FAQs
Is Goldwell Elumen Play a permanent hair color?
No, Goldwell Elumen Play is a semi-permanent hair color. It deposits color onto the cuticle and will gradually fade over time with washing.
Do I need a developer with Elumen Play?
No, Elumen Play is a direct dye system and does not require a developer. It can be applied directly to the hair.
How long does the color typically last?
The longevity varies based on hair type, porosity, and aftercare routine. Typically, it can last for 15-20 washes when using Elumen specific products and proper care.
Can I mix Elumen Play shades?
Yes, all Goldwell Elumen Play shades can be mixed together to create unique custom colors.
What is the 'Glow Effect'?
The 'Glow Effect' refers to the enhanced shine and healthy appearance of the hair achieved by the Shine & Care Technology in Elumen Play.
How should I prepare my hair before applying Elumen Play?
Your hair should be clean, dry, and free from any styling products for optimal color uptake.
What should I do if color gets on my skin?
Wipe off immediately with a damp cloth or cotton pad. If staining occurs, use a barrier cream like petroleum jelly along the hairline before application.
Troubleshooting
Color not intense enough
Ensure hair was properly lightened before application. Apply generously for full saturation and consider using heat for processing. Ensure you are using Elumen specific aftercare.
Uneven color application
Thoroughly saturate all strands of hair during application. Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the color evenly. Ensure hair is completely dry before starting.
Color fading too quickly
Rinse with cool water only, avoid emulsifying during the first rinse, and use Elumen shampoo and conditioner. Reduce the frequency of hair washing and avoid using hot water.
Color staining skin or clothing
Wear gloves and protective clothing during application. Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) along the hairline. Clean up any drips immediately.
Difficulty removing color
Permanent removal may require professional color removal services. Gentle fading can be achieved over time with frequent washing using clarifying shampoos, but this may affect hair health.
