“Excellent 10 out of 10”
Written on: 20/12/2012 by Adi312006
Very pleased with this product. Quick, easy good colour. I used chocolate brown. Problem I have is finding a shop who sells it! Would thoroughly recommend it! Today picked up a couple in Boots but Superdrug seem to have stopped selling it in store. Likewise Sainsburys. (read more)
“patchy, darker colour”
Written on: 14/05/2012
The colour i picked was supposed to be light amber brown, it has come out the darkest of browns and very patchy. The application is fairly easy although ensure you section your hair or it will miss bits (happened to a friend). it only takes 10 mins which is about as long as it takes to apply, the conditioner is great and my hair is fairly soft. Overall i need to get my hair stripped as its patchy and so dark i look ill. Wouldn't reccomend it and i'm in the process of complaining to the... (read more)

I been dyeing my hair for at list 15 years as i have grey almost all over. i have use saloon type dyes and colours dyes such at loreal excell 10. which to my surprice last year i tried this one in 5.3 chestnut brown and it covers all my grey roots. All other branded dyes i have use in the past dye the grey but fades in one wash to a very paler colour. I have at present dark brown hair.

“Not as easy to time! 10 mins is stupid!”
Written on: 20/12/2011 by katedalby
I tried this excell 10 as I like every female hates the job of dying your own hair and the time it takes but when hair stylists charge £80 plus what choice do you have? I had used paris excellence which took longer but was brilliant! This time - took the 10min one but in honesty - anyone that can do their roots plus dyed shoulder length longer growth which has been coloured before within 5 mins per 2 differentsections should be a hairdresser theirselves!! As a result - despite following the... (read more)

Written on: 22/04/2011
i used to have platinum blonde hair..i used number 7 natural dark blonde..i used this as a temporary colour because i didnt want to go from platinum blonde hair to a dark brown/red colour in just one go.
As soon as i put on the dye it started turning a light brown.
my hair is now a light "mousy" brown.
this product is good if you want to darken your hair fast but not good if you want to go the specific colour on the box.

Written on: 03/04/2011
I've been trying for ages to find a natural brown hair colour, over the counter, which has staying power. Stumbled across Excell 10 Natural Brown and gave it a try. It turned out a little darker than expected, but to be fair, the packet did forewarn if you leave it in longer than 10 mins, which I did. Coverage was excellent, and after a week or so (I wash my hair daily) the colour settled to a perfect natural brown, with no dreaded red or gold highlights. The result is much better than...

I used loreal excell 10, it was the first time dying my hair from my natural dark blonde hair colour to a Brown 5.0. it worked really well, i was in a bit of a rush to apply it as i heard the longer you leave it in the darker it goes (which is true). It turend out to be a bit darker than what the packet said but i really like it and would def use it again. (read more)

Written on: 05/03/2011 by silverscreen (1 review written)
I have been using this product for about 2 years now. It has never let me down. It does what it says on the box, covers the grey in my usually brown hair to a very natural shade of medium brown. Most people I know don't even realise that I dye my hair! It only takes 10 minutes and is very easy to use. It is a little more expensive than other brands, but it's usually on special somewhere, so I stock up if it's on offer for a good price. (read more)

I was dyeing my hair for the first time and because i would look cat(horrible) with black or blond(e?) hair i opted for a nice shade of red. . . I bought L'Oreal Excell 10 in shade 5.56(Cherry Red) and was dying it in a sink in a pub for charity. It was really easy to mix and apply and after i dried my hair i didnt really notice a difference for a bit(this was either it developing further or bad lighting)
i thought it was great! colour came out brilliant. just as it was on the box(like the...

Written on: 31/01/2011
I used excell 6 which is a natural light brown. Apart from it isn't, it's very very dark. I've dyed my hair every coupleof weeks or so for years without a problem but got a bit lazy with 30 min development time of normal colours so switched to this product to save time.
I noticed after a few applications that the roots had taken a much darker colour than the lengths of my hair. So now it's growing out and I'm left with a thick dark band of colour and lighter roots. It looks really...

My hair is a dark blond and I usually give it some shine with soft sunkissed highlights and a bath of color. I've already used many brands of home hair dye and never had a bad experience - until I decided and tried Excell10! Not only the very few whites are more evident but also the overall colour of my hair darkened and stained... I used the 7.13 colour that is 2 tones under the usual colour of my hair. The 10 minutes pose was respect, the rinse and seal was nicely done, but... the hair is... (read more)

Ive recently used this for the first time and wont be buying it again. I used a chocolate dark brown colour and every time I have washed my hair since the colour has washed out, even using a very mild shampoo. So just 2 weeks later my hair is much lighter than the original colour. Also the colour result was uneven ie my roots are brown/red whereas the mid-lengths and ends are black/red. Not impressed.

I bought this "Magnetic Black" shade that Eva Longoria Promotes and was TRULY dissapointed cause i left it like 12 minutes and my lighter roots are still visible (naturally dark brown), and i didnt see any change in the color of the rest of the hair, its like it did nothing to it, no damage, but no black color either. I must buy another one to cover my brown roots. Nice smell though, but who cares about the smell if it left the hair like you aplyed nothing to it? Waste of Money! (too bad, i... (read more)

Written on: 07/10/2010
I used to have blonde hair, and had it dyed professionally when I changed to brunette. I had it dyed professionally again about 4 months ago but the colour was starting to go a little coppery. I decided to use L'Oreal Excell 10 as my flatmate recommended it. She did it for me and i found the coverage great, no patches or roots, and it also left my hair smelling nice and in good condition. HOWEVER, and this seems to be a common problem, i bought golden brown and my hair turned out virtually... (read more)

I have used this Hair colour for the last year and the first time I used it I got a Dark brown which was too dark for me but after a few washes it settled down so the next time I got the medium brown and it was lovely. My Hair is soft and shiny. Reading the other reviews I can only think that their hair was in poor condition to start with? Make sure you wash your hair the day before you use the dye and do not use any products, i.e Hairspray, serum etc as this can make the colour go on... (read more)

I used Excell 10 in Chocolate Brown (5.15) for the first time at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I followed all the instructions to the letter and my hair turned out a rich dark brown, and I am happy with it. It was easy to follow and apply, plus it smelt nice too :)
The only criticism I have is that during the ten minute developing time the dye looked purple on my hair which made me slightly panicky... But it wasn't a problem as the purple had gone completely after...

I used this to dye my hair for the very first time ever. I chose the Natural Brown (5) and left it on for about 8 minutes. It coloured my very grey hair completely and is a lovely medium-dark brown with very slight hint of red. It was easy to use and my hair seems to be in fantastic condition afterwards as well.

I bought the natural dark brown colour last week as it was on special offer. After leaving it for 10 mins my hair turned black. I got some head and shoulders and this has helped to fade the colour but unfortunately it now looks a bit patchy so I have had to go and buy my regular, safe dye - Nice and Easy in natural dark brown.
I will never stray away from this EVER AGAIN!!

I am using now for five months L'Oreal Excell chocolate chestnut brown 5.15, it's worth it.
First time when i dyed my hair it turned really dark but that is because my hairstylist haven't read instructions correctly. It took a while to loose the black shine and to gain nice dark brown color.Anyway, i decided next time to do it by myself and turned out perfectly well.
I used brush and bowl to mix color, because it's to much of a hassle to use stuff from the box. It's nice chocolate brown...

I used this product yesterday and when rinising the product out loads of my hair came out and I mean a substantial amount.
My hair has broken off in patches about 2 inches from my scalp.
I did a skin test that was fine but the product has damaged my hair beyond repair and I will NEVER by a L`oreal product of ANY kind again.
I can see from these reviews that I am not the first.

I used this product 6 weeks ago to dye my hair light auburn and my friend did it for me and it came out excellent. Today I went to the store to re-dye my hair the same color and I bought light auburn again and it came out awful. The roots of my hair are a dark purple and the rest of my hair is cranberry red. I have been washing it out all day but nothing is working... if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this rainbow out of my hair please tell me!

Good Value for money,
I have used the natural brown color 5.0 and my hair was previously natural light brown with dark golden brown highlights which i wanted to change to a slightly darker tone. It worked very well I got now a lovely brown two shades lighter than the color indicated on the pack, but i love it as it looks as natural as i wanted. Applying the color on the hair was very easy the only disadvantage i found was in squeezing the bottle as that was slightly hard especially towards...

I was very nervious using this after reading a lot of negative reviews! But as I wanted to use the Brown Black 3.0 shade I thought that I didnt have much to lose if it went Black! Well I found it so much easier to use than other products as this had the application comb, and it therefore also went on very quickly, which was important so that its not left on too long. Dont forget that 1 more minute is 10% of the whole development time!

I used number 10 dye - a light blonde. I left it in for 10 minutes, as instructed and as implied by the product's name, and after I washed it out of my hair it was as though I hadn't dyed my hair at all! My darker roots were still visible, and the colour of the body of the hair remained unchanged by the dye. It also had an extremely pungent smell - Nice 'n' Easy has a far more tolerable smell. Overall, absolutely rubbish! (read more)

I really liked this product. I haven't dyed my own hair for some time now as I'd had highlights at a salon. I really liked the effect of this colour (spiced chocolate) and the smell was bearable and it worked super-quick too. I've had lots of compliments on the color too. Also I usually find that my scalp is discoloured by hair dye, but that didn't occur, so even better. I will be using this at least until I decide on the next make-over! (read more)

I too have been dying my hair for decades, and I've used all kinds of brands.

I loved the Perfect Ten haircolour light auburn6R, because it's exactly the colour I want.

Written on: 15/04/2010
I used the shade "Spiced Chocolate" and it's gone almost black! And i only kept it on my hair for 6 minutes! The thing is, it takes longer than the 10 minutes to put the stuff on your hair, especially for long or thick hair so how can we keep to the development time? The "easy to use" comb applicator was incredibly messy and went everywhere. I'm just hoping a few washes will make it fade a bit. (read more)

Written on: 08/04/2010
I have light blonde hair with a few white hairs and I have ruined my hair in the past trying to cover the white hairs, as most blonde hair dyes are designed to lighten a lot, or the less harsh dyes turn a horrible dark dull colour. All I wanted was a hair colour that wasn't harsh, only brightened my blonde hair a little so that the dye wouldn't darken my sun lightened ends and didn't damage my hair. I found that with L'oreal Excell 10 in baby blonde. My hair looks natural and undamaged and... (read more)

After three weeks since applying this product grey hairs are already showing through, particularly at the front where you would expect the product to have been applied sufficiently.
