Let’s talk REDS... Check out this red hot look created by hair artist Holly Rosati@hollyydoeshairat the Bloom Beauty Room in Willoughby, Ohio. #PROTIPS: When going red, know that the pigment fades the fastest, BUT it is the hardest color to get out of the hair due to the size of the dye molecule. Washing hair in cold water will help prevent color from fading. Hot water opens the hair cuticle and makes the color fade faster. Always use a heat and UV protectant treatment for best results.ROOTSWella Professionals Color Touch 3/0Color Touch Emulsion 1.9% (6 volume)MID-STRANDS + ENDSWella Professionals Color Touch 66/45 + 77/45Color Touch Emulsion 1.9% (6 volume)Home Haircare Recommendations: Improve hair quality and enhance color vibrancy with Wella Professionals INVIGO Color Brilliance Vibrant Color Mask at-home treatment.
