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.

    Makes hair feel fresh and shiny.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shade of black hair dye. It’s not too dark nor on the brown undertones side. It makes my hair look healthy and shiny after dye and lasts a long time. The instructions and all equipment to dye hair are provided in box for a beautiful touch up.

    Very moisturizing and non drying

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter allowed me to play hair stylist. This is a non drying hair color with no mess and wonderful conditioning. She has sensitive skin and it didn’t itch her scalp. Left her hair with great volume and texture.

    Easy and long lasting

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love L’Oreal hair color, I’ve been using it for years and will continue to use it for this premature grey hair that I have. The application is easy and it doesn’t damage my hair or alter the texture of my curls.

    10/10

    I was really nervous to try this because I normally go to the salon. I’m happy I took the risk because it looks amazing. I will be using this product every time never going back!! my roots were so grown out and my blonde was like that yellow brassy untoned. This product brought my hair back to life!! Saved me hundreds!! Also my hair is really soft and shiny! Surprisingly 10/10

    Not Impressed

    Used UL61 on medium brown hair with natural highlights and some grey. Did not cover the greys to the color shown, instead turned them purple. Do not use this product if you have grey. Does not advise that on the box.

    Good product and price.

    Great product for me. My hair grows fast and paying a hairdresser a ton of money to color my roots every 5 weeks is too expensive. It covers my grays most the times too. Seems gentle enough for my hair.

    I have a natural level 7ish hair, dirty blonde. Got the shade light ash brown to cover my grown out highlights and try to blend it all to my original color. The formula turned my ends a muddy dull grayish brown, but the roots were pink/orange. Have to buy something else to try to fix it. Would not recommend at all. The shade being labeled ash and then having the tones of orange that came out in my hair is crazy. Find another brand.

    Old formula worked better for me

    I have used LB01 Extra Light Ash Blonde for years and have loved the results. The new and improved formula did not lighten my hair (normally medium/dark blonde) hardly at all, left uneven color on the gray hairs, and had brassy results. So disappointed! I have been using a purple conditioner to try to mask the brassiness. For me, this is not an improvement.

    Turned my hair pink.

    I had blonde hair I used this now it’s pink and feels awful.
    1 reply from L'OrealParisProductExpert team - 26 days ago
    Hello rebecca! We are very sorry to hear that your color result turned pink and that your hair texture has been affected. When applying a new shade over previously blonde hair—especially if it was bleached or highly porous—the hair can sometimes absorb the underlying pigments of a formula more intensely than intended, which can lead to unexpected tones like pink. This often happens if a shade with warm or reddish undertones is applied to a very light, cool-toned base. To help soothe your hair and restore moisture, we recommend using a deep conditioning treatment or a protein-rich mask several times a week to help seal the hair cuticle. Regarding the pink tone, using a clarifying shampoo can gradually help fade the unwanted pigment, or you can use a neutralizing toner once your hair's condition has stabilized. We strongly suggest performing a strand test before any future color applications to ensure the final result and the feel of your hair meet your expectations.

    Great box color Bring back E.L.. Beige Blonde

    I have been using Loreal 10NB for years. This time doing my roots I noticed my hair had more of an orange tint to it. I was wondering if I got a defective box..I'm usually satisfied with the hair color and never have an issue. I want a cooler shade. ash seems to give it an ugly grayish color so I tend to stick with the Neutrals. I used to LOVE Extra light Beige blonde, it was discontinued. Any chance of its return?
    1 reply from LeCare team - 23 days ago
    Hi MissMissy! Thank you for sharing how you feel about LB03-Extra Light Beige Blonde. We do not have a comparable shade to suggest. If you have dark roots the ash shade is the tone that minimizes the brassiness. We recommend just a root touch up.

    Great product!

    Loved it! I was loyal to Garnier for years. The color I use has been out of stock, tried this one and it didn’t disappoint at all. Although it’s pricy, it’s worth the investment. My grays are covered for a longer period of time.
