20 The Colorist | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2014 | thecoloristmag.com Deb Gavin solar fl air Deb Gavin of Keratin Complex looks through a prism and sees hair color. H air artists can fi nd inspiration in the simplest things, like watching how light bursts into a rainbow of colors when refracted through a piece of glass. T ese colors can be seen throughout nature as well and in combinations that both surprise and delight. "Warm sits next to cool, vibrant sits next to muted, and it all works harmoniously," says Keratin Complex's International Artistic Director for Color T erapy Deb Gavin, who created the 2014 Prismatic Collection from this maxim. "We wanted to bring out the brilliant color in the hair through light and movement," Gavin says. T ese looks incorporate vivid, prismatic hues—red, orange and yellow in the Solar technique—by placing the colors in such a way that the viewer's eye acts as the prism, splitting the light and picking out the myriad hues within the hair.
