Inspired by the Progress Pride Flag, this vibrant mane spans pastel and neon tones for a head-turning look that’s bursting with boundless creativity. Wella Passionista John Sanchez created the look, and explained, “the Progress Pride flag represents me best, as it symbolizes the intersectionality of my identity and the inclusivity I strive for in my community. This Pride Month, I celebrate not just my own identity but also the community that embraces me for who I am. Let's continue to uplift and support each other, and let our colors shine bright.”

With its six colors, an arrow to symbolize the future, and a circle to represent wholeness and completeness, the Progress Pride Flag is brought to life in this multi-tonal masterpiece. Wella Passionista Cassandra Foehr was inspired by the flag because it “represents a united community, it invites all people to my salon as a safe and welcoming space. Love is love and I welcome the positivity!” Want in? Like Cassandra, your nearest Wella colorist can use Koleston Perfect to create your look, with intermixable shades that let them mix up the most flawless colors for your flag.

In a pastel-colored ode to a community that enriches our lives with their authenticity, Wella Passionista Nikola Vuković created this look to represent the Transgender Flag. The goal was to “give all the love to the beautiful trans people who make my life more beautiful!” And this pink and blue blend of Koleston Perfect shades does exactly that. We are obsessed.

Peeking out through the lower layers of a long, blonde mane, this vivid rainbow is begging to be worn in a half up half down style. It’s a stunning display of the colors from the original LGBTQ+ flag; a kaleidoscope of expressive hues that shine bright and bold through a lighter base. Anyone can wear this look. Once your colorist has pre-lightened your hair with bond-strengthening BlondorPlex, you’ll have the perfect canvas for any rainbow blend you want.
