Recommended Care for Red Shades:

For an effortless way to keep your tone looking its best at home, be sure to apply Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask in Copper Glow as needed. This easy-to-use mask will revive and refresh your color and prolong its vibrancy.

Due to the intensity of red and copper shades, these tones tend to fade much quicker than other colors. For this reason, after color and at-home care are key to extending the longevity of the shade. To foster color retention, ColorMotion+ Post-Color Treatment should be used in the salon and ColorMotion+ Shampoo and Conditioner should be utilized regularly at home.

If your client is looking for a more ingredient-conscious selection, send them home with Wella Professionals Elements Renewing Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Spray to add moisture, tame frizz and add endless shine.
