Evesel Color Capacity Pieces
EVESEL Gold Hair Color bundles a 120ml dye tube with a large-capacity oxidizer bottle in every single piece, so the developer volume is always matched to the color formula. Available in nine shades from natural brown to ultra-light golden blonde, silver, and violet tones, each kit is self-contained and requires no separate developer purchase.

EVESEL Gold Hair Color: Understanding the Large-Capacity Oxidizer Format
The defining feature of EVESEL Gold Hair Color is the pairing of a 120ml professional color tube with a large-capacity oxidizer bottle in each piece. Unlike drugstore kits that use a small 60-80ml developer, the full-capacity format ensures even saturation on longer or thicker hair without running short mid-application. This guide explains what the capacity advantage means in practice, how to choose your shade, and how to get the most from each piece in the six-pack set.
Why Oxidizer Capacity Matters
Developer volume determines how far your mixed color reaches. A larger oxidizer bottle allows you to use the full 120ml color tube without diluting the formula beyond its designed ratio. For hair that is past shoulder length or above-average density, this means consistent color from root to tip rather than running out before finishing. Smaller developer bottles force you to either stretch the mix (affecting lift) or stop short.
The Six-Piece Bundle Format
Each listing covers a single shade sold as a set of six self-contained pieces. Six pieces is the standard Korean professional unit for this product line. Each piece includes one color tube and one oxidizer bottle, so you get six complete applications. For regular touch-ups every 6-8 weeks, a six-piece set covers approximately a full year of root maintenance.
Selecting the Right Shade Number
Shade codes combine a depth number with a tone letter. Depth runs from 5 (medium) to 12 (ultra-light highlighter). Tone letters: N = natural, G = golden, V = violet, TS = tone-on-tone silver. Start with a shade at your current hair level or one level lighter for safe, predictable results. Jumping three or more levels lighter in one session with a home color kit is unlikely to achieve the result shown on-pack and may cause uneven lift.
The 12G Highlighter Shade
The 12G Highlighter is the lightest and most golden shade in the range. It is designed for hair that is already lightened or naturally very light (level 8-9 or above). On darker starting hair, 12G deposits a warm tone but does not provide extreme blonde lift through pigment alone. Use it as a brightening step after pre-lightening rather than as a first-pass lightener on dark brown or black hair.
5N Natural Brown for Gray Coverage
5N Natural Brown is a neutral mid-depth shade suited to covering gray without altering the underlying tone. The N designation means there is no warm or cool cast, so it blends with most natural hair colors in the level 4-6 range. For significant gray coverage (30% or more), apply to dry, unwashed hair and ensure full saturation at the roots where gray tends to concentrate.
Mixing the Full Capacity Correctly
Squeeze the entire color tube into the oxidizer bottle, close the nozzle cap, and shake for 20 seconds. The bottle is designed to accept the full tube, so do not partially fill it. Once mixed, the formula must be used within the same session; the oxidation reaction begins immediately and leftover mixed color loses potency within 30-40 minutes. Do not store mixed formula.
Processing Time and Rinse
Leave color on for 25-30 minutes. A processing cap helps retain heat in cool environments and keeps the formula from drying at the ends. Rinse with warm (not hot) water until the water runs completely clear, then follow with the included conditioner. Avoid shampooing for 48 hours to allow the cuticle to close and lock in pigment. Color fade accelerates significantly in the first two washes if done too soon after application.
Shelf Life and Storage of Unused Pieces
Store unused pieces at room temperature between 5°C and 30°C, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The sealed oxidizer bottle is pressurized; keep it upright and away from sharp objects. Properly stored unopened pieces remain usable through the printed expiry date. Opened or mixed formula cannot be re-sealed and should not be stored.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does 'large-capacity oxidizer' mean?
The oxidizer (developer) bottle included in each piece is sized to accept the full 120ml color tube, so the mixing ratio is preserved without running short. Standard drugstore kits often pair smaller developer with the same size color tube, which can force you to thin the mix or work with an incomplete application on longer hair.
Do I need to buy developer separately?
No. Each piece in the six-piece bundle includes its own large-capacity oxidizer bottle. No additional developer purchase is needed. The volume and strength are pre-matched to the 120ml color tube.
How many applications come in the set?
Each set contains six pieces, and each piece is one complete application for medium-length hair. Longer or thicker hair may require two pieces per session. Short or fine hair will use less than one piece per session, but mixed formula cannot be saved and should be discarded after use.
How do I read the shade codes like 5N or 10G?
The number is the depth level (5 = medium brown, 10 = very light blonde). The letter is the tone: N = natural/neutral, G = golden, V = violet, TS = tone-on-tone silver. Choose a depth level close to your natural hair level or one step lighter for safe results.
Which shade is best for covering gray hair?
5N Natural Brown is the standard choice for gray coverage in the medium-brown range. The neutral N tone blends with most natural base colors without adding warmth or coolness. For predominantly gray or white hair, the TS Silver Control Line shade is a tone-on-tone option that enhances the existing silver rather than covering it with a dark tone.
Who is the 12G Highlighter shade for?
12G Highlighter is for hair that is already at a light level (8-9 or above) from natural color or prior lightening. It deposits a bright golden tone and is not a bleaching product. It will not lift very dark hair to blonde in a single application; on dark hair it adds warm highlights rather than producing a pure blonde result.
How do I mix the color tube with the oxidizer bottle?
Squeeze the entire contents of the color tube into the included oxidizer bottle, cap, and shake for 20 seconds. The bottle is designed for the full tube volume. Do not use partial fills or add additional developer; the ratio is set by the product format and altering it affects lift and tone accuracy.
How long should the color process?
Process for 25-30 minutes at room temperature. Use a processing cap to retain heat if your environment is below 20°C. Do not exceed 40 minutes; longer processing does not improve results and increases the risk of scalp sensitivity. Check strand test results at the 25-minute mark before deciding to extend.
How do I maintain the violet tone between applications?
Violet pigment fades faster than neutral or golden tones. Use a sulfate-free shampoo, wash with cool water rather than hot, and use a color-depositing purple conditioner once a week. These steps can extend the visible tone by several washes compared to standard shampoo routines.
Is a patch test required?
Yes. Apply a small amount of mixed formula to the inner arm or behind the ear 48 hours before full application. Wait for any sign of redness, itching, or swelling. If any reaction occurs, do not use the product. Even if you have used hair color before, sensitivity can develop with new products or over time.
Can I store leftover mixed color for next time?
No. Once the color tube is mixed with the oxidizer, the formula begins reacting immediately. Leftover mixed color loses potency within 30-40 minutes and should be discarded. Unused unopened pieces can be stored until their expiry date.
Are these EVESEL products genuine?
Yes. Skinsli.com sources EVESEL products from verified Korean wholesale suppliers. All products are manufacturer-sealed. If you receive a package with broken seals or damaged packaging, contact customer support before using the product.
Why buy six pieces at once rather than one at a time?
The six-piece set is the standard professional unit for this product line. It provides a lower per-application cost compared to single-unit alternatives and ensures you have backup stock when the same shade is temporarily unavailable. For households where one person colors regularly, a six-piece set typically covers 9-12 months of use.
