L’oreal Excellence To-go #8 (Medium Blonde) Review

Pros:

• Easy to use root touch up comb
• Color matches the Excellence #8 Medium Blonde
• Quick & easy
• Much better smelling – the new conditioner with it is awesome too, almost a coconut smell to it

Cons:

• Did not cover my grey – about 75% is still showing and that’s with leaving it on for a full 15 minutes on the roots alone as instructed for “resistant greys”
• Root comb pushed out a lot of product – I used almost all the product just on my roots
• Not worth it for an extra $2

Results:

I’ll go back to my standard L’oreal Excellence color and hunt for it instead of getting something else when my color was out.  Would recommend if you don’t have a lot of greys.  If you do, stick to the normal L’oreal Excellence product.

I’m highly disappointed in this “new product” from L’oreal. It cost me time and money because now I can’t wait 4-5 weeks for the next colour.

Update: The color on my roots was almost 100% gone in the first week. I had to live with totally grey hair for almost 4 weeks before I could re-color it. Terrible product, would not recommend.

Sister’s Hair Advice #1

After many months, almost years, of trying to find a site that has reviews on hair colours, I’ve decided to start one.

My sister and I are avid hair colour girls, mostly because we’re 80% grey thanks to genetics. Yeah turning grey since we were 18.

Anyway, we both use different products and colors and before using one I look for a review. Too bad I’ve yet to find one. So here goes our blog.

I plan to use and review several different home-hair colour products and put that information here for others to hopefully use and comment on as well.

I’ve done several searches for “Loreal Excellence To-Go reviews” and haven’t found a SINGLE review on it to help me. Therefore, I’m starting my own.

I hope to also post photos of before/after and I’m going to review other colours I’ve used in the past as well.

Tomorrow I plan to touch up my roots with Loreal Excellenct To-Go #8 – Medium blonde.  I was using Loreal Excellence Medium Blonde but Walmart wasout so I was forced to buy the “to-go” brand. I hope it turns out well and lasts.

I went from brunette to blonde recently but after I lost my job in December I’ve been forced to try and maintain it on my own.  I’d say 60-75% of my hair is grey. All on top and down the sides. The back is still light brown so when I try to colour it blonde on my own it hasn’t been pulling up as light as the rest. But that’s ok, it’s the back only.

I loved the Excellence brand and so far it’s the ONLY brand that’s covered 100% of my grey hairs unless I miss any on my own. It also lasts for 4 weeks, sometimes 5 with the darker colours.

So here goes, tomorrow, I’ll colour with the “to-go” brand and post a report. Last time, I missed some of my hair in the back and so tomorrow I’ll have to pull it thru longer. I’m only doing the roots as the rest is still ok and I don’t want to pull up orange with what remains brunette.
