I'm surprised at the bad reviews of this product, too! I used to use this many years ago when I dyed my hair red, using Cherry Cordial, and had great results with that. Recently I had been using...

I am a short haired dark ash blonde with greys interspersed. I have used the 7.1 kit twice and was pleased with results. First step is to lay down the darker colour and then apply streaks with...

For me, Coleur Experte was a false economy. The base was overly dark, and no matter how much I tried to convince myself the highlights were copper, they were just plain ol' orange. As Jennstar...

I usually use Excellence Creme (great product) but wanted to try highlights and am too frugal to pay $200 at the salon. So, I read all the bad reviews, but considered the good ones as well and...

I've used this product a lot of different times, though only with darker colors (5-6). I've had success with the color each and every time. The base tones do come out darker on my hair than the...

Why why why do I keep doing this to myself! Do not do your own highlights. Orange orange orange!!! You need to use toner over anything you try to lighten. I can lift my naturally dark hair (it...

I've tried this product twice. The first time was the box with reddish highlights on dark hair. The highlights were nonexistent. The most recent dying turned my hair ORANGE. It was a dark...

I used this in Toasted Coconut (can't remember the number) and it turned out great. I have used it before in Ginger Twist, and that one is nice, too. I understand why people don't like this...

I liked this product overall. I assume many people say the color comes out darker than expected because in the photo on the box, there are many, many more highlights on the model than I think any...

I have used this before in red tones but I thought that I would give it a try in the 5.3 Chocolate Macaroon (medium golden brown with blonde highlights.) I used the first part of the kit and got a...

I used this hair color in shade 3.5. Good points first: the base color was rich and glossy and after almost a month it still looks great. The conditioner was also really good. It's just too bad...

I actually really hated this product. I am really not a picky person but the base color did such a bad job of covering up my roots turning it that dreaded dark orangey color we have been hearing so...

I read a ton of reviews on this product before using it. I saw that there were good and bad reviews, but the good over-powered the bad and I went for it. The first part, coloring the base coat went...

I hated this. I used it a while back and I am still suffering the consequences. It was basically the "do it yourself" highlights that made my hair turn out crap. The pack comes with this flimsy...

This has to be one of the most over hyped products ever. I normally love just about anything L'Oreal makes, but not this time. $20 is a bit steep for drugstore hair dye, but is far less then one...
