Beseau painted on different amounts of each shade for every section
of her client's hair. This ensured that you could clearly see each one
of the pastel hues no matter how the hair is parted. For her client's
bangs, Beseau only applied the purple and green to create face-framing
highlights. The whole process took about two hours.
If you're not into the natural, dark root look, why not consider gem roots as a unique alternative the next time you're getting a touch-up?
Crystals. Whether you believe in their powers or not, you have to
admit this: they've quickly, fully taken over the beauty world. There's shimmery crystal makeup, plenty of crystal-infused skin-care products,
and, of course, hair inspired by the sparkly stones. Right now, we're
loving "gem roots," a multicolored look created by Las Vegas-based
hairstylist Chita Beseau that combines the rainbow roots trend and crystal craze with the biggest thing in hair color this spring, muted pastel tones.
Not
100 percent sure what rainbow roots are? It involves hairstylists
coloring only the root area of someone's hair with every shade of
ROYGBIV. Now that we're on the same page, let's get back to gem roots.
Looking
to recreate the color effect seen in geodes and other crystals, Beseau
painted purple, mint, and pink dyes onto her client's platinum blonde
hair. Typically, these colors are applied all over or just at the ends.
Focusing them just on the roots is a fun way to try out the muted pastel
trend for spring without having to color your whole head. When they
fade away, you're once again left with blonde hair.

dyes that were used by Beseau also pay homage to the spiritual stones.
The purple she applied to her client's roots is called Purple
Tourmaline. She chose this as the darkest shade of the trio to go on the
roots "to create depth as I have seen in geodes and other mineral
rocks," she tells Allure. Additionally, the pink shade, which came third in the pastel sequence, was named after rose quartz. The pale green, on the other hand, isn't from the same collection, but is still on-theme with its moniker, Mystical Mint.
