L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Color + Shine System, 7 Dark Blonde (Packaging May Vary)

No ash tone at all, plain light brown color. Waisted money!

شعري سقط حسبي الله فيكم

This is my go to product, I love how easy it is to use it, how good it covers some of the grey hair that I have, how naturally it fades and that it looks almost exactly like my hair used to look when I was younger 😅 It does dry hair a bit, so I’m using conditioner all the time, but it’s totally worth it. Love-love-love this product 🥰🥰🥰

This hair color leaves your hair shiny and lasts a long time compared to most hair colors.

Love the color. Easy to use.

So happy to find it!

Just used the 5CB Medium Chestnut Brown last night and it’s not exactly the color I wanted but I knew the risk I was taking going in and I don’t hate it. The formula for this is runny and does drip, so watch out for those white counters and rugs. The color result is redder than I wanted but the box does indicate it can pull red for redheads so that’s on me, I should’ve gone for a fully cool toned brown. Perhaps this was due more to the quality of my sun bleached hair and general dryness, but it was striking during application how much my hair texture became like straw. I expected to follow up with my usual hair repair methods (Amika RX) but to my surprise, the provided conditioner more than restored the texture to a soft state. Attached some pictures with side by sides, befores on the left. I think I’ll prefer the color in a week or two when it inevitably fades a shade. I have a handful of grays toward the crown and this fully covered those, however, I can’t yet attest to longevity of the coverage.**Update**I used and reviewed this dye in October, it is now December and I have added an additional update picture (roughly 2.5 to 3 months after application). I was correct that the faded shade is what I’m most happy with, especially once the ends lightened up, which happened probably by week 3 or 4. Gray coverage is excellent though my growth seems to already be showing so I’m spotting silvers again. Red tone is lasting very well and I’m happy, just gotta find some sort of root touch up now. Overall a recommend for the lasting color, but I will mention that my hair is much much dryer over the last couple months than usual - I feel my hair usually “bounces back” after a dye (I tend to dye my hair once or twice a year only) and after this box it did not. So if your hair is chemically treated or severely damaged, I would look for a potentially gentler dye formula if there is such a thing. I am using deep conditioner treatments or a quality conditioner in the shower, but what seems to help most is a post shower cocktail: light spritz of Pacifica Silk Rice detangle spray, dime sized amount of JVN instant repair mask, a pump and a half of JVN blowout styling milk, and then the next day or morning 3-4 drops of the JVN nourishing shine drops (I also use Ouai hair oil but I’ve run out - and occasionally IGK mistress hydrating balm on the ends and before I ran out I’d frequently use the IGK Antisocial overnight dry mask which I can’t recommend enough lol)Best of luck to everyone on their hair journey :)
