Waste of time and money, so brassy

3 years ago
I bought 7.11 “Ultra ash blonde” to get my roots closer to my natural colour, which is a very cool tone. I was so excited to use this as all dyes, even professional tend to make my roots brassy. I have to say, this is probably the worst dye I’ve ever used, especially considering it’s “ultra ash”. My roots were in between the first and middle ‘before’ photos on the back of the box, and now they’re orange. Very disappointed, especially since this is one of the most expensive box dyes, complete waste of money

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hot orange disaster

a year ago
Really disappointed. My hair is naturally a level 7 ash blonde I used a level 6.11 ultra ash to do my roots and mid lengths hoping for a slightly darker ash . This color has lifted my hair to a level 8/9 hot orange I'm wondering if the developer in these colours is way to high as I'm pretty sure a level 6 should not lift this much especially an ultra ash color.

Superb

3 years ago
I am so delighted with this colour. I have naturally neutral /cool very dark brown hair which is greying. I had a terrible highlighting experience at the hairdresser to blend in the grey while it grew through, which turned it orange. I had to correct it before going back to work. I bought the ultra ash dark blonde, as brown dyes often go black. It's perfect! My hair is a beautiful, rich neutral/ash medium to dark brown with no root glow. Excellent grey coverage, glossy condition and pleasant application due to minimal smell and no skin staining. Absolutely brilliant!!
ProsHigh quality

Yes, I recommend this product.

Exact colour as it says

4 years ago
I attempted to bleach hair for first time at home to add the blond bits I already had. Anyway that went horribly wrong with some bits nearly white blonde and other areas very yellow and orange. Knowing that an ash colour can help neutralise the orange yellow tones I decided to give this a try. Unlike some other people who have used this method. I do not really have any light bits.it’s generally all one colour. It maybe ideal to not leave it on for full time of 30 mins. You can see in photo that it developed a lot at just 10 mins into development.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I AM IMPRESSED!!!

4 years ago
This product delivers what no salon colour has done so far - COOOOOOL brown with gold streaks (where my greys used to be) - I recognise myself as me! Whilst I admire stunning, flame-hair coloured beauties, this is not me. So I'm BESIDE myself with excitement at this affordable, so easy to apply Excellence - I'm sold! I rated 4☆ stars because it is my only my 2nd wash after application. So watch this space.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellence Hair dye.

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always get loreal hair colour, but never tried this range before, I'm so pleased I took the plunge. I usually go for a light brown shade, but sometimes can be a little too dark, so I decided to try this dark blonde for a change, its given a subtle colour change to my brown/blonde hair, making it a desired light brown shade and I love it, I will be choosing this shade again that's for sure. My hair is so shiny too I've never known it to look like this. Really recommend this creame colour easy to apply and gives great results.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Yes and No !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this hair colour this past week, and it certainly is "nice" as far as the condition it left my hair in. I honestly think it was my fault that it worked the way it did. My hair was very white, and it didn't cover all the grey/white. Apparently, my grey is "stubborn" . The conditioning properties are wonderful though. All I did was apply another box, and life is back to normal. If you have extremely grey or white hair, you may have to use a "filler" shade first.

Brought me back to home

4 years ago
I chose this on a whim to take my rooty-blonde trying to grow to natural look out - failing via salon. Not their fault, just products had my hair in a perpetual standstill. I used this once and it blended my light brown root with my pre-colored trailer park blonde lol- into a highlighted medley. Perhaps I lucked out, but if you pull orange and have to bake under a heat lamp to lift, maybe bleach is your enemy like mine. Thanks L’Oréal I love it.
ProsHigh quality

Yes, I recommend this product.
