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!

I don't think it causes any problems with light colored hair. I don't know about highlights because I have never had any. I use The Big 3 Shampoo from Lipogaine. I derma roll every Saturday night and use Lipogaine mixed with Minoxidil and Pumpkin Seed Oil. On a daily bases I mix Minoxidil with Lipogaine (to extend Lipogaine it's expensive) and put that on my hair with a little Pumpkin Seed Oil. Sounds crazy I know too much product, really all you need is a little of each.

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 don't know what these other people are talking about but I dyed my extensions when I got them because my hair is dyed deep auburn. Follow the same rule as dying your own hair. You can dye them darker but I wouldn't recommend trying to lighten as it damages hair. Also use a deep conditioner.

I don't have highlights, but the John Frieda darkens my grays enough that they look like highlights. Just put it on your gray hair. I just put it where I need it - on the gray. I don't put it all over my head.

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

Was wondering how you pick the developer? My mom had her hair colored at a salon here, and wants to do her own at home. So I got the color but I dont know what kind of developer to buy. She is all grey

You brush hair then get a little chunk and use that hook and I put the bead on the hook. Like just slide the bead on and then hook your hair and pull through and put your colored piece in I just push it in there and then use the pliers and squeeze super hard just to make sure it's in! :)

I used this color at a salon, and to getthe deep purple I wanted They needed to lift some of my natural color first. (I have dark brown hair) Now it looks amazing, but its a dark purple.

I think it would do the trick, and if anything, you can do a gradient with another color over it. The tips tend to take really well though, so if anything I'd say do it in stages, upper part of the ombre first leave in for less time just to lighten slightly, then the tips in the 2nd process for the full processing time.

If thats your natural color it should still be a nice shade of purple. If you were to bleach it using the lowest developer, the color would stand out more. I did it on red/magenta hair and a nice purple blue came out.

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

Hmm you bleach your hair, do a strand test first , test the purple, you want the purple come through bleach completely, or highlights , I hope this helps

It'll be purple, but not vivid. Even a lightener would help, if you don't want to go for bleaching. Highlights work, too.

The kit comes with a spare mixing bottle that has a colour mixing guide on it for purple, green, orange, etc. You can water the colours down too to get a lighter shade ... hope this helps!

I could not find a way to customize hair color. Luckily my husband paints models as a hobby and was able to paint over the hair color to match ours.

try using the conditioner that came with the package and leave it in for a long time. the highlights seem to fade fast, so in a few daysit will look fine
