Product Information
Full details
The L'Oreal Paris Excellence permanent at-home hair colour is designed for adults seeking a deep, natural black shade and comprehensive hair care during the colouring process. Its key win is the Triple Care Colour Regime, which nourishes and strengthens hair while delivering up to 100% grey coverage and long-lasting, vibrant colour. A crucial caveat is the mandatory patch test 48 hours before use to ensure safety and prevent allergic reactions.

FAQs
How long does the L'Oreal Paris Excellence colour last?
The permanent hair colour provides natural radiant colour that lasts for up to 8 weeks.
Does this product cover grey hair?
Yes, L'Oreal Paris Excellence is formulated to provide up to 100% grey coverage, ensuring a uniform and natural look.
How long does the application process take?
The colour develops in under 30 minutes. This time does not include preparation like the mandatory patch test.
Is a patch test really necessary before every use?
Yes, a patch test is mandatory 48 hours before each use. Allergic reactions can develop suddenly, even if you've used hair colour before, so it's a critical safety step.
What is included in each L'Oreal Paris Excellence box?
Each box typically includes one caring colouring cream, one developer, one caring scalp shampoo, one caring lightweight mask, and one comb applicator.
Is this hair colour suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the non-drip crème formula is designed to be suitable for all hair types.
Can I use this product if I have very sensitive skin?
A patch test is absolutely essential if you have sensitive skin or any concerns. If any irritation occurs during the patch test, do not proceed with colouring and consult a medical professional.
Troubleshooting
Colour appears uneven or patchy
Ensure thorough saturation during application, especially on areas with more grey hair or previous colour. Use the comb applicator for even distribution.
Allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling)
Discontinue use immediately. This is why the 48-hour patch test is crucial. If a reaction occurs during the test, do not use the product. Consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.
Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring
Ensure you are using the included caring scalp shampoo and lightweight mask as part of the Triple Care Colour Regime. These products are formulated to nourish and strengthen hair post-colouring. For ongoing care, use hydrating, colour-safe hair products.
Colour did not cover grey hair completely
Ensure the product was left on for the full recommended development time. For resistant greys, ensure adequate product application to those specific areas. Make sure the mixture was thoroughly blended before application.
Mixture did not develop correctly
Ensure the colouring cream and developer were thoroughly mixed by shaking the bottle vigorously. Do not store mixed product; use immediately after preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Perform a Patch Test: Absolutely crucial. Apply a small amount of product mixture to a cleansed area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow) 48 hours before full application. Do not wash, cover, or disturb the area. If you experience any reaction like itching, redness, or swelling, do not use the product.
- Preparation: Put on the gloves provided. Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed.
- Mix the Colour: Pour the entire contents of the colouring cream into the developer bottle. Close the bottle and shake thoroughly until the mixture is completely blended.
- Application: Immediately after mixing, open the applicator tip. Use the comb applicator to apply the colour mixture evenly to your hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure all hair, especially grey areas, is thoroughly saturated.
- Develop: Leave the colour on for the recommended development time, as specified in the instruction leaflet (typically under 30 minutes).
- Rinse: Once the development time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
- Shampoo: Apply the caring scalp shampoo provided to your hair and gently massage. Rinse thoroughly.
- Mask: Apply the caring lightweight mask to your hair. Leave it on for the recommended time, then rinse.
Compatibility
This L'Oreal Paris Excellence hair colour is suitable for all hair types. Its nourishing formula is designed to be gentle while delivering effective colour.
Post-Colouring Care
- Use Included Mask: Continue using the provided caring lightweight mask for ongoing nourishment and shine, as per the instructions.
- Gentle Hair Products: Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your colour.
- Limit Heat Styling: Reduce the use of high heat styling tools directly after colouring to protect your hair's health and colour.
- Sun Protection: Consider using UV protection sprays or hats if spending extended time in direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
