Color fillers are essential in hair coloring to:

Color fillers play a crucial role in the hair coloring process by helping to equalize porosity. When hair has varying levels of porosity, certain areas may absorb color differently, leading to uneven results. Porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb moisture and product; if some parts of the hair are more porous than others, they will take in color more quickly and intensely.

By using a color filler, the stylist can create a more uniform base, allowing for an even application of color across the entire head. This is particularly important when working with previously colored hair or when transitioning between shades, as it helps to prevent patchiness and ensures that the final result appears cohesive and vibrant. Consequently, achieving consistent and desired color results relies heavily on the equalization of porosity that color fillers provide.
