FAQs
What is the difference between Color Touch Emulsion 4% and other strengths?
The 4% emulsion is typically used for enhancing tone, deepening shades, and refreshing color. Lower strengths might be used for lighter toning or color refreshing, while higher strengths (if available) would be for different specific purposes and often involve more activation.
Can I use Wella Color Touch Emulsion 4% on virgin hair?
Wella Color Touch is designed for use on colored or highlighted hair to refresh or enhance tone. While it can be used on virgin hair for slight tone enhancement, it does not provide significant lift or cover gray effectively.
Is this product ammonia-free?
Yes, Wella Color Touch Emulsion is designed to be used with Wella Color Touch and Color Touch Relights, which are ammonia-free demi-permanent hair color systems.
How long does the color last?
As a demi-permanent color, Wella Color Touch typically lasts through 15-24 washes, depending on hair condition, aftercare, and washing frequency.
Do I need to perform a patch test?
Yes, it is always recommended to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use of any hair color product, including Wella Color Touch, to check for skin sensitivity.
Can I mix different Wella Color Touch shades with this emulsion?
Yes, Wella Color Touch shades can be mixed with the Color Touch Emulsion according to the desired color result and following the specific mixing guidelines provided for each shade.
What happens if I use more or less emulsion than recommended?
Using an incorrect ratio can lead to unpredictable color results, such as the color being too light, too dark, or not developing properly. Always adhere to the recommended mixing ratio specified in the product instructions.
Troubleshooting
Color result is too dark or too light.
Ensure the correct Wella Color Touch shade was used and that the mixing ratio with the emulsion was precise. Verify the application was even and the processing time was accurate according to the product instructions.
Uneven color application or patchiness.
Confirm that the hair was properly sectioned and saturated with the color mixture during application. Ensure the emulsion was thoroughly mixed with the color formula before application.
Color fades quickly.
While demi-permanent, rapid fading might indicate improper rinsing or the use of harsh shampoos. Rinse thoroughly after application, use color-safe shampoos, and consider using post-color care products like Wella Color Motion+.
Hair feels dry after coloring.
Ensure the emulsion was fully rinsed out. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner or treatment designed for colored hair. Avoid over-processing or using excessive heat on the hair.
