reviews

• I love this product. I usually go to a salon for color but decided to try L’Oréal. Saw some good reviews. So glad I did. My hair is naturally dark brown with a small amount of gray. It had been over high lighted but for the past 6 months just had overall color professionally done . I was never happy with the salon color, it was too dark didn’t look natural and very drying. This color left my hair in brownreally healthy condition and it looks so natural ( light brown 6a). Will definitely be using again. It covered the gray really well!! Left my hair very shiny and healthy looking.
• I used Loreal, however I switched to Esalon. Pricy but loved the color. I looked at the Mefium Redish Brown from Loreal and thought I would switch back. So glad I did, much better than it use to be, and covered my stubborn gray root with even color through out. LOVE IT
• 9-1/2A is my favorite shade, but it is not stocked in the stores, and now it’s also out online. Please keep this one in stock because the “N” types turn my hair too brassy because my hair already has a lot of warm tones in it.
• I love love love this product i have used it for over ten years and its the only Hair color that covers all my Grey and White Hair and Last i can go two months if i wanted to without coloring and my hair is so soft and shineing i love it
• I’ve been using this for three years and love it. No drips all over, color is true and it’s easy to apply and wash out. No residue left on the scalp either. I also love the new tube of protection for hair ends to keep them from becoming darker. This color looks darker on my hair than the box, so be sure and test strip. My hair is naturally dark brown at this point with about 50% white. It still covers evenly. Washing 2-3 times a week with L’Oreal product keeps the fade away. I color every 5-6 weeks, roots 20 min, all over 10. My white is stubborn. I’m 55 and my hair is fine and I am Northern European white. Hope this helps someone.
• I bought this product for te first time and wanted to give it a try, I have dark brown hair and I wanted to lighten it, i bought the light golden brown, there was no change at all. The wait time is 30mins, after 30mins I washed a part to check but there was no changes, I waited for 10 more minutes and washed the hair completely I could not find any difference. Even after 40mins my hair color stayed the same. The instructions are confusing as well, the label on the bottles/ tubes have the 1,2,3 and on the instructions it’s something else. Waste of money and time
