EVESEL Gold High-Capacity Developer Shades: Control Line and High-Lift Guide
This selection features EVESEL Gold shades that include a high-capacity developer bottle - specifically the high-lift naturals, the intense goldens, and the full Control Line range including the BP Blue-Purple. These shades share a need for a more substantial oxidiser supply, whether for the heavy lift chemistry of 12G or the precise deposit chemistry of the toning shades. This guide covers each shade in this collection and explains when and how to use them.
What Makes These Shades High-Developer Shades?
The shades in this collection fall into two categories that both benefit from a larger developer bottle:
- High-lift shades (12G Highlighter, 10G, 9N): These formulas work at higher developer volumes and require enough developer to sustain an extended lift reaction. The larger bottle ensures you have the volume needed for a complete, even lift without running short mid-application.
- Control Line shades (GP Wine, AG Grey, TS Silver, BP Blue-Purple): These toning shades use a higher-volume developer than the standard colour range to activate their direct deposit chemistry. The larger bottle serves the full-head toning application without shortage.
The Control Line: Four Targeted Shades
The EVESEL Control Line addresses specific colour goals that the standard Gold shades do not cover:
- GP Wine: A deep wine-burgundy - full, rich coverage with grey-hiding power. The deep red-purple tone is especially vivid on lighter or grey hair. Works as both a fashion colour and a grey coverage shade.
- AG Grey: An ash-grey toner for neutralising warm (brassy or yellow) tones on lightened or grey hair. Does not significantly lighten - it deposits cool ash to shift the tone without altering depth much.
- TS Silver: A silver-white toner for hair bleached to a very pale base. Removes residual yellow from bleached hair and deposits a bright, cool silver finish.
- BP Blue-Purple: A bold, fashion blue-purple tone designed for already lightened hair. The result reads as a vivid blue-purple, cooler and bluer than the standard V (Violet) shades in the Gold line. Best on bleached hair at level 9-10; on lighter blonde bases it reads as a vivid electric blue-purple.
BP Blue-Purple: The Fashion Colour in the Control Line
BP Blue-Purple is distinct from the 5V and 6V Violet shades in the standard Gold line. Where 5V and 6V deposit a subtle violet-tinted blonde that reads as cool and muted, BP Blue-Purple is a vivid, direct-deposit fashion shade - designed to produce a clear blue-purple result visible from several feet away.
For best results with BP Blue-Purple:
- Start with hair lightened to at least level 9 (very pale yellow). On a level 7-8 golden yellow base, the result will be darker and more olive-toned.
- Apply for 20-30 minutes - direct dyes develop faster than oxidative dyes and can over-saturate with too long a development time.
- Expect to refresh every three to four weeks. Blue and purple direct dyes fade faster than oxidative permanent shades.
- Use a colour-depositing purple or blue shampoo between applications to maintain vibrancy.
Why 9N Ultra Light Tan Uses a High-Capacity Developer
9N Ultra Light Tan is in the standard Gold line, but it uses a larger developer bottle because its target depth (level 9, ultra-light blonde) requires three or more levels of lift from a typical medium-brown base. More lift means more developer chemistry at work, and more developer volume is needed to sustain the reaction through the hair shaft from root to end. Unlike the 12G Highlighter - which maximises lift above all else - 9N deposits a warm, neutral blonde tone alongside the lift, giving a sun-lightened, natural result rather than a near-platinum base.
High-Lift Blondes: 10G and 12G Compared
Both 10G and 12G are high-lift shades, but they differ in intent:
- 10G Bright and Strong Golden Blonde: High lift with strong golden colour deposit. The result is a vivid, saturated warm golden blonde - dramatic but clearly coloured, not natural-looking.
- 12G Highlighter: Maximum lift with minimal colour deposit. The result is the lightest possible blonde the formula can achieve - closer to a near-platinum or highlighted effect. Less colour tone, more raw lift.
Choose 10G for a fashion golden blonde statement; choose 12G when you want to lighten as much as possible and plan to add a toner (like TS Silver or AG Grey) afterward for a specific finish.
Control Line GP Wine: Grey Coverage in Burgundy
GP Wine is the only Control Line shade designed for full grey coverage in a deeply pigmented, fashion-forward tone. The wine-burgundy result is rich and saturated on natural pigmented hair and appears even more vivid on grey or white strands, where there is no competing melanin to dilute the dye deposit. This makes GP Wine a particularly popular choice for people with significant grey coverage who want a bold, non-natural colour rather than matching their original shade.
Development time for GP Wine is the standard 30-45 minutes, with 45 minutes recommended for maximum grey coverage. The result fades to a more muted maroon over three to four weeks, then can be retouched.
Control Line AG Grey: Ash Toner Without Full Bleach
AG Grey is not a grey-coverage shade - it is a grey-toning shade. The distinction matters: grey coverage (5N, GP Wine) adds pigment to cover grey; AG Grey adds cool ash pigment to toned-down existing warm tones. Use AG Grey when:
- You have lightened hair that is brassy or yellow-gold and want to neutralise the warmth
- You have natural salt-and-pepper hair and want to push it toward a cooler, more deliberate grey shade rather than covering the grey
- You are transitioning to grey and want to blend the grey-white sections with the pigmented sections by toning the whole head toward a unified ash tone
AG Grey does not lighten - it deposits over whatever base is present, which can appear darker or darker-ash if the hair is already medium brown.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is EVESEL Control Line BP Blue-Purple and how is it different from the V (Violet) shades?
BP Blue-Purple is a vivid, direct-deposit fashion shade in the Control Line, while the V shades (5V and 6V) in the standard Gold line are oxidative blonde shades with a violet undertone. The V shades read as a subtle cool-tinted blonde; BP Blue-Purple reads as a clear, vivid blue-purple. BP Blue-Purple requires hair lightened to level 9 or above for the strongest result and fades faster than an oxidative shade - expect three to four weeks before the colour noticeably fades.
What base colour do I need for EVESEL BP Blue-Purple?
For a vivid, true blue-purple result, your hair should be at level 9 or above - very pale yellow to white. On a level 7-8 golden-blonde base, BP Blue-Purple will appear as a darker, more muted navy or olive-toned purple. On hair that is level 9-10 (pale platinum yellow), the result is a clear, electric blue-purple that matches the shade description. Pre-lighten with the 12G Highlighter or a bleach product before applying BP Blue-Purple if your hair is darker than level 8.
Which Control Line shade is for grey hair coverage?
Control Line GP Wine is the only Control Line shade designed for full grey and white hair coverage. It deposits a rich wine-burgundy result while fully covering resistant grey strands. AG Grey is a toning shade, not a coverage shade - it deposits cool ash pigment but does not fully cover grey; it blends and tones the grey rather than hiding it. TS Silver and BP Blue-Purple are fashion toners for pre-lightened hair, not grey coverage shades.
What is the result difference between 12G Highlighter and 9N Ultra Light Tan?
12G Highlighter is a pure high-lift formula that maximises lightening with minimal colour deposit - the result is the lightest possible near-platinum base. 9N Ultra Light Tan lifts to a similar light level but deposits a warm, neutral tone alongside the lift, giving a natural sun-lightened blonde effect rather than a stark platinum. If you want the lightest possible base for toning afterward, choose 12G. If you want a complete light-blonde result without a separate toning step, choose 9N.
What does EVESEL Control Line GP Wine look like in practice?
GP Wine produces a deep wine-burgundy tone - a rich, warm dark red with a purple cast. On natural dark hair (levels 4-6), it reads as a subtle deep maroon in dim light and a vivid burgundy in bright light. On grey or white hair, where there is no competing natural melanin, the burgundy is much more vivid and saturated immediately after application. The result fades to a muted, darker maroon over three to four weeks and should be retouched for continued vibrancy.
Can I use Control Line AG Grey without bleaching first?
Yes, but the result depends on your starting colour. On hair lightened to level 7-8 (golden blonde or light brown), AG Grey deposits a visible cool ash tone and neutralises brassiness effectively. On natural medium-brown hair (level 4-6), AG Grey deposits cool ash but the result reads more as an ash-tinted brown than a visible grey - the dark base masks the toner effect. On natural salt-and-pepper hair, AG Grey blends the grey and dark sections toward a cooler, more unified tone without requiring bleach.
How light does my hair need to be for Control Line TS Silver to work?
For a bright, clean silver-white result, your hair needs to be at level 9-10 - pale to very pale yellow. On a level 9 pale yellow, TS Silver neutralises the yellow and gives a clear silver. On a level 7-8 golden yellow, TS Silver gives a darker pewter or ash-silver result. On hair darker than level 7, the result will read as a darkened ash-tone rather than silver. Pre-lighten with 12G or a bleach product to reach the pale yellow base before applying TS Silver.
Do I need a strand test for EVESEL 12G Highlighter?
Yes, especially if your hair has never been lightened before or if you have very dark natural hair. The 12G Highlighter uses a high-lift formula and a stronger developer than the standard Gold shades. On different hair types and starting levels, the result can vary more than with a standard shade. A strand test 24-48 hours before the full application tells you the exact lift level and tone you will achieve, and whether additional development time is needed. Never skip the strand test for high-lift applications.
How quickly does EVESEL BP Blue-Purple fade?
Blue and purple direct dyes fade faster than oxidative permanent shades. Expect BP Blue-Purple to remain vivid for two to three weeks with regular washing, and noticeably faded by four to five weeks. Washing in cool water, using a colour-depositing blue or purple shampoo weekly, and reducing wash frequency will extend the vibrancy. UV exposure and heat styling accelerate fade. A touch-up application every three to four weeks maintains the blue-purple result.
What is included in each EVESEL Gold kit in this high-capacity developer selection?
Every kit includes: one 120 ml colour cream tube, one high-capacity developer (oxidiser) bottle matched to the shade's chemistry, one applicator brush, one pair of gloves, and one post-colour conditioner sachet. All components for a single full application are in the box. For high-lift shades (12G, 9N, 10G) and Control Line shades, the included developer is the correct volume and strength - you do not need to purchase a separate developer.
