I bought this as a natural light brown/dark blonde haired person. I followed the instructions to a tee. I now have orangey brown hair. The fumes during the application process about ended my bloodline but I would try again just to see if it was user error or the product itself

I had to stop halfway through application to go outside and reconnect with nature because the fumes were so strong. Even in my well ventilated bathroom. Pretty sure I caused generational brain damage. Worked super well and loved how the color turned out. Would prob buy again
Very watery and difficult to keep out of my eyes

I don’t know what you’ve done but I will no longer be buying your product. It is now so thin it runs down my face before I can work it into my roots. Parting my hair with one hand and squeezing your bottle with the other hand does not leave any way humanly possible to stop your thin watery product from running down my face. Boy does it sting when it gets into my eyes. Stop improving a product that was perfect to begin with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The biggest concern when dyeing hair is how to get the most accurate color. Understanding that, L'Oreal Paris Preference | PERMANENT Hair Color with Hi Impact Shine technology is applied to create shine and radiance for hair. Hair color can last for about 4-6 months or longer if you use shampoos and conditioners specifically for dyed hair. Even color coverage: Nano molecules cover the hair surface evenly, preventing patchiness. Helps your hair color to be as beautiful and even as possible. Fast hair color time: Helps you shorten the time to beautify your hair because the color comes out quite quickly and accurately. You can use it in combination with hair conditioner to get the fastest color possible. The nourishing ingredients in this hair dye penetrate deep into the hair roots, nourishing the hair from root to tip. Prevents dryness and damage caused by the ingredients in the dye. Hair after using the shampoo and conditioner included in the product is very soft, smooth and healthy. The accompanying kit is very complete, detailed, convenient, and even includes specialized gloves. Easy to do at home even if you are dyeing yourself for the first time. The scent is much milder than other hair dye products. In particular, the dye cream also covers the gray color of the hair to adjust the hair color as desired, regaining youth. No uncomfortable burning during the dyeing process, which is very necessary in a home dye. However, the amount of dye is not enough for those with long hair, a bit small! Reasonable price
Decent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair coloring product is decent, but when considering cost, the ranking certainly increases. It’s a cost effective way to get nice blonde hair. The scent isn’t wonderful but also isn’t the worst. The color accuracy is pretty good and it’s great that it doesn’t burn hair.
Good dye

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair dye made my hair super shiny. The black is very even and covered my previous color well. Hasn’t faded with many washes and still looks shiny
Nice dye!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting to go back to blonde for a while and this was the perfect shade for me. It was easy to apply and smelled great(for a hair dye). My hair feels fine after dying it and I think it turned out great. I would definitely recommend it if you're trying to go blonde.
One of the best store bought brands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have yet to find a hair color product that 100% covers my grays, but L'oreal is the closest thing to it. I've used L'oreal for many years, and it is a solid winner among color products. The smell is quite strong, but most hair dyes do have that strong scent. Overall, I'm very happy with the outcome of my hair.
shiny, good coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not my usual brand but I really do like the color and shine. The gel does not spread as much as its competitor. I did need to use the two boxes and still seemed to miss some areas. The smell was strong like other hair dyes.
Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using shades from this family as my original hair color is black and I do not want to damage my hair by drastically changing my hair color to light blonde. This is easy to use and I love the result. My hair is evenly colored, soft and brilliant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to @influenster and @lorealparis for this free product in exchange for my honest review. I love how my hair turned out. It feels healthy and shiny and has a solid color all around. It was extremely easy to apply and one box was enough. It took 25 minutes to develop and covered my gray hairs. It does have a strong smell so make sure to dye it in a ventilated area but I would definitely recommend this product. The conditioner left my hair really soft as well. @influenster #complimentary @lorealparis #lorealparishaircolor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use L’Oréal for many different things and hair coloring is one of them. It didn’t lighten my hair as much as I expected it to, giving the example pictures it showed on the box but it did lighten a bit. I would choose a bleach next time if I choose to go lighter but I will continue using L’Oréal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, this stunk horribly. I had the smell stuck in my nose for days. Now, after saying that, I was really pleasantly surprised how well this turned out. Coverage is wonderful. I don't have a lot of gray, but it did cover what I do have. The conditioner that they added with it left my hair super smooth and actually helped with frizz. The color is exactly what I have been trying to achieve. I am completely happy with this.
Conditioning and coverage!!! Great combo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It did cover my grays however alot of the color washed out and faded. Not sure how much I really like it but it was worth trying ! Maybe I needed another box as my hair is super thick and long.
