Excellence Crème Permanent Hair Dye, Triple Care Hair Color with Hyaluronic Acid for 100% Gray Coverage, 8.5A Medium Light Ash Blonde, 1 Kit (Packaging May Vary)

I never expected hair color to be something I get through Amazon, but I got tired of local store shelves not stocking my specific hair color shade during the holidays - and local stocking problems have been getting worse, maybe as more people find out how great this hair color works! During COVID, I exclusively began coloring my hair at home, and I'm still doing that. The money savings are outstanding (I've paid as much as $200 for hair color appt, with tip) so a box that is between $8-14 (goes on sale at times, different stores offer at different prices) saves me a LOT of money. I also like being able to control the timing, as I can do it at night when stores are closed. I find this doesn't drip, so I do sometimes leave the bathroom and wonder around to get things done around the house while its working or sometimes just veg and watch TV. I like the comb applicator a lot, because I feel this helps get it down closer to scalp roots. I have a little ritual for mixing the color - after getting all the color out into the applicator bottle - and I mean ALL the color out, just like your hairstylist does - use a comb or other hard edged something and push every last bit of color out - after that I put the applicator top back on the applicator bottle for shaking. I don't stop with just shaking. Once I think it is mixed, then I open the very top tiny tip cap of the applicator bottle, loosen the applicator top, and I blow into the tip to push the mixed color and applicator product back fully into the applicator bottle. Then I retighten both tops on the applicator bottle, and I shake more. This way if straight color got stuck into the applicator top, it is back into the bottle for complete mixing. I don't know if this matters, but I have consistent color application every time I use this product. Once I'm done shaking, then I put on the comb applicator, the included gloves, and then I start with my hair top center part area and temples, and then scalp hair tips all over, including even the undersides and back, as I often wear my hair in a ponytail. If my hair grows long down to or past my shoulders, then I've been known to use two boxes for coloring, but usually one box is all I need for coloring my hair (I have included a photo so you see length - I colored my hair two nights ago). The instructions are clear. I've been with them through 3 product changes (this recent hyaluronic acid being most recent). BTW, I didn't notice any difference using this new formulation, so if you loved it before, you'll keep loving it. Through the years, I have tried a few other colors in this color range, but I keep coming back to 8.5 because it's the color I naturally had most of my life, though I started getting white hair at either 18 or 20 years old. I am a blue eyed blonde and I get complements on my hair all the time - I laugh and say you can have this color too - it's Loreal 8.5. In case Amazon mixes my hair color review with other reviews for other products, this is my hair color's description: L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème Permanent Hair Dye, Triple Care Hair Color with Hyaluronic Acid for 100% Gray Coverage, 8.5A Medium Light Ash Blonde, 1 Kit (Packaging May Vary) I hope my review helps someone else.

Easy to use n the color matches great. Been using this brand n shade for a few years. I never go to a salon for my roots anymore.

Beautiful color and left hair healthy and soft.

Don't believe the hype about gray coverage.

Reliable and better for my hair than the Preference versions, which made my hair fall out a lot after the coloring. This is gentle on older hair and bleached or colored hair. I recommend using the little vial to pre-treat your drier areas bcs it really makes a difference by protecting them.

I have been using this hair color for a long time and am always happy with the results. The price was excellent, so I bought three boxes. Great quality and value!

Good product, one of 2 I am regularly using.

Don’t like the color

I normally get my hair coloured at hairdresser. I have deep ash blonde “base” with multi highlights. Dreaded ruining my hair with home colour. Beautiful colour. My hair feels fantastic. Roots (grey) for 25 minutes then worked the colour thru my hair for 3-5 minutes. Grey covered. Multicoloured hair. Great. Toned down any brassiness with pulling colour thru my hair for minimal time. The pre-root conditioner is great. Pulled thru bottom 1/2 of my hair.

It’s not effective to my hair no anything changed.i don’t know why I leave it 1hours but no changes 😔

Nice product but hair came out darker than the picture. Hoping it will Lighten up after a few washes.

Producto bueno, si quieres cambiar es bueno

I am naturally an ash blonde. I go blonde. Dark. Blonde. Dark. I have finally found the perfect colour. Just love it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
