Our new Denim Code collection celebrates denim in all of its versatility—decade after decade, it's always part of the fashion language, whether it's dressed up, dressed down, distressed, worn in or rocked out. Several specifi c hair color techniques are part of the Denim Code, and like denim itself, each is completely customizable for every client in your chair. ➺ TRI-DYE, a modern spin on tie-dye, is a triple color diff usion. For every- day wear, keep shade levels close—for a high-fashion fi nish, formulate with more contrast. In Tri-Dye, there are three shades—light, medium and dark. T e darkest tone is placed at the base for depth, the lightest shade is blended through the midsections and the mid-range tone is diff used onto the ends. T e color is applied to thin sections in a bricklay pattern. ➺ WASHED SILBER is a smudging technique that allows cool, silvery pearl glints of light to peek through a smoky base.
