Change is not always so good

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.

L'Oreal Excellence Creme

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.

So far so good!

I used this 2 days ago (I'll update how long it lasts later), after deciding to go back to my natural dark brown hair colour.

I brought it from the supermarket on sale for about $18? Not the cheapest but wanted to give it a go. I like the packaging and the Advances Protection was what sold it for me. I have been doing crazy things with my hair, black, bleeched then applied red as well as doing a ombre effect. I brought the colour Darkest Brown

Application required you rubbing a protectant cream through the damaged parts of your hair first. It was lovely and smelled fruity. The gloved are the quality ones that fit properly and come in the egg holder thing. Mixing the colour is easy. You even get a comb attachment to use if required. I didn't use that. The mixture is runnyish. Easy to go through the hair. I didn't do the patch test (yes I no I should being a sensitive skin gal) it didn't sting at all. No reaction whatsoever. I waited for the 30 minutes for it to develop and washed off in the shower following up with the conditioner supplied.

I immediately blow dried my hair and was amazed at how amazing my hair felt. Each hair felt fuller and so healthy. The condition is amazing! The colour is a rich deep dark brown. It's shiny even after washing with shampoo. It has covered up the red and black I had in my hair easy

I like that this doesn't stain your skin and scalp. Some other ones I do can take alot of washes ro remove it.

***UPDATE*** It's lasted 7 weeks easy! The blonde bits that were in my hair haven't even shown through. Totally be buying this again!

Tips: I used the bossy makeup remover to wipe where the colour got onto my skin. I rubbed it off with that

The Best box color

I have been using box colors from last 8 years. I have lot of grey hair. I have to cover roots after every two weeks. I used many brands like Garnier , Revlon , Schwarzkopf and Loreal. Once I bought the Loreal excellence cream hair color .. it was totally different experience . This range of Loreal contains ammonia though but the color shade I got is the best I got from other color brands. I found my hair not much dry after each application and better dyed means got fully grey coverage. That was the best part of this color . The conditioner that comes with this hair color makes your hair shiny and soft. I would say that it is one of the best hair color available in the supermarkets. I started using this color since then .It’s pricy though but spending bit more money wouldn’t disappoint you at all.

Tips: The color builds up on the forehead anyway specially when trying to cover grey hairline but goes off easily by makeup remover .!

One of my go to hair colours

L'Oreal Excellence Creme has to be one of my favourite home hair colours.

Not only does it go on easy, but the colour is always vibrant, and lasts a long time before starting to look dull.

I highly recommend it.

the best grey coverage

Have been colouring my hair at home for ten years or so, my Mum used to be a hairdresser and does it, I have been grey since my late 20's so do a blonde shade for coverage, do every 6 weeks or so and sometimes and in betweeny hairline touch up and Mum trims, then do a salon visit every few months for cut and highlights or low lights a couple of times a year for a freshen up and change. This is hands down the most reliable hair colour product on the market, I have tried at least 5 other types at various times as they have been on special and this is the best one, any L'Oreal one is worth paying the extra bit for, if it goes on special I stock up. I use the blondes and have tried different looks, it always comes out as its says it will on the hair colour comparison before/after chart, there are never any horrible surprises and the colour lasts the longest, you get the most body and volume and shine after. The only one to use really. Especially if you have grey cover needing doing. If there were more workshops or something in how to apply home colour for a friend more people would do this, but then the salons could also look at offering a top up service - hairline etc and not charge you a full colour price. You don't have to walk out everytime with perfect blow wave hair, you just want your roots done !!

Once bitten

I was going through a through a blonde/golden brown phase for about 3 years and I was in search for that "perfect shade" and this was one of the first dyes I tried. Being a more expensive box dye I was pretty much expecting the moon and stars for my hair.

My hair is naturally black so I had no expectations of going blonde from my natural hair. My hair had already been coloured and lightened by a disappointing dye which made my hair a shade of orange rather than any shade of blonde.

I was excited to try this dye and got the lightest shade of golden blonde in hopes to soften and take away the orange tinge in my hair but also hoping for some golden/honey blonde as my hair was already lightened.

The colour creme is really luxurious and I understand the price because it feels as though you're dunking your hair in aqueous cream. It is so thick and creamy. The conditioner provided was to dye for and made my hair so soft and very silky.

Wow wee when I rinsed the colour developer from my hair it was the most gorgeous shade of BROWN!! (according to my friends). I was so upset and livid because I wasted my money on this product and not to mention waste my time looking like a clown. I walked around with a orange hair shade for about 6 weeks because I was aware of the dilemnas I could create dying my hair in short intervals.

Maybe the Loreal dye hated the previous dye I used and turned brown, I'm not sure, but I never bought this dye this dye again and never will. I'm not chemist but I'm pretty sure the lightest shade of blonde is never meant to turn BROWN!

I've used many other dyes since and not had this problem of going brown with any other hair dye when I hair is pre lightened.

Hun, I think that may be because 1. I the dye deposit from your black>brown may affect the effectiveness of this dye if it wasn't too long ago. 2. blonde box dyes usually aren't very strong 3. this series is not known for large color jumps

Love it...on sale.

The product works really well, and the range of colors is amazing! i live by these for lightening/ombreing my hair. Only issue is that I think they're slightly pricey, and I only buy them on sale. The smell is truly not that bad, and easily tolerable considering all its plus points!

Covers Grey beautifully

I have a lot of grey hair and find it difficult to find a product that works. L'Oreal Excellence gives brilliant coverage & a nice natural colour. My hair grows fast so I have regrowth showing within two weeks. L'Oreal is gentle enough to use regularly. My hair stays shiny and soft and doesn't dry out which is really important to me as I have really long hair and don't get it trimmed often. My hairdresser is always surprised that there's hardly any build up of colour in the ends. L'Oreal Excellence comes with a nice conditioner that lasts two or three washes (depending on how much you use). The only drawback is the price. I would definitely use it it again. I used Dark Brown.

Tips: When covering regrowth only cover the roots and grey areas to avoid build up, unless you are using a completely different colour.
