I have used this in black for many years - it is one of the few jet blacks on the market that has slightly warm undertones and doesn't give my hair that slightly blue sheen. Lovely conditioning treatment comes with the colour too. Leaves the hair feeling and smelling luxurious afterwards, one of the better brands in terms of not leaving my hair feeling straw-like. Only downfall for me is my super thick hair requires two packets and sometimes almost three at it's longest so this is not an affordable option for me and it is almost more cost effective for me to have it done in a salon than to use this product. Touchups not so bad as I can get away with just the one box but the initial all over colouring outlay is not worth it for me.

Tips: Great product if you only need to use one box at a time!
This product is your standard dye-your-own-hair-kit. has a lovely scented condition to give it that shiny soft feel after colouring. Covers greys well, but does fade after a while making the grey stand out. Colours are pretty accurate on chart, but can appear dull without a shine product to follow.
This is easy to apply and there is plenty of it for people with long or thick hair. The colour matches to the box and it covers grey hair really well. It feels and smells gentler than most home colouring kits. If you want an easy to use product this is one of the best
I have black hair and use Ash Blonde 8.1 to achieve a really nice ashy brown colour. I re-do my roots once a month. This is my go-to hair-dye and is really easy to apply.
I've been a long-time fan of the Excellence range, but they seem to phase out my colours! I adored the Copper Blonde, and I got so many compliments when I was that colour. When they phased it out I switched to Copper Penny (which was way more red), but I can only find this shade on one of the deal sites. I'm switching to blonde now, using another l'Oreal product (the Mousse Absolute range - I bought a few boxes while I was overseas).
I really like the Excellence range, my colour almost always turns out the way it looks on the box. It doesn't fade as quickly as other brands I've tried.
Fantastic product. I hadn't used Excellence before now but I will be! Went on easily, the instructions were easy to follow. My hair went from a medium/dark brown to a dark plum without hot roots and super dark ends. Colour is even, grey is covered and my hair is really shiny and smooth. I am really happy with the colour, it was true to the swatch in the pharmacy.
Tips: Read instructions carefully. I nearly started colouring without putting the pro keratin treatment on first.
I think I used this for a number of years back when I still dyed my own hair. I would have to say of all the at home hair colours I have used, this is the best.
When I was going from being a bottle blonde back to my natural colour which is quite dark, this just covered it really well and didn't fade as much as other colours including some of the salon colours.
Tips: I would only colour regrowth for subsequent applications because you get a lot of colour build up if you are constantly colouring the same area. Colour build up makes it difficult if you want to change down the track.
Have had many bad experiences with colouring my hair at home, so I'm always a bit hesitant when it comes to purchasing these dyes. My reason for buying this particular brand was i had never had any luck with other affordable brands so i thought spending a bit extra might give a better result.
Right off the bat i was impressed with the minimal smell and loved the protecting serum that you massage into your ends before applying the colour. The colour itself was easy and mess free to apply, i really liked the comb applicator, it ensured a tidy and even application.
I left it for the recommended time and followed the instructions re rinsing and conditioning. It was easy to rinse out and after using the conditioner my hair was soft, shiny and smelt pleasant.
I didn't get the colour i set out to achieve but I'm not blaming the product, i would say it was a combination of my hair being too dark to start with or maybe i could have left it on a little longer.
I was impressed with this product from start to finish just for the quality and ease of use and the condition it left my hair in afterwards. Would i use it again? - Absolutely!
Tips: Definitely use the serum that comes with it, i believe that's what makes this product stand out to others on the market.
I usually colour my hair at the salon, but I needed a quick refresher for a last minute event. It was really easy to use and has lasted well I haven't had to much colour fade for a red shade which is pretty impressive as it was used over lighten hair. However I found the colour selection guides a bit hard and not accurate I was after a copper and has ended up redder than copper. Low stains to on the skin (bit of a mess as I was focusing on coverage)
Tips: Red colors run for quite a few weeks! Defiantly avoid light towels and even white tops
Have used this product alot in the past. It fully covers my greys and leaves my hair with a nice soft sheen. I think it does as good as job as any hair dying I have has in a salon.
Tips: Leave it on for the full amount of time suggested for the best coverage
