Excellence Crème Hair Color, 7.5A Medium Ash Blonde

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 HAVE BEEN DYING MY HAIR FOR DECADES... I am now 76... yes... quite a huge age but my spirit is still young! Over the earlier years... and until a couple of years ago...I had been using Clairol SOY4PlEX that needed to be blended with a separate developer that I needed to measure. I used the Clairol product because that was what all the "professional" hair colorist in a hair salon would use back in the olden days. For whatever reason... this past year plus...I decided to try something new. I have fine & thin hair and was a bit afraid to try a new product. I ordered the "L'oreal Paris Excellence Creme 6A". It was so much easier to mix! But... the big reason that I am writing this review is because of the superior quality of this product. The application is easier... but the result of using this product was SO much better! My hair after application is so soft and smooth! The color is superior too! This L'oreal product has not faded like the Clairol product would over time. It is a huge improvement! L'oreal also includes a great conditioner and gloves and an easy step by step instruction page. A+++

I’ve used L’Oréal Excellence hair color a few times and really like it. It’s easy to apply at home, and the color comes out rich and even. My hair also feels soft afterward and doesn’t feel overly dry. The color lasts pretty well between touch-ups too. Definitely one of my go-to hair dyes

This hair dye delivers beautiful, rich color with excellent gray coverage. The formula is easy to apply, and the included conditioner leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and healthy after coloring. I was impressed that my hair didn't feel overly dry, and the color stayed vibrant for weeks without fading quickly. The hyaluronic acid formula seems to help keep my hair looking hydrated and shiny. Overall, it's an easy-to-use, salon-quality product at a great price

Before and after . I’m so happy with my results ! As you can see my hair had grays mainly in the front . This was my first time using box dye - I normally get it professionally done or my mom has her license so she gets the supplies for me ,however that wasn’t an option at this time so after the reviews I went with dark brown. It came out dark as you can see in the picture but it looks great and vibrant and covered everything perfectly . I am very happy with the results and I received many compliments edit : forgot to say I used two boxes 😬

I’ve colored my hair at home for YEARS, and considering how long I’ve been using this specific hair dye (for the last 10+ years) my review is a little late. BUT I have to say this is one of the few products I continue to come back to. Every time I use it, I’m reminded why it’s become my favorite. The instructions are easy to follow, everything I need is included in the box, and the results always leave me feeling like I just walked out of a salon. After not dying my hair for so long my hair starts to become greasy at the roots even though I wash my hair everyday, but after I use this my hair feels and looks brand new! What I love most is how evenly the color goes on. It completely covers my grays without looking flat or unnatural, and the shade turns out true to what’s shown on the box. My hair looks rich, shiny, and full of dimension instead of looking overprocessed or dull. I also appreciate that the formula feels much gentler than some other permanent dyes I’ve tried. It didn’t leave my scalp feeling irritated, and my hair actually felt soft and healthy after rinsing it out. The conditioner included in the kit is amazing—it left my hair feeling silky, smooth, and much easier to style. I found myself running my fingers through my hair because it felt so soft. Another thing that really impressed me was how well the color lasted. Even after several washes, it stayed vibrant and didn’t fade nearly as quickly as other brands I’ve used. My hair continued to look fresh, glossy, and healthy for weeks. For the price, I honestly don’t think you can beat the quality. It saves me the time and expense of going to a salon while still giving me beautiful, professional-looking results at home. I’ll definitely keep purchasing this hair dye, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable gray coverage, long-lasting color, and healthier-looking hair!!!

I’ve been using this one for years and when I try something new I come right back to this one. Easy to apply, doesn’t irritate my skin, coverage and longevity is great and the major plus is that it comes off of my skin easily. I hate how other brands stain your skin so badly and it’s hard to get off. Not a problem with this. I just wish they’d put the after dye shampoo they include in a big bottle. The elvives are nice but not the same thing! After I’m done using the shampoo and conditioner I don’t have to wash my hair for 3+ days! It stays so soft, silky and light, I love it.

Nice color... I’m a brunette whose favorite hair color is bimbo blonde 😁 I LOVE IT! The application process easy-peasy as well. Thank you L’Oreal. We’ve been friends for many years. 🙂

Super and unnecessarily expensive with poor results

美しいヘアダイ。

I ordered 4 boxes & they came late, i was disheartened, however when they came i was very surprised, it covered my copper hair dye and looks and feels great, no runs or mess in the bathroom and i only needed to use 2 boxes this time so coverage is great, i hated the smell while applying, but it soon go's when you wash and the shampoo an conditioner is very refreshing, my hair is glossy and healthy, my new go to hair dye for sure.

I haven’t used the product yet as it didn’t come with any gloves which was frustrating.

Great colour, great grey coverage and very easy to use.
