FAQs

How long does Goldwell Elumen Play Semi-Permanent Hair Colour last?

The color typically lasts up to 15 washes, depending on hair type, porosity, and aftercare routine.

Can I mix different Goldwell Elumen Play shades?

Yes, you can mix shades to create custom colors. It is recommended to strand test your custom mixture before applying to your entire head.

Do I need to use a developer with this product?

No, Goldwell Elumen Play is a direct dye and does not require a developer. It is ready to use straight from the tube.

Will this hair color damage my hair?

Goldwell Elumen Play is a semi-permanent color and does not contain ammonia or peroxide, making it less damaging than permanent dyes. It also contains care ingredients that can improve hair's condition.

Can I use this on grey hair?

While it can be used on grey hair, results will be more vibrant on lighter or pre-lightened hair. For full coverage on resistant grey hair, professional consultation is advised.

How do I remove the color if I don't like it?

As it is semi-permanent, the color will fade over time. For faster removal, color removers can be used, or you can consult a professional stylist.

Is this product suitable for all genders?

Yes, Goldwell Elumen Play is a unisex product suitable for anyone looking to experiment with vibrant hair colors.

Troubleshooting

Color is not as vibrant as expected.

Ensure hair was adequately lightened if it was dark. Check that the color was applied evenly and allowed to process for the full recommended time. Strand test on a small section first to predict results.

Color is fading too quickly.

Use only cool water when washing hair. Switch to sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure.

Uneven color application or patchiness.

Ensure hair was thoroughly saturated during application. Brush out any tangles before applying. Consider having someone assist with application for even coverage, especially in the back.

Color transferred to clothing or skin.

Wear protective clothing and apply a barrier cream along the hairline and ears. Rinse thoroughly after processing. If staining occurs on skin, try a gentle cleanser or makeup remover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: For best results, hair should be clean and dry. For lighter or more vibrant results on darker hair, pre-lightening with a bleach product may be necessary.

Application: Wear gloves during application to avoid staining hands. Apply the color evenly to the desired sections of hair using a brush or applicator bottle. Ensure all strands are saturated.

Processing Time: Leave the color on for the recommended time, typically 20-30 minutes, or as indicated by strand testing. For more intense results, a longer processing time may be beneficial, but always follow product guidelines.

Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Avoid using shampoo immediately after rinsing; conditioner is recommended.

Compatibility: Goldwell Elumen Play is a semi-permanent color and is generally compatible with most hair types. However, it is not recommended for use on chemically damaged hair or immediately after perming or relaxing treatments without consulting a professional.

Care: To maintain color vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid washing hair with hot water, as this can accelerate color fading. Limit shampooing frequency when possible.
