Elimin8 Q&A
Rusk Elimin8 color corrector gently removes oxidative hair color no matter how long it has
been in the hair without affecting the hair's natural pigment. This latest innovation from Rusk
uses a unique chemistry that reverses the oxidative color process by breaking the bonds
of color molecules, so color can be removed safely and effectively by merely shampooing the
hair. The thick, rich formula provides maximum control, allowing stylists to apply Elimin8
to only the areas that need color correction.
Elimin8 is easy to mix and apply; either an applicator bottle or a bowl and brush method can be
used. It is designed to be used for full or slight color corrections and may be used to lighten
up a shade that is too dark, to fix darkened ends or to correct an at-home color application.
The conditioning/moisturizing properties of step 1 Color Reducer and the Step 2 Conditioning
Catalyst leave hair in optimum condition. Elimin8 allows the salon professional to correct
virtually any unsatisfactory color process and therefore is indispensable in the salon. The
product has no unpleasant odor. A package of two four-ounce bottles contains sufficient
quantities for 6 - 16 applications, depending on whether being used for slight or full
color corrections.
