Fashion Shades & Vibrant Hues
Product Recommendations:
Creating fashion shades or vibrant hues can be a challenge to begin with. However, after you’ve achieved a pastel pink or bold blue, the real feat comes in keeping them looking fresh between appointments. Washing, styling and external stressors can easily cause colors prematurely and are more noticeable when it comes to brighter hues.
Luckily, there’s a new way to enhance tone and improve condition in a single step whether in the salon or at home — Wella Professionals Color Fresh Masks. With the ability to deposit color while also conditioning, Color Fresh Masks can upgrade your hue or keep them looking bold between visits.
In addition to adding color and condition, a daily color-specific shampoo and conditioner system is a must-have anytime you color your hair and is especially vital to vibrant shades. ColorMotion+ Shampoo and Conditioner is recommended for normal usage in addition to Wella Professionals Color Fresh Masks to extend the longevity of color while also strengthening strands and providing endless shine.
