Meet the Heroes of Rebel Fusion

Each Rebel Fusion shade is a trending summer conversation starter, packed with personality and edge:
Psychedelic Lime
This is not your average green. Sitting somewhere between a pastel and a neon, Psychedelic Lime is soft yet striking. As International Goldwell Guest Artist international stylist Jools Purchase puts it: “It's a rule-breaking colour for a person who wants to be expressive.” With hues reminiscent of lime zest, fresh grass, and golden sunshine, it's a bold yet wearable burst of nature-inspired brightness.
Formula: 30 ml NB@10 + 30 ml YY@all + 1 ml Gn@all
Smoke Machine
For clients craving something cool, moody, and refined, Smoke Machine delivers a sultry blend of concrete grey and denim blue. It's both edgy and elegant, perfect for multi-tone contrasts or stand-alone drama. “Smoke Machine has the correct balance of cool tones to achieve that inspirational steel shade,” says Jools.
Formula: 10 ml NN@9 + 5 ml SB@10 + 1 ml Tq@all + 1 ml Bl@all
Velvet Cocoa
Velvet Cocoa is a comforting, velvet-rich brunette with subtle pink and lilac undertones, giving it an ultra-modern twist. As trend forecaster and colour expert Jane Boddy notes: “It's the definition of a modern brown, embodying sophistication.”
Formula: 20 ml BR@6 + 20 ml NB@5 + 3 ml Pk@all
Application Tips & Techniques:
To fully unleash Rebel Fusion's potential:
- For bright results, a clean canvas is crucial, almost white for Smoke Machine.
- Section the front and back while outlining the top.
- Alternate formulas for contrast (Psychedelic Lime first).
- Create thick sections and merge mid-lengths for dimension.
- Use back-to-back foils for clean blonding before colour deposit.
Care That Powers Creativity
Post-colour, maintain brilliance with:
- Elumen Shampoo & Conditioner
- Elumen Lock (5 minutes)
- Elumen Prepare (pre-colour) for optimal durability
