Contrast is achieved with intersecting horizontal and vertical lines for strong styles.

Understanding Form and Space

Hairstyles should have balanced proportions with form defined by length, width, and depth.
Space surrounding the form is important for the overall style and may include curls, curves, and various textures.

Wave Patterns and Texture

Hair's unique wave patterns (straight, wavy, curly) affect the style's volume and light reflection.
Temporary texture changes can be achieved with heat and wet styling methods, while permanent changes require chemical services.

The Role of Color in Design

Hair color contributes both visually and psychologically, influencing looks and perceptions of features.
Light and warm colors create an illusion of volume, whereas dark and cool colors recede to reduce volume.
Alternating color highlights and lowlights can establish depth and dimension in the hairstyle.

Art and Design Principles

Key principles include proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony, all essential for cohesive hair designs.
