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 - 2 years ago
  • 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 - 3 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.

submitted by old town - 7 months ago

Summary of reviews

This hair color product has received mixed feedback, with guests appreciating the softness and shine it imparts to hair, but expressing disappointment in the color accuracy, gray coverage, and quality of the conditioner packaging. While some guests found the color to be darker than expected or not true to the shade, others were satisfied with the coverage and the inclusion of a shampoo. The conditioner tube's tendency to split has been a common concern, leading to product waste and frustration.

Did not cover gray hair :( I used 6A light ash brown and followed the directions exactly. It is also darker than the photo and color result swatches (my hair was dark blond now it’s dark brown - with grays ugh.) I gave it one star because it came with shampoo, conditioner and lotion.

I have used L’Oréal excellence #8 medium blonde for over 25 years. I only do the roots. The last 2 times I used it, there was barely enough product to finish all my roots. The box reads new and improved, however less was not listed. Very disappointed with the “upgrade”.

Good dye with decent coverage (2+ boxes rec)

I used the shade, "Dark Ash Brown 4a", the color comes out looking almost black at first glance, washing your hair very thoroughly helps a ton. If you have thick and/or long hair, I heavily recommend buying 2+ boxes. My box dye came out splotchy because I didn't have enough product. Overall a good dye.

The brown shades don't last. They all turn to a red/copper color after a few washes. Can you tell me why this happens? I've tried warm tones and ash tones. I don't want orange hair.
1 reply from L'Oreal Paris team - 27 days ago
Hi there Noredhairforme! Thank you for reaching out with your haircoloring concerns. Ash is the tone that minimizes red in the hair. Warm shades brings out the red tones. For color consultation, please call our 800 number on the box so that we can get a better understanding of your needs, and assist with your shade selection!

Great Dye but consistent breaking of Condit.Tube

The quality of the dye is great. What is seriously lacking in quality recently is the tube of conditioner. Not the conditioner itself, but the quality of the tube. It consistently breaks open due to the poor quality of the seam.I thought it was an isolated incident, but it isn't . I have bought several packages now and everyone has the poorly constructed tube of conditioner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the shade 6A and I have dark brown hair with some greys. After meticulously applying the color for an hour and letting it sit for another hour, my dark brown hair caught the color but my grey hair is still the same and very much visible. This product says 100% coverage for greys but none of my greys have been covered. Very disappointed.

Hi Cookie, We are sorry you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with our haircolor.

I am another who has been happily using this product (8.5 A) for years and this is the first I found myself questioning whether I would purchase it again. Today for the first time ever I ran out of product to do a roots only application - have you reduced the amount of product provided for your ever increasing price??? I am also finding it is not doing a great job of covering my grays/whites anymore, but have been excusing that as a fact of life as I age; however in reading other comments perhaps it is the current formulation. I too will join the chorus of voices stating how terrible the conditioner packaging is now - splits every time after a couple of weeks at the most. Overall I'm really disappointed in what used to be a really great product.

I didn’t realize I ordered Excellence, as I usually get Preference. The light brown worked well to cover my grays and gave me a shade a bit darker than usual but I’m very pleased with the color. I also liked the pleasant scent. Noticed it didn’t dry out my hair, either. I’ll be switching to this product from now on.
