There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it." Dr. Joyce Brothers

Photos appear courtesy of © 2010 Scott Gilbert Productions What’s in a Hair Color Using a deep zigzag technique is an ideal way to seamlessly fuse together contrasting and subtle colors.

This is accented with a vibrant chili red and additional chocolate brown slices, giving this style a beautiful deep iridescent tone that fluctuates in color with the internal movement of the design.
