We talked about face shape on page 16 and what hair designs complement
certain features, but what about hair color? Color placement plays
a key role in the hair's movement and balance, and determines which
features are accentuated and which are camouflaged, explains Redken's
Art of Consultation guide to color placement. Redken's tips to follow:
faceshapeshaircolor
Triangle
Because the
jawline is significantly
wider than the brow
bone, highlight or
lighten hair color at
the forehead; darken
hair color from the
ears down.
Square
The width of
the face is noticeably
more than 2/3 of the
length, creating the
illusion of a short face,
so darken hair color at
the temple, forehead
and jawline.
Diamond
Cheekbones
are clearly wider
than brow bone and
jawline, so highlight at
the temples and ears;
highlight or lighten hair
at the forehead and
jawline.
Circle
Darken hair
color at the cheeks and
jaw to help camouflage
curved lines; highlight
above the forehead to
add length to the face.
Inverted Triangle
Brow bone and cheekbones
are significantly
wider than jawline,
darken hair color at the
temples and forehead;
highlight or lighten hair
from the bottom of the
ears to the top of the chin.
Oval
As it is the ideal
face shape, any hair
color placement will
work; try to avoid accentuating
length with
highlights.
Oblong
As the face is
noticeably longer than
it is wide, darken hair
color at the forehead;
highlight or lighten hair
from the temple down
to the jaw.
