Colour wheel and corrective hair colour
Corrective hair colour
The 'colour wheel' and 'star' is made up of three primary colours (red, blue, yellow) and three secondary colours (green, orange, violet). Each primary and secondary colour has an opposite. It is important to know these opposite colours as it is needed when correcting unwanted colour.
e.g. If a client has bright green hair, you would have to neutralise the green with red.
