I have dark brown, almost black hair. I only want to cover the grey at my roots. Would this work?

No - elumen isnt meant to cover gray. You'd have to cover your roots first with a permanent color then apply elumen all over. Just know that elumen is best on clean, dry hair. So do your roots then apply elumen possibly following day/night. I've used elumen for almost ten years now. If you follow the entire process with lock and wash, it's a fantastic line. It's a direct dye. Good luck!

Yes but not a 100% coverage. It will blend but not be perfectly covered. And careful with the ends, do not apply the color on the ends from the beginning. It will turn really dark. Just 2-3 min at the end of the processing time ,right before shampooing.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

It did not cover your roots because it is not a good product for covering roots. This is basically what I said in my review of the product. It is not good for stubborn gray. You need to find something else. A tip - if you have tough grays to cover, you can leave the die on them for up to 45 minutes. The longer you leave the die on, the better. Just try not to exceed 45 minutes.

Yes, I have dark hair and it worked fine on mine. All I did was follow the instructions and got great results. On my dark hair some of the colors started to fade after 3 - 4 hours.

I have SOME grays and this product works to cover them in between hair coloring. I do not have enough gray/white to definitely say this should work but for the price it seems it should be worth giving it a try. I'd agree with a previous poster who suggests the darker color for all gray. Hope this helps.

If you are dying your hair black just to do it black, use a different product. If you have gray hair you are trying to cover use a brown to light brown. Black is not natural to cover gray hair. It will not look natural and to stark. The use of a brown color because of the gray you will have the look of natural highlights when you cover the gray. I personally would not use a different dye product with this developer.

Yah I didn't have a problem with that. I have natural blonde hair and dye it dark brown and did root touch ups all the time with using this. It's nice it feels like a leave in conditioner when applying it.

Yes! As long as your hair is dark before you use the henna it will work perfectly. When I did mine my roots were dark and the rest of my hair a light light red. When I used the henna my the dark sections of my hair turned out like they should have, burgundy but the light parts did turn orange. I kept it this way because it's like an unintentional ombr. Make sure your hair is all one color and dark and you should be fine. Also, you might want to get two packs. It took me two colorings to really get it to where I wanted.

Hello, No you may use this with brown hair. If you are looking for grey coverage then you will not be disappointed. I mix this with Nupur, Amla, and shikakai powder for a great condition for your hair. The amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair. To cover your grey at the same time mix 12 hours before with very warm water and a tablespoon of cider vinegar, just enough to make it thick like yogurt, this will release the dye an you will have wonderful results. Rinse your hair with cider vinegar before you apply this thick mixture. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave on as long as you like. You will have a medium brown color once you are done. This will darken a touch in 2 to 4 days. I add in a couple tablespoons of Cinnamon 10 minutes before I put this in my hair. I hope this helps. =O)

Yes, you can but you may not want to. If you apply to a small area, be sure to use a comb or brush to blend in to the surrounding area or else it would look like a patch of dark surrounded by lighter color hair. I assume that you are trying to cover the roots that are much lighter. If you want to go that route, Clairol produce a hair dye called (if I remember correctly) Root Rescue for ladies which comes with a brush applicator. My wife uses it and it seems to work ok. Still, getting the right shade to blend is tricky and requires a bit of trial and error. Good luck.

If you want to cover grey, I would suggest doing a darker color (try to match your original color), and mix in the copper. I use a whole bottle of golden brown and about 1/3 to half a bottle of copper.

I have am a natural blonde with dirty one roots. I used the product and when I went to my hair dresser she asked why my hair is orange. I would not use it on dark hair at all unless you want to have a pumpkin hue.

Tim,I just sent you an answer that I thought you might need, but I may have misunderstood the quesstion. If you want to cover some gray hair and want to match your hair color, then go the the store that handles Roux product and look at their samples to see if they might match your hair color. If not then go to your hair stylist and ask what color that you need. Betty
