In contemporary society, the growing emphasis on appearance as a key factor in shaping one's external image has become a criterion for evaluating individuals and plays a significant role in influencing interpersonal relationships.The quickest way to alter one's appearance is by changing one's Hair style. This not only reflects an individual's sense of beauty through the medium of hair but also conveys the cultural elements valued by the society to which the individual belongs.Since color serves as a catalyst in our lives and enables us to distinguish between objects, the images evoked by color can elicit various emotional responses in individuals. Therefore, we develop a functional color plan based on scientific research. Recently, as the demands for functionality, culture, and aesthetics have evolved beyond the mere application of color in various fields, there is an increasing need for objective and rational data regarding the effects of color. As the use of color has expanded across different domains, color planning has become more sophisticated, incorporating complex elements such as image association, symbolism, functionality, safety colors, and restricted colors.It has long been recognized as essential for all living organisms, including humans. Water possesses numerous physical properties, and its transparency gives rise to a phenomenon known as refraction. The refractive properties of water distort the shapes of objects viewed through it and alter the direction and appearance of light passing through. In this study, we aim to convey the visual and sensory experience of water through hair dyeing and hairstyling, drawing inspiration from its symbolism and material properties.
