Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals seeking vibrant, temporary hair color with a focus on healthy-looking hair. The key benefit is achieving intense, brilliant color that fades beautifully on tone. A caveat is that results can vary based on the starting hair color and condition. Goldwell Elumen Play is a direct dye system that deposits color onto the hair's cuticle for a semi-permanent effect. Key features include HD MAX Technology for fade-on-tone results, Shine & Care Technology for gloss and healthy appearance, and a wide range of colors for creative expression.

FAQs
Is Goldwell Elumen Play a permanent hair color?
No, Goldwell Elumen Play is a semi-permanent direct dye. It colors the hair by depositing pigment onto the cuticle and will fade over time with washing.
Do I need to mix Elumen Play with a developer?
No, Elumen Play is a direct dye and does not require a developer. It can be applied directly to the hair.
How long does the color typically last?
The longevity of the color varies depending on hair porosity, color shade, and washing frequency. Generally, it can last from several washes up to 4-8 weeks, fading on tone.
Can I use Elumen Play to cover grey hair?
Elumen Play is designed for vibrant fashion colors and is best used on pre-lightened or lighter hair bases for maximum impact. It may provide a tint or tone on grey hair but typically does not offer full grey coverage.
What is the purpose of the Clear shade?
The Clear shade is used to dilute other Elumen Play colors to create pastel tones or to achieve a subtle shine boost on its own without adding significant color.
How should I prepare my hair before applying Elumen Play?
For best results, apply Elumen Play to clean, dry hair that is free of styling products. If you desire maximum vibrancy, hair should be pre-lightened.
Can I mix Elumen Play with other hair colors?
It is recommended to use Elumen Play shades together or with the Elumen Play Clear for predictable results. Mixing with other types of hair color may lead to unpredictable outcomes.
Troubleshooting
Color is not vibrant enough.
Ensure hair was lightened to the appropriate level before application. Verify complete saturation of the hair during application. Consider increasing processing time or using heat during processing (up to 20 minutes).
Color faded very quickly.
Use cool water for rinsing and washing. Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos. Avoid clarifying shampoos. Protect hair from harsh environmental factors like chlorine and excessive sun.
Color transferred to skin or clothing.
Wear gloves during application and rinse thoroughly. Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) along the hairline and ears. Protect clothing with a cape. Clean up any drips immediately.
Uneven color application.
Ensure even distribution of color during application. Section hair properly and apply color systematically. Make sure all strands are fully saturated. Check for any build-up on the hair that might prevent even penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of styling products. Wear gloves to protect your hands and skin.
- Mixing: If using a specific shade, no mixing with a developer is required. For custom shades or to create pastels, mix Elumen Play colors in a non-metallic bowl. The Clear shade can be used to dilute any color.
- Application: Apply the color mixture evenly to the desired sections of dry hair. Ensure complete saturation for the most vibrant results.
Compatibility:
- Goldwell Elumen Play is a direct dye and can be applied over previously colored or chemically treated hair. However, results will vary based on the hair's porosity and underlying pigment.
- It is compatible with the Elumen aftercare range, such as Elumen Shampoo and Elumen Conditioner, for optimal results and color maintenance.
Care:
- Rinsing: After the processing time, rinse hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Avoid emulsifying the color during rinsing.
- Washing: Use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo, preferably Elumen Shampoo, and cool water when washing your hair to help preserve color longevity.
- Conditioning: Follow with a conditioner, such as Elumen Conditioner, to maintain hair health and shine.
- Color Protection: Avoid excessive heat styling and prolonged exposure to sun, as these can contribute to faster color fading.
