My stylist uses your product for purple highlights in my hair. I now want lighter-lilac/lavendar color added. How do it?

Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product! What color is your natural hair or the area of hair which your attempting to color? It will make a difference in your results. I would suggest if you attempting to add a lighter-lilac/lavender color, test a mixture of clear Elumen and a drop( a dime size) of VV@all on a color pallet. I would also add taking the color you have created and test it on a white surface(suggested paper to see if it is the desired color you want). I hope this information will help in finding the solution to adding the light lilac/lavender color you want. :) Good Luck! Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product!

Yes, you will want to remove as much of the blue as possible to achieve the best looking purple. Your hair will not need to be white, but you should lift the color as much as possible without damaging your hair.

I'm sorry but we don't have the knowledge to offer advice on use of the hair color. Thank you!

When I spoke to a company rep she said it was better on grey hair. The company does have an 800 number if you want to clarify. I called because I wanted to lighten/brighten my winter natural blonde hair and I didn't see any results.

The trickiest part, I think, is just trying to section your hair so you color just the roots and not the ends. If you can do that, you'll be fine. I've used this kit a handful of times now and the only thing I did once was get a bit darker ends than I wanted, but it was because the hair was short in that section. The colors come our very luminous, which I love.

I personally have tried to change *even ever so slightly* the color of my synthetic wigs, but have not found a fail-proof way of doing so. I tried the rubbing alcohol and shaprie trick, but that only lightly tinted the fibers of the lightest wig i had. This one I tried to make darker, no success. Though I should say I LOOOOOOOVE the deep wine color this piece has in person(: hope I helped

I have the same coloring as you and I ordered the #2 dark brown and the color matched so good, my mom and my hairdresser could NOT see where my real hair and the extensions started. Fair warning, order 2 sets to make sure they blend very well. Our hair is very thick and it needs the added thickness for it to look real and not choppy. I LOVE, LOVE, mine. I wish they had the ombre with the dark brown going to blue or purple or pink. I love that look but don't want to buy another product that I probably won't like. The customer service with this company is amazing! I contacted customer service and asked if you can cut the 3 clip pieces and they told me yes, so I ordered 2 sets and I clipped them down to 1 and 2 clip pieces. It gave me the extra fill in around my face that I needed.

Hi, thanks for the question. It's best if you ask a qualified stylist at a pro salon this question THEN buy products here on Amazon. That's what I did. Color on!

There is a natural indigo dye you can use to make it darker. I found a lot of help on Youtube.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

I have brown hair and it comes out dark purple and noticeable. Get compliments all the time. I use a hint of pink also for highlights. You do not have to bleach your hair. It won't be like a neon purple it will be a dark purple.

I would try dark brown or black..you can blot it after applying and make it lighter. I use blonde but when I put it on it's dark so I blot it with a tissue and it looks natural.

Hi there, No this will not lighten hair; the purple color of the shampoo counteracts the brassiness of most blonde shades of hair to give the hair an ashier appearance.

Generally speaking You don't add color to wet hair. I cannot speak to what your stylist did or why...but this remains a great product! Hope that helps please feel free to reach out with any questions. Abk

As I have told others with questions, I am not a professional colorist. I just was trying to achieve purple hair on bleached hair. I liked the Elumen color as, unlike other products, it covered the bleached roots very well.

probably need a darker color...I have blonde hair (dyed) and I use it to take out brassiness....doesn't get real dark...but the darker shades will

When I used this on my Silver hair, it came out more of a steel blue...I really should have dyed my hair the dark color I wanted first, then put this on. Then I would have had the highlights I wanted instead. It worked, and my hair was very soft...but I should have done what the instructions said first....but over all I was pleased...the steel blue was very pretty. And I believe you can repeat if you want a darker shade, which I haven't done yet....Follow the directions. Sorry I can't help you more. Good product though.
