By: Jaclyn Harwood
In the world of professional haircolor, achieving the perfect blonde requires a deep understanding of product knowledge, formulation, application and technique. Follow along as we uncover the secrets behind correcting and perfecting blonde tones to create bespoke, head-turning results.
One of our favorite in-salon lightening tools to create beautiful blondes is Wella Professionals Blondor Multi Blonde Powder Lightener. A best seller within the Blondor Portfolio and formulated for controlled lightening, for up to seven levels of lift. Blondor Multi Blonde Lightener contains anti-yellow molecules, to reduce orange/yellow undertones during the lightening process and delivers balanced, predictable blonde results.
Did you know Blondor Multi Blonde can be used as a color correction tool, as well? The customizable formula is a top choice when it comes to corrective scenarios to achieve mild to maximum lightening results.
MILD LIGHTENER RECIPE
The best color correction technique to remove old color, banding and color over-deposit is the Wella Professionals Blondor Multi Blonde Powder Lightener, Mild Lightener Recipe. The mild lightener application can be used as a corrective tool to prepare the hair for a new color application and balance color results. A gentle lift, up to 2-3 levels can be achieved.
HOW TO APPLY:
MIX: One part Wella Professionals Blondor Multi Blonde Powder Lightener, plus four parts Wella Professionals Welloxon Perfect Pastel Developer 1.9% (6 volume), or Wella Professionals Color Touch Emulsion 1.9% (6 volume).

MAXIMUM LIGHTENER RECIPE
Looking for something stronger? Wella Professionals Blondor Multi Blonde Powder Lightener can be used in its normal manner, if conditions allow. As the mixing ratio diminishes and the developer rises, maximum speed and lightening will result. #PROTIP: Prior to lightener application, complete a thorough consultation and assess hair texture and porosity to determine the appropriate lightener recipe for the color correction scenario. Remember to consider mixing ratio, developer strength, product saturation, isolation and timing.

BEST PRACTICES
In every color correction scenario, prioritizing the health and integrity of the hair is paramount. By incorporating these core techniques and best practices with your corrective services, elevate the salon experience and maximize hair health and happiness.
CLARIFY + CLEANSE
Cleansing the hair is an essential step when it comes to color correction. Remove product buildup, balance pH levels, improve color adhesion, stabilize porosity and extend color longevity. Over time hair may accumulate unnecessary oils, minerals and product residue to create a barrier that prevents color from penetrating the hair effectively. Schedule time for a pre-treatment prior to any color correction scenario and kickstart your results. Reach for Wella Professionals Elements Renewing Shampoo to reveal the hair’s natural shine and gently remove buildup. Apply, lather, and cleanse all areas of the headform, focusing on the hairline to remove any additional residue from makeup or perspiration. Rinse and follow with the Elements Renewing Mask. Restore moisture, balance porosity and transform the hair from dull and dry, to soft and silky. Blowdry the hair and proceed with the color correction service. Limited on time? No stress. Retail the recommended shampoo and conditioner to your salon guest and instruct them to cleanse and hydrate prior to their arrival.
Next, add a quick treatment to your salon service with Wella Professionals Color Motion+ Pre-Color Treatment. Balance uneven porosity and prepare the hair canvas for beautiful color results. HOW TO APPLY: Spray Wella Professionals Color Motion+ Pre-Color Treatment on dry, unwashed hair, concentrating on porous ends. Dry with a blowdryer and proceed with color application. We love the soft, floral fragrance and quick application time!
BOND PROTECTION
Protein and moisture balance are key components to hair health and long-lasting color. Add a Wella Professionals Wellaplex Stand Alone Treatment to any color correction service to reconstruct, strengthen and balance pH in just 15 minutes.
