[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging and items included to dye my hair were top tier. I followed the directions exactly as stated on the box and my color was even and balanced. The only thing…the color was way too dark for me! I have medium brown hair naturally, so having it be this dark black didn’t look nice on me. I’m definitely going to try the lighter brown shades because the product is easy to use and good quality!
Perfect coverage, super easy application. Love.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was highly impressed by this home hair dye! I normally use a more expensive brand, but honestly I feel like this worked better. The formula was runny enough that it blended easy but gelled enough that it didn’t run down my face or neck. The smell wasn’t as strong as many other brands that I’ve tried. It only took me one box and about 20 minutes to do my whole head of hair. 25 minutes after that-my dark brown color came out perfectly- no orange tint. And best of all- there was not one single grey hair! Also, you can’t beat the price. I definitely plan on using L’Oréal from now on.
Definitely going to purchase this product for next

I had been using the Intense Copper Red RR07 for the last almost 10 years and it’s been discontinued. I can’t believe it would be discontinued! I started using the light auburn 7LA but the last couple of times I used it it didn’t cover my greys very well and the overall color looked mottled and dull. I’m really disappointed. I really wish that the RR07 color would come back. Why discontinue it?!?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions are easy to follow and understand. Packaging was clear and legible. It was quite messy, but that’s not unexpected. The application was thin but the color was nice
New formula is awful.

I have been using this product for over ten years and the new formula is awful. I have always used 5 medium brown and ever since they changed it the color lasts half as long and my hair texture is more rough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted Loreal Paris Superior Preference Ultra Natural Blonde Hair Color in exchange for my honest review. This hair color was a beautiful shade of blonde and worked really well efficiently lightening my naturally dark brown hair color. Overall, it helped my hair maintain really healthy moisture and shine while significantly lightening my hair to the perfect and appropriate natural shade of blonde. I have no complaints whatsoever with this product, application was easy and effortless with little to no mess afterward, and highly recommend it to those trying to achieve a beautiful natural looking blonde hair color.
Very good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with how vibrant the shade turned out and how soft my hair felt afterward. The application was easy, with no harsh smell, and the color lasted longer than I expected. It gave me a salon-quality finish at home, and I received lots of compliments on the shine and richness.
Easy to apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my Mom use this dye on her normally blonde to graying hair. For a reasonably priced box dye, it did a very good job and applied very easily. While the color was pretty, it just wasn't quite what she was looking for.
Very subtle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this was very easy to apply. I did like that I it wasn't as harsh as some other brands. It really didn't make much of a difference on my hair it definitely didn't cover up the red in my hair. The conditioner that came with was everything though. So I guess if you like subtle color then this would be the one for you.

Stay away from the new formula. It does not cover gray. My old color, 5G, is not the same. It made my hair red tone. Read on internet to use 61/2G. It does not cover gray. Stay away and save your money.

If I could give it zero stars I would. Or even negative. Why? Because the color was COMPLETELY different from the one I have been using the past 10 years. 5G Medium golden brown. What color is my hair? AUBURN. Red brassy tones saturated so much that EVERY person I know has noticed "you changed your hair color". Completely unacceptable. I even checked the bottle to see if it was boxed correctly, and it wasn't - labeled 5G.

I’ve used L’Oréal Preference for 20 plus years and always been very happy. However the formula must have changed in 2025. It is so thin now that it drips everywhere and takes longer to color my grey hair. Not to mention that the price has gone up. I will be looking for a different drug store hair color.
1 reply from LeCare team - 26 days ago
Hi juliemariebrown! We understand being concerned when a product you have used appears different than expected. Preference was reformulated. The new formula provides improved richer color, longer lasting high definition color, and better long term coverage of grays.
