The L'Oreal Paris Excellence hair colour excels in providing a permanent, uniform darkest black shade while simultaneously caring for your hair. Its Pro-Keratin and Ceramide enriched formula actively works to strengthen hair fibers, which is particularly beneficial for those concerned about potential damage from chemical treatments. Users typically experience a noticeable reduction in hair breakage post-colouring, along with improved silkiness and nourishment.
The non-drip crème formula makes at-home application less messy and more manageable, even for those new to DIY hair colouring. The included comb applicator is a significant advantage, allowing for precise colour distribution from root to tip, ensuring even coverage, especially important for achieving uniform results on grey hair.
With results visible in under 30 minutes, it's a time-efficient solution for maintaining your desired hair colour. The colour's longevity, up to 8 weeks, means fewer touch-ups are required, making it a convenient choice for busy individuals. This product is ideal for anyone seeking full grey coverage and a rich, natural black colour, coupled with a focus on hair health.
Perform a Patch Test: Absolutely crucial. Apply a small amount of product mixture to a cleansed area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow) 48 hours before full application. Do not wash, cover, or disturb the area. If you experience any reaction like itching, redness, or swelling, do not use the product.
Preparation: Put on the gloves provided. Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed.
Mix the Colour: Pour the entire contents of the colouring cream into the developer bottle. Close the bottle and shake thoroughly until the mixture is completely blended.
Application: Immediately after mixing, open the applicator tip. Use the comb applicator to apply the colour mixture evenly to your hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure all hair, especially grey areas, is thoroughly saturated.
Develop: Leave the colour on for the recommended development time, as specified in the instruction leaflet (typically under 30 minutes).
Rinse: Once the development time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
Shampoo: Apply the caring scalp shampoo provided to your hair and gently massage. Rinse thoroughly.
Mask: Apply the caring lightweight mask to your hair. Leave it on for the recommended time, then rinse.

Gentle Hair Products: Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your colour.

Sun Protection: Consider using UV protection sprays or hats if spending extended time in direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
