L'oreal Excellence Hicolor, Copper Highlights, 1.2 ounce

I studied the reviews and a lot of people never said what color their hair was originally or if they had grey or how often they do their roots- SO…I was sick of the nightmare- I have super straight hair and it is originally dark brown/almost black (if I dye it black people think it’s natural!) and I’ve been getting grays since I was a teenager. My hair also grows FAST, and I need to cut my bangs once a week! So one day I was feeling depressed about my hair bc I had gone to a salon just a minute before & now it was mega pink but already my usual black & white roots were coming in! In desperation I Googled Fashion Color for graying hair/ Dark hair and the first thing that popped up was THIS BRANS of reds! I like the UNNATURAL red colors (for now) but was told no permanent “fashion colors” exist by the PROS! (Oh but they DO!! Here’s one right here!) I used Magenta once that time I ordered it and now, once a week I do the roots; I read specifically that to cover grays/fade a bunch of very dark hair that you’d use 30 developer (20 if your hair iw fragile & use Age Beautiful or a brand called Silk!) and the permanent dye mix in your most obvious roots only (at the part, the sides, beneath bangs) and leave on 35 minutes. You can actually, w this color- I know they say you can’, but you can! You can open it up and use only half the color w half the recommended amt of developer (1.2 oz!) & then put the lid back on and put it in an air tight container! The next time you go to use it, it’s FINE! Shampoo your hair w Clenditioner (I got it that here too- it comes in a big variety of colors, smells amazing & gives your already amazing, head exploding color an extra POP! Everyone will ask you HOW you got your color! So I’m telling you- if you have very dark hair w some or even a LOT of grey in it (bc grey is tougher to color than black, as some people know!) THIS IS HOW! And you may not have to do it every week! I do bc I’m a freak, my hair is super straight and grows 100 miles an hour but if your hair grows more slowly- you don’t need to dye your whole head! And if you ever wondered how famous people NEVER have their roots showing? Ever? Now you know (except they don’t get their own hands or bathrooms dirty and have a team of experts following them around- I imagine!)! I will try to include a pic of my current hair but this is my first review where I’ve done that & I should have one to show you! This dye is the bees knees, people!

This product works wonders on dark hair

This is the best hair dye for me. From dark in one level.

I decided to try this as an alternative to my usual bleach + Adore dye routine. Used it on totally fresh, natural black 4c roots as well as on my pre-lightened ends. Used 30 volume developer for about 30-40 minutes in two separate sessions. It lifted my hair a few shades and deposited a very deep, cool-toned burgundy red. Two tubes were more than enough for me, but I have fine hair.I prefer my hair a bit brighter and warmer-toned so I wasn't happy with the lift or color (probably should've gone with Copper). In normal, indoor lighting it didn't look very impressive, but it was definitely more noticeable in the sun. If you have black natural hair and are looking for a subtle change, this could be a good option for you! But if you're looking for a more dramatic lift, just bleach it bby.Damage-wise, I found this to be pretty gentle. It's still a chemical dye so my curls loosened a little bit, but it was definitely less damaging than straight bleach.Also, you're thinking about putting bleach over this dye at any point, be VERY careful. I bleached my roots recently and attempted to bleach over the dark burgundy - it hardly lifted! Make sure you let your stylist know you've used box dye if you decide to do anything professionally!pics are after TWO dying sessions, natural dyed roots on top, pre-bleached ends on bottom!

I dye my hair black, so whenever I do a fun color my roots grow out fairly quickly. I hate having to rebleach them and tend to just let them grow out or go back to black. I tried this copper out as it said it was for dark hair.. and um.. what dark roots?!?!? My natural near black hair went full copper. I also love that it's just the color in the tube, so I can mix just a little up with some developer and not waste the whole thing in one go. I used half the tune and it was too much! So now I know I only need maybe a quarter of a tube to redo the whole front price of my hair. I still have half a tube left. Will defintiely purchase again.

To save money on this salon, I like to dye my own hair fortunately my wife’s best friend is a hairstylist and she taught me how to mix the hair products s properly.Number one I find that this is a natural looking color. Some of the other colors are a little too unnatural looking. Also I find that I can go at least six weeks before having to dye my hair again if you get blonde shampoo and conditioner that will extend the life of the color
