L'Oréal Paris Préférence Wild Ombré Shade 2 Brown to Blonde Review

I love this stuff! I hate having to fork out over $100 each time to get my hair dyed at the salon so I gave this product a try and found it so easy to use! I love the messy ombre look and didnt want my hair to look too perfect - more of a messy beach look and it came out great. 6 months on and it still looks really cool - would use again!

I was getting bored with my hair and decided to do something crazy and branch out from the same style I have had for almost 4 years. I have wanted a balayage for ages now but its so expensive in salons. Instead, I picked up a box of loreal wild ombre on special for $13 and gave it a whirl myself!

Now I wanted a really subtle look so didn't do a straight ombre like on the box. I watched heaps of tutorials online and came across one which used backcombing to achieve a really natural result.

I have extremely thick, long hair so I was worried that the backcombing might be too difficult - and it was, to start with! It gets a bit confusing and you just have to keep going once you start! I tried my best to section off parts of my hair but ended up just grabbing chunks as i went,backcombing and then dying the end strands which were left. This is a really great way to diffuse the colour so it blends in more naturally.

After about 20 minutes ( I should have left it longer but was scared it would be too light) I rinsed it out , smothered my hair with conditioner and began the really arduous task of detangling the backcombed hair.

The result was perfect! Exactly how it looked in the tutorial, nice and subtle and extremely natural looking. However, after this first taste I wanted more... and so I ended up going back through my hair freestyling with the left over dye to create highlights throughout it. I really love the result but it definitely damaged my hair a wee bit so I think I will end up getting a cut and colour towards the end of summer!

My verdict is that its super easy to use, it has an awesome comb applicator that does the work for you and the colour is really nice once developed! If you're after a cheap fix and want to try something new then this is for you!

I decided to give this a go after i felt like i needed a bit of a change with my hair. I had really healthy hair before this product and had just had my regular trim so i had no damage on my ends. I washed the product out a little earlier than what it said just because i was worried that it would go orange/brassy yellow. After i got out of the shower i realized that it had completely fried my hair. It was so upsetting especially since id just had a hair cut and didn't leave it on for as long as it said i should. One small section of my hair even went stretchy and snapped. I most certainly won't ever be touching this ever again. Im still paying the price for using it with all these expensive repairing treatments.

I was very excited to try this out,I didn't expect some beautifully done salon ombre look but I wasn't expecting a better colour to have as my end result some strands the box colour took to and was perfect looking but a majority was a orange patchy mess just didn't look great. The brush really does not help it just tangles the hair so bad and still creates a deadline of colour between the two toned hair which looks horrible & is very hard to get the dye from the brush to the hair.Its a nicely packaged product with high quality items in the box gloves,brush etc instructions easy to understand, but its just not for me Only positive is that my hair was not not damaged but the dye at all even tho I then used the shade 4 after to try and lighten my hair still felt healthy and soft.

So easy to use and such a GREAT idea thank you Loreal! It smells great and is such a good value for money option and if you use it correctly the results look amazing! I have used this 3 times now and would definitely recommend this to others. Its a great way to gradually build up your desired ombre look and would even recommend this to amateurs its so easy and fun to use.

This product was great at lighting my ends but so is many other bleaches. The instructions were really good and so were the tools that come with it. But buying this dye I thought it would have dark dye and bleach for the ends but it's just bleach. It is a quality product though.

L'Oreal Paris Preference Wild Ombre - this dye is amazing!

I have used this twice now, to get a really nice highlighted/ombre look.

I previously paid $300 at a hairdressers to try and attain this look, but was completely unsatisfied with how it turned out... I left it for a couple of months so I wouldn't damage my hair then saw these babies online!

I watched countless amounts of youtube reviews, and tutorials about this product and decided to give it a go myself. The first time I left it on for the full amount of time, and it came it a gorgeous colour. I left this for a couple of months, and just this week decided I wanted to go even lighter. I used the same packet, and it looks amazing! I am so wrapped with how it has turned out.

My hair also feels amazing... it doesn't feel damaged at all. :) (BONUS)

NOW GO OUT AND TRY IT!

I absolutely love this trend and wanted to try it for ages but was too scared due to some diy disasters with bleach..But after reading so many posititive reviews about this product i finally did it and i'm glad i did love the result! My hair is a medium brown and turned out exactly the same as the model's on the box.

This product is super easy to apply you simply squirt the bleach formula onto the brush and comb through. The brush itself is fantastic you will want to keep that, the gloves a quite small if you have larger hands or long fingers they may not fit.

I left the product to develop on my hair for 45 minutes and did notice instantly upon washing out that my hair had dried out a bit, but that was to be expected. The conditioning treatment did help to put a bit of moisture back into my hair although i think it could be better. After putting some oils through my hair once it had dried it still seems to be in really good condition.

I have nothing negative to say about this product it's amazing, will be redoing in a couple of months to further lighten up for summer!

Very satisfied with this product. I kept the dye in for slightly longer then the instructions said because I wanted the colour stronger. This product is very easygoing to apply, it comes with a special brush for easy and effective application. There was alot of dye to go around, so even people with the thickest hair wouldnt run out. The shampoo seemed to dry up my hair quite alot though. Long term this product is very pleasing, it lasts months and fades slowly but still looks nice. I would deffinitely use this product again and I strongly recommend it to anyone who would like a simple hair change :)

I have never dyed my hair and I was beginning to find being brunette a bit boring. I have used this twice now, once my friends did it for me and the second time I did it by myself, both times I absolutely loved the results! The first time I used this my friends did it for me, as I have never dyed my hair before and was worried I wouldn't be able to do it myself. They did a great job and I ended up with a nice caramel colour in the ends of my hair. A couple of weeks later I got a trim and some of the coloured pieces were removed, ruining the effect, so I decided to give it a go by myself this time. I was quite nervous at first, but once I got started I found it quite easy. I have quite a bit of hair so I did it a layer at a time, I am happy I did this as I ended up with a variation of colour which created a more natural effect. Since there were still some blond bits from the first time I used this product, I also ended up with some very blond bits spread though out my hair which I also liked. This damaged my hair a little bit but of course this is to be expected as I was bleaching out my hair. The brush that came with this made the product easy to disperse, although for the tips I often used my fingers to work in the product so it would be more concentrated in my ends. Overall I am very happy with this product and I think it will look great in the summer. I am looking forward to using it again and next time I might try the one for darker hair.
