I have VV hair from Elumen and tried to dye some of it back to black (regular color) but it didn't take over the Elumen. Should I try the Elumen NA2?

Your hair was probably bleached before applying the VV. You probably need a professional service, witch involves repigmentation and then applying the black color. Or applying straight black semipermanent color. Obviously your hair coloring history involved a lot of abuse, meaning a high degree of porosity. It is not the Elumen that doesn't allow your hair to take permanent black color, it is the condition of your hair.

If you are devoted to black, then yes because it's not going to go away any easier than the purple did. What I recommend is that you see a professional stylist when using this type of product. It is not for use at home

If your hair was lightened with bleach before the VV then you will need to use a filler like a demi or semi color and then you can put the NA@2 to cover and neutralize the VV tones.

When I have done the two step process with henna and indigo I have gotten a dark brown/black that never fades, I can't dye over it or beach it out, it is just stuck. I have also done the one step process (where henna and indigo are mixed) to make brown.So is your goal to have brown hair or black? My short answer is yes, you can use indigo to get the red out. I would do all of your hair so the color would be consistent.

Hmmn...the clear is just that, clear. The prepare is for preparing very porous or bleached hair for elumen. You'd probably want an na@8. The color is not opaque so it really depends what you are putting it on. It does not lift either so if you want light brown your hair must be either naturally very light or pre lightened

I saw someone do it on YouTube and she had a afro. I got dark brown hair but not a afro tho but it worked IDK if the texture matters so give it a try girl!

I do not know. My hair has been grey for many years, and this Jhirmack Silver has kept it brilliantly silver grey. FPV from Las Vegas, NV

Buy Elumen NA@2. Apply on clean freshly washed hair. Apply with great care because it stains badly.

I apologize but no we do not. Black is usually our best seller for that brand so we tend to purchase this color common. Is there anything else I can assist you with? Thank You,Desirae Cintron-BeautySeller

I have some salt and pepper hair, can I use Jhirmack Silver Plus shampoo to get all my hair back to be black ???

I specifically ordered the color treated version but it still stripped my color. I waited and tried it again later thinking if I waited a few more days and just regular shampoo first that the color would stay in. No such luck. It still stripped the color. Very disappointing because I saw my hair start to grow.

Hi, you absolutely must use indigo along with this. It's really good, but it's the first step. It will take out all the grey,but it turns hair orange. My hair is darkest brown, almost black. I have a lot of frosty grey. Once I use the Nupur Mehendi, it's bozo the clown orange.Then after the indigo, it's a very pretty dark brown with an auburn highlighted look.

if you want a red color, i would NOT recommend it. I used it over non-bleached, dirty blonde hair, and it came out a faint orange. Manic Panic Vampire Red is a much better color if you want a nice red. Wildfire did not work for me and I tried it two times. I've been using Vampire Red for five years now and I love it.

It darkened my pretty silver to a dull gray. That was mid-January. It's taken numerous washings to get my hair back to its normal color and it still has a bit to go. Hope this was helpful. This product did not work for me.

I may not be a good person to ask. I use True Steel in a mixture with Plush Brown to make the results more "ashy", so I'm not sure what it does by itself. I suspect it would coat the black as well as the gray - but you can wash it out immediately if you don't like the results, so it's probably worth trying.

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!

Even though I do not exactly know, since I dye my hair brilliant pink, but it is such an excellent product that I would go to its website and poke around and see what the manufacturer says. they have charts with colours galore! the product IS spectacular in how it treats the hair. Go to the actual Elumen website, I encourage you!

It does not have any PPD. It is by no means a "natural" product but it is one of the most healthiest coloring treatments of there.The closest you will get to black hair would be Elumen's NA@2. If you apply NA@2 to any hair color whether it is blond or brown, then it will be black.But remember that it is pure ash, so if you dye this on blond hair then it will fade to the base color of blue-green.Use NA@2 on dark brown to black hair, and you will be very happy with the results.
