FAQs

What is the primary use of Wella Welloxon Perfect 12%?

The 12% (40 Volume) developer is primarily used for significant hair lightening, achieving maximum lift when coloring or bleaching.

Can I use Welloxon Perfect 12% on my scalp?

While technically possible, it's generally recommended for experienced professionals only due to the high volume, which can cause irritation or damage if not used correctly. Always follow specific product instructions and perform a patch test.

How long should I leave the color mixture with 12% developer on?

Processing time varies greatly depending on the specific Wella color or lightener product used, the desired result, and the client's hair type and condition. Always refer to the instructions on the color/lightener packaging. Monitor the hair closely during processing.

Is Welloxon Perfect 12% suitable for all hair types?

It is best suited for virgin hair or hair that can withstand significant chemical processing. It should be used with extreme caution on fragile, damaged, or chemically treated hair, and a strand test is highly recommended.

How does the 12% volume differ from other Welloxon Perfect volumes?

The 12% volume provides the highest level of lift among the Welloxon Perfect developers, making it suitable for drastic lightening. Lower volumes (e.g., 4%, 6%, 9%) offer less lift and are used for depositing color, covering gray, or achieving subtle lightening.

What does 'Me+' refer to in relation to Koleston Perfect?

The 'Me+' molecule in the New Koleston Perfect is a component designed to reduce the risk of developing a new hair dye allergy. Welloxon Perfect is the recommended developer to be used with this reformulated Koleston Perfect.

How do I ensure I get the best color results with 12% developer?

Accurate mixing ratios, even application, and precise timing are crucial. Always use with Wella Koleston Perfect, Magma, or Blondor as intended, and perform a strand test to predict the outcome and check hair condition.

Troubleshooting

Color is too light or brassy

This can occur if the 12% developer was left on too long or if the starting hair color was very dark. Ensure accurate timing and consider using a lower volume developer for less lift or a toner to neutralize brassiness.

Scalp irritation or burning sensation

This is often due to prolonged contact or individual sensitivity. Ensure gloves are worn, avoid applying directly to the scalp for extended periods, and rinse immediately if discomfort occurs. Do not use on irritated or broken scalp skin.

Uneven lightening or color application

Thorough mixing and precise application are key. Ensure the developer and color/lightener are fully combined and applied evenly section by section. Check for adequate saturation of the hair strands.

Hair feels dry or damaged after service

The high lift of 12% developer can impact hair integrity. Always follow up with a deep conditioning treatment or mask. Ensure the hair was in good condition prior to the service and consider strand testing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides maximum lift for dramatic lightening results.
  • Creamy consistency allows for smooth application and good control.
  • Ensures accurate color development when used with Wella color systems.
  • Facilitates quick and efficient mixing, saving time during services.
  • Easy to rinse out, streamlining the post-color process.

Cons

  • Higher risk of scalp irritation or damage if not used correctly due to 12% volume.
  • Requires advanced technical skill and careful timing to prevent over-processing.
  • May not be suitable for all hair types, especially fragile or previously compromised hair.
  • Potential for dryness if not followed by appropriate conditioning treatments.
  • Can cause significant lightening, which may be undesirable for subtle color adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with Wella Koleston Perfect, Magma, and Blondor.
  • Always ensure the chosen color or lightener product specifies compatibility with a 12% (40 Volume) developer.

Setup & Application:

  1. Wear gloves at all times during mixing and application.
  2. In a non-metallic bowl, mix the developer with the chosen hair color or lightener according to the specific product instructions. A common ratio for Koleston Perfect is 1:1, but always refer to the color manufacturer's guidelines.
  3. Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting with sections that require the most lift or are furthest from the scalp if performing virgin applications.
  4. For on-scalp applications, use with caution and shorter processing times. For off-scalp applications (e.g., foils, highlights), higher volumes like 12% can be used with careful monitoring.
  5. Process according to the specific color or lightener instructions, monitoring the hair's lift and condition closely.
  6. Rinse thoroughly with water, shampoo, and follow with a Wella after-treatment conditioner.

Care:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly sealed after each use.
  • Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
