L'Oreal Paris Healthy Look Sublime Mousse Haircolor, Pure Light Brown

 (60 customer reviews)

used this today. it was my first experience with foam haircolor, but have been coloring at home for about 8 years. when i color, i alternate between 3 main brands, depending on which is on sale when it's time for me to color, so i'm not terribly brand-loyal...i do typically try new stuff when it comes out, though. as a result, i've tried a pretty good number of haircolors. :)

what i liked about sublime mousse: easy to apply...definitely easier than typical creme hair color.
very pleasant scent...not at all chemically.
didn't stain my skin or scalp...this is something i thought i'd just always have to live with for a couple days after coloring, but not with this product.
color is very close to what i expected (i used medium golden brown, which is the shade i typically use regardless of brand)...i am used to at-home color turning out darker than desired at first. i have learned to not freak out and just let a new dye job fade for about 5 days before it...Read more

I was eager to try one of the new foam-type hair colors, but L'Oreal, usually a literal "preference" of mine, needs to go back to the lab on this one! Although easy to apply as promised, the ephemeral sudsy consistency was far from luxurious and mousse-like as shown in the commercials and on the website video. That would also explain why grey coverage was not satisfactory despite care to apply it first, and generously, to those problem areas. Worse, as a previous reviewer said, the Light Chestnut Brown turned my medium brown hair a much-too dark chocolate brown that doesn't look anything like the box, meaning I'll now probably have to add highlights to keep it from looking so harsh with my fair complexion. Really disappointed in this product ... I won't buy it again even with a coupon!

Usually I read reviews before I decide to buy a product, but this time I'm glad I didn't! This is the best drugstore dye that I've ever used, and I've used most of them in the store at one time or another.

First off, this dye ended up being a huge bargain for me because I have hair down to my waist so I always have to buy two boxes and with the more expensive dye that can get to be a bit pricey. Not so with this one! I only needed one box and the mousse covered all of my hair!

As far as applying the dye it was easier than any other dye I've used before. Usually I want to dye my hair, but I dread getting everything out, and making a huge mess. This dye was not messy at all and the pump worked wonderfully. One of the best things about this dye was that while it did foam initially when I put it on, it didn't stay foamy like the picture so at first I was worried. But a short time after I put the dye on my hair it actually turned the color that it was supposed to be...Read more
