Gentle and effective for all hair types, including stubborn grays, or dry strands, L'Oréal Excellence hair dye offers vibrant and radiant color with an added Hyaluronic Acid-infused conditioning and protecting treatment.
WHEN TO USE

Apply Excellence Crème whenever visible gray hairs begin to show, typically every 4–8 weeks, or before important events when your hair needs to look fresh and vibrant. Perfect for maintaining consistent color.

Pro Tip: Need to instantly cover your roots between coloring? Try L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up for quick touch-ups that last until your next shampoo.
HOW TO USE

Step 1: Divide hair into sections.

Step 2: Wearing gloves, mix the creme formula into the developer in the applicator bottle provided. Shake well until thoroughly blended.

Step 3: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting with the roots and use the comb tip applicator to evenly coat hair from root to tip.

Step 4: Leave the product on your hair for the recommended duration, about 30 minutes, following the instructions for your specific shade and needs.

Step 5: Rinse hair and apply the included Caring Shampoo to cleanse and after-color Nourishing Conditioner for softness and shine.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR COLOR

  • Choose a shade no more than two levels lighter or darker than your current hair color for a natural look.
  • For stubborn grays, select shades labeled as "natural" for optimal coverage.
  • Use the L’Oréal Paris Virtual Hair Color Try-On Tool to experiment with different shades and find one that works best with your complexion.
INGREDIENTS

Hyaluronic Acid
What it does: Hyaluronic Acid is a potent hydration-attracting molecule, naturally present in the body, with the power to retain significantly more than its weight in water.
Why it matters: Our Hyaluronic Acid-infused hair coloring system works to seal the hair cuticles down with 3X more moisture* for smoother, conditioned hair and long-lasting color (*versus untreated damaged hair).

I loved my natural hair color and never wanted to color it, but with age comes gray hair... No one knew I was getting grays, but I could spot every single one and they bugged me so much. Every time I'd part my hair differently, one would pop up and I would have to pull it out. That went on for years and I kept getting more. At a glance, it still looked like I had none, but pulling them out wasn't working for me anymore. I couldn't get them all! Then, I finally made the decision to color my hair :( I did a lot of research to find the best product that I could use at home and found this. I am so happy with the results! I searched for all my grays when I was finished and couldn't find a single one! The color is just like my natural color and my hair is so soft. I really should have used this sooner! But you have to read the instructions carefully! The tubes are numbered, but they don't match the order on the instructions. I'm glad I took the time to read everything. If L'oreal could change that, it would be perfect!

I was very disappointed in this product. My hair turned out much darker than box. I did not hate it. However, after the first time I washed it-the color faded a lot. It continued to fade each time I shampooed. I do not over wash my hair and I use color safe shampoo. I will not use again.

Easy to use

Easy to use hair color without a chemical scent. It came in an easy to open package. As for how long the color will last, that's still open for debate

Yes, I recommend this product.

Best results on lighter hair colors.

3 days ago
I like this product generally. I have very dark Auburn hair naturally and had hoped it would lighten my hair more than it did. It did not dry my hair out, and the application was easy and the directions step-by-step were easy to follow. It did not stain my hands at all when rinsing and after application did not drip. I think maybe a gradual approach when lightening darker hair colors would be more effective. I liked the product and would recommend it highly for lighter natural hair color for best results.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Covers grays

3 days ago
This hair dye worked great at covering up my grays and the applicator made it quick and easy to do. I also like that it came with shampoo and conditioner. The only this is that the scent is a bit strong, but overall a great hair dye.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Natural grey coverage

This is so close to my natural color but better. This covers and blends away my gray hair. It brightens up my natural hair color while keeping it looking natural. My hair feels soft and healthy.

100% Gray Coverage, Beautiful Shine and Gentle on my Scalp

4 days ago
I’m really happy with the results of L’Oreal Excellence Crème! I used the color 3- Natural Black and it gave me 100% gray coverage and a beautiful, rich, even color. My hair looks shiny and feels soft and conditioned. Another thing I really appreciated is that it didn’t irritate or dry my scalp at all, which I’ve experienced with other brands. I aslo loved that the kit includes both shampoo and conditioner which was a really nice addition and left my hair feeling even softer. I would definitely recommend it and would absolutely repurchase it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Colors Grey Hair!

4 days ago
I have been coloring my hair for the last 30 years. The only hair color that I use is L’Oreal Paris. I received a complimentary box of L’Oreal Paris Excellence Crème from Influenster. If you have gray hair that you would like to hide then this is for you. It comes with a developer, color cream, shampoo, and conditioner. It is simple to apply. I used a thin comb to part my hair into 1/4 sections so I could apply the creme to my grey roots. Then I applied the color to the rest of my hair with my hands and a comb. Afterwards, I loosely piled my hair on top of head and set the timer 30 mins. What’s the time was up? I rinsed my hair with water then I applied the shampoo. I left the conditioner on for about three minutes before rinsing it out. My hair color came out exactly as shown on the box. #Complimentary @lorealparis #LorealParisHairColor @influenster #Influenster @reesetisha #Reesetishas2cents

I loved my natural hair color and never wanted to color it, but with age comes gray hair... No one knew I was getting grays, but I could spot every single one and they bugged me so much. Every time I'd part my hair differently, one would pop up and I would have to pull it out. That went on for years and I kept getting more. At a glance, it still looked like I had none, but pulling them out wasn't working for me anymore. I couldn't get them all! Then, I finally made the decision to color my hair :( I did a lot of research to find the best product that I could use at home and found this. I am so happy with the results! I searched for all my grays when I was finished and couldn't find a single one! The color is just like my natural color and my hair is so soft. I really should have used this sooner! But you have to read the instructions carefully! The tubes are numbered, but they don't match the order on the instructions. I'm glad I took the time to read everything. If L'oreal could change that, it would be perfect!

I was very disappointed in this product. My hair turned out much darker than box. I did not hate it. However, after the first time I washed it-the color faded a lot. It continued to fade each time I shampooed. I do not over wash my hair and I use color safe shampoo. I will not use again.

Amazing results!

4 days ago
I bleached my hair because my base was red and needed a clean start. I love the results I got! The application was simple to use, the smell is great and doesn’t leave hair dried out. I did leave the conditioner it comes with for 15 minutes and it left my hair soft and silky. I get so many compliments and results look like salon quality.

Superb product for an at home kit!

4 days ago
I received this L’Oréal Excellence Crème hair color in Medium Blonde in exchange for my honest opinion. The shade is a little darker than my usual color but I have a significant amount of gray that lightens the color also. My grays are pretty stubborn but this color seemed to cover it exceptionally well! The smell is light and the cream is thick which helps to avoid runs and spills during application! The kit includes a small shampoo and large tube of conditioner. My hair felt soft afterwards and was easy to comb and style. Overall, an excellent product for a box kit!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Salon results for under 15$ yes please!!!!

Ok this is the best home color I have used. See the before and after pics. I did my roots only and the blend is perfect!! It does not have a strong smell like the old ones used to have. I color my roots every 4 weeks because my hair grows so fast and this has been a game changer. It also comes with a shampoo and deep conditioner so my hair is softer than before I colored!!! If I could give it more stars I would!!

Best Hair Dye Available in the World

7 days ago
I was excited to try this brand and it didn’t disappoint. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The fragrance from the chemicals weren’t overwhelming and mixed well after a few shakes. I liked they added a dye distributor so I could ensure to get areas I may have missed. The shampoo and conditioner had a very pleasant scent as well. The dye washed out easily and didn’t leave any lingering residue. The final result was amazing! My hair didn’t feel hard and I didn’t have any dye spots on my hairline area! I’d definitely recommend!!!

Covers Greys, Tiny Shampoo???

7 days ago
This is an updated version of their Excellence Creme that comes with a brush attachment new formulation. The gloves are really well made in this one and didn't break. The directions were easy to understand and I like the new locking feature on the dye color. I feel like it also doesn't have as strong an odor as it did before. It covers greys really well and it doesn't take much to do it. I had to take off one star because for some reason, the shampoo is TINY. A little goes a long way, but there's no reason for shrinkflation to affect how much shampoo I get. You're going to need your own in order to use this kit.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Salon rich color and softness in a box!

7 days ago
I get terrible grays around my face, especially at my temples. This box dye came with the perfect tool to hit those spots close to the scalp fully and perfectly! Light ash brown matched my color perfectly! I love that there is not only the deep conditioning treatment but also the after color shampoo, that cleaned off all excess residue and left my hair soft and ready to absorb the intensive conditioner included. All with really great scents that left my hair smelling great ! My hair feels significantly healthier and I can cover those pesky greys with this beautiful soft rich color, without having to spend a fortune on a salon. And no one else will know!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Less Mess

7 days ago
This newer Loreal Excellence Creme now contains HA, which makes the creme formula a little thinner, so it spreads more easily, giving you more product to cover your head. Although the formula is thinner, it's still thick enough that it doesn't make a mess. Kit comes with the standard & root comb applicators, a shampoo & conditioner. The conditioner is amazing-as always. The shampoo smells divine & get the hair squeaky clean without removing dye. Wish they would sell this shampoo in stores! Covers greys very well. Not sure what the HA is doing cause I don't notice more nor less damage with it added. Because the creme isn't as thick as the other formula, 1 box is enough for short-medium hair length if its not thick.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Hair Felt Healthier After Using

8 days ago
Traditional box dies can sometimes irritate my scalp but the L'Oreal Paris Excellence Cream's new triple care color routine infused with hydraulic acid is a game changer. They say it delivers 100% gray coverage while protecting and hydrating the hair. The three-step routine has a protective coloring cream with a pro-keratine complex to protect and nourish hair as it colors. The provided shampoo has a mild pH formula infused with hydraulic acid to gently cleanse the scalp and hair of excess residue right after rinsing. The deep conditioning mask is infused with hydraulic acid to seal the hair cuticles which is supposed to lock in 3x more moisture for smooth, radiant, long lasting color. My results: I was letting my gray grow out but I didn't like the look. I have a good amount of gray and it did cover all of it The color is beautiful. I'm normally very dark at a 3 NN but I wanted to go lighter so I opted for a five medium brown and it turned out beautiful. It was gentle on my scalp which I very much appreciated. It's a cream but not like the thick creams that barely mix with the developer. This is an ideal consistency to easily mix and apply, but thick enough that you don't get drips. I love the comb applicator. It's similar to a wide tooth comb and slid through my thick hair smoothly, making sure I easily covered all the strands. This product is easy to use and it left my hair feeling healthier than it did before I dyed it. I highly recommend it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

💈❤️Works Great-Buy 2 Boxes if Your Hair is Longer❤️💈

8 days ago
So just to start off I want to say that I have very dark hair so it is very hard for a box die to make a huge impact. However, I can’t say it most definitely covered all the grays as I’m starting to notice more and more sadly. I would also like to know that it does sound on the back. If you have long hair, they recommend using two kits, and it’s not their fault, but I do have very long hair that is way beyond the middle of my back, so I also didn’t have enough of the product to thoroughly really saturate every strand. The smell is not at all overbearing and honestly was a huge improvement from some I’ve used before where I couldn’t breathe because of the chemical smell. I give this a solid four out of five and I would definitely recommend this product and I would purchase it as well! 

Yes, I recommend this product.

Easy application and color performance is top notch!

8 days ago
I have black hair and wanted to see if it would cover up my “glitter” and what color it would come out! I usually purchase the black in L’Oréal, but I want to go lighter!! The smell isn’t super strong like other brands. The application is easy. Half my head I used Vaseline around my hairline and the other half I left bare. The color came off super easy on the half that was bare! The shampoo and conditioner is smells soooo good!! If I could buy an entire bottle of the conditioner itself I would. Now, the color didn’t penetrate through the black, but where my “glitter” was showing through it did show a lighter color. I’m going to purchase this every 3 weeks and do my roots until I can become a lighter brown (natural color).

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent Gray coverage!

I have loved using this hair dye as it truly covered my grays! I have a medium to dark brown hair, so any gray or white comes through very easily. Often times I have a warm or brassy color after dying my hair, but not with this kit! I love the medium brown color that it gave me! The instructions were easy to follow, and it came with gloves and everything you need for the full treatment. My hair looks healthy and shiny, and the color has lasted! I would highly recommend!

Beautiful color and silky shine

9 days ago
The L'Oreal Excellence Creme Permanent Triple Protection Hair Dye in Dark Brown number 4 was the perfect shade for my hair. I normally have chestnut brown hair and now that I have grays, I look to blend them in with my natural color hair. When I do this I can stretch out dying my hair because this blends in so well. The scent of the dye was pleasant and not too overpowering and there was no residue left on my scalp and face like other brands have left on my skin. I did not have to rub off any staining which was wonderful. It was easy to follow the directions, the hair dye needed to stay on my hair for 30 minutes. After rinsing out my hair, I used the recommended shampoo that was given in the box as well as the conditioner. My hair felt so soft and silky after washing my hair. It felt healthier after dying my hair than before. I will definitely use this product again and continue to use it now as a root touch up throughout the next few months. The best part of this hair dye was the thickness of the dye prevented the dye from splattering all over the place and making a mess. This was the easiest hair dye I have ever used.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great coverage for stubborn grays.

9 days ago
I have very hard to color, stubborn gray hair, especially along my hairline. This product did a great job of covering those grays with one try. The product was easy to apply and didn’t have that harsh chemical smell. It didn’t irritate my scalp and the color looked very natural. The color looked multidimensional and my natural auburn highlights were still noticeable.

Yes, I recommend this product.

      Hi Anjelica! Thank you for your interest in Excellence Creme,8RB-Medium Reddish Blonde. When applying this shade, it is important to note that the underlying tone of your hair can influence the final result. Since your hair is currently medium brown, the reddish undertones of the 8RB shade may become more pronounced, potentially resulting in an orange hue, particularly if your hair is porous or has not been dyed for an extended period.

      Hi YCS2026! Thank you for your interest in Excellence Creme. Gray hair is sometimes resistant to color. For best coverage, begin your application on the grayest areas and leave the product on your gray hair longer, up to 40 minutes as suggested in the instructions.. If you have tried the extended timing and still need better gray coverage, we suggest using one shade darker to compensate for the lack of pigment in your hair.

      Hi KRST! We are sorry to hear that #6-Light Brown is too dark for your hair type. We recommend shampooing frequently, with any regular shampoo to fade the color. In 4 - 6 weeks, when you have enough new growth, choose a lighter shade and follow the instructions for a root touch-up application. There will be no need to do a full head application, because the hair will have lightened if you have been shampooing frequently. So just the new growth will need the lighter shade, in order to blend with the hair that has lightened over time.

    What is the equivalent to the 7G medium golden brown? I usually mix half 7G with half 8G to color my naturally Auburn hair.

      Hi Lele, Thank for reaching out! Excellence Creme #7 Dark Blonde is the closet shade to #7G Dark Golden Blonde. It is the same level of color. We thank you for your interest in L'Oréal!

    Does the dye have a printed expiration date on the product? If so, where is it located?

      Hi there!
      In the US, expiration dates are only required on OTC products, if the shelf life is less than 3 years. The L'Oréal Paris hair color has a shelf-life of at least 3 years so there will be no expiration date on the box.
      If a product contains an expiration date, it is predicted that the product’s stability may not last 3 years and the product should be used by the date indicated on the package.

      Thank you for your interest in L'Oréal Paris products!
