FAQs
How long does the colour last?
L'Oréal Paris Excellence Cool Creme is a permanent hair colour, meaning the colour is infused into the hair shaft and will not wash out. However, natural regrowth will occur at the roots over time.
Can I use this product if I have highlights or have recently dyed my hair?
It is best to wait until your hair has grown out or the previous colour has faded significantly. Applying permanent colour over previously treated hair can lead to unpredictable results. Always perform a strand test.
What is the purpose of the post-colour shampoo and conditioner?
The pH-neutralising shampoo gently cleanses the scalp and hair after colouring, helping to seal the cuticle. The conditioner revitalizes and softens the hair, enhancing shine and manageability while protecting the colour.
How many applications are in one box?
Typically, one box is designed for a single full application on medium-length hair. For very long or thick hair, you may need two boxes.
Can I mix different shades of Excellence Cool Creme?
While it's possible to mix shades for custom results, it is generally recommended to use the shades as directed. If you choose to mix, perform a strand test first to ensure you achieve the desired outcome.
How should I store any unused mixed product?
Unused mixed product should be discarded immediately. It cannot be stored for later use as the chemical reaction has already begun.
What if I have sensitive skin or scalp?
Always perform the 48-hour allergy test as instructed. If you experience any redness, itching, or burning, do not use the product. Consider using products specifically formulated for sensitive scalps.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation or allergic reaction after patch test.
Do not use the product. Consult a doctor if severe.
Uneven colour application or patchy results.
Ensure hair was thoroughly saturated during application. Consider a second application if necessary, following product instructions carefully. For future use, ensure even distribution and check the processing time.
Colour not as expected (too dark, too light, or wrong tone).
Results depend on original hair colour. Strand tests are crucial for predicting outcomes. For future use, select a shade that is 1-2 levels lighter than desired if your hair is dark, or consult the brand's shade guide.
Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring.
Use the provided conditioner generously and follow up with deep conditioning treatments regularly. Avoid harsh shampoos and excessive heat styling. If damage is severe, consider a professional salon treatment.
Product stains skin or surfaces.
Wipe away excess product immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn skin stains, a cleansing lotion or specific hair colour remover may be needed. Protect clothing and surfaces before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation:
- Patch Test: Always perform an allergy test 48 hours before each use, even if you have used hair colour products before. Mix a small amount of the colourant and developer and apply to a discreet area of skin. Wait 48 hours to check for any reaction.
- Strand Test: To preview the colour result, apply the mixed colour to a small, hidden section of hair.
- Protect: Wear the provided gloves and cape. Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline to protect your skin.
Application:
- Follow the detailed instructions in the product's leaflet for mixing the colour cream and developer. Typically, this involves pouring the developer into the applicator bottle and then adding the colour cream. Shake well until fully combined.
- Section your hair and apply the colour mixture evenly from roots to ends, ensuring full saturation.
- Allow the colour to process for the time specified in the instructions (usually around 30 minutes).
Rinsing & Aftercare:
- Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
- Apply the post-colouring shampoo to gently cleanse the scalp and hair.
- Apply the conditioner to revitalize and soften the hair. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse.
Compatibility:
This product is intended for use on adult hair. It is suitable for most hair types but results can vary based on your natural hair colour and condition. It is not recommended for use on hair that has been previously bleached, highlighted, or chemically straightened if a drastic colour change is desired, as it may lead to uneven results.
Care:
To maintain your colour, use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for coloured hair. Avoid excessive heat styling and protect your hair from sun exposure, which can cause fading.
