So you're looking at L'Oreal Paris Excellence Creme in Light Brown, and honestly? It's a solid choice. This shade gives you that rich, dimensional brown that actually looks natural – not flat or fake. What's cool is they've got this triple protection thing going on, so you're not just coloring your hair, you're actually treating it at the same time.
Here's the deal with the color: it works with what you've already got. If you're covering grays, this Light Brown 5.0 will come out a bit lighter on those silver strands than on your regular hair, which actually helps everything blend together naturally. And yeah, it covers grays completely – we're talking 100% coverage here.
The kit comes with everything you need: a protective serum, the color cream, and a conditioning treatment that's actually pretty nice. Your hair stays looking fresh and shiny for about six weeks, which is longer than a lot of other box dyes. Whether you're dealing with grays, dull color, or just want to switch things up, this gets the job done without frying your hair.
Application's pretty straightforward – mix the cream and developer together, work it through from roots to ends, let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse. Nothing complicated, and you'll see the difference right away.
