    GOLDWELL SPHERES = ENTER A NEW DIMENSION OF HAIR DESIGN

    WIN A TOPCHIC GIFT SET * 

    Achieve unique, dynamic color effects with Goldwell’ s new hair color techniques.  The “Spheres” color techniques feature sections that fuse at the edges, overlap or accentuate specific areas.

    Create vivid color effects by applying the ELEMENTS OF DESIGN:  

    Contrast- Contrasting colors (minimum 3 – 4 levels difference), shapes or lines making every style more attractive.

    Alteration- Two or more colors are applied alternately on consecutive slices.

    Diffusion- Two or more colors are applied alternately on the same strand of hair.
    To achieve a soft flow of the colors they are pulled into each other at the dividing lines.

    Repetition- Color repetitions achieve a uniform color impression in any section.  Within a section, fine slices are treated with the same color.

    Harmony- Shades with the same color level and a similar color character generate
    harmonious tone on tone results. Two or more colors are applied alternately on consecutive slices.

    Combine these design elements and create extraordinary color effects with the “Spheres” techniques.

    WIN A TUBE OF EACH OF THE TOPCHIC HIGHLIFT SERIES (TOTAL OF 10), TOPCHIC DEVELOPERS (30 AND 40 VOLUME), THE NEW HIGHLIFT COLOR CARD AND FREE ACCESSORIES!
