Wella Illumina Color Opal Essence

Description

Product information "Wella Illumina Color Opal Essence"

Opal Essence by Illumina Color creates a delicate metallic shine with warm and cool reflections. The new shades from Wella have no tone depth; they are pure colours layered over the base hair colour in the respective nuance. Four metallic shades (Titanium Rose, Copper Peach, Silver Mauve and Platinum Lily) enhance the base hair colour with unique reflections and shimmer. The lighter the hair, the more intense the result.

The shades gently brighten natural and coloured hair. Depending on the curvature of the hair, the reflections change. This means that the hair colour shimmers differently with each movement and depending on the light, making cold and warm reflections visible in the hair.

Opal Essence is best showcased from a tone depth of 6 or higher. Naturally, it can also be mixed with the entire Illumina Color range to create a tone depth. This opens up an even greater variety of colours – creativity knows no bounds with Opal Essence.

Since Opal Essence has no tone depth, it is not suitable for grey coverage. When combined with a classic Illumina Color, grey hair is covered. Uneven colour results cannot therefore be corrected.

Wella BlondorPlex Cream Toner - /36 Crystal Vanilla

With the Wella BlondorPlex Cream Toner, achieve an express blonde dulling in just 5 minutes! The Cream Toner offers an express toning service in a few minutes with maximum hair protection, reducing hair breakage by up to 90%. Wella Blondorplex Cream Toner Shades The intuitive, compact palette with 3 shades and a booster is designed for ultra-cool neutralisation for blonde nuances from cool to warm. The toner is available in the following shades: /16 Lightest Pearl: For light colour levels to achieve a bright pastel tone, neutralises gold reflections /36 Crystal Vanilla: For all colour levels to create elegant, creamy gold tones /96 Sienna Beige: For all colour levels to produce a delicate rosé beige with a hint of violet, rounding off warm to neutral blonde /86 Ultra Cool Booster: Intensifies the neutralisation of gold and gold-orange reflections The integrated Plex technology protects the hair fibre during the toning service and reduces hair breakage by up to 90%. The innovative creamy formula helps rebuild the fibre connections across all hair types and structures. The alkaline formula gently lightens and counteracts gold reflections. The result: incredibly healthy-looking hair from root to tip. Application recommendation for Wella Blondorplex Cream Toner For a quick and reliable express gloss with PLEX technology, mix (Toner and Welloxon Perfect developer 1.9%) in a ratio of 1:2. The recommended processing time is 5 minutes. For an express gloss + base breaker with more intense results, mix (Toner and Welloxon Perfect developer 4%) in a ratio of 1:2. The processing time is 5 minutes. During this process, the natural root area is gently lightened, and lengths and tips are tinted simultaneously. Colour transitions are balanced. A longer processing time provides additional neutralisation for both variants. This can result in deeper, more saturated results. Note: /86 should not be used alone, but mixed with 1-5g per 30g of the selected toner and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
