Transform to the left deliberatelyClick the tick when you feel transform is ready.Do some amount of correction to have a flow in the colors while we do dispersion. Select the part and duplicate it and transform itNote that it does not need to have precise correction.Change layer orders accordingly.

Eg: I have merged those 3 layers of head to ease its refereneTo merge layers, Select the layers and click 'Merge Layers'Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian BlurBlur the head layer.
