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: will the shade 4 dark brown look black if my natural hair is medium brown
A: Great question, Haylee! A shade 4 dark brown hair dye will likely give medium brown hair a noticeable, but not drastic, darkening effect. The hair will appear richer and deeper, with a more intense brown tone, but results will vary individually.

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?
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: 10 weeks ago I used 7 Dark Blonde (natural light/medium brown less than 25% grey). It looked great and grey coverage was amazing. Now it is turning orangish/brassy and not good grey coverage. Is 7 a good fit or is there a different recommendation?

Q: Is this product gluten free?
A: Hi there, Kathy! Most ingredients derived from grain sources are highly refined and retain no traces of gluten proteins. For less refined ingredients from natural sources, L'Oréal Paris has established strict limits on the level of potentially allergenic proteins. Since individuals exhibit a wide range of sensitivities to these proteins, if you have any questions or concerns you should discuss with your medical care provider. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself. For products too small to accommodate the list, a separate ingredient list is available on the display unit in the store for your convenience. Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry FDA-recognized names. A review of the ingredients that are listed on all of our products or packages will alert you to the presence of this type of ingredient.
