FAQs
How long does Goldwell Elumen Play Semi-Permanent Hair Color last?
The longevity of the color varies depending on hair type, porosity, aftercare routine, and frequency of washing. Typically, it can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, with gradual fading.
Do I need a developer with Elumen Play?
No, Goldwell Elumen Play is a direct dye system and does not require a developer for application. It is applied directly to the hair.
Can I mix Elumen Play colors together?
Yes, Elumen Play colors are designed to be mixable. You can combine different shades to create unique custom colors and achieve a personalized look.
How do I best maintain the color?
To maintain the color, use the Elumen Wash Shampoo and Elumen Conditioner. Wash your hair with cool water, reduce the frequency of washing, and avoid harsh styling products or heat treatments that can strip color.
Will this color cover gray hair?
Goldwell Elumen Play is a semi-permanent color and is not designed for extensive gray coverage. It may impart a subtle tint or sheen to gray hair, but it will not provide opaque coverage like permanent dyes.
Can I use heat during processing?
Yes, you can use heat during processing. Applying gentle heat for 20 minutes can reduce the processing time compared to 30 minutes without heat.
What should I do if I get color on my skin?
Gently wipe the excess color off your skin immediately with a damp cloth or cotton pad. If staining occurs, try a paste of baking soda and water or a dedicated color remover, being careful around the hairline.
Troubleshooting
Color is not as vibrant as expected.
Ensure hair was properly lightened or is in a suitable base shade for the chosen color. Make sure the color was applied evenly and saturated the hair completely. Re-apply if necessary, ensuring correct processing time.
Uneven color results or patchiness.
Check for even saturation during application. Ensure hair was thoroughly detangled before and during application. Porosity differences in hair can affect evenness; ensure consistent application across all areas.
Color faded very quickly.
Verify that Elumen Wash Shampoo and Elumen Conditioner were used. Avoid washing hair with hot water. Reduce the frequency of hair washing. Ensure the initial rinse after application was thorough without emulsifying.
Color transferred to clothing or skin.
Wear gloves during application and use protective coverings for clothing and surfaces. For skin staining, gently use a color remover or a paste of baking soda and water. For clothing, treat stains immediately according to fabric care instructions.
