L'Oreal Excellence Creme - Pro Keratin

I just happily dyed my hair with my favorite brand to use at home, L'Oreal Excellence. I've tried many brands before such as Garnier, Revlon, Liese, and many more, but so far none have the uniqueness and quality such as L'Oreal. After use the hair feels thicker, richer in color and vibrant. The score I gave them always higher than other brand. I love how deep the color goes and perfect of you like dark color or a product that care more to the hair.

I choose Purple Brown this time since my previous color is going lighter and lighter and gives me an unhealthy look on my hair, so now I choose a darker shade with a purple touch. Do take notice that L'Oreal is now with pro-keratin which is beneficial to the hair strand.

Make sure you do read all the precaution, safety instruction, skin allergy test, and all things needed to prepare the process. For me I always use ugly old t-shirt, towel, used newspaper and all those to use on my body and surround me, to protect from unwanted coloring everywhere.

Near the hairline I use some lotion/vaseline/body butter or body cream so if the coloring products touch the area it can easily be clean and not stained here and there.

5 important stuff from protective Pre-Color serums, Gloves, hair coloring products (3 and 4 mixed together), and 5. Conditioner to be used after the hair coloring process. My product also comes with a comb for easier application.

I applied the pre-color serum on my hair strands that far away from the roots, especially on those ends. Christopher Robin, L'Oreal Paris Expert Colorist said," Always use the Protective Pre-Color Serum, which conditions lengths and dry-ends, intensely nourishes and guarantees an even result without a block-color effect."

After leaving the pre-color serum for about 5 minutes by reading the instruction, preparing my gloves and shower cap, now I'm ready for coloring my hair. Mixed Creme Developer and Creme Colorant that enriched with pro-keratin. Shake it before breaking the tip or change into comb applicator.

Please do make sure your hair is comb and tidy before using the coloring since it will help with easier application. Messy hair also ensure tangles and uneven distribution.

The creme is thick and no drip at all, I've been using L'Oreal hair color for more than 10 years and happy that they keep improving the product, from packaging, application, nourishment, and many more.

Since I'm using it all by myself, I can't help by messing my neck on the back side, I will use it better when I have eyes on my back. After making sure all the parts are secure with colors I use the shower cap on the back so the hair can develop color in time and my clothes and neck protected from further stain. Waiting for the color to be developed I clean my ears, neck and hairlines.

After about 40 minutes I use a bit of warm water to massage them thoroughly to dilute the colorant mixture, it also helps rinsing it better.

After rinsing until the water run clear, I use the conditioner, and put another shower cap on for 2 minutes. So the conditioner can work undisturbed while I clean my other part of my body.

The conditioner is smooth but stay away from the roots. It makes the hair soft and silky but makes roots oily. This one tube can last for 2-3 application depends on your hair length.

Actually I'm really lazy today and so not in the mood but before and after picture is still important to let you all see the result. My hair color is now darker, shinier, even out, looks healthier, thicker, and best of all I love it. ✿♥‿♥✿

When under the sun the purplish color will come out, but when indoor it look so dark, for me that's another bonus point.


Tips on after care:
Do not swim for the next 48 hours to a week, which I did before and use the shampoo for swimming to remove the chlorine and yep, all my hair color gone as well.

Using shampoo and hair product specifically for colored hair also help the color to stay in, vibrant and cared.
