FAQs

How long does the L'Oréal Paris Preference Vivids Red 5.66 colour last?

The colour is designed to last for up to 8 weeks, providing a long-lasting, vibrant result.

Do I need to do a patch test before using this dye?

Yes, it is essential to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every application to check for any allergic reactions.

What's included in the L'Oréal Paris Preference Vivids Red 5.66 box?

Each box typically contains 1x Colouring gel, 1x Developer Cream, and 1x Post Colour Conditioner.

Can I use this dye on previously coloured hair?

Yes, this permanent dye can be used on previously coloured hair. However, the final colour result may vary depending on your existing hair colour and condition. Always perform a strand test to preview the outcome.

How can I make my hair shinier after using this product?

The formula is designed to make hair up to 3 times shinier. To maximize this, use the included Post Colour Conditioner after rinsing and incorporate colour-safe, shine-enhancing hair products into your regular routine. Protect your hair from heat and sun.

Is this dye suitable for all hair types?

While generally suitable for adults, it's always recommended to review the detailed instructions and warnings for specific hair conditions (e.g., very damaged, bleached, or permed hair) to ensure compatibility. If in doubt, consult a professional.

How do I prepare my hair before dyeing?

For best results, it's generally recommended to apply the dye to dry, unwashed hair that has been clean for 24-48 hours. Avoid washing immediately before application as natural oils can provide some protection to the scalp.

Troubleshooting

Colour didn't take evenly or at all.

Ensure the product was mixed thoroughly and applied evenly to dry, unwashed hair. Check if the processing time was sufficient according to the instructions and consider your original hair colour; very dark hair may require pre-lightening for vivid results.

Scalp irritation or burning sensation.

Immediately rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly with cool water. Discontinue use of the product. If irritation persists or worsens, seek medical advice. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each application.

Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring.

Apply the Post Colour Conditioner generously and leave it on for the recommended time. For ongoing care, incorporate deep conditioning treatments or hair masks into your routine. Ensure your hair was in good condition prior to colouring.

Colour faded too quickly.

Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid washing hair with hot water and limit frequent washing. Protect hair from excessive sun exposure, chlorine, and heat styling without protectant. Re-evaluate your hair care routine.

Allergic reaction after patch test.

If you experience any redness, itching, swelling, or irritation during the patch test, do NOT use the hair dye. Consult a medical professional if the reaction is severe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and ongoing care are crucial for achieving the best results and maintaining the vibrancy of your L'Oréal Paris Preference Vivids Permanent Hair Dye.

Setup Instructions:

Preparation: Put on the protective gloves provided. Cover your shoulders with a towel to prevent staining. Have a non-metallic bowl and brush ready if you prefer not to use the applicator bottle.
Patch Test: Crucially, perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use. Apply a small amount of product mixture to a clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or disturb the area. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
Mixing: Pour the entire contents of the Colouring Gel (tube) into the Developer Cream (bottle). Secure the cap and shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly blended. Immediately snip off the tip of the applicator bottle to prevent bursting.
Application: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair following the specific instructions for root touch-up or full head application provided in the enclosed leaflet.
Processing: Allow the colour to develop for the time specified in the instructions, usually around 30 minutes, based on your strand test results.
Rinsing: Once the development time is complete, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and gently massage to emulsify the colour. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
Conditioning: Apply the Post Colour Conditioner through your hair. Leave on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Compatibility:

This product is designed for adult use.
It is generally suitable for natural, previously coloured, or highlighted hair. However, results on pre-lightened or very porous hair may be more intense or vary.
Not recommended for use on extensively damaged, brittle, or recently permed/relaxed hair without professional advice.
Always read the full leaflet for specific warnings and contraindications.

Care Instructions:

Post-Colouring Conditioning: Use the provided Post Colour Conditioner immediately after colouring to nourish and seal the hair cuticle, enhancing shine.
Colour-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for colour-treated hair to help preserve the vibrancy and longevity of your red shade.
Limit Washing: Wash your hair less frequently, using cool or lukewarm water, to prevent premature fading.
Heat Protection: Minimize the use of hot styling tools, and always apply a heat protectant spray when styling with heat.
Sun Protection: Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can cause fading. Consider using UV-protective hair sprays or wearing a hat.
Chlorine/Salt Water: Rinse your hair with clean water before and after swimming in chlorinated or salt water to reduce colour stripping.
