Wella ColorMotion+

How do I use Wella ColorMotion+ after a colour appointment?
Use the Color Protection Shampoo and the Moisturising Color Reflection Conditioner every wash, focusing the conditioner on mid-lengths and ends. Once a week, use the Structure Mask in place of conditioner and leave it a few minutes before rinsing. Washing in lukewarm water rather than hot also helps your colour hang on longer. Ask your stylist how long to wait before the first wash after your appointment.

How often should I use the ColorMotion+ Structure Mask?
Once a week suits most coloured hair. If you lighten regularly or your ends feel rough, go to twice a week for a few weeks, then back to once. Use it on clean, towel-dried hair through the lengths, comb it through so every strand gets some, and rinse well so it doesn't weigh fine hair down.

Is ColorMotion+ good for blonde hair?
It works on blonde as well as brunette and red, because it's about protecting colour and strengthening the hair rather than toning it. If your blonde turns brassy or yellow, you'll still want a purple or toning product once a week alongside it. Our blonde shampoo guide covers that side.

What's the difference between ColorMotion+ and Ultimate Repair?
ColorMotion+ is built for coloured hair, with WellaPlex technology to help seal colour and strengthen. Ultimate Repair is aimed at damage, whatever caused it. If your hair is coloured and in fair condition, ColorMotion+ is the one. If it's coloured and badly damaged or snapping, Ultimate Repair may suit better for a while, then move to ColorMotion+ once the lengths feel stronger.

How else can I make my hair colour last longer?
Wash less often, use lukewarm water, and protect your hair from heat with a spray before styling. Sun and chlorine also fade colour, so rinse after a swim in the lake or pool. A good shampoo and conditioner does a lot of the work, but those habits matter too. We cover the rest in how to make hair colour last longer.
