There are three types of design elements. These three elements are form, texture, and colour. The form is the visual shape of the design. The texture is the surface appearance of the hair, and the colour is the visual reflection of light.
Design principles relating to hair designs in a multitude of ways. With hair colouring, the stylist can create fun, bold colours, or more soft natural hair colours. These can complement the client’s skin tone or their personal preference.
We can add texture to a hair design as well. When you add texture, you create more volume within the design; it can give an additional dimension to the hair while balancing the entire design all at the same time.
Colour design: Repetition
Repetition is created by applying the same colour within a given zone or shape. This type of colour design will create maximum light reflection and shine. This is the type of design used to make a full solid colour application.
Alteration: Color alternation means that you are alternating between two or more colours while applying to the hair. This is used to break up light reflection and creates the illusion of height and depth within the hair form. This type can be created throughout the entire style or within a specific zone.
Progression: Colour progression is the pattern of ascending or descending scale of colours within the hair design. These colours can go from light to dark colours or cool to warm tones. Progression can be created with a zonal pattern or along the hair strands.
Contrast: Describes the relationship between opposites. When doing contrast, the colours need to be a minimum of three levels apart. The darker colours on the hair will create depth and dimension. The lighter colours will give a pop of brightness and like it’s coming forward. This will help with creating the illusion of volume within the form.
