Rated 1 out of 5 by Craigc from Didn’t do much at all Old favorite but no longer. I have dark blonde hair. I bought light ash blonde 9a. It says it lightens up to 2 shades. But it did nothing but tone my hair to an ashy color. I did not lift at all! I used to use this product a couple years ago, I’m not sure if it changed. But I’m disappointed I put my hair through that for no reason.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tully22 from DIY Couldn't see my stylist because of the stay at home order, so I did it myself. It turned out well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DemureNinja from Covers gray, but color wasn't accurate I have mixed feeling about this product: Pros: - Covered my grays (though I didn't have too many) - Non-drippy formula made it easy to apply without being messy - Pre-treatment helped the ends of my hair not absorb too much color - Conditioner made my hair really soft Cons: - Color wasn't accurate (I used Light Ash Brown and got a medium reddish brown) I would recommend this product if the resulting color was more reliable. I had a hard time understanding whether a shade would lighten my hair or darken it--are some of these highlighting and some just color depositing? I don't hate the color I ended up with, but I did a strand test and didn't see the red/brass tone, but once I applied all over, my roots ended up quite red--surprising for a product with an ash tone that's supposed to counteract brassiness. Now I'm stuck figuring out what to use to tone the brass out of my roots, and hoping it won't look too crazy when it grows out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Flawless even coverage(even the greys) I'm about 15% grey and my ends had 2 year old grown out highlights. Followed the instructions exactly. 100% even coverage that is gorgeously soft and shiny. The serum has made it so you cant even tell it was dyed, it's so healthy feeling! Included a pic before and one after. Sorry I didnt get the same lighting, but I'm sure you see the results!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TammyIL from One and only!!!! When I first started dyeing my hair years ago I paid alot for a salon and it looked like my roots were already showing so I thought I'll do it myself. I feared the stories of what color it would turn out to be. But I used Loreal excellence creme 8 1/2 and it was easy to use, perfect color, and my natural highlights still showed up without grey!!!! Until this day I have never changed because it works and I love it!!!! I even tell my friends and family how easy it is and pray they never change. I always keep a few on hand just in case!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by doreen26 from Bring back Light Chestnut Brown! I have been using L'Oreal Excellence Creme for several years, and have used several shades. My most recent favorite was Light Chestnut Brown, but it has been discontinued. I'll be trying other shades of light brown, but would love to see Light Chestnut Brown return!

I used Feria Hi lift brown B61 and loved the different tones it gave my hair.  Unfortunately, I can't use it anymore because it got some purple hues in it last time from the gray.  In the Excellence what color is the closest to the B61?

I am 75 and my hair is grey/silver ,I quite like the colour apart from the front round my ears which is Snow White and I hate it.what do you suggest I can put on it.

My natural color is medium brown with reddish tones.  My hair is currently a dark warm blonde with lighter blonde highlights.  It tends toward the "brassy" side. What would happen if I put Light Brown (NOT warm or golden) over the current color?

With all salons closed my stylist I have to color my hair. I just have to color my roots that r 100% gray. My stylist told me to ask for gray coverage in level 7 neutral. My hair color is reddish blonde brown with hi lites

My hair turned red. Is that due to leaving on too long?

My hair is dark blonde. I decided to go with the Medium Golden Blonde. It came out pretty red. Should I have left it on longer or shorter time perhaps? Please advise what I can do to fix. Thank you!

I use Schwarzkopf cinnamon brown right now. Is there a comparable L’Oreal color?

I want to try to color my own hair since all salons are closed due to Covid 19. My natural color is medium to dark blonde with some gray. My current hair color is light blonde with some bleach hi lights. What color would I use of your products?
