Troubleshooting
Colour appears uneven or patchy
Ensure you apply the colour thoroughly and evenly from roots to ends, sectioning your hair can help. Make sure all hair is saturated with the product. If grey hair is a concern, apply to those areas first.
Colour is not as vibrant or intense as expected
Ensure you allowed the colour to develop for the full recommended time as per the packet instructions. Development time is crucial for colour intensity. Also, ensure even application.
Skin irritation or allergic reaction post-application
Stop use immediately and rinse thoroughly. Always perform the mandatory patch test 48 hours before each use to identify potential allergic reactions. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
Stains on skin or surfaces after colouring
Before applying, use a barrier cream around your hairline, ears, and neck. Work in a protected area and immediately wipe any accidental splashes from skin or surfaces with a damp cloth or a small amount of toner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Read Instructions Thoroughly: Before opening any products, read the entire instruction leaflet provided in the box. This contains vital information, including specific timing and safety warnings.
- Perform Patch Test: 48 hours before each use, apply a small amount of the unmixed product (following the specific instructions in the leaflet) to a discreet area of your skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner elbow. This is a critical step to check for allergic reactions. Do not proceed with colouring if any reaction occurs.
- Prepare Your Area: Cover nearby surfaces, wear old clothes, and have a towel handy to protect from spills.
- Protect Skin: Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining.
- Wear Gloves: Always wear the protective gloves provided when handling the colour mixture.
Compatibility
- Age Group: This product is suitable for adults.
- Hair Type: Generally compatible with most hair types. However, if you have recently permed, relaxed, or straightened your hair, wait at least two weeks before colouring.
- Previous Colour: If you have recently used henna or a progressive colour, consult the instruction leaflet for specific guidance as this may affect the final colour result.
Care
- Post-Colour Treatment: Always use the included post-colour shampoo and conditioner immediately after rinsing the colour to seal in the shade and provide nourishment.
- Colour Maintenance: To help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your red colour, consider using colour-safe shampoos and conditioners in your regular hair care routine. (Info needed: Check if L'Oreal has specific recommendations for colour-safe products within the Excellence range).
- Limit Washing: Washing your hair less frequently can help preserve colour. Use dry shampoo between washes if needed.
- Protect from Heat & Sun: Excessive heat styling and prolonged sun exposure can fade hair colour. Use heat protectant sprays and consider hats or UV protection for your hair.
