HOW TO USE

Using Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color is simple and allows you to achieve vibrant, salon-quality hair color at home. Follow the step-by-step instructions below for a first-time application or a root touch-up, depending on your specific needs. Always refer to the package insert for complete instructions specific to your selected shade.

How to Use L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference for First-Time Application
  • Step 1: Apply All Over.
    Start with dry, unwashed hair. Apply the prepared permanent hair color mixture at your roots and work it through to the ends of your hair, ensuring all strands are completely saturated.
  • Step 2: Develop.
    Let the color mixture develop on your hair for 25 minutes.
  • Step 3: Rinse.
    Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
  • Step 4: Condition.
    Apply the included Color & Shine Conditioner generously to fully saturate your hair. Leave it on for 2–3 minutes to lock in color, hydrate hair, and add shine. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
How to Touch Up Roots with Superior Preference

Step 1: Touch Up Root Area.
Using the applicator tip, create ¼” partings through dry, unwashed hair. Apply the permanent hair color mixture to the new growth at the roots, ensuring that all new growth is completely saturated. Leave the color on the root area for 20 minutes.
  • Pro Tip:For resistant gray hairs, leave the mixture on your roots for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 2: Refresh the Rest of Your Hair.
Apply the remaining hair color mixture to the lengths and ends of your hair to refresh previously colored strands. Let it develop for 5 minutes. The total application time is 25 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse.
Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs completely clear.

Step 4: Condition.
Apply the included Color & Shine Conditioner generously to your hair, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Leave it on for 2–3 minutes to hydrate and lock in vibrancy. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Pro Tip: Want to further extend hair color and protect shine? Use the new Superior Preference Ultra Care Conditioner weekly to keep your color vibrant and your hair soft and deeply nourished between coloring sessions.
INGREDIENTS

I usually use "professional" color from Sally's but tried 7-1/2A when I was away on vacation and wanted to apply lowlights to my platinum hair. I was VERY pleased! The scent is gentle compared to my old brand & even though I shampooed after processing (hotel towels), the color was exactly like on the front of the box and has lasted beautifully for three weeks now without fading. Best of all the ash is solid - no brassiness whatsoever (unlike what I was using before). Great hair color!!

Great at home hair color

This L'oreal Hair Color Dark Brown is easy to use. The set comes with everything needed. It covered up the grays I had & freshened up my hair color without drying it out. The conditioner it comes with smells really good & topped it off making my hair feel soft.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Loreal Paris Superior Preference Rich Luminous Fade Defying Color

6 days ago
Loreal Paris Superior Preference hair color in shade 2 Natural Black is such a beautiful color. The hair color is more a gel like texture so it didn't really drip every where which is awesome! It covered my white hairs so well. I barely got any on my skin which other products usually do but this Loreal one did not. It was super easy rinsing the product out. And the conditioner made my hair so soft after. This is my new favorite hair dye!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great coverage and beautiful color refresh!

7 days ago
I purposely chose a lighter blonde shade because I wanted to lighten my hair and freshen up my color without going completely blonde. I’m really happy with how it turned out! One thing I really like about this dye it’s how nicely it lathers, making it easy to work through my hair. It also didn’t leave my hair feeling dry which is a huge plus. The coverage was great I like how it gave my hair a lighter, refreshed look while still keeping some warmth. Overall I’m really pleased with the results.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great color match!

The color is natural and my hair feels soft and has a beautiful overall tone. It is easy to apply & the cleanup is fast. This gives me the same results as going to a salon for a fraction of the price.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Loved it

7 days ago
I loved how easy it was to set up the color and do my hair for myself. The process was simple and the instructions were very clear. The mixture didn't smell badly like some dyed do. I was able to get the desired colour I wanted and washing off was also simple. Using the conditioner packet left my hair super soft.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I love L’oréal: It left my hair soft and shiny with a beautiful result 💕

8 days ago
I love using L’oréal hair dye. The application was simple and the color turned out even with a natural finish. The best part and what I like the most is that after washing my hair ; it felt súper soft and shiny. I was very satisfied with the result; the color looked vibrant without making my hair feel weighed down. The color felt comportable in my scalp with No irritation during the application. Also when I apply the conditioner the scent of the hair at the end is really lovely.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I have used L’Oreal for years and shade 9 natural blonde, never disappoints.

The color stays reach and radiant for weeks without fading. Highly recommend!

Shiny hair after use.

9 days ago
The product is really good for covering gray and I love how shiny my hair is after use. The only downside is the ammonia. It made my eyes water while applying and while rinsing my hair. Other than that I’ll recommend this. The conditioner smells really good. I put it on the roots first and then all over my hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I am really impressed with the Loreal Superior Preference Permanent Hair Color. The instructions were easy to follow, making the application process straightforward from start to finish. It gave excellent root/gray coverage and blended seamlessly. During development, the gel formula stayed in place without dripping and it rinsed out cleanly. The included conditioner is fantastic it left my hair feeling so soft, silky and healthy with a gorgeous shine that lasted for weeks. Super reliable hair dye!

Prefer L’oreal Excellence

13 days ago
The L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference hair dye is okay but i prefer the L’oreal Excellence hair dye to this one. The first thing I noticed is that there was no comb attachment and no shampoo included. I do prefer the gloves in this packaging as well as the size of the product because I believe it is larger in size. I did not like the fact that this product was stinging almost the whole time that the dye sat in my hair. Also when I washed the dye out my hair felt like hay and I had to put most of the provided conditioner into it. I didn’t mind this product but will be going back to the L’oreal Excellence hair dye.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I love L'Oreal Paris Preference hair color in Medium Ash Blonde. My hair always looks great after using this brand, and it's super easy to prepare with zero spillage while coloring. The conditioner is amazing and leaves my hair feeling so soft. I especially love how the ash tones down my hair color. Oh and bye bye grays. I will definitely use this color and brand again.

I tried the L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference hair color in medium brown 5, and I love how it leaves my hair looking rich, shiny, and natural.

L'Oreal hair dye

I would highly recommend the L'Oreal Paris Superior preference hair dye! This dye was quick and easy to use. You apply it to your dry hair and then wait 25 minutes to rinse out and then condition for 2 minutes. The guy did an amazing job and covering and I still had extra left over in the bottle. I also loved how this guy did not stain your countertop or tub when rinsing out and applying. I highly will recommend this product and I will be purchasing this product in the future

Fast Coloring

Typical hair coloring system with a slight twist. The fumes is strong via I was longing in the mirror to make sure I got all areas and the strong fumes from the dye burned my eyes slightly. Upon, me opening #2 bottle to add to #1, I caught the smell and boy was it strong. With shaking it was for sure dripping via not creamy while I was applying it to my hair. The instructions were easy. My hair changed colors w/in 15 mins.

Yes, I recommend this product.

      Hi Mimi, We apologize you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with . We know how disappointing it can be to look forward to a new application of color only to find that your results are not what you expected.

      There are many reasons why haircolor results can come out too dark. Once you have color-treated hair, we suggest following the touch up application method to achieve optimal results. Otherwise, by doing repeat full head applications, due to the hair's porosity, you are left with a haircolor result that is much darker than what you intended. Shampoo with a clarifying shampoo to fade the color.

      If you have any additional questions or would like to speak with one of our haircolor experts directly, please reach back out!
