L'Oreal Paris ExcellenceAge Perfect Layered Tone Flattering Color, 6CB Light Soft Reddish Brown

I have bleach blonde hair, and I was looking to get away from using a highlighting kit as it was damaging my hair and I could not keep up with the color. This is the third time I have purchased this product. The first two times were at Walgreens, so was happy to find it here. My daughter is currently using my phone so I could not take a picture but it has colored my hair a nice beige, neutral blonde. This, I believe has been less damaging and looks more natural, plus requires less maintenance. I don't have grey hair, so that was not an issue for me. My roots do have a bit of a red tone but I am happy as it makes me look less washed out and brightens my face a bit and my hair has gotten healthier. This color has worked better than a lot of other colors I have tried in the past. Since, my hair was bleached my hair does lighten up after several washes, but overall, I am happy because it saves me time and money. I think if you are hoping for a very blonde result, you will be disappointed. My package did not arrive damaged. It also seems to work fairly quickly.

I mix it with another shade, both of which are blonde. But beware if you mix hair color with any box that says "Ash", that it may darken your hair more than the shade on the box. My stylist warned me of this when I told her my color came out too dark. Ash definitely leans towards darker. It seemed to take longer to wash out as well. If when you dye your hair and it's too dark, consider washing it out with very warm to mildly hot water to strip some of the darkness. Once you leave the color on your hair for a few days, it's not likely to lighten up much, so maybe within a day or less if you want to reduce darkness or some color that you don't care for. True also if you use any of the browns. It happened to me with even the medium to light browns. If you're wanting to reduce brassiness (red tones), you may want to try half with ash shade and keep the other color a neutral if you mix them together. But if you want reddish tones, don't use Ash at all. Also, I found any of the champagne blonde or browns tended to make my hair a little pinkish. Since I have graying hair, it also tends to take on reddish tones when I color it. I try to always wear a hat when in the sun for very long, as the sun will redden your hair as well. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way. I do prefer L'Oreal Excellence for covering gray hair better than some of the other brands.

I bought this for my mom as she has been trying to change the color of blonde she had. We looked at this color which we were unsure of but let me tell you it matched perfectly! Great L’Oreal product at a great price and color was perfect! I would definitely recommend.

Perfect!

Love this hair dye. It does seem to cover the white hairs better, and it doesn’t give my hair an orange cast like some other hair dyes do. I’m buying it again for sure.

This is a more gentle hair color and no strong odor! Works good. You can cut time back if you don't want full color and it still works great.

Light Natural Blonde. I purchased this to just brighten up my dark blonde hair. I did like the applicator! That worked great! I left it on for about 15-20 minutes. It did not look like it was doing anything but I didn't want my hair to turn brassy. It actually made my hair darker than it was to start with. I have never had that happen before. Maybe it just didn't agree with my hair. I won't purchase this again.

Very pretty color 9N. Good gray coverage. Color lasts 4 - 5 weeks. No harsh smell. Hair comes out soft and natural.
