'Koleston' makes Wella a household name

Wella is a company that carries out extensive research. The group’s tremendous growth is primarily attributable to the continual development and maintenance of its outstanding products. Wella researchers discovered the revitalising properties of natural raw materials like Chitosan and fruit waxes, and adapted them to hair care. Their first hair care product with liquid Keratin molecules set new directions in haircare, and in the 50s, their cream-based haircolor 'Koleston' was the first to combine hair coloring with hair care. The original perming device of the 30s was also developed by Wella – and these are just some of the haircosmetic milestones to spring from Wella’s labs.
