L'Oreal Paris Excellence Review

I have recently gone from natural black her to red copper and you can imagine my hair is totally frizzled from the colour strippers and bless h I have used to be able to go lighter. I have used many box dyes in my time but this one is currently my go to. It has made my hair shiny and healthy again, I have long hair below my mid back and one bottle was enough - I LOVE that they provide a shampoo to wash your hair during the rinse, that is not something a lot of box dyes provide and it sealed the deal for me for this box dye. The colour looks great and doesn’t rinse/fade out as fast as other brads I’ve used. I’m really happy with this

Since Covid I have become an expert colourist along with many others.

When it comes to a lasting permanent colour, this would be one of my top picks.

Like most hair colour kits it comes with the colour creme and developer, a small bottle of conditioner and massive gloves.

I personally use my own gloves and collect the conditioners to refill my pump conditioner bottle.

But in terms of the colour it’s a fairly natural looking colour, it doesn’t usually irritate the skin and with regrowth can last about 5 weeks.

It is one of the more expensive options, but on a good special well worth the extra investment.

This is one of the very few home hair colours I've used that actually covers my greys( around 30 %) I find it super hydrating and it leaves my hair soft and shiny, the aftercare conditioner is devine also. The only reason it only gave it 4 stars is that the colour i usually use does eventually fade and leave a slightly brassy tone which im not a fan of.

I have dyed my hair for over 20 years so it's safe to say I'm an expert at it lol. I've tried probably every single dye on the market. I picked this one up from the Chemist Warehouse a few months ago, it was on special for around $18.

I have shoulder length hair and 1 box was more than enough for me. I got the shade Mahogany Brown. I never use the gloves that come with dyes, they are always giant and ridiculous. I recommend buying a box of latex gloves so you always have some on hand.

It's pretty standard, mix together and apply. I found it easy to cover all my hair and it didn't drip at all. I let it sit for 45 minutes then washed out. I love the conditioner that comes with it, smells devine and isn't in one of those silly, fiddly sachets!

My hair felt really nice upon drying. It was super soft and shiny, didn't feel damaged at all. All my greys were covered and it looked even. As for the colour, it was OK but I wouldn't select that shade again as it was not as dark as I was wanting. Overall though it's a lovely dye which I will buy again.

I've been using the Excellence range for ages , and although I understand the need to change with the fashion it seems to me that they change too frequently and just when you find a colour that suits, it has been phased out. It takes a while to find the perfect colour because they are not always the colour they appear to be on the box. The application is easy, the fragrance is pleasant and most of all the conditioner is to die for! Genuinely leaves (even dry hair) feeling soft and silky. Be careful when touching up the roots not to apply to the entire head as the colour does build up.

This hair dye did not really agree with my hair. I feel that it never really changed my hair color like other hair dyes do. I like how good the gloves are (they don't rip or get in the way) and I like how it came with a protection cream to apply prior to the application. However the places that I applied the protection cream didn't color that well. It's a good idea though in theory. This hair dye did not damage my hair at all which was a bonus and the conditioner is really hydrating and nourishing. I do believe that this will do a good job for someone who is wanting to cover up their grey hairs or even just to do a touch up of the roots . Overall I really wanted to like this but It didn't really do much for my hair.
