Evesel Hair Capacity Pieces

Yes. EVESEL Gold is suitable for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair textures, and for fine, medium, and coarse hair densities. The application technique needs minor adjustments for different types - shorter development time for fine or high-porosity hair, longer for coarse or resistant grey hair, and manual finger application rather than brush-only for tight curls. The colour chemistry works the same across all types; only the timing and product quantity vary.

Porosity describes how readily your hair absorbs and releases colour molecules. Low-porosity hair (tight cuticle) resists absorption and needs longer development time or a processing cap with heat to open the cuticle. High-porosity hair (open cuticle, common in bleached or over-processed hair) absorbs colour very quickly and can over-develop in less than 30 minutes. Normal-porosity hair follows standard development time (30-45 minutes). A simple porosity test: drop a strand of clean, dry hair into a glass of water. If it sinks quickly, your hair is high-porosity; if it floats for a long time, it is low-porosity.

Fine hair is more vulnerable to over-processing and reaches colour faster than coarse hair. Start checking the result at 25 minutes rather than waiting the full 30 minutes. Use slightly less product per subsection - fine strands need less coverage than thick ones. For lightening shades (9N, 10G, 12G), do a strand test first: fine hair can lift dramatically with high-lift formulas, sometimes beyond the intended result.

Curly and coily hair benefits from manual application alongside or instead of a brush. Apply the colour cream with gloved fingers, working section by section and scrunching the mixture into the curl pattern to ensure the cream reaches the inner surfaces of each coil. Work in slightly smaller sections than you would on straight hair. Curly hair tends toward higher porosity, so monitor development starting at 25 minutes and rinse as soon as the target shade is reached.

Bleached hair is highly porous and absorbs colour quickly. Start checking the result at 20 minutes. If the target shade has been reached, rinse immediately - do not wait the full 30-45 minutes, as bleached hair can become over-saturated and the colour can appear darker or more intense than intended. Apply from the mid-lengths and ends first (which are typically more bleached) and add the roots in the last 10-15 minutes, as root heat causes faster development at the scalp.

Yes, but the two chemical processes should not be done close together. Both chemical relaxers and permanent hair dye alter the hair's bond structure, and doing both within a short window dramatically increases breakage risk. Wait at least three weeks after a fresh relaxer before applying EVESEL Gold. For ongoing maintenance, apply EVESEL Gold only to new growth when possible, avoiding reapplication to the already-relaxed and colour-treated lengths unless they have fully faded and you are refreshing a full-head colour change.

The first application on natural, untreated hair typically produces the most dramatic and vivid result, because the full natural melanin base is being worked with for the first time. On dark natural hair, lifting shades (6G through 12G) will reveal underlying warm pigments - red and orange - which are natural byproducts of removing dark melanin. Golden shades are designed to harmonise with this warmth. If the first result is slightly warmer than expected, a subsequent retouch with a more neutral or violet shade can adjust the tone. Subsequent applications on already-coloured hair produce smaller changes than the initial application.

Yes. Blend two standard Gold shades (e.g. 6G and 8G, or 8G and 5N) by mixing the two colour tubes together before adding developer. Use developer from one included bottle at a 1:1 ratio relative to the total volume of combined colour cream. Do not mix Control Line shades (TS Silver, GP Wine, AG Grey) with standard Gold shades - these are formulated differently. Custom blends produce predictable results within the same tone family; switching between warm and cool families (gold and violet) produces a muted, complex result.

Very thick or dense hair typically requires two kits for a full root-to-ends application. Mix and apply the first kit fully, then immediately mix and apply the second without pausing or letting the first application dry out. For a root-only retouch on thick hair, one kit is usually sufficient if you work in neat, thin sections and apply thoroughly. Purchase an extra kit when you first start using EVESEL Gold until you know how much your hair requires.

Each kit contains: one 120 ml colour cream tube, one large-capacity developer (oxidiser) bottle matched to the shade's developer strength, one applicator brush, one pair of application gloves, and one post-colour conditioner sachet. All the components needed for a single full application are included - you only need a non-metallic mixing bowl, an old towel for shoulders, and a processing cap (improvise with a plastic bag or cling film if needed).

Highlighted sections are more porous than the dark base and absorb colour faster. If you apply EVESEL Gold over a blend of highlights and darker base, the lighter sections will develop and appear more intense more quickly. This can lead to uneven results if you apply the same colour across both areas for the same development time. For even results: apply the colour to the dark base first and let it develop for 15-20 minutes, then brush it through the highlights for the final 10-15 minutes. This gives both areas the right amount of development without over-saturating the lighter sections.
