FAQs

How long does the colour typically last?

L'Oreal Paris Excellence Cool Creme is designed to deliver natural radiant colour that lasts for up to 8 weeks.

Is a patch test really necessary every time I colour my hair?

Yes, it is crucial to perform a patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you have used hair colour products before. Allergic reactions can develop suddenly.

Can this product cover grey hair completely?

Yes, L'Oreal Paris Excellence Cool Creme provides up to 100% grey coverage for a uniform and natural-looking result.

Is this hair dye suitable for all hair types?

Yes, the non-drip crème formula is suitable for all hair types, providing a consistent application experience.

What is included in the L'Oreal Paris Excellence Cool Creme kit?

Each kit typically includes 1x caring colouring cream & developer, 1x caring scalp shampoo, 1x caring lightweight mask, and 1x comb applicator.

How long should I leave the hair dye on my hair?

The recommended processing time is typically under 30 minutes. Always refer to the specific instructions provided in your product box for exact timing to ensure optimal results and hair health.

Can I store leftover mixed product for later use?

No, once the colouring cream and developer are mixed, the product should be used immediately. Dispose of any unused mixed product safely, as it loses effectiveness and can be unstable.

Troubleshooting

Allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling) after application

This is why the patch test 48 hours prior is critical. If you experience a reaction during or after application, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention promptly.

Colour is uneven or patchy

Ensure even saturation during application. Use the comb applicator provided to distribute the product uniformly from roots to ends. For very thick or long hair, divide it into smaller, manageable sections.

Colour is not as expected or too dark/light

The final colour can be influenced by your hair's natural shade, porosity, and previous treatments. Always follow the processing time precisely. If too light, it may not have processed long enough. If too dark, it might have been left on too long or your hair absorbed more pigment than anticipated.

Hair feels dry or brittle after colouring

The Excellence Cool Creme formula is designed to be nourishing, but permanent colouring can still be drying. Ensure you use the provided Caring Lightweight Mask after rinsing, as it helps restore moisture. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine weekly.

Skin staining around the hairline or neck

Apply a barrier cream (e.g., petroleum jelly) to your hairline, ears, and neck before application. If staining occurs, gently wipe immediately with a damp cloth or a small amount of shampoo on cotton wool. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Comprehensive Care: The Triple Care regime ensures hair is nourished and protected during and after colouring.
Strengthens Hair: Pro-Keratin and Ceramide help reduce hair breakage, leaving hair feeling stronger and silkier.
Excellent Grey Coverage: Reliably covers up to 100% of grey hairs.
Convenient Home Application: Easy-to-use, non-drip formula with a comb applicator for precise results at home.
Quick Process: Achieve desired colour in less than 30 minutes.
Vibrant, Long-Lasting Colour: Delivers natural radiant colour that lasts up to 8 weeks.

Cons

Patch Test Required: Demands a mandatory 48-hour patch test before each use, which can delay application.
Permanent Colour: Once applied, the colour is permanent and cannot be easily removed or changed.
Potential for Allergic Reaction: Despite the patch test, some individuals may still experience sensitivity, though the test significantly reduces risk.
Application Learning Curve: While designed for home use, achieving perfect, even coverage may require practice, especially for first-time users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Before you begin, ensure you have read all instructions thoroughly and completed a mandatory patch test 48 hours prior to use. This is crucial to detect any potential allergic reactions.

Preparation: Put on the provided gloves. Protect your clothing and surrounding surfaces. Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining.
Mixing: Pour the entire contents of the colouring cream into the developer bottle. Close the bottle cap securely.
Mixing: Shake the developer bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds until the mixture is uniform and completely blended.
Application: Immediately after mixing, twist off the applicator tip. You can either use the standard nozzle or attach the comb applicator for more precise distribution, especially beneficial for roots or longer hair.

Compatibility

Hair Types: The non-drip crème formula is suitable for all hair types.
Previous Colour: This product is a permanent dye. If your hair has been previously coloured, particularly with dark or very light shades, consult the included instructions for specific guidance.

Care

During Colouring:

Apply Colour: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working your way through to the ends. Ensure even saturation for best results.
Process: Leave the colour on for the recommended time as specified in the instruction leaflet (typically under 30 minutes). Do not exceed the maximum processing time.
Rinse: Once the processing time is complete, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and gently massage. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Avoid getting the product into your eyes.

Post-Colouring Care:

Shampoo: Apply the Caring Scalp Shampoo included in the kit. Gently massage into your scalp and hair, then rinse thoroughly. This helps cleanse the scalp and hair, removing excess dye.
Condition: Apply the Caring Lightweight Mask from the kit. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually 2-3 minutes) to nourish and condition your hair, leaving it soft and shiny.
Regular Maintenance: To maintain your colour's vibrancy and hair health, use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners in between colour applications.
