Came out exactly as expected,

A few months ago I bleached my dyed black hair to white and turned it all to mush. When I was sick of the white I tried to dye it back with a box dye and while my roots accepted the dye, the parts of my hair that had been so severely damaged by the bleach did not. So I had red roots and light pink hair. Not good. So after a lot of research I began dying my hair with henna (natural not compound) which worked beautifully. However it takes a really long time, 24 hours prep and 8 hours on my hair. So after a few months I decided to try boxed color again. This time I bought preference Lightest Auburn and not only did it turn out exactly like the color on the box, but it even dyed the damaged part and my gray hairs. It also blended in with the existing henna hair color beautifully. I love this product!

Beautiful Color for a Wide Range of People,

L'Oreal told me that given my past hair coloring, bleaching, color fill and natural dark brown hair that this product would turn my hair "screaming orange" and that I was not a good candidate for it. Nonsense. Right on the box it tells you that you can use this from medium blonde to dark brown natural hair color. Despite the dire warning, I used Intense Red Copper, and it was beautiful. It was the exact color of the model on the box. I can't stop looking at it. If you have dyed your hair brunette or red - I had dyed my bleached and dyed blond hair red - then wait until your color fades to a lightness commensurate with the color. Color cannot lift color, but if you have very faded color then you don't need any lifting. The vivid nature of it is amazing. Take a chance! Have a box of darker red dye nearby in case this doesn't work for you and you need an immediate correction. But believe me, the folks at L'Oreal's call center have been wrong in almost every situation in which...Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: L'Oreal Paris Superior Preference Color Care System, Intense Dark Red RR-04 (Misc.)
I have used this hair color for years. It is a vibrant dark red, which I like, but I also use it to give my hair body, which it does. Although I still love it and use it, I believe that they have changed the formula through the years, because the color does not last as long as it used to, and it seems to me that it does not give quite as much body as it used to. That being said, it is still the best product I have found for my own needs, and I will continue to use it. Another plus is that I am allergic to many, many shampoos and hair products, but I have never had any allergic reactions or allergy problems with this product. I just hope that L'Oreal continues to make this product for many more years. I bought this color through Amazon, and as always, they were efficient and a joy to order from.
