I was bored so what better way to fill half an hour or so than colouring my hair :oP About a month ago I recieved some vouchers for money off L'Oreal products, and after much umming and arhing at the shelves in Asda packed with a multitude of colours, I decided it was time to go drastic and get rid of my blonde enhanced locks and go for nice warm dark brown hair. So Mahogany Brown was taken home and put away on a shelf until I felt the time was ready. A few weekends ago was the time and I was ready. So I carefully opened my little box of goodies to see what mess I could make of my hair. The contents are really quite ...  Read the complete review

It may come as a great surprise to those of you that know me, that I'm not actually a natural blonde...ho hum!! But after developing M.E./CFS, and an inability to come out with sentences that made any sort of sense at all, most of my pals suggested that I go blonde so at least I would have an excuse for sounding a little dumb at times!! :O) (Apologies to all intelligent blondes everywhere, didn't mean it!!! Gulp!!). Additionally, the M.E. had an effect on the colour of my skin too, it became paler than white as I gleaned when my doctor cheerfully pointed out to me, 'You have prison cell pallor my dear'. I wanted to point out that he was no oil ...  Read the complete review

~ BACKGROUND INFO - WHY DID I BUY? ~ I regularly get my hair professionally coloured at a local salon, however the price of having this process carried out has increased recently. To make matters worse, my shoulder-length hair grows at an incredible rate, with any greys and unsightly roots start to appear about ten days after having the colouring treatment carried out due to the sheer speed of my hairs' growth. The last few times I have visited my salon I have had little change left over from £60, so it was starting to become apparent that I was going to need to invest in a home-dye kit to 'touch up' my roots at home, to try and prolong the time ...  Read the complete review

~ THE HAIR COLOUR ~ The hair dye is made by L'Oreal Paris and is shade 01 which is Lightest, natural blonde. The hair dye is new and is part of the blonde supreme range.

This product is not recommended for use on dark brown or black hair, but can be used on other hair colours such ...  Read the complete review

I am currently sat with my L'Oreal Excellence crème hair dye on my head. I have it brushed up in a troll like style while I wait the 30 minutes for it to develop. I am using number 4 Natural Dark Brown. In Asda this was priced at £5.00; moderately priced amongst the other hair dyes. The most expensive hair dyes at the minute are the ones that develop in ten minutes. From previous experience; these take a lot longer and so find them a waste of money. The Excellence crème offer much better value for money. Luckily for me, I picked this box up for £3.50. It was on the discounted aisle because the box was all crushed. I checked that all the bottles and bits were located ...  Read the complete review
