Why do we use the colour wheel in hairdressing?

The colour wheel is an essential tool in hairdressing because it helps stylists understand colour relationships and how to achieve desired hues. It illustrates primary, secondary, and tertiary colours, allowing hairdressers to mix dyes effectively and correct unwanted tones. By using complementary colours on the wheel, they can neutralize unwanted shades, ensuring a more balanced and vibrant final result. Additionally, the colour wheel aids in visualizing trends and creating harmonious colour palettes for clients.
