Wella Shinefinity Activator Brush & Bowl 2% is an activator for brush-and-bowl application of Shinefinity glaze. It is developed specifically for the Zero Lift Glaze system, which adds tone and shine without lifting the natural base.
The 2% hydrogen peroxide activates the colour, while the built-in pH buffer controls pH throughout the service. Mix equal amounts of activator and the total glaze blend.
What needs does this product address?
- Activating Shinefinity gel cream with the system's designated pH buffer.
- Preparing the mixture for brush-and-bowl application.
- Maintaining the 1:1 ratio, including in mixtures containing 00/00 Crystal Glaze.
How the formula works
The activator's pH buffer is part of Shinefinity's balanced pH technology. Bottle and Brush & Bowl variants suit different application methods. Select the activator by its intended use as well as its hydrogen peroxide concentration.
Cetearyl alcohol is a consistency agent that helps maintain a creamy, evenly spreadable texture.
How to use
- Mix one part activator with one part Shinefinity glaze (1:1).
- Apply the mixture with a brush and bowl; use dry or towel-dried hair according to the chosen glaze service.
- Follow the chosen glaze's development time and rinse thoroughly.
For professional use. Before the service, follow the application and safety instructions on the packaging.

About the product
Both the oxidising ingredient and the specially formulated pH buffer are important in Shinefinity Activator. The buffer controls pH during colouring and works with the glaze gel cream. An ordinary developer at the same concentration is therefore not necessarily a suitable substitute.
The Brush & Bowl variant is designed for precise application with a brush and bowl. This method lets the stylist treat areas separately and control mixture distribution. Follow the application method for the selected glaze service.
Calculate the activator weight based on the full glaze amount, including any 00/00 additive. For example, mix 30 g of total glaze with 30 g of activator. Standard development time without heat is up to 20 minutes; the exact method depends on technique and hair condition.
Who is this product for?
For coloured and clear Shinefinity glaze services using a brush and bowl.
