Awesome!!!

by dma1969 (1 review)
I love L'Oreal Excellence Hair Color Creme! It is easy to use, not all drippy, it covers grays--wonderfully, & it lasts!!! Another thing I like about this particular brand is, not only is it always easy to find my particular shade, but more, & more, stores that carry it are carrying a wider variety of colors, as well. So don't think just because it advertises that it covers grays better, that you won't be able to find a really great color variety, especially if you are one those people that likes to change shades often.10/17/2007

April 26, 2008, 2:42 pm I have to be careful dying my hair because my hair is extremely dry and brittle. that said, if used properly this product does a great job of providing great color without over dying. I have learned to dye roots first and the rest later without compromising even color and that helps prevent overdrying. I have very dark - almost black hair and the greys do start to show through in a couple of weeks but overall the color remains the same without turning that brassy orange color that a lot of dark brunette dyes tend to do. out of the home dyes I have tried this is closest to my natural color April 26, 2008, 2:42 pm

The color selection is excellent....I have alot of grey and it provides excellent coverage.... I use it about every 4 wks and my hair remains in excellent condition..... I continue conditioning treatments in-between because grey need a little extra lovin'.... The formulation is my favorite part... it is no mess cream formulation that you can apply easily without dripping and running....set the timer.... and get other things done in the meantime... sure beats sitting 3 hrs in the salon March 12, 2008, 5:37 pm

    The first time I used this product my hair wasn't in the best shape. At the end of a hot, dry summer it was dry & brittle.

December 9, 2007, 11:58 pm The first time I used this product my hair wasn't in the best shape. At the end of a hot, dry summer it was dry & brittle. Afterwards not only had it covered my gray hair but left it soft, shiney, managable & so healthy & natural looking. It cost a little more than some other well-known name brands, but I had such good results over all, I won't try any thing else. I didn't need to use it again for over 8 wks. Being a blonde and just wanting to cover the gray, may have some to do with the length of time between colorings, maybe. December 9, 2007, 11:58 pm

Not to mention it has the best conditioner I've ever used. I have baby fine hair and it makes my hair so soft and beautiful and never weighs it down so it feels greasy. I wish they sold the conditioner by it's self. I know a lot of women love it just as much as I do and I think they would make lots of sales. November 12, 2007, 4:51 pm

    A great stay in haircolor

    by sandyc28 (3 reviews)
    I have used this haircolor as my main brand in the past 3 years. I had tried so many different brands, to try and find one to get the color I want, cover a few grays, and long lasting.

November 29, 2007, 4:13 pm I have used this haircolor as my main brand in the past 3 years. I had tried so many different brands, to try and find one to get the color I want, cover a few grays, and long lasting. I haven't found a single one to work as well as Loreal. The color always turns out to match the color on the box, it covers the grays, and it is very long lasting. After I color, and wash it out, my hair is so soft and silky. This is by far, the best brand of haircolor. November 29, 2007, 4:13 pm
