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.

It will cover. Make sure you are using the prepare. It helps get those stubborn greys!

I've used the dark brown and it isn't quite dark enough for covering gray hair. I don't know for sure but I would give it a try. I've also heard that you can add day old coffee, rather than water to the mix - to bring out the brown. Somewhere I also read that you can add black castor oil, which you can order through Amazon. Just add a little less water. I haven't yet tried these but I plan to experiment more in the future!

The product is suitable for people with very little grey. I unsuccessfully attempted to color my greys with Chromatics, but it turned out to be more of a toner on my already colored hair. It did not color the grey roots. I do not use this product anymore.

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!

Reading the pamphlet it indicates it would not work well on darker skin. It works ok for me, I'm extremely fair skinned with medium brown hair.

Hi Lisa,My hair is about shoulder length. I only do my whole head once, and then I just do my roots, like you would with regular color. This is the best product I have ever used; no toxic chemicals, and my hairs stays healthy and shiny with great body. I use the chocolate, gives a nice rich brown with red highlights where I have grey. Hope this helps.

I tried the brown henna package. My hair is dark, and my roots are gray. For me, it made my roots a reddish/gold tint, which I don't like. I liked the conditioning aspect of it. Hope this helps

No, its not suitable for dark hair colors. It only works for butter blonde hair

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 tons of grey and it covers as well as if it was blonde. Just remember to shampoo as little as possible, and use cold wart to wet and rinse your hair.

I think so, however I bought 2 of these for my niece, her hair was to the middle of your back, and her hair is very dark, dark brown/black. She bleached her hair twice to get her hair to the lightest shade.

I would say get the dark brown as my hairdresser says that you want your roots darker than the rest of your hair.

Hi Lucysmom....This is one reason why I like this hair color. It does a great job of covering my gray hair. Hope it works just as well for you!

Yes, black or nearly black hair blends well with the black hair on the extension. I have darkest brown, nearly black hair and my hair blended well with the extension.
