L'Oreal Paris Excellence Creme Permanent Triple Care Hair Color, 6 Light Brown Hair Dye Kit, Gray Coverage For Up to 8 Weeks, All Hair Types, Pack of 1

I like this color treatment. I used to use the pro stuff that the salons use. After reading up on all the toxic crud in these coloring agents, this one came up on Environmental Working Group's website as a safer alternative than some of the others. So while not being benign it does use less toxic ingredients. That being said it is easy to use and they give you everything you need including a set of gloves. They give you a ton of conditioner too. The color is good, like any hair color the longer you leave it, the darker it gets. It will quickly lighten up in the following 4-5 days after coloring. Always the balance is trying to get the gray hair to take the color while not letting the rest of your hair go too dark. I prefer to leave it on a shorter amount of time like, apply and then let sit for 15 minutes. I like the shorter time because it won't get too dark and if it leaves some gray I am ok as it makes my hair look more natural with some lighter and darker shades and a little gray. If you leave it in for 45 minutes even with this darkest blond you will look like elvis LOL, literally shoe polish black almost. I am guessing most people will probably go for 20-30minutes. My natural color is light to medium brown. After two weeks with this color my hair is usually light brown with some blond highlights and gray highlights. That is what works for me. More time in direct sun will lighten it pretty fast. If you are trying to stay consistent you will need to apply once a month. I typically let it go to 6 weeks.

I purchased two L’Oréal Paris Excellence hair dyes at the same time in two different shades: 6.11 and 6. The shade 6 arrived later, so I decided to use the darker shade 6.11 first. I followed all the instructions in the box, including washing my hair with the shampoo provided. However, after rinsing and drying, my hair remained grey and the dye did not give the expected coverage/result. I’m very disappointed, especially given the advertising and the results shown on the packaging.

Failed to get the hair coloured , but you can’t return

It was way darker than I expected

Excellent product! The result is just as good as a salon and the price is on point!
