First-Time Guide to EVESEL Gold Hair Dye: What to Expect and How to Succeed
If you are new to Korean hair dye or trying EVESEL Gold for the first time, this guide sets realistic expectations and walks you through the process. EVESEL Gold is a permanent colour - it is designed to last and to make a real change to your hair colour, not a temporary wash-in-wash-out tint. Understanding what the 120 ml cream tube and bundled developer bottle deliver, and how to use them correctly, gives you the best possible result on the first try.
Permanent vs Temporary Dye: What EVESEL Gold Is
EVESEL Gold Hair Dye is a permanent dye - it changes the colour of your hair at the cortex level and does not wash out with shampoo. This differs from:
- Semi-permanent dye: No developer, deposits only on the surface, fades over 4-8 washes.
- Demi-permanent dye: Very low-volume developer, penetrates slightly, lasts 4-6 weeks.
- Temporary colour: A tint that coats the hair and washes out after 1-2 shampoos.
Because EVESEL Gold uses a 20 vol (6%) oxidiser for most shades, it opens the cuticle and deposits colour molecules that remain locked in the cortex until the hair physically grows out or is removed with bleach.
Understanding the 120 ml Cream Tube Format
EVESEL Gold colour cream comes in a 120 ml tube - larger than many standard retail dye formats (which run 60-80 ml). The cream consistency is important: it is thick enough to stay in place on all hair lengths without dripping, but fluid enough once mixed with the developer to be distributed easily with a brush. The extra volume matters for:
- Long hair (past the shoulder) where you need enough product to reach the ends
- Thick or dense hair where more product is needed per subsection
- Root-to-ends applications on any hair length
The included developer bottle is matched in size to the 120 ml tube - enough for a standard 1:1 mix with no rationing needed.
Choosing Your First EVESEL Gold Shade
For first-time at-home colourists, these shade choices tend to produce the most forgiving results:
- 5N Natural Brown - The safest entry point for darkening or grey coverage. Natural tones are hard to over-do and complement most skin tones.
- 6G Dark Golden Blonde - A one-to-two level lift with warm tone on medium brown hair. Warm golden shades are more forgiving on imperfect application timing than cool or ashy shades.
- 8G Bright Golden Blonde - Good for hair already at a light-medium brown level. Warm blondes fade gracefully and do not look as harsh when roots show.
Avoid the 12G Highlighter and Control Line TS Silver for a first application - these require more precision (pre-lightened base for TS Silver, exact timing for 12G high-lift) than a standard shade.
Mixing the Dye and Developer: Step by Step
- Lay out your supplies: the colour tube, the developer bottle, an applicator brush, a non-metallic mixing bowl, gloves, and an old towel for your shoulders.
- Put on the gloves before touching either component.
- Squeeze the full colour tube into the bowl.
- Measure an equal volume of developer from the bottle and pour it into the bowl over the colour cream.
- Mix with the applicator brush in circular motions until fully blended - no white streaks from the developer remaining. The final mixture should be a uniform, smooth cream.
- Apply immediately. Do not pre-mix and wait - the chemical reaction starts on contact and the mixture degrades if left unmixed in the bowl for more than 30 minutes.
Expected Results Based on Your Starting Hair Colour
Permanent dye lifts and deposits simultaneously. The actual result depends on your natural (or current) hair colour:
- Black hair (level 1-2): Golden shades will produce auburn or red tones; violet shades will appear as dark burgundy. True blonde is not achievable without bleaching first.
- Dark brown hair (level 3-4): Golden shades lift to a warm medium brown or brassy dark blonde; 10G and 12G can reach a true blonde result with full development time.
- Medium brown hair (level 5-6): The full range of shades is accessible. Golden blondes appear warm and vivid; violet shades show clear cool undertones.
- Light brown / dark blonde hair (level 6-7): Almost all shades produce predictable results matching the shade description. 9N and 12G can achieve very light blonde.
- Previously bleached hair: Avoid depositing golden shades on a very pale base - they may appear more vivid (almost orange) than expected. Test with a strand first.
What To Do If the Result Is Not What You Expected
If the colour is too dark: wait two weeks and use a clarifying shampoo three or four times - this gently fades permanent colour. If still too dark, a professional colour remover (not bleach) can strip the artificial pigment without lightening the natural base.
If the colour is too light or did not lift enough: the hair may be resistant or overly coated. A second application after 48 hours with the same shade and a 30-minute development time can increase depth. Do not apply a darker shade on top without consulting a guide - this can produce unpredictable greenish or muddy results on previously dyed hair.
If the colour is too warm or too cool: use a toning shampoo between retouches to shift the tone in the opposite direction. For warm results, use a purple shampoo; for overly cool results, use a yellow or gold colour-depositing product.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
I have never coloured my hair before - which EVESEL Gold shade should I start with?
For first-time home colourists, choose a shade close to your natural colour or one level lighter. 5N Natural Brown is the most forgiving shade in the range - it is hard to over-do and gives reliable, even results on most hair types. If you want a warmer, lighter result, 6G Dark Golden Blonde offers a controlled one-to-two level lift with flattering warm tones. Avoid the 12G Highlighter or Control Line TS Silver for a first application - these require more technique and a specific base colour to achieve the intended result.
Is one 120 ml tube of EVESEL Gold enough for long hair?
One 120 ml tube paired with the included developer bottle is sufficient for shoulder-length hair of average thickness. For waist-length hair or very thick, dense hair, one kit may not fully saturate the mid-lengths and ends. In that case, purchase two kits - use both colour tubes and both developer bottles in sequence for the same application session. Mix and apply the first kit, then immediately mix and apply the second without letting the first dry out.
Which EVESEL shades are available in this selection?
This collection includes 9 shades: 5N Natural Brown, 5V Dark Violet Blonde, 6G Dark Golden Blonde, 6V Bright Violet Blonde, 8G Bright Golden Blonde, 9N Ultra Light Tan, 10G Bright and Strong Golden Blonde, 12G Highlighter, and Control Line TS Silver. Each kit includes the 120 ml colour tube and a large-capacity developer bottle.
Does each EVESEL kit include the developer bottle?
Yes. Every EVESEL Gold Hair Color kit includes both the 120 ml colour cream tube and a large-capacity developer (oxidiser) bottle. You do not need to purchase developer separately. The included developer is matched to the specific shade's requirements - standard 20 vol for most shades, higher-volume for the 12G Highlighter to enable its high-lift chemistry.
Will EVESEL Gold give a true blonde result on naturally black hair?
No, not in a single step. Black hair (natural levels 1-2) cannot reach a true blonde with a standard permanent dye like EVESEL Gold, even the 12G Highlighter. The dye can lift dark hair two to three levels, so the result on black hair would be a dark auburn or warm copper - not blonde. To achieve blonde on black hair, a bleaching process is needed first, followed by an EVESEL Gold shade applied on the lifted base. A salon professional is recommended for this multi-step process.
What can I do if EVESEL hair colour turns out too dark?
Permanent colour cannot be shampooed out, but it does fade with repeated washing. Use a clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo (which strips colour faster than regular shampoo) three to four times over two weeks to lighten the result gradually. If you need faster correction, a professional colour remover (such as ColourB4 or similar) removes artificial pigment from the hair without bleach. Avoid applying a lighter shade directly on top of too-dark permanent colour - this rarely lightens effectively and can produce uneven results.
What is the difference between 10G and 12G Highlighter?
10G (Bright and Strong Golden Blonde) and 12G (Highlighter) are both high-lift shades, but they differ in the degree of lightening and colour deposit. 10G deposits a vivid golden blonde tone while lifting two to three levels from natural hair - you get both lift and warm colour. 12G is a high-lift formula that maximises lightening action with less colour deposit, aiming for the lightest possible base. If you want a warm, vivid result that reads clearly as golden, choose 10G. If you want maximum lift to a near-platinum base (for toning with TS Silver or another toner), choose 12G.
How quickly does EVESEL Gold Hair Color show results?
The colour result is visible as soon as you rinse out the mixture - typically after 30 to 45 minutes of development time. The final colour settles and oxidises for up to 24 hours after application, so the hue you see immediately after rinsing may deepen very slightly over the following day. This is normal. Do not judge the final result or plan any corrections until at least 24 hours have passed and the hair is dry.
What base colour does my hair need to be for Control Line TS Silver to work?
Control Line TS Silver is a toner - it deposits cool silver-white pigment and does not lighten. For a true, bright silver result, your hair needs to be at a level 9-10 (pale yellow to white) before applying TS Silver. On a pale yellow base, the silver toner neutralises the yellow and gives a clean, cool silver. On darker bases (level 7-8 yellow-gold), TS Silver will produce a darker pewter or ash-toned result rather than true silver. If your hair is not light enough, pre-lighten with 12G Highlighter or a bleach product first.
Do the EVESEL kits include gloves for application?
Yes. EVESEL Gold Hair Color kits include application gloves and an applicator brush alongside the colour tube, developer bottle, and post-colour conditioner. Always wear the gloves - the colour mixture stains skin and nails and the developer can cause localised bleaching on contact. If the gloves in the kit are too small, substitute your own nitrile gloves before starting.
