What is the difference between L’Oreal Preference and L’Oreal Excellence haircolor?
Preference and Excellence are both permanent hair colors. Excellence is a crème color that provides 100% gray coverage. Preference is a liquid gel color that provides fade-defying, luminous color for up to 8 weeks. For multi-dimensional, salon-inspired results, we recommend using Preference. To cover resistant grays, we recommend using Excellence.

Which L’Oreal Excellence shade should I choose?
There is a shade guide included on the side of each pack to show the color results depending on your starting hair color. Color result may vary depending on your starting hair color and condition.

Packaging may vary, what you see may not be reflected on site.

Q: Hi Been using 8 M Blond for years. Underlying color probably now mostly white. 8 is great at first, but fades quickly to yellowish. Would 7.5A help? Possible to go back to 8 right away if too dark?

submitted by grandma j - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello Grandma J, we recommend the color 8.5A Champagne Blonde to prevent harsh yellow tones in your hair. For all your future beauty questions, get real-time answers using the “Chat with a Virtual Beauty Consultant” button, found on every product page! :)

    Brand expert
  • A: Hi there! If the new growth is mostly white, any color with an ‘ash’ tone will likely look very dull. You have the right idea, do the next touch up with a slightly darker color, however, your best option going darker is to use the dark blonde 7 or dark golden blonde 7G. Once you go darker, you won’t be able to lighten the color using another dye. To be sure the results are not too dark, stick to the Touch Up application and timing. Do the roots for the full 30 minutes but the previously dyed hair should only get the dye mix for the last 10 minutes of your timing.

Q: I have been using 4AR, can I switch to 5AR without the risk of lighter roots? My hair is naturally very dark with about 20% gray mixed in.

submitted by Ashwells84 - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi Ashwells84, we get that you want to start going slightly lighter… Unfortunately, dyed hair is much harder to lighten than natural hair. No hair dye is strong enough to lighten dyed hair. Can you switch, definitely! But your roots will be slightly lighter. Your best option is to color just the new growth for now and let the rest of the hair dyed with the 4AR fade on its own over time to better blend with the lighter color at the roots.

KB - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
Don't get me wrong, I love this product and I've been using it for years. It actually improves the condition of my hair. My problem is that the last box I received had been opened and someone had used part of the kit. They put the empty tube back in the box, taped it up and returned it! Who does that?? Sadly, this also feeds my suspicion that Target unloads its products with tattered, damaged packaging on unsuspecting drive-up customers.

I got the auburn red color, and considering I already have light brown hair, there would be no issue reaching the color. I followed the directions to a T, and I ended up with a brown color with a little red at the roots. Very disappointed. The color was not even close to what it showed on the box

Happy with the color treatment, but I feel that your conditioner has changed, and I am super unhappy as that it's taken me 2 times of dying hair to realize that it doesn't deep condition any more hair is breaking and dry bummer I've used this product a very long time and am now considering stopping coloring my hair.

Tried growing out color, had alot of gray. although I liked the softness and texture , it wasn't growing out evenly. I hesitated to color, afraid it would dry out my thinning hair. Took a chance with this new excellence and I am so happy I did. So easy to use and the result was amazing. Thank you Loreal, I can now color with confidence.

I have used this product for years to cover my gray hair. Great coverage. Close to natural color. I love the new shampoo they included. Smells so nice.

From a first time self hair coloring gal, I have to say this product is the BOMB!!! I moved several states away from where my salon is and was nervous about going somewhere to get color (my hair is blonde red). I had been talking to another similarly colored hair gal at a restaurant and asked her where she got her hair done. She told me she used this product so I decided to give it a try. I’m impressed!!!!! My hair color is exact, very natural and doesn’t look colored! Wow! Where has this been all my coloring life???? Would have saved me a lot of time and salon hassle in the past!

Tea18 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using box dye on my hair for years every so often. I always stick to similar shades of brown. This was my first time using this specific L’Oréal Box Dye and I will NEVER use it again. After washing my hair with the shampoo and conditioner provided, CLUMPS of my hair fell out. It was horrifying and I have never experienced this before. I’m too embarrassed to post photos but it was bad. Stay far away!
