Product Information
Full details
For adult women seeking to enhance their natural beauty with permanent hair colour, the Wella Koleston Perfect ME+ Rich Natural 8/1 offers pure, balanced colour results with added shine. A key benefit is the ME+ Technology, which reduces the risk of developing new hair colour allergies. However, it's crucial to remember that an allergy alert test is still required 48 hours before each use, as allergic reactions can still occur. This product is designed for all hair types and provides up to 100% grey coverage with options for lifting.

FAQs
What does ME+ Technology do?
ME+ Technology is an innovative ingredient that helps reduce the risk of developing a new allergy to hair colourants. It does not eliminate the risk of allergic reactions entirely, and an allergy alert test is still mandatory.
How much grey hair can this product cover?
Wella Koleston Perfect ME+ Rich Natural 8/1 provides up to 100% grey coverage.
What is the mixing ratio for Koleston Perfect ME+?
The mixing ratio is simple: 1 part Koleston Perfect Hair Color to 1 part Welloxon Perfect Developer.
Can I use any developer with this product?
For optimal results and safety, it is recommended to use only Welloxon Perfect Developer with Wella Koleston Perfect ME+.
How long should I leave the colour on my hair?
The processing time varies depending on the developer used and the desired result. Refer to the specific instructions for Welloxon Perfect Developer and your chosen service (e.g., full colour, grey coverage, lifting).
How many levels can this dye lift my hair?
Depending on the specific shade and developer used, Koleston Perfect ME+ can provide up to 3 or up to 5 levels of lift.
Is this product suitable for home use?
While designed for professional use, it can be used at home by individuals familiar with hair colouring techniques. However, a 48-hour allergy alert test is crucial, and professional consultation is always recommended for best results and safety.
What is the difference between Koleston Perfect and Koleston Perfect ME+?
Koleston Perfect ME+ includes the ME+ Technology, which reduces the risk of developing new allergies compared to the previous Koleston Perfect formula.
Troubleshooting
Product does not mix to a smooth consistency
Ensure you are using the correct Welloxon Perfect Developer and that both components are at room temperature. Stir vigorously in a non-metallic bowl.
Colour result is not as expected
Verify the mixing ratio (1:1 dye to developer). Confirm the starting hair colour and condition, and ensure the correct developer strength was used for the desired lift. Perform a strand test for unpredictable results.
Scalp irritation or allergic reaction occurs during or after application
Rinse hair immediately with lukewarm water. Do not reapply colour. Seek medical advice if irritation is severe. Always perform the 48-hour allergy alert test before use.
Hair feels damaged or overly dry after colouring
Ensure hair is properly conditioned after rinsing. Use a deep conditioning treatment. Consider using a lower volume developer for future applications if significant lift is not required, or consult a professional stylist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure you have the Wella Koleston Perfect ME+ Rich Natural 8/1 dye, the appropriate Welloxon Perfect Developer (ratio 1:1), gloves, a non-metallic bowl, and an application brush.
- Allergy Alert Test: Perform an allergy alert test 48 hours before each application by applying a small amount of the mixed dye behind the ear or on the inner elbow.
- Mixing: In a non-metallic bowl, mix one part Koleston Perfect Hair Color with one part Welloxon Perfect Developer. Mix thoroughly until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Compatibility:
- Developer: Use exclusively with Welloxon Perfect Developer for optimal results. Different strengths of developer (e.g., 6% or 9%) will yield different lifting results.
- Hair Types: Suitable for all hair types, including colour-treated, virgin, and grey hair.
Care:
- Post-Colouring: Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to maintain colour vibrancy and hair health.
- Maintenance: Avoid harsh washing or heat styling immediately after colouring to allow the colour to settle.
- Storage: Store the unused portion in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. Keep out of reach of children.
