Wella ColorMotion+ Post-Color Treatment / 16.9 oz.
Color Molecules Retention Post-Color Treatment. Professional post-color treatments that improve color molecule retention help salons extend the vibrancy and depth of freshly applied hair color. By locking in pigment at the molecular level, this treatment reduces fading between appointments and enhances the reflective quality of the finished service. The visible result is longer-lasting, more saturated color that keeps client satisfaction high and reduces the need for frequent touch-ups.
Quick Take
Designed for professional colorists who want to protect their investment in every color service, this post-color treatment bridges the gap between the color application and the client’s home care routine.
- Improves retention of color molecules directly after application
- Helps maintain vibrancy and richness of reds, coppers, and fashion shades
- Seals the cuticle to lock in pigment while adding shine
- Works as a final step after any permanent, demi-permanent, or semi-permanent color service
- Professional formula designed for backbar or take-home retail add-on
- Delivers a noticeable difference in color longevity with consistent use
Why Pros Choose It
Color retention is one of the top concerns clients bring back to the salon chair. When a color service fades too quickly, it reflects poorly on the technician’s skill and the product quality. This post-color treatment gives colorists a reliable tool to add immediate value to every color appointment without extending service time significantly.
By improving how tightly color molecules bind to the hair shaft, this treatment helps reduce the porosity-related fading that happens in the first few washes. It is especially valuable for clients with high-lift blondes, vivid reds, or color-treated hair that is naturally porous or damaged. Adding this step to a color service reinforces the salon’s position as a results-driven destination.
