a change which is not for the better
I have been buying and using L'Oreal Excellence creme for years. Today I used the "new" one and am very disappointed that the gloves seem to have been downsized...
Dissapointed
Loreal Paris Nex Excellence cream did not work to my hair and did not give the results as it mentioned.Downgraded such a great product.
I always use the L'Oréal excellence range and am disappointed that it has changed. I loved the surum, now it's gone. The colour is different, it turned my roots gingery. I am really annoyed as I have been so greatful to find the right product finally, only to have you change it for the worse. The shampoo is lovely, but the serum was what really sold me, that and the good colour, if I wanted ginger...Read MoreTerrible and incredibly disappointed.
Excellent number 5. I used it for years. It was spot on, but L’Oreal have changed it. To my shock my hair now looks totally fake and ginger. It’s completely different, the product was thin and runny to apply, it stung my scalp and the result is now horrible. It’s completely changed from the original number 5. I now have to go to the barbers and get a number one close cut. Yes Im a guy. Shocking ne...Read MoreVery dissatisfied
Used for yrs but never colored the gray now the colours have changedHair color app dose not work
Seen it on tv and went on web site and it dose not work, all liesFast to finish
I didn't use this shade but I used the Black 1. It didn't last in my hair at all. I'd be dyeing my hair every 3 weeks as my greys would be showing by then. Unfortunately thinking it was going to be good, I had bought many. I just really wanted to finish using them... which dyeing my more often helped me do so. Not a good dye and I won't be buying it ever againThe advertised colour was totally wrong!!! HELP
I am a light brown....I purchased the 5.03 warm golden brown (full of highlights!) and turned BLACK!!!!! It did cover my greys but a 74 yo with Black hair looks soooo weird. Scary even!!! Can you advise how I can rectify and get back to a Warm Golden BrownDon't like the change either
I bought my normal Light Ash Blonde 9.1 which actually was in the wrong packaging (wrong picture and wrong name 'Ash Blonde) with no sticker to correct the mistake and no real apology when I wrote to Loreal to make sure I bought the right colour. The supermarket also made no effort to show the mistake. Could have been a bad mistake for someone going by the picture and name and not the number. Now ...Read MoreChange for worst
I use excellence for many years and the change isn’t good, not sure if the liq is thin compare with the old one or the tip of the tube changed but while you are dying your hair, the cream keep dripping which is very annoying. Oh, and it become more expensive as well.Useless Gloves
I bought the same product as usual and found shampoo instead of the protector liquid.
Then I tried to put the gloves on. Hopeless!! I tore one and was more careful with the second, but had to cope with it only half on which caused dramas as the colour was applied. Please quality control the gloves with real women and I dont have large hands.missing developer
I have used this product before and found it very good, but last time I bought the packet was missing developer so could not use for 6.30 light golden brown very disappointing as could not return without docket.Does not cover greys
Tried the colour 5.3 golden brown. Left it on for the specified times. It does not cover grey hairs. Disappointed.Not bad
Not too bad. Didn’t cover greys as well as it claimed it wouldDisappointed
I was disappointed that it didn't cover greys like it said it would.a change which is not for the better
I have been buying and using L'Oreal Excellence creme for years. Today I used the "new" one and am very disappointed that the gloves seem to have been downsized to the piont that I could not even get them on. I am not a large person but had to dye my hair without the protection of the gloves. L'Oreal, please go back to giving usable gloves!Good colour, bad smell
The colour is good and I like the shampoo and conditioner that comes with it, but the ammonia smell is terrible and made my eyes waterred tinge
I tried this haircolour a few days after I received it but I found that I had a redish time in my hair a few weeks after witch I really didn't likeConverted sceptic. Loving it!
I love this product. I was very surprised with the ease of the bottles and the ease of the application. I wouldn't purchase this colour but I love how it smells and feels and how I've finally found something to cover my grey hair!Somewhat dark
Shade is nice... but tends to be darker than shade on box. Left hair feeling soft and shiny.Quality has gone down
I have been using l’oreal products for hair colouring for many years . These past few months i have noticed that the colour does nor catch well and i am left with grey hair still showing dont know if the company has changed the formula.Good coverage
Colour is a match and has a good coverage. I think the colour hasn't lasted as long with this product as with others but over all is good, no nasty smells and easy application. I would use again.Nice colour
The court is really lovely but fades fast so my roots are lighter after a couple of washes.Great Product But
I have been using this product for long time. I would like to suggest that, this product needs to add extra tap to seal, cause sometimes losses the conditioner or others inside, the conditioner is the best part of this product. I need to mention about the gloves, they are getting too small for normal fingers. I like to see the improvement.the first but not last
I really loved the Gray coverage it provided, I found the container content enough for my length hair and my hair felt softer and moisturised. thank you for this great product it wont be my last.Effective and easy to use
I have visible grey/white hairs and was excited to try L'Oréal Paris Excellence Crème (5 Natural Brown) as the colour looked very natural on the box. The hair colour was very easy to mix and apply, with the application bottle included in the box. The colour develops in less than 30 minutes and rinses away well. The included post-colour shampoo and treatment work well to leave the hair soft, smooth...Read MoreSuper easy

L'Oréal Paris Excellence Creme 5 Natural Brown was really easy to use it had a choice of using a combination type lid to distribute it and I found this was less messy way to use it.

I used the L'Oreal Paris Excellence Creme 5 in Natural Brown over the weekend and thought it was a great home-salon product which covered my grey roots pretty well. I have medium length hair and decided to use the whole product rather than split it into a two-time use; which I sometimes do with other hair dye brands. The directions were easy to follow and the required time was sufficient to cover ...Read MoreNatural, Shiny, Greys Be Gone
Covered my grey hairs 100% and left my hair soft and shiny and very natural looking. One packet was plenty for my shoulder length hair and the shampoo smelt amazing! The hair mask is an added bonus tooCovers grey with a nice natural colour
It covers grey and the colour is very natural looking. I had some difficulty at first trying to work out what to use and when because the quantity of bottles was a bit confusing. Overall, really great product but too many steps made it a bit overwhelming.Easy to use
Easy to use , just like I expected. It would be one of my choice to choose the hair colourGreat easy to use hair colour
It was a very easy product to use which also had a pleasant smell. My hair felt really nice after and also had a great shine and all over colourEasy to apply
Really impressed by how simple this was, especially compared to the last home colour I used where I had to wet my hair three times. Applying to dry hair is so much easier and makes the process quicker. Still find the mixture stinky but it wasn't too messy. Gives good grey coverage and is a good match for my hair colour.Easy to use, nice results!
I found this due to be very easy to use. Although it didn’t give me the vivid colour difference that I expected, I found it to provide a nice even coverage and definite appearance of freshly coloured hair.Hone hair dye
I really liked this colour and it has been long lasting. It was an easy to use home hair dye. Instructions were clear.Natural hair colour matches nicely
Colour is great. It matched my colour really well. I have fine hair and the amount of conditioner provided will last me 3 washes. The hairdye doesnt have a strong smell and covered my greys really good.Natural colour
I wasn’t sure about the colour as my hair was dark blonde (brassy) with light brown & grey regrow this of about 2”
The colour was easy to mix, application was easy too. It did have that hair colour smell but nothing overbearing. I’m not too sure about the post shampoo because it’s never been something that comes with packs I’ve bought before, however I liked the idea of washing scalp of any...Read MoreGood product

I found this product to be an excellent choice to use to prevent colour fading as well as to get rid of grey hair.Easy colour
Easy to use and good colour match. Covered the greys and left hair nice and shiny.Good but dry
We have recently moved and I am trying all new products. I tried this one to cover the grey, and the coverage is great (minus my tinting skills) but it made my hair extremely dry- like straw, until I used the conditioner. Other then that it looks great now!excellent colour
beautiful colour and the after colour shampoo sample is the best i have used and want to buy some to use every dayL’Oréal hair colour review
The colour is gentle on hair and has a good shine finish , 100%grey hair coverage for me and I liked the natural brown shade.Definitely a 10/10 dye
I love it! It is such a gorgeous brown.
The application brush was amazing. Made it super easy to get all the fine hairs near my ears.
The shampoo that you use after rinsing, OMG! I've waited forever for this to be a thing! It helps rinse away all the excess dye that doesn't want to rinse out on it's own, it smells amazing and feels great too. And the smell of the conditioner is just ...Read MoreGoodbye greys

I haven't dyed my hair myself for about 3 or 4 years and since then, I have started getting a few grey hairs. I really like the addition of the gentle shampoo in the pack!

I have quite thick hair so was glad that there was enough product to cover all my hair, even though I may have m...Read MoreHappy with L'Oréal Paris Excellence!

I love how Loreal is always looking to better their products. I wasn't that keen on some of their previous ones as the smell was quite strong and it turned me off so I hadn't used theirs for some years, even though the colour turned out great.

Easy to apply, beautiful natural colour once my hair was dry. The creme conditioner left my hair so soft and smells amazing. I love that there is extra conditioner to keep my hair in soft easy and manageable condition. It’s beautiful and makes me feel confident.True Excellence
The L'Oreal Paris Excellence Creme is fantastic. Easy to use, not messy, colour develops in 30 mins and the colour comes as it states on the back of the box (depending on what colour your hair is before you dye it).Excelling in Excellence!
Upon looking at the package, I was intrigued as to what the triple care system entailed. I opened the box to check the contents and read the enclosed leaflet. One question I always have with hair dyes, do you have wet hair or dry hair? That question was answered in the leaflet quickly which was helpful. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand and follow. The gloves, way too small a...Read MoreGreat colouring product
Nice packaging, easy to unbox and see what we had. Simple instructions, nice products, left my hair soft and shiny.Easy, clean application
