Why Choose Excellence Crème Permanent Hair Color?
This permanent hair dye is designed to deliver 100% gray coverage and vibrant, long-lasting color with a triple-care routine that protects hair at every step of the coloring process. The formula, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, hydrates and nourishes your hair, leaving behind soft, smooth, and radiant tresses.

WHO SHOULD USE IT

This creme hair color is perfect for individuals seeking 100% gray coverage with long-lasting results at home. 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).

    When did ash mean red?

    9 days ago
    I'm trying to understand why Light Ash Brown turned my gray and light brown hair red. The product was easy to use, and my hair feels nice after using but I chose Ash to not have any reds.
    Would you purchase this again:No

    Hi there freshcreek, we completely understand how frustrating that is! When you specifically choose an ash shade to neutralize warmth, seeing unexpected red or warm tones is definitely a disappointment. We're so glad to hear the application was easy and your hair feels nice and conditioned, but we want to understand what happened as much as you do. It sounds like your natural hair color is not that dark, so this color should have been the perfect choice. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-631-7358 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

    Not good

    Very disappointed. Did nothing to cover any of my gray hair. Says 100% coverage but it barely lightened my hair and all the grays were very much there. My hair looks exactly the same as before I colored it.

    My hair looks great!

    a month ago
    First time using this product. I liked it! Easy to mix, easy to apply. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough with my long hair but there was plenty. I like the shampoo & conditioner included. Best of all, my hair looks great! Shiny, smooth, perfect coverage especially of my grey, and variations in how the color picked up makes it look very natural! I’ll continue to use this brand and color!

    Love the product / why discontinue a color?

    I LOVED the shade 5CG-it was perfect for me! It's really disappointing that it seems to be discontinued. Otherwise, this is a great product - love the gray coverage/love the conditioner.

        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.

      I just used 6 light brown and not really liking how dark it made my hair . It is more of a dark brown than light. How soon can I safely recolor my hair with a lighter color?

        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.

      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!
