The Colour by JANE STACEY: ‘The Atomic’ is a contrast in colour with irregularity of application in panels, which define the final effect within the shape of this haircut. A root bombing technique is used in sections to create an internal shaded effect and is accentuated by a stretching technique into the lengths and ends, this then creates internal deep texture and a lighter, however more solid exterior. The colour was overall influenced by black and white photography, and the way it can enhance shaded areas within a shape and the appeal of the monochromatic finish.
