Behind Fractal Hues
Ian Michael Black, Aveda Global Artistic Director, Hair Color,
presents Fractal Hues, a new personal collection speaking to a
love of high fashion and strong color. The collection celebrates
Aveda Hair Color through looks that balance color, texture and
patterns using the same methodology of fashion designers.
Fractal Hues marries fashion, color and pattern together for an overall photographic
aesthetic that includes bright backdrops and high-fashion clothes. Hair is cut with a more
commercial approach and styled with soft movement to showcase the bold shades.
All looks were created with Aveda Hair Color, featuring enlightenment™ blonding,

Patch Test Guidelines
After the consultation, perform a patch test using your selected formula.
WHO
A preliminary patch test should be made
before each application on every guest.
WHEN
48 hours before the service.
WARNING
Hair colorants can cause severe allergic reactions.
Always read and follow instructions. Hair colorants
are not intended for use on persons under the age
of 16. Temporary “black henna” tattoos may
increase the risk of allergy.
HOW
Patch Test Instructions for full spectrum™ hair color:
1 Using either soap and water or alcohol, clean a small area of skin behind the ear or on the
inner surface of the forearm. Let area dry.
2 With an absorbent cotton tipped applicator, apply a small quantity of hair dye, as prepared
for use, to the area and allow it to dry.
3 Do not cover or disturb for 48 hours.
4 Examine test area 24 and 48 hours later. If no reaction has occurred, proceed at once with
hair coloring. The test should be carried out before each application.
5 The hair dye should never be used for dyeing eyebrows or eyelashes; to do so may
cause blindness.
DO NOT USE HAIR COLOR IF ANY OF THESE DANGER SIGNS APPEAR: burning, itching, swelling,
eruption or irritation. Abnormal signs such as these in or around the test area may indicate
hypersensitivity or allergy, and the product tested should not be used.
In addition, do not color hair if:
• There is a rash on face or sensitive, irritated and damaged scalp.
• Client has ever experienced any reaction after coloring hair.
• Client has experienced a reaction to a temporary “black henna” tattoo in the past.
