Product Information
Full details
Wella Color Touch 8/81 is a professional-grade semi-permanent hair color designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, multidimensional grey finish with exceptional shine. It is ideal for individuals looking to refresh existing color, add depth, or experiment with grey tones without the commitment of permanent dye. A key caveat to keep in mind is that as a semi-permanent product, the results will gradually fade with washing, requiring regular maintenance to sustain the specific 8/81 shade intensity.

FAQs
Can I use this on dark hair?
Wella Color Touch is a deposit-only color. It will not lighten dark hair and is most effective on pre-lightened or naturally light blonde hair.
How long does the 8/81 color last?
As a semi-permanent color, it typically lasts up to 20-24 washes, depending on your hair's porosity and your hair care routine.
Do I need a developer with this?
Yes, you must use the Wella Color Touch Emulsion developer to activate the color pigments.
Is this product safe for sensitive scalps?
The formula is designed to be gentle, but it is always recommended to perform a patch test 48 hours before full application.
Can I mix this with other shades?
Yes, Wella Color Touch shades are intermixable to create custom colors, but consult a professional color chart for compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Color appears too dark after processing
Ensure the processing time does not exceed 20 minutes and check that the correct developer volume was used.
Grey tone is not visible
The hair may not have been lightened to a sufficient level (pale yellow) before application; grey pigments require a very light base to show clearly.
Patchy results
Ensure hair is thoroughly saturated with the product during application and that it is evenly distributed from roots to ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional results, mix the Wella Color Touch formula with the dedicated Wella Color Touch Emulsion developer. Follow a 1:2 ratio (1 part color to 2 parts developer). Apply the mixture to clean, towel-dried hair using a bowl and brush for even saturation. Leave the product on for 15-20 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. To maintain the 8/81 grey shade, use sulfate-free shampoos designed for color-treated hair and avoid excessive heat styling, which can accelerate the fading process of cool grey pigments.
