Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this hair dye truly ammonia-free?
Yes, L'Oreal Paris Excellence Universal Nudes is formulated without ammonia, providing a less pungent and potentially gentler coloring experience.
Does it effectively cover grey hair?
Yes, this product is designed to provide optimal grey coverage, ensuring a uniform and natural-looking result.
How long will the color last?
The L'Oreal Paris Excellence formula is designed for long-lasting color care, providing durable color that resists fading over time.
What's included in the hair dye kit?
Each pack includes one colouring cream, one developer cream, one post-colour shampoo, one post-colour conditioner, and one pair of protective gloves for a complete at-home coloring treatment.
Do I really need to do a patch test every time?
Yes, it is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every use of the product, even if you have used hair dye before. This helps to identify any potential new sensitivities.
Can I use this product if I have chemically treated hair (e.g., permed or relaxed)?
> Info needed: Consult the detailed instruction leaflet inside the product packaging for specific guidance on using the dye on chemically treated or previously colored hair. A strand test is often recommended in such cases.
How long should I leave the hair dye on?
The exact development time is specified in the instruction leaflet provided within the product packaging. Always follow these instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended time for optimal results and to avoid over-processing.
Troubleshooting
Color result is not as expected or looks uneven.
Ensure the colouring and developer creams were thoroughly mixed. Confirm even application, saturating all strands, especially grey areas. Verify the product was left on for the exact recommended development time. Hair porosity and existing color can affect the final shade; a strand test before full application can help predict results.
Scalp irritation or allergic reaction after application.
Immediately rinse hair and scalp thoroughly with water. Discontinue use. This emphasizes the critical importance of performing the 48-hour skin allergy patch test before every application to identify potential sensitivities and prevent severe reactions.
Hair feels dry or brittle after coloring.
Ensure you used the provided gentle post-colour caring shampoo and conditioner, leaving the conditioner on for the full recommended time. These products are specifically formulated to nourish hair after the coloring process. For ongoing care, use hydrating, color-safe hair products.
Grey hairs are not fully covered.
Confirm sufficient product was applied to the grey areas, ensuring complete saturation. Make sure the dye was left on for the maximum recommended development time. For very resistant greys, sometimes a slightly longer development time within the recommended range can be helpful, but do not exceed the maximum stated time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up for coloring is straightforward with the all-inclusive kit. Ensure you have an old towel, a timer, and access to a sink or shower. Read the entire instruction leaflet thoroughly before you begin.
Compatibility
This product is formulated for adults and is suitable for female users. It is designed for use on natural hair or hair that has been previously colored, but always perform a patch test. The `3U Dark Brown` shade is specifically formulated to deliver a dark brown result. Compatibility with other hair treatments (e.g., perms, relaxers) should be checked with a strand test or by consulting the detailed product leaflet.
Care
- Post-Color Care: Use the included nourishing shampoo and conditioner immediately after coloring to seal the cuticle, enhance shine, and nourish the hair.
- Long-Term Care: To maintain color vibrancy and hair health, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling, and protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure.
- Storage: Store the unused product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not store mixed product.
