FAQs
How long does the colour last?
The L'Oreal Paris Preference Vivids Permanent Hair Dye is designed to deliver high-intensity, long-lasting colour that can last for up to 8 weeks, depending on your hair care routine and frequency of washing.
Do I need to do a patch test?
Yes, absolutely. It is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each use of this product. Apply a small amount of the mixed dye to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or inner elbow, to check for any allergic reaction.
Can I use this on previously coloured or chemically treated hair?
This product can be used on previously coloured hair. However, if your hair has been bleached, permed, or chemically straightened, always refer to the detailed instructions in the leaflet provided with the product, as this can affect colour results and processing time.
What is Liquid Gel technology?
Liquid Gel technology is a unique formulation that helps the dye penetrate hair evenly for intense, luminous colour. It's enriched with a UV filter and Vitamin E Derivative to help protect the colour from fading and maintain long-lasting radiance and shine.
What should I do if the dye gets on my skin?
If dye gets on your skin during application, gently wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol or a mild cleanser. For best results, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline before applying the dye to create a barrier.
Can I save leftover dye for later use?
No, once the colouring gel and developer cream are mixed, the chemical reaction begins, and the mixture will lose its effectiveness rapidly. Any leftover mixed product should be discarded safely and not stored for future use.
Troubleshooting
Colour appears uneven or patchy.
Ensure hair was sectioned evenly during application. Next time, try using a comb to distribute the product thoroughly, especially on thicker hair. Make sure hair is fully saturated with dye.
Colour is not as vibrant or dark as expected.
Ensure the development time specified in the leaflet was strictly followed. Factors like previous hair treatments, natural hair colour, and hair porosity can affect the final result. If hair was very light, it might absorb differently. Re-check the initial condition of your hair against product expectations.
Hair feels dry or damaged after dyeing.
Thoroughly rinse all dye from hair after development. Always use the Post Colour Conditioner provided, as it's formulated to nourish hair after dyeing. In subsequent washes, use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask formulated for coloured or damaged hair.
Scalp irritation or itching after application.
Immediately rinse thoroughly with water. This could be a sign of sensitivity or allergic reaction. Stop using the product if symptoms persist and consult a medical professional. Always perform a patch test 48 hours prior to use to prevent such reactions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Vibrant and Bold Colour: Delivers a deep, intense black shade.
Exceptional Shine: Provides up to 3x shinier hair, enhancing its health and appearance.
Long-Lasting: Colour is designed to last for up to 8 weeks, reducing the frequency of reapplication.
Advanced Formula: Liquid Gel technology with UV filter and Vitamin E Derivative supports colour longevity and radiance.
Convenient At-Home Application: Easy-to-follow steps for a salon-quality result from home.
Cons
Permanent Colour: Requires commitment and may be difficult to change if you desire a different shade soon after.
Patch Test Required: Essential to perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before use, adding preparation time.
Potential for Mess: As with any liquid hair dye, care must be taken during application to avoid staining skin or surfaces.
Colour Variation: Final results can vary depending on your natural hair colour, texture, and previous treatments.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Preparation is Key: Before starting, ensure you have an old towel, gloves (provided), a timer, and the entire contents of the L'Oreal Paris Preference Vivids kit.
Mixing: The setup primarily involves mixing the colouring gel and developer cream as per instructions. Always shake well to ensure a homogenous mixture.
Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes.
Compatibility
Hair Types: This product is generally compatible with most hair types.
Prior Treatments: Be mindful if your hair has been previously bleached, permed, or chemically straightened, as this can affect colour uptake and intensity. Always refer to the instruction leaflet for specific guidance regarding chemically treated hair.
Allergy Test: Absolutely crucial compatibility check is the skin allergy patch test 48 hours before use. Do not use if you experience any reaction.
Care
Rinse Thoroughly: After development, rinse your hair until the water runs completely clear to remove all excess dye.
Post-Colour Conditioner: Use the provided Post Colour Conditioner immediately after rinsing. This helps to seal the cuticle, lock in colour, and add shine.
Colour-Safe Products: To maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your Deep Black colour, use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for colour-treated hair.
Limit Washing: Avoid washing your hair daily. Washing every 2-3 days can help prolong the colour.
Cool Water Rinsing: Rinse your hair with cooler water, as hot water can strip colour faster.
Heat Protection: If you use heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray to minimize fading and damage.
Sun Protection: UV filters in the product help, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still fade hair colour. Consider wearing a hat when outdoors for extended periods.
