Color Burst from Wella Professionals

The energy of the sunburst inspired this creative haircolor design from Wella Professionals Artists, Brenton Lee and Mark DeBolt. Pops of vivid red, fuchsia and emerald green melt together to create an inspiring celebration of color. The colors and the texture of the hair complement and play off one another beautifully. Using Wella Professionals Color.id, which “beefs up” Koleston Perfect and ILLUMINA formulas, they were able to paint the color on the hair without fear of bleeding or running.

Colorist: Brenton Lee; Mark DeBolt
