'Colour Melting' Is The Next Big Hair Trend

The latest and greatest in hair trends.

When it comes to hairstyles, we can't seem to commit to just one.

At first we were all obsessed with ombre.

And then we got over it.

Next came balayage. Again, we were obsessed.

And then we got over that too.

Fast forward to now. Our new obsession? Colour melting.

"Melting is a technique that blends the highlights with the base colour of the hair so you don’t have any harsh lines," George Papanikolas, Matrix StyleLink stylist, tells BuzzFeed.

Unlike the bold transitional colour that ombre brings, and the strategically placed highlights balayage creates, colour melting is all about a smoother process that creates a more gradual and natural blending effect. So gradual, in fact, you can't even tell where one colour begins and another ends from roots to end.

"The difference between this and regular highlights is that you use multiple shades to create the ‘melted’ effect," Papanikolas says.
