Before applying the color I'm testing it always on a Zewa, you can see pretty much how the color will look like and you can possibly still make corrections! Depending on the starting hair color, the result may be even darker. There are also extra a Elumen CLEAR to dilute the color ... I do not personally but too expensive.
Quantity
I have slightly longer than shoulder-length, dense hair and need so, approximately 100 - 120 ml Elumen mixture.
Application
Unfortunately, you will not find much to use the internet and even if one is appointed, the color no instructions with it. That's why I writable you here me, how I color with Elumen. I am not a professional, so these are only my own suggestions and experiences!
I need the following:
Elumen
Elumen LOCK
Elumen Applicatorkamm + spout
(All available for purchase on Amazon, for example, especially the Applicatorkamm I can recommend! The application is thus much easier and the mixture is then not so much mitgefärbt only.)
old t-shirt
Gloves
Melkfett (or other greasy cream z. B. Vaseline)
Cleaning Shampoo
Cling film
old hairbrush
Before I start with the dyeing I wash my hair with a cleansing shampoo. There should be no styling product residue or the like in the hair. After that the hair must be blow-dried dry. On wet or damp hair color does not last as well! For coloring I always put on an old T-shirt. Said Elumen with wash eh complete again goes out, not so dramatically when some games lands on good clothes ... from other objects and from the skin is the Elumen but not so easily! So beware !!! Before I start with the coloring cream I am always with the Melkfett (or Vaseline). So I made the best experience, because the greasy cream prevents you after all has red spots =) I habs already with normal cream attempted, but the one or Andren spots are there but only after repeated wash and scrub away gone. .. So I cream all a face, neck and ears =) I spray the sink before with a bath cleaner one, just like the tub, in the tub, I let him have always been a bit clear water with a splash-purpose cleaner, then sets the color not now and will be easier to leave.
Then I mixed me the color in the Applicatortülle together and carry them on the Applicatorkamm! Is very easy. Only the left and right side, then from the neck to the back and eventually even throwing the hair forward and the rear hairline with Applicatorkamm apply the color. The remains I do then always with the normal Spitzentülle in the hair ends. With the diluted color that goes of course a lot easier than with the pure color. I color actually always with the extended color except the very first application. The result is in fact just as well, could not tell the difference whether I nachgefärbt pure or diluted. If the color is on it I comb my hair again with an old hairbrush well, so that the color nicely distributed evenly and pack my hair in cling film then a. The result z. B. the hairline will be better because the color remains moist. If you do that, that in places with less hair the paint dries faster and no longer dyed properly. Towel drum and then wait ...
Exposure time:
Elumen Pure 30 min.
Elumen diluted (50:50) 45 min.
Elumen diluted (70:30) 60 min.
Now go to the wash. Rinse only with clean lukewarm or cold water and then use a normal shampoo and scrub thoroughly, so that no red hairline remains. Shampoo wash again and enter into towel-dried hair Elumen LOCK and leave for about 5 minutes and rinse again. I'll then still my normal flushing purely because I do not like the smell of the LOCK and can be combing my hair then more easily. But really is not necessary. Now just blow-dry and normal hair products, using as usual. (Heat protection, hair mousse, gel, whatever) I smoothed my hair after dyeing always ... imagining that the paint will then last longer. If I still discover any ink residue that I could not stop despite some cream, I remove the nail polish remover (something else Alcoholic tuts) ... Although Burns is but jerk twitch again. If you want to take it a little more gently, I recommend you "walk well footbath of Rossmann" so go well away, as I found out by accident ... Also works great if you have forgotten to spray the bath beforehand. Just let a little water in the pan and add a cap to foot bath. Leave to act and then go to the spots with a sponge slightly again.
Enjoy selbermachen =)
