Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask is straightforward:
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for any allergic reactions or unexpected color results on a small, inconspicuous strand of hair.
- Tools: You'll need gloves to protect your hands from staining and a towel to protect surfaces. A wide-tooth comb can help with even distribution.
Compatibility
This mask is suitable for all hair types. However, the final color result can vary significantly based on your hair's current shade, porosity, and texture:
- Lighter Hair: Expect a more noticeable and brighter cool espresso tone.
- Darker Hair: The mask will provide a rich tone enhancement and gloss, rather than a dramatic color change.
- Porous Hair: May absorb color more intensely, so a shorter processing time might be considered if you desire a lighter effect.
Care
To prolong your color and maintain hair health:
- Weekly Application: Use the mask once a week to top up the chocolate pigments and maintain color freshness.
- Gentle Shampoo: Use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo to help minimize color fade during regular washes.
- Cool Water Rinsing: Rinsing with cooler water can help seal the hair cuticle and preserve color.
- Storage: Store the mask in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy.
