TRIPLE CARE COLOUR RITUAL: Cares for your colour. Cares for your scalp. Cares for your hair.

TRIPLE CARE COLOUR RITUAL: Cares for your colour. Cares for your scalp. Cares for your hair. 

Follow our three step ritual:

1. Protective Cool Colouring Cream: Enriched with Pro-Keratin. Protects the hair as it colours. Rich, long-lasting, cool colour. 

2. Gentle pH Purple Post-Colour Shampoo. Delicately cleanses the scalp and hair of excess residue. Smooths the hair and reveals a radiant colour. 

3. Anti-Brassiness Purple Mask. Makes the hair shiny and supple whilst neutralising brassiness week after week.  

Usage

STEP 1 – BEFORE COLOURING: Remember to be colour safe and always do your patch test 48 hours before use, even if you have already used colouring products before. Please follow the instruction leaflet and read the safety information. 

STEP 2 – PREP: Cover your shoulders with a towel and put on the gloves. Open the colouring bottle and pour it entirely into the developer bottle. Close with the applicator tip and shake it to obtain a completely even mixture. Twist off the applicator tip immediately to avoid bursting and damage from the product over flowing. 

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.

Was initially confused how it was called ‘blonde’ when picture is medium brown. Came out really dark brown with green tinge. Dyed it a different colour the next day it looked so bad

No, I do not recommend this product.

I wanted a not to Dark not to Light Ash shade to tone down my at home colour correction from using professional colours but various Darks that caused banding and a lot of left over Red pigments. After 2 bleaches I was left with a fetching shade of Apricot Orange and though it was way lighter than a base 7 I opted to go for this rather than the lighter 8's or 9's. I'm happy with the result as you can see vast improvement! But not sure how it would fair on my natural base 7. I will perhaps review it again if I go the same shade when my roots come through. Overall I now have a Dark Caramel Blonde that's not unpleasant and although it's knocked out a lot of Brass, I'm still warm which really you can't expect miracles from the start point here lol I suspect a much Ashier result on less Orange hair which if that's what you are looking for it should do it well. So would i recommend? If you have a bleach nightmare at home and don't mind a start point again definitely Yes! The colour mask that comes with is a mainly Blue based one so ideal for Orange correction (most are light purple to knock out yellow) This was very Blue based, so that was a bonus. I've added pics of before then after in natural indoor and outdoor light immediately after colouring. I used 2 boxes of the 7.11. Not bad DIY colour correction at home if you want to be able to be seen in public again! Overall a great product. Hope you agree it's a great improvement and you find the review useful! Very thick texture, nice smell and good result.

Weak, doesn't cover greys, doesn't last. Orangish.

a year ago
The formulation must have changed, for sure, as I used to have good results. Unfortunately, the last time I used it, did not cover grays nor last. Very gentle with the scalp, no itchiness, no stains over your face; however, your hair looks pretty much the same as before dying. Also, it is meant to be Ashy brown but my hair went orange ish. Very weak hair colour, not ash but oransh, very disappointed. I do not recommend it and will be switching brands.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Pulls through auburn - AVOID

a year ago
Awful. Absolutely livid! I haven’t dyed my hair in over a year, so didn’t need to follow the instructions if just touching up roots. I have warm undertones in my hair naturally, hence choosing an ash formulation. Not only has this woeful product lightened my hair; my hair is now red! Not ash brown BUT RED!!! Has done nothing about my greys either.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bring back the original formula..

a year ago
The new formula is terrible, and the colour doesn't last as it used to do, a couple of washes and the greys start to appear again. I find this formula leaves my hair coarse and dry. Less formula, less effective and more damaging to hair.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Good results

a year ago
I've been buying this hair colour product for about two years now. The shade is perfect for me, and true to description. The whole colouring process is fairly easy, and efficient. Dye ashes out of the skin easily, if you smudge it. Overall I found it to great alternative to hairdresser colouring while I am on a tight budget.

Yes, I recommend this product.

New Loreal Excellence Triple Hair Colour

The New formula is absolutely terrible. It's really thick, difficult to use and does not penetrate the hair roots. Having used this brand for over 20 years I am having to look for an alternative.

Poor coverage

a year ago
Really disappointed. Greys haven’t been covered well, either still grey or pale blonde. The dye has given quite a red undertone which I was trying to avoid. It’s a lot lighter than I was hoping for too - much lighter than as advertised. Hair feels beautifully soft immediately after though

New pack 2024 - NOT THE "SAME SHADE" AT ALL!

2 years ago
I have used L'Oréal Excellence 5.11 Ultra Ash Light Brown for a few years now. It still made my hair a little orangey/brassy but better than some others. Now they have new packaging and the 5.11 box shows pictures of really dark brown/black hair, but the packet says "same shade". So I went against my first instincts and trusted L'Oréal. Please don't do it!! The consistency of the colour mix was thick and lumpy regardless of how much I mixed the products. It was virtually impossible to rinse all the colour out of my hair (it was still coming out the next day). The final result was very dark, as in the picture, not light brown as described on the box. Also my hair is breaking now and the colour stained my skin. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Never trusting L'Oréal again!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Dye Didn't Come In The Box

2 years ago
i bought two of these Dark Ash Blonde hair dyes to use, I am sure the colour is beautiful but i wouldn't know as i found that the box had already been tampered with and inside was a whole bunch of purple shampoos and hair masks, no colourant or developer to be seen. Raging. This was a waste of nearly £14, but i have noticed over the years that your boxes are not sealed, i know no hair dye box is, you can easily open it in the store, but something needs to be done about this, putting proper security on them and sealing the box properly so that this doesn't happen. It has put me off buying.

No, I do not recommend this product.

2 years ago
Seemed to go a lot darker that the oicture on my daughters blonde hair but she liked it. Covers really well and felt amazing and very shiny. It was like leaving a hair mask on and the luxurious feeling afte3 use was how this felt.

definitely not an 'ash' colour

2 years ago
I have naturally light ash brown/dark blonde and wanted to cover the few greys I have. After using this, my hair looks 'chocolate' light brown - I literally want to cry as I absolutely hate reddish/warm tones and have preserved my hair free of colour for 30+ years just to now destroy it with this. I'm absolutely gutted and will now have to go and get it professionally repaired. The name misrepresents the actual result.

Sadly disappointed

2 years ago
Recently purchased this, was really excited because of what it says on the box; used it yesterday and I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. My grey roots are ginger. It is a total waist of money, there are cheaper brands that do actually do work. Fancy box and brand but sadly doesn’t live up to what it says.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Nice colour

3 years ago
Wanted to take the warm out of my hair and make it more ashy, which I have achieved without the expensive salon visit. My hair went a beautiful shiny shade and I am impressed you get enough mask and conditioner to keep using for a few washes after you’ve used the dye to keep on top of maintaining the ash colour and silkiness of the hair.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Superb

3 years ago
I am so delighted with this colour. I have naturally neutral /cool very dark brown hair which is greying. I had a terrible highlighting experience at the hairdresser to blend in the grey while it grew through, which turned it orange. I had to correct it before going back to work. I bought the ultra ash dark blonde, as brown dyes often go black. It's perfect! My hair is a beautiful, rich neutral/ash medium to dark brown with no root glow. Excellent grey coverage, glossy condition and pleasant application due to minimal smell and no skin staining. Absolutely brilliant!!

Impressed

3 years ago
When I got it I wasn't 100 percent sure about the colour as I usually go with warmer colours. The only reason I decided to try was because of my hairdresser always add matt, so I thought to give it a go. I can say confidently this is an item that I love now, and perfect match for the colour on the box.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Please don’t ever discontinue the PH shampoo!

3 years ago
This is the only dye I don’t react to, and I believe it’s due to the PH shampoo included, I think it must neutralise the oxidation process or something. This is the only dye I’ve found in 20+ years that doesn’t make my head itch like mad and feel sore. I wish I could buy gallons of the shampoo just in case it’s ever discontinued!

Exact colour as it says

3 years ago
I attempted to bleach hair for first time at home to add the blond bits I already had. Anyway that went horribly wrong with some bits nearly white blonde and other areas very yellow and orange. Knowing that an ash colour can help neutralise the orange yellow tones I decided to give this a try. Unlike some other people who have used this method. I do not really have any light bits.it’s generally all one colour. It maybe ideal to not leave it on for full time of 30 mins. You can see in photo that it developed a lot at just 10 mins into development.

Yes, I recommend this product.

L'oreal hair dyes are definitely my go to! You can rely on them giving you good coverage and helping to repair the hair as you dye and post dying as well! The colour is lovely and multi-tonal. Leave hair very shiny! Comes with plenty of conditioner too which is great!

Brought me back to home

4 years ago
I chose this on a whim to take my rooty-blonde trying to grow to natural look out - failing via salon. Not their fault, just products had my hair in a perpetual standstill. I used this once and it blended my light brown root with my pre-colored trailer park blonde lol- into a highlighted medley. Perhaps I lucked out, but if you pull orange and have to bake under a heat lamp to lift, maybe bleach is your enemy like mine. Thanks L’Oréal I love it.

I gave this to my mum to trial and she loved how soft it made her hair. Her hair type is is quite fine and has grey coming through dark brown, this shade matched her natural brown perfectly and covered all of the grey naturally, with no shade difference between the brown and grey hair. Left hair super soft and has a lovely scent.

First of all, this doesn’t come with a vile hair dye sort of smell that fills a room and lingers, it has a delicate nice scent. It took to my hair well, I’m currently pregnant and have found that dyes are not taking too well but this has. It’s added a lovely sheen to my hair.

Excellence Ultra Ash Brown

4 years ago
I usually love the L’Oréal har colours but unfortunately I do not like the ultra ash brown colour. I have dark brown hair which is now a dull black and not a good look at all for me. The condition of my hair is good after the colour application but the colour does not suit me or my skin tone so a bit disappointed with this one.

Easy to use and lovely results

4 years ago
Really pleased I got to try this shade, it refreshed my colour and took down the brassy tones leaving it much more ashy and natural. All of my greys were covered and blended nicely with the rest of my hair. The purple conditioner also helped to prolong the ashy tone. Eventually the brassy tones did come back after a month or so.

I have only recently started to dye my hair again after a break for pregnancy so I was a little apprehensive but this was so easy to use and the smell wasn’t too bad either! The colour developed well on my natural light brown hair and is true to the shade on the box.
