My hair turned black
I wished I have read the reviews before I dyed my hair. Exactly like everyone else my hair turned pitched black despite the box stating it is dark brown! I was hoping after a few wash it would be lighter but NO after 4 weeks still black.

WHY THE CHANGE?
Have been using 9.3 light golden blonde hair colouring at home for last 10 years. Everyone, including weekly hairdresser, would comment on how naturally lovely my hair looked. Bought 6 packs in new packaging, which insists: "new packaging, same product". NO - looked exactly like Ronald McDonald! Had to pay $120 to hairdresser to strip and colour over to something resembling natural colour. Have now got 5 packs I will never use.
You have lost a loyal customer, plus anyone else I can talk to.

Darker than expected and colour washed out
The colour was completely different to that shown on the box, and even allowing for photography and printing inks, it could not be described as a reasonable indication of the expected outcome. It was so much darker than the sample on the pack. I would describe it as black/brown with the emphasis on black, not dark ash blond. The black aspect was very present. My hair is dark blonde with a couple of centimetres of grey roots at the front hairline. However, fortunately for me, in this instance, the colour was noticeably lighter after the first wa...Read more
sh and was completely gone within 2 weeks of daily washing. So now I’m back to where I was with dark blond hair with grey roots. Complete waste of my time and money. Definitely won’t use L’Oreal products again.Purchased in January 2021.

Dark bluey grey mixed with brassy bits.
I usually use Loreal preference 9.1 but bought this colour because I thought it would have better grey coverage but still be the same colour. Big mistake. My hair is now darker with grey ends and other bits look brassy. I’m not sure what I can do to correct it. I have been colouring my hair myself for over 20 years and have never had anything like this happen.

colourless
l have been using Loreal Paris Excellence creme for 20 years. usually I goes for 6.54, 5.5 when I can find on special for about Aud 10 to 12. Recently I bought 2 new packaging 5.3.(golden brown) the colour turn out to be white. So I thought this is some kind of a new formula. So I waited for 30 Min. The colour didn't change at all. My hair did not get coloured. How do I get refund. I am very disappointed as I forget which shop that I bought it from.

9.1 L'oreal Preference Viking Light Ash Blonde
I am disappointed with the result of this colour on my hair... I have bleached hair with light ash brown regrowth so I was looking for a colour to deposit some golden tones and & lightening up the regrowth slightly.... Unfortunately my bleached hair turned out grey and dull - nothing like the colour on the box at all... I only left this colour on for 10 minutes as I noticed it was turning grey.... I think the picture on the box was misleading...

Very bad gray coverage
It is my 3rd try and after waiting an hour, my grays are still there. Very bad formula. Don't recommend. Wasre of money. At the same time one of the most expensive. Never ever buy again.

Turned out looking almost black
It came with a protective no wash conditioner. It turned out to look very dark brown, dull black. And it supposed to be a blonde shade. I was using Olia, but because I decided it did not cover grey hairs well, I will switch to this brand. Now I tried shade 5.3, I even put it on top of 6.3, but it still looks very dark. I wash my hair often in hopes to fade, but it did just a tiny bit. The dark is more intense where I had kept the color longer, sections where I started. Hope Loreal will take care of this brand as I have kept this color for years with Nutrrise 53, and NEVER had problems. I am very upset because of how I look now. Still Loreal remains my favorite brand for cosmetics, ( excluding this brand) because of the great results.

Great result!
Very good grey coverage and my hair is left in excellent condition. The conditioner provided is great. However as my husband does my hair colour for me he finds the gloves are very small!

Good product, horrible plastic gloves
Have used this product for as long as I can remember...many, many years. I have no complaints with the product itself, only the change to the horrible plastic gloves that Loreal changed to some time ago. They don't fit and are hard to put on and take off.

Avoid Loreal 1021 It doesn't work.
I used Loreal 1021 on my natural 4cm regrowth and brassy blonde ends as multiple times before with a great outcome, but it made no difference to my hair colour.

Beautiful colour.Instructions are easy to follow and would recommend this product 100%.
wash my hair twice weekly. No residue. Made my hair silky. Very pleased with end result. No product does not run. But always use an old towel round your shoulders.

Didn't work
It didn't work, I kept hair colour on for 40 mins. They need improve their formulation.i used two bottles of colour due to long length of my hair and my hairs were fully covered with colour. It didn't work for me - waste of money and time.
