How to quickly change or refresh your image, make it a little mysterious? The easiest way is to change the shade of the hair. Today, we are faced with a ton of opportunities - both professional and home dyeing, thousands of offers from world famous brands. How not to get confused here? Maybe you should stop at a professional hair dye, which is great for home dyeing? Reviews about the paint "Vella" characterize it that way. We invite you to get acquainted with the lines of this tool, their composition and palette. We will also present in the article reviews of direct customers and professional advice on the successful use of paint.
Wella Koleston line
Almost every second review about Vella paint is about the Coleston line. Why is she good? Here is a mysterious and sophisticated palette, exquisite shades that will please even the most demanding customer. Features "Coleston" and a unique formula Triluxiv. It allows you to get the effect of three-dimensional staining, luxuriously shining color.
In each package of Vella Coleston you will find a tube with dye (60 ml), disposable gloves and instructions for using the paint. Also there will be a nice bonus - color reactivator. This tool will help enhance the shade - it is used on the 15th and 30th day after staining to prevent the washing off of color. After this application, the shade, according to the manufacturer, will become even brighter and richer.
If we delve into reading the composition of the paint, we will find such an important component as beeswax. What is he good at? This element is designed to protect curls during staining. It makes each hair more dense and smooth. Therefore, almost every review of Vella paint emphasizes that the curls after staining did not deteriorate, but became soft, silky and shiny.
The composition of the funds
We remind the reader that the gentle formula of Coleston paint does not exclude the presence of ammonia in its composition. Unfortunately, permanent staining is impossible today without this component.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the full composition of the paint in the photo below.
Two variations of Wella Koleston
Sometimes in reviews of Vella hair dye there is confusion: one of the authors says that Koleston is a persistent dyeing, and some - the line was created specifically for sensitive scalp. Where is the truth here?
Both those and other authors are right. The fact is that Vella produces two variants of Coleston:
- Koleston Perfect. Before us is a persistent dye cream. Its innovative formula allows you to get a fascinating intense shade. It is she who guarantees a bright, saturated color, but at the same time healthy, well-groomed curls.
- Koleston Perfect Innosense. But this line was developed specifically for customers with sensitive scalp, a tendency to allergic reactions to paint components. The priority here is a gentle effect on the hair. It is provided by the ME + molecule. It converts the components of the paint into hypoallergenic, minimizes the negative impact on the scalp and hair structure. One minus the line - the palette here is not so extensive. The buyer is given a choice of 20 shades.
Directions Wella Koleston: mixing with oxide
In almost every review about Vella Professional, we can find a recommendation: oxide (brightening powder) is not included. You need to purchase it yourself! The manufacturer himself advises using his product called Welloxon.
What is the optimal proportion of oxide in the coloring composition? It all depends on the purpose of your staining. The hairdresser usually uses these recommendations:
- If tone-on-tone coloring is required, or a shade lighter / darker, then oxide of 6% concentration is used. In this case, you need to mix the dye with the clarifier in equal proportions.
- If clarification of curls by 2 tones is necessary, then a stronger 9% oxide is already required. The dye is mixed with it in a ratio of 1 to 1.
- If you need to lighten your hair by more than 2 tones, it makes sense to turn to an oxidizing agent of 12% concentration. In this case, one part of the paint is added to the clarifier.
- Are you planning a blonding? In this case, one part of the dye needs two parts of the oxide. Again, if the hair is lightened in a couple of tones, then 9% oxide is taken, for four to five tones - 12%.
- If you want to turn to tinting, you need to buy 19% oxide. The dye is mixed with it in a ratio of 1: 2.
- When using mixtons, hairdressers adhere to the following rule: a smaller mixton for a lighter tone. In this case, the largest volume of mixton should not be greater than the volume of the fundamental tone.
Instructions for use Wella Koleston: applying the composition to the hair
In reviews of the Vella Color Coleston hair dye, the authors share their own instructions for applying the dye composition to curls. Of course, its use is individual. However, for beginners, we still advise you to follow the classic instructions that the paint manufacturer offers:
- The composition is applied only to dry hair!
- If you are lightening, then apply the product over the entire length of the hair, after having retreated a few centimeters from the roots. This is done because the clarification of the root zone is always more active. After 15 minutes, the remnants of the coloring agent are also distributed to the hair at the roots.
- And now the reverse situation. You apply the composition to tint the roots. In this case, it is first placed on the basal area of the hair. After 10-15 minutes, it is evenly distributed along the entire length of the curls. This helps to refresh their shade.
On the hair, the composition is kept for 30 to 40 minutes. If a warm effect is expected, then the waiting time should be reduced by 10-15 minutes. In the case when you lighten your hair by 3-5 tones, it makes sense to, on the contrary, increase the exposure period of the composition by 10 minutes.
At the end of the procedure, it is necessary to completely wash off the dye from the hair under warm running water. That's the whole staining procedure!
Wella Koleston: color picker
And now let's talk about the Vella paint palette (we will mention the reviews about the use of the product below). It amazes with its wealth - the Koleston line is represented by more than 100 shades! Moreover, the corporation’s specialists are adding more and more fashionable shades to this gamut.
To make it easier to navigate in such a variety, we divide the entire palette into the main categories:

- Deep chestnut, black. They are used to create a stylish and bright appearance, give the image a touch of mystery.
- Bright red tones. Favorite category of fans of bright and extraordinary stains. The best tool for creating a creative image.

Disadvantages of Wella Koleston Paint
What is surprising in the world of the beauty industry, the paint "Vella Coleston" (reviews with photos posted below) has collected not so many negative feedback. Analysis of reviews showed that buyers and customers are left dissatisfied with just two points:
- The cost of paint is relatively high. Although it comes out much more economical than professional painting in the cabin. Since the color has to be updated every 2-3 months (the roots grow decently during this time), a pretty decent amount can come out in a year.
- Paint is still not so easy to find in a regular cosmetic store. Or in the mass markets a meager selection of shades is presented. Exit - ordering funds in online stores of professional hair cosmetics.
Product Cost Wella Koleston
In reviews of the professional hair dye "Vella" sometimes the most diverse information about the cost of this product is presented. Shatter this confusion.
To date, the average cost of one package (contains a tube with a dye with a volume of 60 ml) is 500-600 rubles.
But this is not all the cost of staining. On your own, you will need to buy a container for diluting the coloring composition, protective gloves and a brush for applying the substance to the hair. The biggest waste is a clarifier. A high-quality oxide with a volume of 1000 ml will cost no less than 600 rubles.
ILLUMINA COLOR
There are a lot of reviews about Vella Illumina hair dye. This product of a famous brand is distinguished by three indisputable advantages:
- Incredible play of light on the hair.
- Guaranteed protection of curls during staining.
- Unmatched quality.
The emphasis here is on depth, color saturation, its play in the sun. "Vella Illumin" is a qualitatively new standard in the world of beauty industry.

- Neutral tones.
This is a cold and “yogurt” blond, saturated chestnut, cold blond, soft wheat. The palette is constantly updated with new shades, fashionable in the season.
Directions ILLUMINA COLOR
We present the useful recommendations of hairdressers on the use of this paint:
- It is not recommended to mix with products of other rulers. For example, with Coleston.
- Before use, the dye should be pre-mixed with oxide. It is recommended to purchase a product from Vella. The proportions are simple: one to one - for one part of the dye, one part of the clarifier.
- For clarification at three levels, 12% oxide is used.
- For clarification in two tones, 9% oxide is used.
- To clarify one level, 6% oxide is used.
In the case when you want to make tone-on-tone or shade darker than the original, then follow a simple algorithm:
- Apply the entire dyeing mixture to the hair along the entire length from the roots to the ends. It is important to evenly distribute the composition.
- No heat holding time: 30-40 minutes, depending on how rich the color you want to get.
- With exposure to heat, it is advisable to reduce this period to 15-25 minutes.
- At the end of the process, it is important to completely wash off the dye from the hair under warm running water.
Now we will analyze the case when it is necessary to lighten hair:
- Apply the dye mixture to about the middle of the hair and to the ends, leaving the root zone untouched.
- After ten minutes, apply the composition to the hair at the roots.
- If exposed to heat, wait another 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with curls and scalp.
- Without exposure to heat, the remaining waiting time is 20 minutes.
Another case is the coloring of the roots. The coloring mass is applied to the root zone of the hair. Without exposure to heat, the waiting time is 30-40 minutes, with a warm wrap - 15-25 minutes.
Coloring WELLA COLOR TOUCH
Demi-permanent line for easy staining and unexpected experiments. But be careful - paint is not an analogue of tinted shampoo! She is able to tone change the original color of your hair.
The WELLA COLOR TOUCH palette can be divided into the following categories:
- Pure natural tones.

- Do not wash your hair before dyeing.
- Mix dye and oxide (sold separately) in non-metallic utensils only.
- Be sure to use protective gloves.
- Proportions: for 60 ml of dye 120 ml of oxide.
When staining gray hair with any of the colors, it is advisable to add to the overall composition "Natural tone" from the WELLA COLOR TOUCH range for a high-quality gray hair coverage.
If you color only the overgrown roots, then apply the composition only on the basal zone of curls. The exposure time with heat - 15 minutes, without heat - 20 minutes.
Let’s take a look at tone-on-tone or a few shades darker. In this case, the waiting time with heat is also 15 minutes, without it - 20 minutes.
If you lighten your hair, then follow this instruction:
- Apply paint along the entire length of the hair and on the ends, without affecting the root zone. Wait 20 minutes (with heat - 10 minutes). If you are staining in red tones, then expect already 30 minutes (with heat - 15 minutes).
- The second stage of dyeing is applying the residues of the product to the hair roots. Wait another 30-40 minutes (with heat - 15-25 minutes).
At the end of the procedure, be sure to rinse the composition from the head with warm running water. To keep the color on curls for as long as possible, the manufacturer recommends using special Vella shampoos for colored hair.
Wella Color Touch Reviews
Many reviews on the network about hair dye "Vella Touch". Get to know them better:
- This paint is considered demi-permanent, and not tint. This means that she paints up to 50% gray hair, can change the shade of natural hair. But Vella Touch is ineffective for lightening! If you properly care for your hair, then the paint will not spoil them much, although it will contribute to increased dryness. What is inconvenient, the instruction can be printed on the back of the package. In this case, it is almost unreadable. If you want a uniform result, then do not save on dye. His hair should be more than abundant. Responsibly refer to the subject of excerpt. The manufacturer advises 20 minutes. Deviations from this time can lead to unexpected consequences. It is stated that the color can withstand up to 20-25 washes. However, in practice, it turns pale after the third shampoo.
- An effective tool at a low price. The paint is professional, so there are no gloves, brushes and containers for mixing in the kit. Also independently purchased oxide - Color Touch Emulsion 1.9% or 4%. Note that the emulsion is taken twice as much as the coloring pigment. Paint can be applied to washed and slightly dried hair - economical use. You can dry - in this case you will get a brighter color. There are pluses after dyeing: the hair becomes glossy (as if after lamination), it becomes less greasy, their structure looks healthier, and the density of hair is added.
- Paint is not considered cheap against the background of its "brothers." The average cost of packaging: 400-500 rubles. Buyers note that it does not contain ammonia - the paint is gentle. However, this does not make the dye completely harmless to the hair. In reviews of Vella Touch paint, the richness of the palette is also noted - 44 shades. Great for toning and lightly lightening hair (when using oxide). It is important to note that the color (if you follow the instructions) is completely the same as stated in the palette. The hue is vibrant, beautifully shimmers in the light. The gentle formula of the paint is the reason for the big drawback: the product is unstable, it is quickly washed off from the hair.

- What is important, the paint is also suitable for thin, brittle, curly hair. Cost - within 600 rubles. The package will contain dye and instructions for the product in several languages. Oxide (clarifier) is purchased independently. Work with paint only in protective gloves! Before staining, it is better not to wash your hair. During the process, the dye does not change its color. When staining, there are no unpleasant sensations - tingling or burning. If you have grown roots, then you should hold the mixture on them for about half an hour, then distribute the composition along the entire length and wait another 10 minutes. The main advantage of paint: the color as a result comes out exactly the same as it was stated in the palette.
- Another review of hair dye "Vella Coleston". When using paint the burning smell of ammonia is not felt. The consistency leaves a thick, evenly distributed throughout the hair and does not flow. Great for sensitive skin - does not cause burning, does not leave wounds. However, before staining, it is still necessary to pass an allergic reaction test. The result is a beautiful pure color with your chosen shade - warm or cold. After dyeing, the hair feels good: soft, supple and shiny. There is no point in restoring them using masks and essential oils.
- And now a review about Vella Coleston paint from a professional with 15 years of experience. He defines the dye as high-ammonia, maintaining a balance with respect to both gray and porous hair. With Vella, frequent dyeing is not necessary - once every 2-3 months is enough (depending on the speed of hair growth). The effect, following the instructions, is even, dense and stable. It is very important that the paint does not dry out the hair, does not damage the scalp (the same burning sensation during the coloring process). No allergic reactions were detected in response to the inhalation of the vapor of this paint. Great for painting gray hair. However, when using it is important not to deviate from the instructions to the tool, so as not to get an unexpected effect.
