WINNER: Daniel Fortino,
Hennesy Lane Hair

“I wanted to create that illusion when oil has spilled onto concrete, that rainbow metallic sheen effect when the light hits the concrete,” he said. In order to achieve the style, he used a range of Paul Mitchell products. “I used a foiling technique on the fringe, placing colour at the root of the foil and then changing colours throughout the mid lengths. I created depth in between with grey, to create the oil spill illusion,” says Daniel.
