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

submitted by haylee - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi there, haylee! Thank you for reaching out about our Excellence Triple Protection Permanent Hair Color. Our shade 4 Dark Brown will be one shade darker than your medium brown natural color. We hope this is helpful!

    submitted byL'OrealParisProductExpert - 3 months ago
    Brand expert
  • 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?

submitted by grandma j - 3 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.

You changed your product and made it worse, not better. So many people are disappointed in it. You should read Reddit - the same complaints by many people on and on and on it goes. People like myself used this product for years and years, and are now very disappointed with it.
