Excellence permanent color

Start by considering how much gray coverage you need and the shade you want for a natural finish. These L’Oréal Excellence Creme options offer up to 100% gray coverage and a range of tones from dark blonde to ash blonde, including 6 Dark Blonde and 7.7 Honey Brown. For a cooler result, you might lean toward ash tones, while warmer browns suit natural warm looks. Pick a shade that aligns with your natural color and desired level of vibrancy.

The formula combines a colorant with a triple-care routine: coloring cream, a gentle shampoo, and a nourishing mask. It also includes Pro-Keratin, ceramide, and collagen to help care for hair during the coloring process and afterward. This combination aims to deliver long-lasting color while maintaining hair softness, which is highlighted across several shades offered in the range.

Shades like 6 Dark Blonde, 7 Blonde, and 7.7 Honey Brown are designed to provide strong gray coverage with a natural-looking finish. The 7.7 Honey Brown option, in particular, promotes a rich, long-lasting color while still blending smoothly with most natural bases for a seamless appearance.

Yes, these colors are designed for at-home use, but follow the enclosed leaflet and perform an allergy test 48 hours before coloring. This helps ensure you don’t react to the product before applying it to your hair. After mixing and applying, follow the recommended timing and rinsing instructions to achieve even coverage and minimize damage, then use the included care products to help lock in color.

The color finish is described as long lasting, so you can expect extended vibrancy between touch-ups when you follow the care steps included in the kit. Regular conditioning and using a color-safe shampoo and mask helps maintain the shade and shine for as long as possible, especially when you choose a shade that complements your natural undertones.

For cool undertones, ash-toned shades like 7.1 Ash Blonde offer a cooler, silvery finish, while for warm undertones, honey brown like 7.7 Honey Brown or lighter browns like 6 Dark Blonde provide a more natural match. Selecting a shade that aligns with your undertone helps ensure the final result looks harmonious with your skin and eye color.
