    Unfortunately my hair looks black!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did my patch test 48 hours before dying my hair. I occasionally dye my hair red, I like the l'oreal color rista bright red, which lasts ages so this time I thought I'd try out the preference vivids permanent gel in dark purple. I applied as normal and left on for 30 minutes.

    My hair looked so glossy like in the ads and felt smooth. Before dying my hair, it was a medium/light brown colour, now it looks more black than dark purple. In the sun there is a slight hint of purple but it mainly looks black. It has made my hair look nice and healthy and did cover the odd grey hairs I had! I'll most probably try one of the reds next time.

    Love love love!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love! Such a gorgeous, vibrant colour. Been using Loreal hair dye for years, and when I was sent this I thought I'd be bold and try something out of the ordinary for me. It left a vibrant colour that changes shades depending on the lighting, and left my hair feeling soft with very little change to the texture or my curl pattern (if you're the type who cares about fragrances, this smelled amazing). Be warned that it takes a LONG time to rinse out, as I had to learn the hard way, and use cool water (not hot) to retain the colour and vibrancy for longer.

    Vibrant colour that lasts

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You have been warned, L'Oréal aren't messing when they say these colours are vivid! I regularly use reds and purples on my dark brown (and quite grey) hair but I didn't appreciate how strong a colour I could achieve with this range. Application and instructions are super easy and the conditioner is super-nourishing. Only downside is the hideous gloves, as anyone with slightly larger hands will know, these plastic bag gloves are not built for us

    Easy application with great colour finish

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has easy step to step instructions for application. My partner applied the colour to my hair. He did however comment on how the gloves aren't the best. Broke very easy, so had to use some spare gloves to finish the application.
    My natural hair colour is dark blonde. I also have greys in my roots. But this colour covered the whole area. I love the colour dark purple, it turned out really good.

    Rich and Vibrant Hair Colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair colour was so easy to use and foolproof, anyone can do it. The hair colour itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's rich and vibrant and gave me a nice boost.
    My hair was left looking so shiny.
    In the past I've found with purple/red toned hair colours that they fade really quickly but this hasn't been the case with this hair colour. My hair has kept the rich colour and vibrance, weeks on.

    Great colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used Preference before and have always loved the hair colour. I wanted something abit different so I tried out this dark purple and I am over the moon with the results. It was so easy to apply and didn't have a horrible smell like some other hair dyes. My hair didn't feel damaged or dry after using, it left my hair feeling soft and nourished, I will 100% be using this colour again.

    Fantastic colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great new and improved colour !
    Really easy to follow instructions ( just a little trick to use when using dark colours apply a little Vaseline around your for head and ears helps to not colour your skin ) the colour itself is extremely vibrant long lasting and using the weekly conditioner to keep the colour is fabulous! Absolutely love this colour highly recommended

    Reliable Results

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L’Oreal Preference Vivids Permanent Gel Hair Dye Dark Purple is one of my favourite hair colours. This product is reliable and always gives me the best results. My hair colour looks natural and has a really healthy shine. Perfect for home hair dying because it is very easy and quick to apply. And my bathroom and towels remain clean too. I can highly recommend.

    Hairy dye

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great hair dye if you want a full colour change, I had dark reddish brown hair before so was worried if the purple colour woukd take and it did :)
    One box was enough for my should length hair, it covered fgs few grey hair I have and my hair looks lovely and shiny! My only complaint would be my hair felt really dry after.

    Brilliant colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not one to drastically change the colour of my hair but this shade is beautiful on my brown hair. The colour is vibrant but not overpowering. My hair is very soft and glossy after the dyeing process. It fades gradually which I prefer. I always use l'Oréal for hairdye so I am not really furprise that I love it!

    Beautiful colour!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only did it turn out beautiful on my hair but the colour also adds some shine to it. The colour was also really prominent,a nice shade and the dye itself was easy to apply meaning the actual colour turned out even throughout my hair.Overall it’s a really good gel haircolour that I plan to get more of!

    Stunning colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't have the guts to do my full head so only did the bottom section of my hair but oh wow I love the colour. It has a real depth to it and doesn't have any harsh red tones. I've only washed it once so I don't know how well it will fade but I am really happy with how the colour has turned out.

    Love this colour !

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so glad that I am able to get this colour of hair dye from L'ORÉAL at last. It's a gorgeous colour and has covered my grey roots completely. Easy to apply and has a pleasant fragrance. My hair has a lovely shine to it and the colour really shimmers in the sunshine.

    Standout from the crowd

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My absolute favourite hair colours are the L'Oréal Préférence Vivids range. I move between the reds and purples. This dark purple comes out perfectly on my mid brown hair and catches beautifully in the light. My hair always looks healthy and feels soft and protected.

    Lovely product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really easy to use hair colour. It’s not much different to most of the others on the market in terms of ease of use but I know it’s great quality and my hair won’t feel like straw after! It’s a fabulous vivid purply colour and my hair is shiny and soft.

    Vibrant Colour

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vibrant Colour, didn't feel too harsh and my hair looked shiny after. I have dark hair so the purple didn't show too much but you can see some in the light, I guess I would have got more noticeable colour if I lightened it first.

    Preference Permanent Gel Hair Dye

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't normally go for dark colours but decided to try this, it left my hair feeling strong and shinny and the colour was not as vibrant as I imagined it would be. It is easy to apply but ensure you were gloves. Smells lovely.

    Good colour!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product easy to use and the end result was a nice dark purple colour. Hair was also soft after conditioning. The only down side is that this product contains ammonia, I would prefer if it was ammonia-free.

    Shiny and colourful

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had held off dying my hair again as I have had bad experiences in the past with some brands. I gave this a go and I’m so so glad I did. This makes my hair look so shiny and vibrant, I cannot ask for more.

    One box jot enough

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have very thick curly hair so unfortunately one box was not enough. How ever I did give it to my sister how has thin hair and the colour was lovely on her dark brown hair. Nice smell and easy to use
