The Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask in Cool Espresso is designed for users who want to refresh their brown hair, add cool cocoa tones, or subtly enhance their existing color without the commitment of permanent dye. It's particularly effective for maintaining salon-colored brown shades between appointments or for first-time users experimenting with a temporary color change.
Prepare Hair: Shampoo your hair as usual. Gently towel-dry to remove excess water, leaving it damp.
Apply Mask: Wear gloves to avoid staining hands. Apply the mask evenly through your hair, focusing on areas where you want the most color. Ensure full saturation for best results. You can use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it thoroughly.
Process: Leave the mask on for 10 minutes. For a more subtle effect or on very porous hair, you might reduce the time slightly. For deeper conditioning and color, you can extend up to 20 minutes (check manufacturer's recommendation).
Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. No need for a separate conditioner, as the mask provides deep conditioning.
Style: Style your hair as desired. Expect satin-soft hair with a lustrous gloss and a refreshed cool espresso hue.
The color will gradually fade after each wash, making it ideal for those who like to frequently change their look or refresh their existing shade. Weekly use is recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the cool espresso pigments.
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.
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.
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.
