Anytime you Google, Instagram, or TikTok search for the latest in hair and beauty, hair repair is right up there with the latest color trends — and we’re here for it! We’ve finally reached a time where clients understand that the key to achieving the color they want and keeping it that way comes down to how we treat our hair between appointments.
To keep up with the latest Cowgirl Copper, Cinnamon Brunette or simply add brilliance to your natural hair color, there are a few tricks of the trade you’ll need to lean on — namely Wella Professionals Shinefinity and ULTIMATE REPAIR. Curious about these two powerhouses? We’ll discuss the details below.
What Goes Into Color Upkeep
We see it, we want it, we then get annoyed when it fades in just a few weeks — it’s a hairstylist’s story as old as time. Unless you’re born with a hair color you love, you’ll need to invest (at least a little bit of) time and energy into the upkeep of your shade. Lucky for you, with the latest innovations from Wella Professionals, we’re keeping it simple.
For Starters
Find a Wella Professionals Shinefinity Shade that you can ask for each time you visit the salon. We’re not talking when you go for your Koleston Perfect root touch-up or bi-yearly balayage appointment — we mean when you go to the salon for blowouts, trims, or for a Shinefinity service on its own. By adding regularly scheduled Shinefinity treatments, you can easily keep your tone and notice a Shine You Can Feel while also adding up to 250% shiner hair*, up to 50% smoother hair**, and up to 50% softer hair**. Not to mention, Shinefinity regulates the pH of your hair for balanced color results for up to 6 weeks.
If you don’t normally dye your hair, Wella Professionals Shinefinity Clear now available in a new XL (1L) size, can be applied to any hair color to add shine, and aid in smoothness and softness.
Next, Let’s Talk About Care
By investing in solid care products, you’ll find your color lasts longer and feels better. This is ideal not only for styling but also to show off your color in its best light. When damage is repaired and the pH balance is looked after, the cuticle falls in a more closed position, meaning you’ll notice even more shine. To get the most out of your style, cleanse the hair with Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo & Conditioner. This daily shampoo and conditioner contains Metal Purifier technology to help remove impurities within the hair that cause damage to rebuild the hair from the inside out. Over time, this encourages better color and manageability.

Finally, Styling…
It-girl Sofia Richie-Grainge knows this trick well — use a treatment to get the style you’re after. We love swapping a blowout for a sleek bun any day of the week. Not only is it a quick and effortless style, but it cuts down on heat damage and allows you to get creative with your stylers. To repair damaged hair and create a sleek look, prep freshly washed hair with Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue, comb through and pull into a low bun. Miracle Hair Rescue repairs hair damage in 90 seconds***for 99% less breakage****and 12x smoother*****hair.
