Too embarrassed to go out. . The mixture turned s very dark purple.

How To Use
First-Time Application:
STEP 1 - Cover your shoulders with a towel and put on gloves. Open the colour gel bottle and pour it into the developer bottle. Secure and close the applicator tip and shake to obtain a completely even mixture. Twist off the applicator tip immediately to avoid product overflow.
STEP 2 - Apply the colour mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting from roots to ends until fully saturated. Leave on for 25 minutes and rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.
For better results, apply the shine protect conditioner, leave for 2-3 minutes, then rinse.
Root Touch-Up:
STEP 1 - Apply the colour mixture to the root area, sectioning hair into ¼" parts. Leave on for 20 minutes (add 5 minutes for resistant greys).
STEP 2 - Spread the remaining mixture through the rest of the hair and leave for 5 minutes. Rinse and condition as above.
This innovative approach ensures long-lasting, salon-inspired professional results with ease, leaving your hair radiant and full of life.

FAQ
Which L’Oreal Preference hair colour shade should I choose?
Each pack includes a shade guide on the back, displaying expected colour results based on your starting hair colour. Keep in mind, the final result may vary depending on your hair's initial shade and condition. You can also use the Virtual Hair Colour Try-on tool to preview our Préférence range hair colours.
What should I do to maintain my hair colour?
Maintaining colour treated hair requires a bit more effort than un-dyed hair. For long lasting colour, try to avoid washing your hair more than needed - stick to a routine of washing 2-3 times per week to help slow the fade. Your choice of shampoo and conditioner matters too - we recommend using L’Oreal Paris Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner for best results. Heat exposure is another factor which can fade your colour more quickly. Instead of frequent blow drying, try to air dry when you can and use heat protectant when styling.
