ColorDesignUSA Artistic Director Alex De Rango and his team—Kaycee Childs, ColorDesignUSA educator, and Steffanie Conley, ColorDesignUSA National Director of Training—recommended adding gold and red bursts of color in a free-form pattern to create dimension and pizazz in this model’s level 4 virgin hair.
They call the technique "Color Bursting."
The team debuted the Color Bursting technique at the Denver stop of the Concrete Catwalk Educational Tour, which is bringing new color and design inspirations to stylists via ColorDesignUSA distributors across the country.
