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!

Thank you for this post! This is the exact question I had (about ethnic hair). I color my hair trying to hide the (premature) grays and I would like to not have to relax my hair so much.

This works on dark colored hair well. You won't get an opaque cover, but you can get a decent effect if you layer lightly in multiply layers

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

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.

My hair is med-dark brown and I use the darker brown. The spray will blend in with your hair.. Be careful not to spray too heavy in one location of hair.

Yes I have dark brown hair and it works. They only thing is you need to go over your hair a few times so it uses up more chalk

I color my hair a dark brown so when it just starts to grow out it will cover it somewhat and usually give me a couple more weeks till I have to color again. But if your looking for it just to cover gray I don't think you would be happy.

You can mix henna powder with indigo to get shades of auburn/black. I reccomend searching 'henna for hair' and reading the free Ebook about it. There is a lot of good information about using henna and how to mix it with different plants to get different colors. My experience with using only henna is that you can still tell the difference if your hair is multiple colors. My tips are more blonde from previous coloring and they are much more vibrant orange than the rest of my hair. So this alone will probably not blend in your grey hairs.

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.

I find that with one application it turns out fine. But layering it on tends to turn out more orange. It also may depend on your skin tone if you're fairer the dark one may turn out more orange, I would go for the medium color if that's the case.

I have dark hair.. you just need to not over do it, and spray from a distance.

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.

It'll definently show up on the grey! But if your other hair is dark, and you want the color to show up, then yes bleach first

I really like the dark brown, I have never tried the soft black. As a matter of fact it is on my hair right now. I do have gray hair and it does a nice job covering. It last as long as it takes for your hair to grow, usually 5 or 6 weeks.. It will stay longer, but I have to do it that often because of my roots. I think you should try it.. It is also a good conditioner.

Yes, it might cover grey roots temporarily but it will be a big waste of product.

Honestly it depends on how dark your hair is naturally. I did, because my hair was dark and dyed but if you have lighter hair then you should be good.
