The oxidant free formula deposits colour gently, making it a thoughtful choice for sensitised or previously coloured hair. Applied root to tip with precise sectioning, it ensures even saturation and a refined, polished finish. ## What's Included Your colour service is tailored to your hair length, density and desired shade. - Personal consultation to understand your goals and hair history. - Shade design and swatch testing for the most flattering tone, from natural enhancement to refined fashion hues. - Strand test where helpful, especially on long or previously coloured hair. - Precision full head application for long hair, sectioned for even saturation from roots to ends. - Processing and colour check for the desired depth and luminous shine. - Colour sealing step to improve longevity and reduce fade. - Cleanse, nourishing treatment and professional finish to reveal the result. ### Who It's For Perfect for hair below the shoulders seeking uniform, high shine colour that looks polished rather than showy. It enriches natural tones, refreshes faded lengths and blends greys softly for a refined look. It is not the right choice if you want to lighten your natural hair significantly. Elumen deposits colour only; your colourist can advise if a lightening service is needed first. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2.5 to 3 hours for longer hair, depending on length and density. Very long or thick hair may need additional time so every section is applied meticulously. If it is your first colour with us or you are changing shade, we may recommend a skin test at least 48 hours ahead and a strand test for accuracy. We will confirm any pre visit steps when you book. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Wait 48 hours before your first wash to let the colour settle. Wash with sulphate free, colour safe products, rinse with cool to lukewarm water and always use heat protection. Limit heat styling where possible and protect hair from sun exposure. Use a weekly hydrating mask to maintain softness and shine. To keep your shade fresh, schedule a refresh every 8 to 12 weeks, sooner for delicate or vivid tones. Avoid clarifying or anti dandruff shampoos unless advised, as they can accelerate fade.

Elumen is an oxidant and ammonia free colour that deposits pigment without lifting the natural hair. It delivers intense shine and rich tone while keeping hair feeling smooth. It is ideal for enhancing or refreshing colour on long hair. Will Elumen lighten my natural hair? No. Elumen deposits colour only, so it will not lighten your natural shade. If you want to go lighter, we can recommend a lightening service first and use Elumen for tone and shine. Is Elumen suitable for covering grey hair? Elumen can soften and blend greys for a natural, translucent look. For full, opaque grey coverage, your colourist may suggest a different formula or a combined approach after consultation. How long will the colour last on long hair? Longevity varies with shade, hair condition and care, but results typically last 8 to 12 weeks. Deeper tones usually last longer than delicate pastels, and colour safe products help maintain vibrancy. How should I prepare for the appointment and care afterwards? Before your visit, avoid heavy oils and product build up. After colouring, wait 48 hours before washing, then use sulphate free, colour safe products and heat protection to keep your colour glossy.
