Coloring accessories: Everything you need for hair coloring

In addition to the actual hair color or tint, which is mixed with a developer before application, the right coloring accessories are essential for successful color results.

10 things that should not be missing from your coloring accessories

From a hair color brush and a color mixing bowl to a color remover – without proper coloring accessories, perfect hair color is impossible. Here we show you everything you need for professional hair coloring:

1. Coloring brush

The coloring brush is used, for example, to apply the mixed hair color precisely to the desired areas. To ensure optimal distribution of the hair color, brushes come in various widths ranging from four to six centimeters. As an alternative, there are also 2-in-1 products that combine a coloring brush and a comb. The comb side helps to section the hair strands and distribute the product evenly through the hair.

2. Coloring bowl

To mix and prepare the hair color beforehand, there are special coloring bowls. Professional bowls feature a handle and a non-slip base for stability. Milliliter markings help ensure accurate mixing.

3. Measuring cup

When coloring hair professionally, hair color and developer must be measured precisely. The correct mixing ratio is essential for achieving a beautiful color result.

4. Color remover

If a small mistake happens while coloring hair, professional color removers gently and effectively remove color stains from the skin.

Product tip: Goldwell System Color Remover Skin is a lotion that gently and easily removes color stains from the face, ears, or neck.

5. Skin protection products

Various creams and oils help protect the skin along the hairline from redness and irritation and prevent discoloration. Unlike color removers, skin protection products are applied before the coloring service.

Product tip: Wella Invigo Service Skin Protection Cream can be easily applied along the hairline to prevent color stains.

6. Color after-treatment

To protect the color and achieve a better color result with tints, intensive toners, or colorations, we recommend using a professional color after-treatment. This not only protects the hair color but also enhances the brilliance of the result.

Product tip: Wella Service Color After-Treatment is applied directly after coloring to intensify and protect the color.

When it comes to caring for and protecting colored hair from damage, professional hairdressers immediately think of Olaplex products. You can read more about this in our Olaplex review.

7. Tube squeezer

Tube squeezers from professional hairdressing supplies help press out the last remnants of high-quality hair color from the tubes, ensuring that the product is used as efficiently as possible.

8. Coloring cape

Coloring capes protect clients’ clothing from stains during the coloring process. They are usually coated and made from impermeable special materials.

9. Coloring apron

The coloring apron, on the other hand, protects the hairdresser’s clothing from stains caused by hair colors and tints. Many aprons also feature pockets for storing hairdressing tools.

10. Highlighting cap

Some hairdressers use highlighting caps to pull out strands. These caps are usually made of silicone (for multiple use) or plastic (for single use) and have small holes through which individual strands of hair are pulled out.

All-in-one: Coloring accessory set

  • Coloring brush
  • Coloring brush with comb
