L'Oreal Paris Excellence Review

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.

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.

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.

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

I’ve taken to colouring my own hair to save money and so I can spend more on other beauty products. It really is hit and miss when you use blonde hair colour. My natural hair is a mix of light brown and grey. I have tried this one and the one geared towards grey hair and neither have left me with what I would call “blonde “ hair. I literally coloured my hair last night and followed the instructions to the letter. I also used a toner afterwards to remove any brassy tones. My hair looks reddish and not in a nice strawberry blonde way which sometimes happens when I colour at home. My greyish temples are exactly as they were before, grey. I never expect salon results from a home dye kit but my hair just looks flat and dirty. This is the second time I’ve tried this dye hoping that I just wasn’t doing it properly the first time but no I’m not a fan and definitely won’t be repurchasing. It does however leave my hair feeling very soft and manageable. It may work well for some people but unfortunately I’m not one of them.

I really like this hair dye, it actually covers my grey hairs, of which there are a number. It's a little more pricey, but I think its worth it for the longer lasting dye. The colors are what you'd expect from the line, every day colors, but I like that. Overall it's a dye I'd recommend.
