Wella Kolestint Hair Color Review
Now I was very scared to color my whole hair..though I have got streaks before..I thought of going with streaks again and as mom colors her whole hair…I got basic black for her..see has used various other brands before..
I had got a violet streak before from Lakme salon..which after few months faded to light brown.
I got Plum for streaks..I thought of going with lowlights this time as a streak at the end of hair is IN these days and looks nice with open hair..and here is my experience..
Wella Kolestint hair color pack contains four things..and are named 0 to 3 on them..They have
- Pre coloration treatment
- Hair color creme
- Developer
- After color Intense Shine Treatment ( Conditioner)
MRP: Rs 519/-
They have a detailed instruction leaflet along and a pair of gloves to color the hair. Here it is in easy language:
Step 1 is to apply the pre coloration treatment.
Step 2 is to mix the color creme and developer in equal qty properly untill they merge.
Step 3 is to apply the color on your hair and let it stay for 40-45 minutes.
Step 4 is to wash off the color with plain water until the water comes out clear.
Step 5 is to apply the after color treatment..keep on for 2 minutes and wash off.

So since I had to get a streak I tied my other hair with a clip..followed the steps and used aluminium foil to cover the streak. If you are coloring whole hair you can directly mix the cream in the developer bottle..but if you are getting streaks..you should mix the required qty in a plastic bowl.
The color is ammonia free and the conditioner is quite good. It overall keeps your hair soft and shiny..but the only problem is the color payoff…it does not match upto the level required.
Some tips for whole hair coloring:
1. If you are coloring your whole hair make sure you wash your hair 2 days before as the natural oils of hair will help coloring better.
2. Apply vaseline or petroleum jelly on forehead and skin around to protect skin from getting colored..
3. Wash off the excess stains on skin immediately after coloring.
4. If you feel any irritation…stop immediately and do not color more and wash off..

For me the plum color did not show up..its hardly visible..for my mom the black worked decent enough but not that completely dark though.

Nice review Bhumika 😀
I think this product is much useful at such a high price. Very detailed review!
oh nice. You know i tried this too.. just reviewed it. 😛 and I think the colour doesn’t show up much. I’m talking about black only.. but as far as plum is concerned, They did mention that if you have dark hair and want to try a lighter colour, you might need to bleach it first.. try that.. hopefully it’ll work. 🙂
@rakshanda : thanks..
@kamini: these colors work for lighter hair more
@ik: Ya I read…me scared of bleach… :I
I love my hair..:/
good one bhumika
My mum is loving this one. Even kuheli said that plum/burgundy did not work for her mum. May be its the color
thanks shivani..
may be nivedita..that would be the problem..

i think its best to go to a professional colorist for getting streaks & higlights
@ik: :p
@shooting star: ya I did get a streak from lakme salon n dat was fine..but dey must be using same colors na..
Thanks Bhumika for saving my money coz I am about to shop online this hair color. But not now..
