SHINEFINITY brings the next generation of glossing with 32 translucent modern shades for infinite possibilities and a shine you can feel, with zero lift and zero damage. A stunning and compact salon-friendly palette allows you to create the perfect glaze for every client.
NATURAL
With a major tone of natural, these shades are inspired by nature. Why not try over virgin hair to add a boost of shine with natural tones to create your root melts for sublime results with incredible shine?
COOL
A range of shades from metalized brunettes to crystallized blondes. These are your go-to shades to reduce unwanted warm tones as well as create bespoke cool shades at any depth.
WARM
For subtle beige, sophisticated coppers, or to create that perfect baby blonde. You will love these shades for color correction, adding shine to over-lightened blondes or deepening your result with no off-tones.
BOOSTER
Three shades to maximize the possibilities of your palette. Specifically designed for the translucency of SHINEFINITY without overpowering the target shade. When used alone they create creative options.
SHINEFINITY is a deposit-only color, It does not lighten the natural hair, and therefore the result is heavily dependent on the starting point. The lighter the hair depth, the more tonal deposit will appear.
Seasoned Wella Professionals color users will notice that the numbering system with SHINEFINITY appears different. The “0” in front of the depth indicates translucency. With SHINEFINITY you can expect zero lift and zero damage resulting in shine you can feel.
The new line introduces a state-of the-art clean formula* featuring a pH balanced technology which finally breaks the paradigm that only acidic color can be zero damage. The formulation is designed to regulate and control the pH level throughout the coloring process, resulting in true-to-tone, reliable color results. This means zero lift and zero damage, for healthy-looking hair that shines and has a silky hair feel.
If you’re wondering what pH is and why is it important for your hair, It plays an important role in the strength of your hair but is also integral in hair color technology. The balanced pH technology lies at the core of SHINEFINITY. It operates in a controlled pH range. It starts slightly alkaline, at about. pH 7-8.3, to facilitate proper color formation of the oxidative dyes.
Upon touch with the hair the pH slowly starts dropping, turning neutral/ acidic throughout the processing to preserve the hair’s integrity, never dropping below a pH of 6.5.
By using oxidative dyes in balanced pH environment SHINEFINITY can offer a long-lasting color glaze result with zero lift and zero damage. The color result is also unique and different than that of an alkaline demi-permanent such Color Touch. It gives a translucent veil of color, shine and silky hair feel.
By maintaining this gentle acidic range throughout the process, SHINEFINITY smoothens the cuticles for healthy-looking hair and long-lasting color glaze and a healthy shine.
SHINEFINITY must be mixed with its distinctive activators. It contains a specifically formulated BALANCING pH buffer system that controls the pH throughout the coloring process. Choose your activator based on your desired color result. Select the Brush & Bowl activator for precision and select the Bottle activator for speed. You also have the flexibility to your color glaze on pre-shampooed or dry hair. SHINEFINITY can develop for up to up to 20 min.
When fully developed be sure to add some water and emulsify the color to avoid any skin Staining. Shampoo the hair with SHINEFINITY no post color treatment is needed. Use conditioner if the hair requires.
WHY NO POST COLOR TREATMENT?
POST COLOR treatment is typically used after an alkaline color service to regulate the pH of the hair. This is not needed when using SHINEFINITY as the pH will be acidic at the end of the processing.
With SHINEFINITY you can adapt your results depending on how you work with the product. Expect softer result on pre-shampooed hair and shorter development times, without a compromise to the color result. Use heat when looking to intensify the color.
The three booster tones are ideal to expand the usage of the SHINEFINITY portfolio. Carefully formulated to suit the translucent character of the shades.
Blue Booster
A denim-like blue tone to neutralize brassy tones or create bespoke iced shades.
Violet Booster
Berry violet booster to enhance or personalize any shade in the palette.
Clear Booster
Use to dilute any shade in the portfolio, on its own for a clear glaze, or to pastelize the other booster tones.
