Wella Koleston Perfect ME+ 12/03 Permanent Hair Colour, 60 ml

Wella Koleston Perfect Special Blondes combines lightening natural hair with creating a blonde tone in one colour service. This high-lift shade range is intended for blonde results on a suitable starting base.

Mix with Welloxon Perfect at a 1:2 ratio. Following the manufacturer's instructions, 9% developer provides up to three levels of lift and 12% up to four or five; standard development without heat is 50–60 minutes.

What needs does this product address?

• Lightening and toning the natural hair base in one service.
• Touching up blonde regrowth with the Special Blondes method.
• Adjusting lift and tone with the appropriate 9% or 12% formula.

How the formula works

Special Blondes is a high-lift oxidative colour. Add two parts Welloxon Perfect 9% or 12% to one part colour; the main range's 1:1 ratio is not intended for this service.

How to use

• Mix one part colour with two parts suitable Welloxon Perfect 9% or 12% developer (1:2).
• Apply according to the selected Special Blondes technique. Standard root-colouring development time without added heat is 50–60 minutes.
• After development, emulsify with a little warm water, rinse thoroughly and follow with shampoo and after-colour care suitable for coloured hair.

For professional use. Before the service, follow the application and safety instructions on the packaging.

About the product

Choose Special Blondes to lighten the natural hair base while adding a blonde tone. This differs from toning already bleached hair: its purpose is to change the natural colour's lightness, rather than simply depositing pigment onto a pre-lightened base.

The starting shade and developer choice determine the potential lift. Welloxon Perfect 9% offers up to three levels of lift, while 12% developer offers up to four or five. Assess the result alongside hair condition and colour history.

For Special Blondes root colouring, add two parts developer to one part colour and allow 50–60 minutes without added heat. Assess previously coloured hair separately to avoid unnecessary repeated lightening. After the service, emulsify, rinse and use an after-treatment for coloured hair.

Who is this product for?

For uncoloured hair and regrowth where the starting tone suits intensive lightening with permanent blonde colour. Plan correction of previously coloured hair separately.
