrap small sections of hair around the barrel of the curling iron.

And then release to create a beautiful, bouncy curl.
