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 personally would rebleach my roots/ new growth....as for the rest of the hair (guessing your at the washed out blue stage) I would not rebleach and apply the purple over the blue those sections might be darker purple but should still look purple. Good luck!

I'm not sure really. I tried to research the difference but nothing. I have seen on YouTube that people mixed this with a conditioner to get a pastel look. I recently dyed my hair black and mistakenly got it on my purple but my purple is back now. I do know that you cannot get rid of this color easily. I'm sorry I couldn't be more of a help

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

Usually you'd have to mix the color with a white conditioner but for some reason the sparks purple is really rich so if you're trying to achieve a pastel color make sure the hair that you're dying is as blonde as possible. The hair you're about to dye should be close to a #613. You'd take literally a dot of the purple dye and mix it with the white conditioner until you get the desired color. Each color requires a different amount of conditioner. You'll just have to keep adding conditioner until you reach a color of your liking.

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.

If it's truly human hair then you can, color it. You will first have to diffuse the color first( lightener). Then use the blue on it. Otherwise the blue won't show.

I'm not sure. I used the delicious dark brown. I had cooper blond highlights prior to using now my hair has reddish brown highlights in the summer.

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

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 can mix it with their Crystal clear and it will get it to be lighter. If you visit their web site they have mixes you can do to get certain colors.

This is just for highlights but depending on your natural hair color you can blend the highlights with the gray. I use this as part of a double process. I use a PERMANENT (L'Oreal) color that best matches my natural hair and then use this over it to achieve the look of darker undertones and highlights. Always turns out great!

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 have blonde hair, bleached it first and it was barely purple. I would not suggest trying it without bleaching (or using this product at all)

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

I bought 2 just to be safe. Mine is thick, but not terribly long. I ended up mixing the color with conditioner. You don't need to mix with a developer (or toner as someone else said... not sure why you'd mix it with a toner), because it's more of a stain than a dye. It is super dark if you put the color straight on your hair, so I'd suggest mixing with conditioner to lighten it up and get the bright purple.

Actually STRAND TEST first. I did and it turned my hair strand lilac purple....yep. Pale purple. And you can not return this product. So ...order 1...test and see if it works.
