This super cool (literally) color from Goldwell's new FasciNature collection uses icy hues of blue and teal to enhance a dark brunette base. And the modern undercut can be styled sleek and minimalistic or wild and carefree. For the color technique, the Color Zoom Creative Team developed "The Butterfly Effect"—a color placement inspired by the shape of butterfly wings. Â
