This review is in reference to L'Oreal Preference Mousse Absolue Hair Color. I've used hair coloring products for 40 years (L'Oreal for most of them...Excellence & Preference) and this is the first time that a product simply didn't work. I have the same grey roots that I had before I used the product. I purchased this product because I liked the idea of the color and developer all in one container, and that the product would be re-usable. Unfortunately, the canister was clunky to hold on to, so much so that I was spraying the mousse into my gloved hand to apply it, while making sure that I kept shaking the canister as directed (inconvenient!). I could have lived with all of that, if only the product had colored my greys. NOT ONE STRAND OF GREY HAIR was colored. In addition to this fiasco, my hair now feels like straw, even after conditioning. I called the company and they are reimbursing me with coupons ($16.00) for a different L'Oreal hair color product. If you decide to do the same (call the company) have your used canister on hand so that you'll be able to give the person the code on the back. I suspect without that code, you won't be able to get compensation. I would not recommend this product to anyone, and I'm left to wonder if L'Oreal actually tested this product adequately. What a disappointment.
