Liquid color coupler molecules combine with color

activator to form a gel.

You can put it exactly where you want and

it will stay there, saturating every strand of hair

as you apply.

2. PENETRATES:

The gel penetrates the hair shaft to deliver vibrant

color molecules.

3. FUSES:

The color fuses deep within the cortex

of the hair to make it exceptionally

fade resistant.

4. THE RESULT:

Beautiful, vibrant, long-lasting haircolor and excellent

gray coverage.

5 Tonal Families

Wella Color Charm organizes its shade range in a logical way utilizing a

color-coded tonal family system. This system helps you to quickly identify

each family and provides a logical position on the Wella Color Charm

swatch chart to allow for easy shade selection.

Thevetonalfamiliesare:

REDGOLDNATURAL ASH WARM

What is a level?

A level describes how light or dark a color is regardless of its tonal character.

This is represented by a numeric system based on international standards.

What is a tone?

A tone is the overall character of the color result that you will see.

This is represented by the one or two letters that follow the level number.

TONE

LEVEL

Therstnumberindicatesthe

level of the color based on how

light or dark the expected result

will be.

The letter following the number

represents the tonal qualities of

the shade. In this case the letter

‘N’ indicates a Natural tone.

Wella Color Charm Level and Tone

Shade Numbering System

Wella Color Charm uses an international Level and Tone system

for identifying each shade. This system enables logical and consistent

shadeselectionsothatyoucanformulateyourcolorswithtotalcondence

for perfect results every time. It also keeps the older Wella Color Charm

numberwhereappropriate,soyoucaneasilyndyourfavoriteshade.

Selecting Your Shade

When lightening hair from a natural level 5 to a level 7, you expose

the red and gold natural underlying contributing pigment which may

resultinyournalhaircolorbeingtoowarm.Thiscanbecontrolled

by using the right tone, as indicated by the Color Circle, to counteract

this natural underlying pigment.

Exposed Contributing Pigment Guide

All natural haircolor is made up of a number of natural color pigments. These pigments are either warm or cool

in tone and it is the combination of these that produces the natural haircolor that we see. As we lighten the hair

these pigments are exposed, often producing warm results.

Haircolor results are a combination of two factors: the shade used and the

underlying contributing pigment of the natural haircolor. There are two

concepts that can help us better understand these factors:

1) Exposed Contributing Pigment Guide and 2) Color Circle.

Color Circle

The Color Circle is a tool that explains the fundamental rules of color. These are equally

applicable whether you are a painter, a photographer, a designer or a professional colorist.

Anawarenessofthefundamentalrulesofcolorwillallowyoutocondentlyselect

the right shade for your client every time.

Neutralizing Unwanted Tones

Colors that are opposite each other on the color circle neutralize each other and can be

helpful in reducing unwanted warmth or eliminating too much ash.

Secondary Colors

They are achieved by mixing the

primary colors (green, orange, violet).

Application Instructions

Strand Test

Performing a strand test is always recommended, especially if hair is porous or has

previously been subjected to lighteners, permanent waves, chemical hair relaxers or haircolor.

Mix a small amount of desired color according to directions and apply to selected strands

of hair in a discreet area. After 30 minutes, rinse strand and check color result and hair condition.

Same Depth or Darker: First Time Color Application

WHEN FINAL RESULT WILL BE THE SAME DEPTH OR DARKER THAN THE NATURAL HAIRCOLOR:

1. Take ¼-inch partings and apply color from scalp to ends.

2. When application is complete, using a wide-tooth comb, gently comb the product through

the hair to ensure even distribution.

3. Develop 30 minutes or up to 45 minutes if additional depth or gray coverage is needed.

Lightening: First Time Color Application

WHEN FINAL RESULT WILL BE LIGHTER THAN THE NATURAL HAIRCOLOR:

1. Take ¼-inch partings and apply color to lengths and ends, starting 1-inch away from the scalp.

2. Develop for 15 minutes.

3. Mix fresh color and apply to untreated hair at the scalp area.

4. Develop for an additional 15-30 minutes or until color is even.

Re-growth Application

1. Take ¼-inch partings and apply color to re-growth area.

2. Develop 30 minutes or up to 45 minutes if additional

depth or gray coverage is needed.

3. Use color-balancing procedure to refresh lengths

and ends of the hair if needed.

Stylist tip: Fine sections should be taken in order

to achieve thorough and even saturation.

Notes

Wella Color Charm Additives

TIP: When working with darker shade

selections, use more Cooling Violet Additive

to achieve more noticeable results. Lighter

shade selections will normally require less Cooling

Violet Additive to achieve your

desired result.

Warming Gold

Additive

The Warming Gold Additive can be added to any

existing Wella Color Charm shade to add more warmth

toyournalresult.Thiswillprovidegreaterdenition

and vibrancy to red, gold and rich brown shades.

To use the Warming Gold Additive add between

2-4 capfuls of Warming Gold Additive to a full mixture

of Wella Color Charm. The more Warming Gold

Additive you use, the more pronounced the effect will

beonyournalresult.

Blonding Plus

When working on a natural level 6 or lighter, you can

add the Blonding Plus Additive to your formula to

increase the lifting action. This can be added to any

Wella Color Charm shade on a level 9 or above.

To use the Blonding Plus Additive, mix 1 part Color

Charm color, 1 part Blonding Plus additive and 4

parts 20 volume Color Charm developer. Apply to the

hair as usual and develop up to 45 minutes. Check

frequently for desired result.

Blonding Plus should never be used alone and should

not be used with 40 volume developer.

It is only to be used with Color Charm shades

Level 9 or lighter.

The use of Wella Color Charm Additives gives you even

greatercontrolofyournalcolorresultbyopeningupalmost

limitless possibilities.

Cooling Violet

Additive

The Cooling Violet Additive can be added to any

existing Wella Color Charm shade to reduce unwanted

warm tones. This is ideal if your client’s hair has

a high degree of natural warm tone (underlying

pigment), or if you want to create a more matte type

of result.

To use the Cooling Additive, add between 2-4 capfuls

of Cooling Violet Additive to a full mixture of Wella

Color Charm. The more Cooling Violet Additive you

use, the more pronounced the effect will be on your

nalresult.

High Lift Blonding

Wella Color Charm high lift blondes will give you beautiful clear blonde

results with a variety of tones. They are best suited

on clients with a natural level 6 or above.

To use the High Lift Blonde shades mix:

1 part Wella Color Charm liquid color with

2 parts Wella Color Charm clear developer.

Apply to the hair using either an applicator

bottle or bowl and brush. Develop for

different toner families (Ash, Beige and Silver). These can be used

to create beautiful soft blondes with just the right tonal character to

suit your client.

Tousethesetoningshadesyoumustrst

prelighten the hair to approximately half a shade

lighter than your desired result. Once the desired

level of lift is achieved, remove the lightener by

shampooing thoroughly.

Mix 1 part Wella Color Charm toner with 2 parts

20 volume developer, apply to towel dried hair and

Optimum Gray Hair Coverage

Top tips for achieving optimum coverage on gray hair:

1. Select a shade on a level 8 or darker for best coverage. Lighter shades will create

a more translucent effect.

2. Shades from the Natural or Gold family will produce a more natural result with optimum coverage.

3. Always mix with 20 volume Wella Color Charm developer.

4. Apply product generously, starting at the area of the head that has the highest percentage

of white or is most resistant.

5. Process for 30 minutes, check and extend to 45 minutes if needed.

6. For better coverage on hair that is over 50% white, mix with equal parts of a Wella Color Charm

Natural or Gold shade at the same level.
