Didn’t work at all

published

Did not change the colour of my hair at all and I used it exactly as instructed, my hair naturally is a darker blonde so it should have worked, it was a complete waste of money

Awful

published

I have my hair professionally coloured -2shades of blonde and one brown every six weeks. Due to lockdown I have bad roots - fancied a temp change so tried Black Cherry thinking it would come out pinkish on the blonde bits. Strangely it did come out very dark in places and brown in others. Hair looks horribly dull though and I can hardly get a brush through it. V disappointing as I've used Castings in the best with lovely results- won't be using it again:(

Great results

published

The colour lasts in tone for 5 to 6 weeks.
I wash my hair three times a week.
It will stain if you do not emosify the hairline when washing it. I put paw paw ointment on my hairline to prevent staining.

Didn’t work well

published

I used this on my hair, kept it for 25 minutes to be sure it would work and was so disappointed by the result. Didn’t work well at all. It didn’t cover the grey areas and I am never wasting my money on it again.

Red to Dark Brown

published

I recently dyed my red hair with 645 to even out some brassy roots which resulted from stripping out a previous colour. I have used this colour previously and for this exact same purpose. This new formula turned my red hair a warm but dark brown. This product is completely ridiculous and totally misleading.

Uselessly

published

It is not the same colour as it shows on the box and left my hair feeling dry and knotty. Has quite a bright red colour on the box, turns out really dark brown with a very slight red tinge.

Why do I have to buy it cheaper online?

published

1. I can buy this product online for $8.00 at Woolworths or Coles
2. I dont like to shop online prefer the in store experience
3. So therefore I feel discriminated against
Why dont the store offer shoppers like me the same discount?

Only buy when on special $8.00 or $16.00 normal price

Been using this product for many years ...looks like I will have to change

I am a brunette but always use the Dark Blonde as it makes my hair brown -- always use lighter than you want to be

published

I want to know WHY the dickens do L'Oreal use the tiny bit of ring plastic AS WELL as the top of the tube as we are supposed to be doing away with such things because of critters dying because of these small bits of plastic and especially rings -- what's wrong with the original screw top with a sharp point and do away with the 'ring'

Don’t do it!

published

I used amber expecting a copper red colour (like on the box) and ended up with a dark-ish brown that had a slight red tinge. I put it over my natural strawberry blonde hair. I really hope it washes out quickly. Definitely not the colour I was expecting.

Texture of the colourant!

published

I have been using this colour for many years and used to be fine, but my last 4-5 colours have not mixed up properly. The paste seems off! Not happy with the quality of the products quality!
Never had a problem with the colour shade though!
