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 used the darker brown, and since I keep my hair so short, the gray grows out before the color washes out. Am sure a lighter color would wash out quicker.

I have color treated dark brown hair and it does not hurt the color any. If anything the system helps preserve the color and make it stand out more by removing the brassiness/orange.

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 have grey hair and it works very well for me. Much better than anything I have tried to date.

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'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!

I love this product. I my hair is very dark before the gray showed up. If you have light brown hair it might not work, but med to dark yes. Also I towel dry after i shampoo and while still in the shower I comb my hair back and with he'd tilted back, squirt the product over the hair roots in the fron and middle of the head and brush it thru. Do not rinse. I then I finish showering I wrap a towel over my hair and then style as usual.. Warning: keep an old towel just for this, towel will pick up the grey tones of the product.

I don't have experience with black hair as mine is a redish blonde. I have always treated my entire head with special attention to application around the sides and sideburn area as this is where my gray hair shows more than on top. Once you apply the creme on a daily basis and your hair begins to lose the gray, I only apply a couple of times a week or sometimes less to allow some gray to mix in. I want to avoid the appearance of a "dye job". This product is a great way to keep the gray from taking over without totally eliminating the gray.

When I spoke to a company rep she said it was better on grey hair. The company does have an 800 number if you want to clarify. I called because I wanted to lighten/brighten my winter natural blonde hair and I didn't see any results.

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

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.

Hi, you absolutely must use indigo along with this. It's really good, but it's the first step. It will take out all the grey,but it turns hair orange. My hair is darkest brown, almost black. I have a lot of frosty grey. Once I use the Nupur Mehendi, it's bozo the clown orange.Then after the indigo, it's a very pretty dark brown with an auburn highlighted look.

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

I do not have gray hair, so I can not give you a conclusive answer, but it does not darken my very light brown hair at all, so I would speculate with a fairly high degree of certainty that it will not cover gray hair.
