What is color application predominantly aimed at achieving?

Color application is predominantly aimed at achieving uniformity in hair color. This means that when a color treatment is applied, the goal is often to ensure that the color is evenly distributed throughout the hair, resulting in a consistent appearance from roots to ends. Uniformity in hair color enhances the overall aesthetic and shows off the vibrancy and richness of the chosen shade.

While color correction addresses issues like unwanted hues or uneven areas, it is typically a more specific solution rather than the overarching goal of color application. Color retention focuses on keeping the vibrancy and longevity of the hair color after it's been applied but does not pertain to the actual application process itself. Color experimentation, while important in a creative context, is not the primary objective when applying color; rather, it is part of the creative exploration that may lead to decisions about what uniform color to achieve. Thus, aiming for uniformity is a foundational principle in the practice of hair coloring.
