DF 288 - Convergence

Technical precision, forethought in planning that incorporates conVergence (the converging of hair)
to A COMMON GUIDE POINT, GIVES LIMITLESS OPTIONS.
Looks feature a lot more layering, some with even quite short internal layering. This DF aims to improve the efficiency of what would be additional steps in the sculpting process while emphasizing the designer’s speed, accuracy and logic. Design options are limitless, but they require the designer’s forethought in planning the position of the point(s) and line(s) toward which lengths are converged. Explore the possibilities of different convergence points along various directions in which the sculpted hair can unfold. These possibilities uncover the abundant style options that DF convergence offers for your fashion-conscious salon clients.
