STEP 3 – APPLY COLOUR: Part your hair into small, even sections and apply the colour. Refer to instructions for development time. Apply conditioner and then rinse thoroughly.

I was really pleased with the results. The colour came out a lovely soft golden blonde. It was easy to apply & gave good coverage. Best I have ever used. My hair was very light blonde but roots were darker & it covered perfectly. Gives a more natural finish than some hair colourants.

I think L'oreal is the best for home hair colour. Leaves the hair in great condition and is gentle on the scalp. However, if like me you are a typical British mousey blonde/light brown with a reddish base colour, colouring at home is a nightmare because even though your hair is fairish, it just won't go blonde, just goes brassy! You can get a blonde colour you're satisfied with eventually but it will take you a lot of experimentation and money, not to mention poor hair condition after all the dye. This was a second attempt at home in 3 months (have short hair and colour was mostly cut out) and done as a strand test which just turned orange, so forget messing about, it's off to the hairdressers for me, even though I only want to go a shade lighter. All those people who went dark or blue/green/grey with L'oreal ash shades must have had pre-coloured/bleached hair as it certainly wasn't the case for me on natural fairish hair. Great colour in general L'oreal, but when is someone going to cater for British mousey blondes who want to go a shade or two lighter without the brass? You'd be on to a winner if you catered for us!

Loved the shampoo addition

a month ago
Loved this product covered grey hair and the shine was great. Well done L’Oréal for including a shampoo in my opinion this has been missing from hair colours since I began colouring my hair (many years ago)

Doesnt cover grey hair

2 months ago
Doesn cover you grey hair. I kept for 45 min, nothing . Also, after good wash, you hair will still smell of amonia. They says there is No amonia in it…, of course it is. You can smell. Not happy at all. Lot of Lies.

No, I do not recommend this product.

New formula, shade is NOT the same!!

2 months ago
Box has changed, and it states new formula, same shade. No it isn't. I've used L'Oreal excellence 7.3 for years, and always been very happy. Why mess with something that had many loyal customers? I've given two stars because if you are using for the first time, you might find this okay. But I am used to a certain result, and this doesn't give it. As a protest I will try a different manufacturers product. Very unhappy customer.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bad bad bad for blondes

7 months ago
Absolutely awful!!! Do not use this product !! No no no !!! Do not do it ! It ruined my beautiful platinum white hair and now it is a weird purple blue green shade !!! The neutralizer that is in the product is too strong for already platinum blonde hair ... This may work of you are going from a dark shade hair to lighter but not for blondes already ...I dunno just don't use it if your blonde !!! Never ever had a bad experience before but this is a first . Should be removed from the shelves.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Too dark

9 months ago
Brought yesterday unfortunately Came out way too dark a strong dark brown close to black tone. Have tried to wash multiple times to remove some of the color but little effect so far. Generally smells OK not too strong, hair was smooth after use of the mask and I love the green undertone as it covers the red orange tones in my hair however comes out way too dark. I think maybe go for a level 6 or 7 if wanting the color on the box. My hair was a brassy medium brown with highlights prior to use. Needed two boxes for my waist length hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Formula change worsens previously excellent produc

10 months ago
I have been using loreal exceĺlence for several years, its been wonderful all that time, however the formula has changed, its very thick, dries on the hair very quickly, is not as nice a shade as it was and the colour fades very quickly. Please go back to the previous formula!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very dissatisfied

a year ago
I used 9.1 Natural light ash blonde for the first time. I have naturally dark blonde hair and thought this colour would be ok. After applying the colour my hair went very dark so I only left it on for 30 minutes. I’m not happy with the results. It is dark with a tinge of green.

New formula is awful!

a year ago
Dear producer I want to point out that the new formula is terrible. The color changes every week and 3 weeks after coloring my hair looks like I haven't colored it in months. I liked the 5.15 but after 2 weeks it turns warm with orange and red bits in my hair. Please reconsider and return the old formula. I don't understand why there was a need to change a hair dye that was great and worked great. I am currently looking for another hair dye because I am completely dissatisfied with the new formula

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not a good as it was

a year ago
I’ve used colour 7.3 for a couple of years and always been pleased with it. I’m not impressed with the new formula though or colour . My colour does not last as long it’s brassy almost ginger and the dye is hard to get out of the bottle . It tends to shoot out in blobs. I’m looking to change to a different brand

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not as vibrant nor last as i hoped for.

a year ago
I purchased 2 boxes of natural darkest black, to ensure all of my shoulder length was covered... the product is quoted as 'provides a rich and long lasting hair colour performance'... sadly not the case for me. I dyed my hair 2 weeks ago and already the colour has lost vibrancy, my greys have started to show through (yes i know new growth happens) but the greys that were there are showing through which is noticeable against the dark colour.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Dreadful - bring back the old formulation!

a year ago
I've used Excellence Creme shade 3 for many years. The latest apparently reformulated version is dreadful. It's really difficult to apply, both to get out of the bottle and to work through the hair as it's way too thick in terms of consistency. Coverage appears patchy and inconsistent for the first time ever. I'm reluctant to switch brands but shall be doing so unless the previous formulation is brought back. And nothing on the pack to indicate the formulation is any different.
ConsLow quality, Not durable

No, I do not recommend this product.

I accidentally used a brazil nut sized amount instead of a hazelnut sized amount, but it still turned out okay! Good result!

Why change something that worked???

a year ago
I have been using this product for over 10 years but the last 5 times I have used it, the colour has not lasted very well and grey hair still shows. Also mixture is now too thick to get out of the nozzle which blocks continuously. Very disappointed that this product has changed for the worse and will now have to find the same colour from a different brand.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not great since new formula change

This product has changed formula for the worse. Change in consistency, leaves a green tint, fades and doesn’t cover grey hair well as previously did. Had been a loyal customer of this product for years before this. As previous reviews have said..Please bring the old formula back!

no grey coverage anymore

a year ago
This was my go-to dependable box dye that would cover my greys. It doesn't work anymore! I've tried a couple of times thinking that I possibly got a rare dud. Alas, no. It's just not as effective anymore. Bring back the ammonia, I say!

Out of date

a year ago
I have recently bought this colour and today just coloured my hair and it left me with very bad texture and smell.I believe the colour is out of date as the consistency looked really off, very thick with a lot of lumps and unable to pass through the small hole of the applicator. I tried to wash my hair 3 times after but the smell is still there, very strong and unpleasant. I am not happy about this product at all.

Excellence crème 6.3 natural light golden brown

a year ago
I have been using this colourant 6.5 for 12 years. All of a sudden the formula has changed. The mixture is thick and hard to apply as it won’t come out of the nozzle freely. The colour is not the same and it does not cover the roots. I will not be purchasing this product again unless it is changed back to the original formula.
