    Strong Alcohol Smell, Rough Application, Poor Gray Coverage - A 'No' for Thick Asian Hair.

    I had high hopes for L'Oréal Preference, but unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. The smell alone was enough to put me off—it reeked strongly of rubbing alcohol, making the application process very unpleasant. The formula also felt incredibly rough on my thick Asian hair; it was difficult to work through and felt harsh. Most importantly, after leaving it on for the full 30 minutes as instructed, it completely failed to cover all of my gray hairs. It's a definite NO for me, and I wouldn't recommend it, especially for anyone with thick hair or significant gray coverage needs.

    5A gave me hot roots.

    I got 5A and it turned my brown roots orange. Listen to the other reviews. Wasted money on two boxes. Supposed to help with “brassiness” and ended up creating brass. Hot roots. Do not recommend.

    Not good!

    I always color my hair dark ash brown. My usual L’Oréal formula was gone so I didn’t think this L’Oréal formula would be a whole lot different. I was so wrong. This particular ASH color is leaving a red tone. Ash usually removes red undertones. I’m so disappointed. I’m not sure if the box had the wrong color in it or what, I just know I won’t buy it again

    Not great pick something else

    Really disappointed in this box dye probably the worst I’ve used. First it smells terrible and really strong. Second it made my roots a redish color and third the coverage doesn’t last it’s only been two weeks and it’s super faded already. I’d save your money and go with a different brand.

    New formula is terrible

    I've used this dye monthly for many years. I stocked up my supply and recently realized they've changed the formula. The old formula made my hair heavenly soft, but after using the new formula, my hair is dry and unruly. I can barely comb through it and I have to use so much conditioner and leave in detangler that my hair requires more frequent washing, which fades the color faster. I'm researching other hair color brands now because I can't continue to use this L'Oreal product. It's a shame, as the old formula was fantastic and the color was amazing for me.

    Nice floral smell, but coverage left a lot to be d

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best thing about this product was that it didn’t have the harsh ammonia smell like other dyes. However, the grey coverage was not great and the color faded after a week. I wouldn’t buy this again.

    Hi schmamy324_2305. Thank you for reaching out to L'Oreal and sharing your comments on the Preference Hair Color. Feedback from our consumers is very important to us and helps us improve all of our products! We appreciate you sharing your experience. We thank you for giving this product a try as we will be passing on your comments to others in our team. Since your color faded so quickly it is safe to re-color 48 hours after your last application if your hair feels healthy. We recommend trying our Excellence Creme #5 instead. We hope you continue using our products!

    Aaaaaamazing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked the wrong shade, therefore did not personally use this product, but I did give assistance using it on a friend. The mixing phase was very simple, it created the perfect creamy texture. It was very easy to apply, there was no runny mix, it enveloped every strand perfectly. It was way easier to rinse out than a lot of hair dyes I've used, didn't take forever. When all was said and done the color looked amazing on my friend. Over time there was very little fading, the color lasted longer than I expected. After using this on my friend, I had to go get my own box of the shade that works best for me. I 100% recommend.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply! Great at covering roots. The product had a low odor and the ending color had a good shine. The products color faded somewhat quickly however.

    Color didn't last

    I love the color but it within three days, the gray showed through. It's now been three weeks and I need to color my hair again. I usually use Excellence Creme my color was sold out so I decided to try Preference. I'm going to stick with Excellence Creme. It usually lasts six weeks.

    Hi Marianne! Thank you for contacting L'OREAL PARIS. We are sorry you did not receive the color results you were expecting from the Superior Preference. While Preference can cover gray, our recommended hair color for coverage on resistant, hard-to-cover gray hair is our Excellence Creme. We suggest that you try Excellence to get a better longevity of your color result!

    Was hesitant to try this colour but the pigment turned out great and it has such a rich depth, I love it! However, the smell was really intense and it was difficult to apply the formula because my eyes stung so bad.

    Average

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the L’Oreal Paris Preference Permanent hair color. The results were great when I first colored it but soon after the color faded fast from the sun and my hair had a lot of red and orange hues which I did not care for. The color did not hold for long. The process was easy and straight forward but hoping for better results.

    1 reply from L'OrealParisProductExpert team - 25 days ago
    Hello Bad! We are truly sorry to hear that the Superior Preference Permanent Hair Color did not meet your expectations for a brown shade and that you found the result to be reddish. Achieving the perfect hair color can sometimes be influenced by an individual's natural hair undertones, as well as any previous color applications, which can affect the final shade. We also understand your concern about the product feeling strong; our Preference formulas are designed for long-lasting color, and we always recommend following the instructions carefully to ensure the best possible experience and result.

    Hello Kiki! We are sorry to hear that the Superior Preference Fade-Defying Color + Shine System did not provide 100% gray coverage for you. We understand how important it is to achieve full gray coverage, and we regret that your experience did not meet this expectation. Gray hair can sometimes be more resistant to color absorption due to its unique structure, and achieving complete coverage can vary depending on individual hair type and the percentage of gray hair. Our Superior Preference formula is designed to deliver fade-defying color and luminous shine, aiming to provide excellent coverage; however, results can occasionally differ. We appreciate you sharing your valuable feedback with us.

    Brassy not Ash

    This is not an ash brown, my hair is basically orange.

    Hello Shan99! We are truly sorry to hear that the Superior Preference Fade-Defying Color + Shine System in 6A Light Ash Brown did not deliver the ash brown result you were expecting, and instead left your hair with an orange tone. We understand how disappointing it is when a hair color doesn't turn out as anticipated. Hair color results can sometimes be influenced by a variety of factors, including your hair's unique underlying pigments, its current condition, and any previous color treatments. Achieving a cool, ash tone often requires careful consideration of these elements to neutralize unwanted warmth. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as your feedback is valuable to us.
