FAQs

How long will the L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 1U Universal Black color last?

This is a permanent hair dye, designed for long-lasting color. The vibrancy will gradually fade over several weeks, typically requiring a retouch every 4-6 weeks depending on hair growth and washing frequency.

Do I need to do a patch test before every use?

Yes, an allergy patch test must be performed 48 hours before each application, even if you have previously used this or other hair color products. Allergies can develop suddenly.

Can I use this product if I have chemically treated or permed hair?

It is generally advisable to wait at least two weeks after a perm, relaxer, or chemical straightening treatment before coloring your hair. Always consult the detailed instructions in the box for specific guidance.

What is the purpose of the gentle pH shampoo and nourishing mask?

The gentle pH shampoo helps to rinse out excess dye, close the hair cuticles, and rebalance the scalp's pH after coloring. The nourishing mask then deeply conditions and moisturizes the hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and supple.

How do I ensure I get 100% grey coverage?

For optimal grey coverage, ensure the product is applied thoroughly and evenly to all grey areas. Make sure to follow the recommended development time precisely. If you have resistant greys, ensure adequate saturation.

Is the Universal Reflect technology suitable for all skin tones?

The 'Universal Reflect' is designed to blend harmoniously with a wide range of natural hair tones, contributing to a natural-looking result rather than a flat, artificial shade. This approach aims for broader compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Color did not cover all grey hairs.

Ensure thorough and even application, especially in areas with concentrated greys. Verify that the processing time specified in the instructions was strictly followed.

Hair color appears too dark or too light.

The final color can be influenced by your initial hair color and condition. Future applications may require adjusting development time or choosing a different shade, referencing the shade guide on the packaging.

Hair feels dry or brittle after coloring.

Utilize the nourishing mask provided in the kit, leaving it on for the maximum recommended time. For ongoing care, incorporate deep conditioning treatments and color-safe moisturizing products into your routine.

Scalp irritation or itching during/after application.

Immediately rinse hair thoroughly. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Always perform a 48-hour patch test before each application to check for allergic reactions.

Stains on skin, clothes, or surfaces.

Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) to the hairline before application. Wear old clothes and use protective towels. Clean any spills or skin stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap.

  • Application Process: Requires careful and thorough application to ensure even coverage and avoid staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Read Instructions: Always read the enclosed instruction leaflet thoroughly before starting.
  2. Patch Test: Perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the product to a small area of skin, typically behind the ear, and monitor for any reaction.
  3. Prepare: Wear suitable gloves. Cover your shoulders with an old towel and have a timer ready.
  4. Application: Mix the coloring cream according to the instructions. Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working towards the ends.
  5. Develop: Allow the color to develop for the time specified in the instructions.
  6. Rinse & Shampoo: Rinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear. Follow with the gentle pH shampoo provided in the kit.
  7. Nourish: Apply the nourishing mask, leave it on for the recommended time, then rinse.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: This product is designed for adult use.
  • Gender: Suitable for Unisex use.
  • Hair Type: Compatible with most hair types, though color results can vary based on your natural hair color, texture, and porosity. It's particularly effective for those seeking full grey coverage.

Care

  • Post-Coloring: Immediately after coloring, use the included nourishing mask to help seal in color and restore hair health.
  • Ongoing Care: For long-lasting color and vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure, which can fade color.
  • Retouching: For root touch-ups, apply the color to the new growth first, then extend to the ends as directed in the product's specific instructions.
