[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not quite due for a hair day yet but I’m excited to try this out and I love that it’s easy to do at home and how easy they make it for you. I’m hoping the scent is mild and neutral and that this works well on my hair texture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L'Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in 2 Natural Black is a standout product. After several weeks of use, I found that the color remained as intense and shiny as the first application, which is often a challenge with other brands. The formula is enriched with a blend of conditioning agents that help to keep hair healthy and shiny, minimizing the damage that can occur during the coloring process. The application process was straightforward and user-friendly. The included instructions were clear, and the accompanying conditioner left my hair feeling soft and nourished post-coloring. I appreciated the pleasant scent of the product, which is often a concern with hair dyes.
Wow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with L'Oréal Paris Superior Preference in Natural Black! The color turned out deep, rich, and very natural-looking — not flat or harsh like some black dyes can be. It gave my hair a beautiful shine and left it feeling soft and healthy after coloring. The formula is easy to apply, doesn’t drip, and the smell is much more pleasant than other brands I've used. It truly resists fading for weeks, even with regular washing. If you want a salon-quality black hair color at home, this one is an amazing option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter really likes this brand. Itbdoes make her hair sof rather than brittle which is nice. The smell doesn't overpower either so that is really good. The color was very vibrant and shiny but did not seems to last as long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The package arrived secured. I love everything about a natural black color but this one was perfect. The scent wasn’t too bad and the application process was easy. The coverage was great especially on some gray areas.
Maybe user error?

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this hair dye! The black color came out rich, vibrant, and super shiny. It covered all my grays perfectly and left my hair soft. The application was easy, and the color has stayed beautiful even after several washes. Highly recommend if you want a deep, glossy black!

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This package came with everything needed to dye my hair. The application process was easy and quick. The scent wasn't overpowering. The Dark Brown covered my gray, and the shine was really nice. My hair texture was very soft right after the process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were super simple to follow. The box includes everything needed to color your hair. The gloves are so big that they can be difficult to work with without getting color on your skin. Definitely make sure you're in a very well ventilated area/room when using this product. I really liked the results. I thought the black looked very soft and I liked that it was a blue based black as that's what I prefer when coloring my hair black. The only reason I knocked off a couple of stars is I felt like it faded a lot quicker than other permanent black box dye that I've used in the past.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This L'Oréal hair color is everything. I received the color natural black, and the coverage is perfect. It had me saying, "What greys." The directions and packaging made the application go very smoothly. The scent left my hair smelling fresh, and the added boost of shine gave hair luxurious hair all from a box. It's definitely a new quick go-to when I need a color fix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Application process was super easy! L’Oreal has pretty much stayed true for several years. The natural black colored covered the grey hairs very well and made my hair feel super hydrated/silky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this hair dye did a nice job of covering my grays; however, I did pick a color that was supposed to be a cooler toned dark brown, and it did pull warm toned on my hair. It was very easy to use, which is always a major plus. I will definitely try again as it may have been user error. I regularly use L’Oreal’s root cover and it does a tremendous job of covering my resistant grays and always comes out a cool toned dark brown which is my preference. The conditioner included gives a nice shine. Overall, You can’t be the price and I think it’s a great option if you color at home or need a good option in between salon visits.
Good color but fades!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: This hair dye left a good rich color with a healthy shine. Cons: It unfortunately fades quickly. It also was very thin, causing it to splash around. It permanently stained everything it touched, including the wall. Other colors I've used were able to be cleaned easily while still wet.
