The Blondes Extreme blondes collection has three light shades. The advantage of dyeing in such colors is that there is no need to bleach the hair before dyeing.

Women are quite satisfied with the palette of hair dye “Loreal Excellence”. Customer reviews say that among the available tones, you can choose some of the most suitable. Having experimented a little, they select the most successful color.
How to choose the right tone
User reviews say that sometimes the color in the picture of the package is not quite the same as the color of the hair on the head after dyeing. Therefore, one name is not enough to make the right choice. You need to see how it is presented on special L'Oreal booklets. These are artificial strands dyed in certain colors.
Choose the right color in natural daylight. After all, artificial light significantly distorts the color of the sample. The booklets are first light, then darker, and towards the end of the list - the darkest.
You need to know that sometimes a dark color emphasizes age and even makes the face visually older, while light tones "reduce" the number of years the hostess. Therefore, the paint “Loreal Excellence” is light brown. Reviews indicate that this tone visually makes a woman younger. He paints gray hair with quality. The color is pleasant, close to natural.
Choosing a shade for themselves, take into account the type of appearance, eye color. Blondes are suitable ash, golden, wheat shades. But if a blonde really wants to change her image and dramatically change her hair color, this is quite simple.
It’s not easy for a brunette to become a blonde. This will happen only after a few procedures. Perhaps it is better to choose closer tones: plum, blue-black, eggplant, red.
A brown-haired woman can easily both lighten her hair and make it darker. Red-haired girls can be repainted in dark, but it is better to choose a warm shade of chestnut, copper or pomegranate.
Girls with brown hair can choose a nut, caramel, chocolate shade. For those with a “warm” appearance, it is advisable to choose brown, chestnut shades, and those with a “cold” one should choose black or dark blond.
Hair treatment with Loreal Excels paint
Customer reviews claim that the paint equipment is thought out to the smallest detail. You do not have to look for any additional bowls and brushes.
The staining process is described in detail in the instructions in the box. Besides her there are:
- Paint in a tube.
- Developer Bottle.
- Balm.
- Protective serum.
- An applicator comb that helps evenly apply paint. It was developed by L'Oreal employees.
- Gloves to protect hands from paint.
Allergy test
Now many women have an allergic reaction to chemicals and care products. Maybe it’s also for hair dye. Therefore, before staining the entire array of hair, you need to do a simple allergy test.
A small amount of paint is applied to the wrist or other inconspicuous place. Wait about half an hour. If during this time the skin does not turn red, you can proceed to hair treatment.
Hair coloring process
Many people know that you can not wash your hair immediately before dyeing. Natural sebum protects the scalp from chemicals. But nobody wants to go untidy either. The minimum time for washing your hair is a day before the scheduled procedure.
Reviews on the hair dye “Loreal Excellence” (L'Oreal Excellence) confirm that any woman can cope with this procedure. First, the curls are treated with serum, which will protect against aggressive chemical elements. Apply it to all hair, especially to the ends. Gloves are already on hand at this time.
Then pour the cream paint into the dishes with the developer. Mix thoroughly, actively shaking it.
Put the comb-applicator on the bottle with the prepared composition and apply Loreal Excelance paint to the strands. User reviews say the comb helps to do this evenly. You need to start from the back of the head, first staining the roots. Then they move on, advancing to the forehead and temples.
The prepared composition is quite thick, so it is easy to apply to the hair and distribute evenly. Therefore, the color after dyeing is even.
They withstand paint on the head for the right time, then rinse off in the shower.
In order for the paint to stay on the hair for a long time, it must be fixed. This effect is promoted by treatment of hair with balsam. It contains ceramides, which positively affect the condition of the hair.
If for any reason the hair is not completely dyed, the defect can be corrected by aligning the shade. To do this, you just need to evenly distribute the paint along the entire length of the curls.
Express staining method
If someone finds it uncomfortable to mix cream paint and developer before staining, you can use the express method and buy the super-resistant Loreal Excel 10 paint.
The kit does not contain a bottle with a developer, because the product is already ready and is placed in a tube. Simply apply to the hair and even the length of the prepared Loreal Excelance paint along their length. Reviews indicate that the palette of this paint contains about ten classic tones. Therefore, it is possible to choose the right one. Buyers claim that the entire procedure for applying paint takes about 10 minutes.
