FAQs

What is the difference between Wella Illumina Color and other Wella hair colors?

Wella Illumina Color is known for its unique 'Microlight Technology' which creates sheer, multi-dimensional color that reflects light beautifully, offering exceptional luminosity. It aims for a more nuanced and luminous result compared to opaque permanent colors.

Do I need a special developer for Wella Illumina Color?

Yes, for optimal and predictable results, Wella Illumina Color is recommended to be used with Wella Welloxon Perfect developers.

Can I use Wella Illumina Color on gray hair?

Yes, Wella Illumina Color can provide coverage for gray hair, especially when using a 6% (20 vol) Welloxon Perfect developer. For very resistant gray hair, mixing a natural shade with 5/35 might be beneficial for increased coverage.

How long does the color typically last?

Wella Illumina Color is a permanent hair color, meaning the color change is permanent. However, the vibrancy can fade over time with washing and environmental exposure, typically lasting several weeks.

What is the processing time for Wella Illumina Color?

The standard processing time is 30 minutes without heat. With heat (e.g., Climazon), it is 15 minutes + 10 minutes for the color to cool down.

Can I mix different Wella Illumina Color shades together?

Yes, Wella Illumina Color shades can be mixed together to create custom colors. Always ensure you maintain the 1:1 mixing ratio with the appropriate Welloxon Perfect developer.

What does the color code 5/35 mean?

The '5' indicates the level (light brown), and the '/35' indicates the primary and secondary reflects (gold and red-violet mahogany). So, 5/35 represents a light brown with gold and red-violet mahogany tones.

Troubleshooting

Color outcome is too dark or too light.

Ensure the correct Wella Welloxon Perfect developer strength was used and the mixing ratio was precisely 1:1. Verify the processing time according to the instructions. Consider the hair's porosity and base color; lighter hair may require a lower volume developer.

Uneven color application.

Thoroughly saturate the hair with color, ensuring even distribution from root to tip. Section hair properly during application. If hair is porous, pre-treating with a Wella color service product might help ensure even absorption.

Color fades quickly.

Ensure color-safe shampoos and conditioners are used. Avoid washing hair with hot water. Minimize exposure to harsh environmental factors like chlorine or excessive sun without protection.

Scalp irritation during or after application.

Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application. If irritation occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Ensure the product is not left on the scalp for longer than recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a beautiful, luminous, and multi-dimensional color effect.
  • Long-lasting and permanent color.
  • Suitable for all hair types.
  • Enhances hair shine and provides protection.
  • Professional-grade quality for salon-like results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Wella Illumina Color is a permanent hair color that requires mixing with a Wella Welloxon Perfect developer before application. The standard mixing ratio is 1:1 (one part color to one part developer). The choice of developer strength (e.g., 6% or 9%) depends on the desired lift and the client's hair condition.

Compatibility: This product is designed to work optimally with Wella Welloxon Perfect developers. While it is formulated for all hair types, the final result will be influenced by the hair's porosity, natural pigment, and previous color treatments. It is not recommended to mix Wella Illumina Color with other brands of developers or color.

Care: To maintain color vibrancy and hair health after application:

  1. Use Color-Safe Shampoos and Conditioners: Opt for products specifically designed for colored hair to prevent premature fading.
  2. Minimize Heat Styling: Excessive heat can cause color to fade faster. Use heat protectant sprays when styling.
  3. Avoid Frequent Washing: Washing hair less often can help preserve the color.
  4. Rinse with Cool Water: Cool water helps to seal the hair cuticle, retaining color molecules.
