L'OREAL PARIS Superior Preference Dream Blonde Hair Color, 10G - 9A Light Ash Blonde 1 Count

Now my hair become orange. It's totally waste of money

After bleaching my bright red hair and toning it with Wella T18 it still needed something to even out the colour. I waited a week and used this colour. It worked perfectly. No brassyness or orange tones. Beautiful!

Jadore la couleur!!

I know I should have listened to the reviews but I didn't. Thankfully I did a strand test, it did not do a thing. Don't buy this, waste of money.

Just used the 5CB Medium Chestnut Brown last night and it’s not exactly the color I wanted but I knew the risk I was taking going in and I don’t hate it. The formula for this is runny and does drip, so watch out for those white counters and rugs. The color result is redder than I wanted but the box does indicate it can pull red for redheads so that’s on me, I should’ve gone for a fully cool toned brown. Perhaps this was due more to the quality of my sun bleached hair and general dryness, but it was striking during application how much my hair texture became like straw. I expected to follow up with my usual hair repair methods (Amika RX) but to my surprise, the provided conditioner more than restored the texture to a soft state. Attached some pictures with side by sides, befores on the left. I think I’ll prefer the color in a week or two when it inevitably fades a shade. I have a handful of grays toward the crown and this fully covered those, however, I can’t yet attest to longevity of the coverage. **Update** I used and reviewed this dye in October, it is now December and I have added an additional update picture (roughly 2.5 to 3 months after application). I was correct that the faded shade is what I’m most happy with, especially once the ends lightened up, which happened probably by week 3 or 4. Gray coverage is excellent though my growth seems to already be showing so I’m spotting silvers again. Red tone is lasting very well and I’m happy, just gotta find some sort of root touch up now. Overall a recommend for the lasting color, but I will mention that my hair is much much dryer over the last couple months than usual - I feel my hair usually “bounces back” after a dye (I tend to dye my hair once or twice a year only) and after this box it did not. So if your hair is chemically treated or severely damaged, I would look for a potentially gentler dye formula if there is such a thing. I am using deep conditioner treatments or a quality conditioner in the shower, but what seems to help most is a post shower cocktail: light spritz of Pacifica Silk Rice detangle spray, dime sized amount of JVN instant repair mask, a pump and a half of JVN blowout styling milk, and then the next day or morning 3-4 drops of the JVN nourishing shine drops (I also use Ouai hair oil but I’ve run out - and occasionally IGK mistress hydrating balm on the ends and before I ran out I’d frequently use the IGK Antisocial overnight dry mask which I can’t recommend enough lol) Best of luck to everyone on their hair journey :)

Okay, so... unusual review. My hair is brown, a very blah "mouse" brown. I wanted to give it more color and tried this. IT TURNED MY HAIR RED. My hair is RED. I was shocked and thought I must've done something wrong, but I've tried the same dye a few times now and it's still coming out red. That's the reason I removed a star, but I'm keeping it high because I love it! I have gotten so many compliments on it. I had a photoshoot recently, so I'm including a picture from that so you can see what I mean. The color really lasts. I've never looked at it and thought, "Ew, I need to redo this." I only do it because my roots are showing. If I could find a matching dye in just roots, I'd do it. It didn't come out like the box; it came out better. I love it, but be warned if you want the color on the box, you may not get it.
