While researching iridescent hair color, Leslie Cook, stylist at Tangles Salon in Wichita Falls, TX, came across a pictures of an opal and immediately began testing color placements, which evolved into her organized chaos color.

"I discovered that iridescence is created by light waves that interfere with one another, so I devised a formula that created the appearance of iridescence with constructive placements of light, dark, bright and pastel colors,” says Cook.
