Multi Color Spectrum
Definition: A combination of light and dark combined with warm and cool colors.
When hair has dimension and variance in both categories it appears healthy and natural. Combining light and dark strands of hair with warm and cool tones always makes hair look natural and lively. Creating the most desirable hair colors!
Understanding how we can utilize the concept of Multi Spectrum Hair, we first need to understand each of its elements.
Warm and cool tones and Light and Dark levels
Light and darkness and tonality in hair are both composed and controlled by the combinations of the 3 primary colors. The 3 primary colors are Blue, Red and Yellow. When Primary colors are combined they create Secondary colors. These combinations of the 3 primary colors are best understood by first learning the characteristics of the primary colors.
Blue the darkest is always cool
Red the middle can be both warm or cool
Yellow the lightest is always warm
Combinations of the primary colors create the levels of lightness and Darkness in hair we will later identify by using a “Level System” They will also create tonal qualities, we will later identify by Seasons. Everyone has a BEST Season or tone that will enhance their own individual skin qualities(my color chart will help you understand).
Let’s get Started with the nitty gritty of this !
PRIMARY COLORS : TONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND LIGHTNESS AND DARKNESS LEVELS
Blue and Red (in level 3 winter, level 4 can be winter or summer, violet tones) are generally found in lightness levels 3 to 6
Blue and Yellow (winter or summer like ashy tones) are generally found in lightness levels 3 to 6
Yellow and Red ( golden Autumn like tones)generally found in lightness levels 7 to 9
Combinations of the 3 primary colors also control the lightness levels
