L'Oreal Paris Excellence Review

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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.
