Wella Kolestint - A review

I love colored hair although I have never tried it on my own. May be I am not prepared yet and when it comes to hair, I am finicky. So when I came across a new hair product, I thought of trying it on my mom in laws' hair. She usually loves to touch up her hair and this came as a perfect and pleasant surprise. A neatly packed box containing Wella Kolestint was delivered to my door. I didnt waste any time and soon got down to business.

Wella Kolestint

The USP of the product as the carton claims is long lasting effect. I definitely wanted to check on this on. My shade was Dark Brown. There are around 12 colours under the Dark , Medium & Light grades. My mom in law has hair past her shoulders are pretty good for her age. So I assume that this pack will last for two reps.
The box contains:

    

• A pre color hair product
• Creme Developer
• Creme based oxidation hair dye (colour creme)
• After color intense shine Conditioner
• A pair of gloves

The carton also has a warning stating that it may irritate sensitive skin. So please do test it on a patch of skin before experimenting with hair colour.

• To start with the process , the pre colouration treatment contains Almond extracts and it helps in easy absorption of the colour. This is something new which I have never seen in any other hair colour.

• Apply a liitle vaseline gel around your hair line to avoid staining. Easy instructions are given on the carton for the consumer.

• I used a brush for easy application. It is more comfortable rather than applying directly from the bottle. Also you have better control on the quantity used. 

Here are the results:

Before & After

And voila!!! A drastic and a pleasant change was seen and I made my mom in law happy!! Yippeee...

Some plus points:

• It is very easy to use

• Doesnt drip

• The pre application treatment helps better absorption

• Hair looks more shiny and smooth giving it a rich colour

• Good quantity as compared to other colours 

The negatives:

• I feel the colour wears out quicker than other hair colours

Other than this I think the overall effect given by the product is too good.

The damage:

Rs 519 for 145 ml. (Slightly high priced than other hair products but worth a try.)

I definitely recommend this product as it gives a healthy shiny look to the hair along with a deep colour. Next time I am going to try it on my hair but a different color. :)
