Wella Color Fresh Mask

Which Wella Color Fresh Mask shade should I use?
Go by the tone you want to boost. Pearl Blonde and Lilac Frost are for cool blondes and grey hair. Golden Gloss and Caramel Glaze add warmth to blonde and light brown. Chocolate Touch and Cool Espresso suit brunettes. Copper Glow and Red keep copper and red tones bright. Pink, Peach Blush, Rose Blaze, Mint and Blue are fashion shades that show best on light blonde.

Is the Color Fresh Mask permanent?
No. It's a semi-temporary colour mask that sits on the hair and fades gradually over several washes. That makes it a safe way to top up tone between salon appointments, or to try a pastel without committing. How long it lasts depends on how porous your hair is; lightened hair usually holds the colour longer than untreated hair.

How do I apply a Color Fresh Mask at home?
Shampoo, then towel dry so the hair is damp, not dripping. Wear gloves, apply the mask evenly from roots to ends, and comb it through. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse until the water runs clear. There's no need for conditioner afterwards. Leave it on longer or use it more often for a stronger result. Our at-home toning guide has more detail.

Will a Color Fresh Mask fix brassy hair?
It can help. Pearl Blonde or Lilac Frost on brassy blonde tones it back towards cool, and Cool Espresso can calm warmth in brown hair. It won't lift or remove colour, so if your hair has gone very orange it may need a salon toner. We explain the options in how to fix brassy, orange hair.

What's the difference between the 150ml and 500ml sizes?
Same mask, more of it. The 150ml is the one to start with if you're trying a shade or using it now and then. The 500ml suits longer or thicker hair, or anyone using it every week to keep their tone. It's available in the most popular shades, including Pearl Blonde, Lilac Frost, Golden Gloss, Copper Glow and Chocolate Touch.
