Wella ColorMotion+ Pre-Color Treatment / 6.2 oz.
Wella Professionals ColorMotion Pre-Color Oil Serum. Prepare hair for color services with a lightweight, protective pre-treatment designed to equalize porosity and improve color uptake. This professional oil serum helps create a uniform canvas, allowing color to deposit more evenly from root to tip for richer, longer-lasting results. Ideal for colorists seeking greater control and predictability, especially on previously treated or porous hair.
Quick Take
Designed specifically for professional colorists, this pre-color serum streamlines the preparation phase while protecting the hair structure. It is an essential step for achieving consistent color results across diverse hair types.
- Equalizes hair porosity for even color deposit and development
- Lightweight oil formula penetrates without weighing hair down
- Protects the hair fiber during the color service process
- Enhances color vibrancy and shine post-service
- Simplifies prepping for multi-textured or compromised hair
- Professional-grade compatibility with Wella color systems
Why Pros Choose It
Colorists consistently face challenges with porous, damaged, or over-processed hair that absorbs color unevenly, leading to patchy results or faded tones. This pre-color oil serum addresses that issue at the foundational level, creating a more balanced hair surface before the color is even applied. By evening out the hair’s ability to accept pigment, the serum reduces the risk of banding or dark ends.
This product fits seamlessly into any backbar workflow, requiring just a few minutes of application time. It is specifically formulated to work with oxidative color services, making it a reliable staple for salons that prioritize color integrity and client satisfaction.

- For clients with extremely porous ends, apply the serum only from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the root area for standard services.
- Use a slightly higher dosage on dry, damaged, or chemically processed hair for better equalization.
- This serum also works well as a pre-lightening prep for balayage or foil highlights to prevent over-porosity.
- Keep the bottle at your color station for quick access; no need to return to the backbar mid-service.
