Product Information

You should always apply color to the most stubborn grey hairs first. As they’re more resistant to color, they’ll benefit from the extra development time. Now, you know what ‘color chosen’ means – it’s the desired hair hue – while the ‘starting point’ is a combination of the hair history and the underlying pigment. Let’s break each of them down… Hair History This is also a good time to make your client aware of the steps involved in crafting a platinum blonde. Sometimes you can reach bright, white hair in one session, but on coloured or naturally dark hair, it may take two or more hair salon appointments to get to that desired silver shade. 2. Choose the Perfect Lightener Who it’s for: Those who want an intensely vibrant colour to transform their shade, level up their highlights or balayage, or banish brassiness as part of a colour correction service. Demi-permanent hair colours are also able to sweep away your first greys, while giving you softer regrowth for a beautifully blended look. Plus, they’re perfect for adding lowlights, a root smudge or a root shadow, so you can upgrade your look with high shine and boosted dimension.

How it works: If you’re going for a lighter shade, a lightener is usually applied as the first step in your colour appointment. Your colourist will sweep it through hair with your technique of choice (e.g. ombre highlights, balayage, babylights), then allow it to develop with or without foils. Keep in mind that, for bigger transformations, your colourist may need to lift your hair across a number of appointments. This is done to protect your hair’s condition and ensure you reach your picture-perfect shade. Is it a root shadow they want? Again, use the depth chart to determine which shade will create a gentle contrast that offers your client a born-with-it quality. Lightening is required if the shadow is lighter than the natural base. Otherwise, use demi-permanent color like Color Touch or permanent Koleston Perfect to smudge and shade the crown area. to smudge and shade the crown area.Try: Demi-permanent Color Touch, which is an ammonia-free hair colour that creates a radiant finish, or opt for Color Touch Plus to achieve up to 70% grey coverage. You can also try semi-permanent Color Fresh for up to 30% coverage. What type of coverage do they want? Find out if they’re hoping for a soft blend or more opaque coverage. This is key before mixing up a formula, as it’s essential you choose the right colour product.

First up, it’s important to understand that Wella’s Color Fresh is a professional colour product and known for its use in salons too. So you can rest assured that it is 100% stylist recommended. The difference between an off-the-shelf box dye and a professional salon hair colour lies in its makeup. Our colour experts explained that Wella’s Color Fresh contains specially designed colour enhancing qualities. The acidic pH formula in Color Fresh is ammonia-free and holds a conditioning vitamin complex. So not only will it help enhance your colour, but it’ll also add a natural looking shine to your chosen shade. Box dyes differ in that their ‘one-size-fits-all’ formula results in a single tone colour. This can make hair colour look flat and dare we say it… dull. If you’d like to know more about the science behind salon professional colour vs. box dyes, read our article: ‘Let us prove there’s no colour like a salon colour’. It’s vital to add enough natural to your client’s target shade. This is how you ensure the finished look appears flawlessly natural. The Koleston Perfect Pure Naturals family features a spectrum of warm and cool tones, each offering up to 100% coverage of greys. Not sure how much to use? Add in ⅓ of a Pure Naturals shade on hair that’s 30%-50% grey and ½ of a Pure Naturals shade for hair that's 50%-100% grey. 2. Cover Stubborn Greys First How it works: Permanent hair colours are pretty clever. The colour molecules start out completely clear, and it’s only when they interact with the pH of your hair strands that they become pigmented. This is a process called ‘oxidation’, and you might have already seen it in action. If you’ve noticed your hairdresser apply colourless formulas that transform before your eyes, they may have given you a permanent shade. PERFORM AN ALLERGY ALERT TEST 48 HOURS BEFORE EACH TIME YOU COLOR EVEN IF THE CLIENT HAS USED COLORING PRODUCTS BEFORE. SO REMEMBER TO BUY THE PRODUCT 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

How it works: Like permanent shades, demi-permanent hair colours are able to open the hair cuticle. However, they don’t go as deep; instead, they enter the first layer for a high-shine colour change. Your colourist may apply a demi-permanent hue directly to your hair, or over the top of pre-lightened sections to personalize the finished look. How it works: If you’re achieving temporary hair colour with a colour-depositing conditioner, your treatment is applied to clean, damp hair and left to develop before you rinse thoroughly. The pigments will enhance the hair surface, and gradually fade with every wash. Top up any time to boost vibrancy. Start the process by selecting a root colour. Ask your client if they want a perfect match, a soft, subtle smudge or gray coverage. Then, mix up their formula accordingly. If it’s an identical match they crave, use Wella’s depth chart to figure out what level their natural hair is, as well as the already-lightened ends. This will help you figure whether you need to lighten roots – and by how many levels – so you know which product to reach for.
