"The future of hair color is all about dimension," explains Sharon De Berardinis, Color Director, at the CT salon. "To maintain dimension, illuminate the face and show texture, you need to use strong colors in the interior of the hair," advises Sharon. "For instance, on a natural dark blond head of hair, I place lighter blond underneath so that when the hair moves, the lighter colors shine through."

Since returning from Italy, Sharon has been using new color techniques to achieve the most vibrant and modern color. The Flash Crochet Technique (the exact opposite of the Crochet cutting technique), leaves the hair filled with rich bursts of color.

"The hair is divided from the back to the front and then sliced and weaved vertically. The back part is the starting point and then I move forward to the temple and diagonal from the crown forward," explains Sharon.

The end result is a natural as it is modern - the flashes of color create a light reflecting illusion that truly illuminates the face.
