Loreal positions the Excellence line as a complex with triple protection for perfect hair color:
- Protective serum with ceramides, which protects and softens hair before dyeing.
- Coloring cream with pro-keratin protects and restores hair during staining.
- The substances contained in the balm-care (together with G-ionene) penetrate the center of the hair, taking care of it after the procedure.
Thanks to a special formula, Excellence cream-paint provides optimal shading of gray hair, which is its undoubted advantage.
The palette of paints "Loreal" Excellence is represented by about fifty shades and consists of five main groups:
- Brown Extreme: six shades of magnificent and delicious chocolate color - wine, copper, medium golden, dark burgundy, light chestnut and light beige.
- Resistance Gray: six natural shades close to light brown and chestnut, including light blond, light brown and dark chestnut.

Colorista Paint
Loreal keeps up to date and at the peak of the popularity of color dyeing, it launches the Colorista line, which is presented as a hair dyeing balm (Washout series) and a spray (Spray series).
At its core, Colorist is not hair dye in the traditional sense, but for a short period of time it makes you feel like a rock star, a crazy artist, and just recharge your batteries for various achievements.
The paint is temporary (it is washed off after 3-5 washings of the head) and does not harm the hair (the coloring balm does not contain ammonia, and the spray is generally a colored chalk for hair in a convenient package).
In total, the Colorista Loreal color palette has seven shades for the Spray series and eleven for Washout: these are fashionable lavender colors and various pink shades, as well as indigo, electric blue and others.
Basically, blondes can enjoy all the colors of the rainbow. Brunettes, however, must first lighten.
Paint Colorista Paint
In addition to color balms in the Colorista lineup, the Paint series is presented, which allows fashionistas to experiment with modern staining at home. It is especially important for those who have long wanted to paint themselves in the ombre technique, but salon proposals seemed too expensive. The Loreal color palette Colorista Paint is presented in twenty-seven shades.
Cream paint, balm or spray?
The question of what to choose always remains open. However, it is easy to solve if you answer yourself another: "How long do I want to stay in the selected color?"
Most often, cream paints are the least susceptible to leaching, which contain special substances that “seal” the color in the hair for a long time (from 3-4 weeks). Next in descending order are coloring balms (from 3-5 days) and sprays (1 day).
Resistance of paints "Loreal"
An important indicator of paint is its resistance, which depends not only on the composition, but also on the structure of human hair, the degree of pigmentation, and so on. Almost all Loreal paint lines have a fairly high degree of color protection for a long time, but the approximate ranking is as follows:
- The most resistant paint is Excellence. Color lasts from about six to nine weeks.
- Further Preference - from four weeks of enjoying the result.
- Prodigy - from three weeks.
- Casting Creme Gloss - from three weeks.
- Colorista - from one day to a week, depending on the type of coloring matter (spray or balm). Balm is more resistant.
Staining tips
Coloring tips are widespread on the net, and are also available on every paint box we purchase. However, most girls neglect them, often experiencing negative emotions as a result. Let’s go over all the points again and try to take into account at least some of them.
- Abrupt transitions from one color to another (a hackneyed but not lost relevance example: from a brunette to a blonde) are fatal to hair. Often it is necessary to carry out not one or even two clarification procedures. It is best to switch from color to color gradually: from very dark to chestnut, then to light brown and so on.
- When choosing a paint, focus on the color of the skin, and indeed in general on your color type. For example, if you want to turn red, and your skin has a warm golden tint, pay attention to the warm golden brown, copper brown colors. And vice versa, if the skin is with a cold undertone, you will see such wonderful colors as reddish-brown, burgundy and raspberry.
- The frequency of dyeing depends on the color fastness and the hair growth rate. On average, the roots are tinted once every one and a half months, and full hair coloring is done once every three to five months. Too often, there is no need to color the hair: more often than not, it harms the hair. The more resistant the paint and the stronger it brightens the hair, the stronger the destructive effect.
- A sensitive issue: hair coloring during pregnancy. It is believed that it is best to abandon hair colors in dark and black shades, as they contain toxic substances. Anyway, during pregnancy and lactation, you should refrain from using coloring agents. Still, tests of paints on pregnant women were not carried out, and no one can say exactly how even the most expensive, "environmentally friendly" of them will affect the body.
Dear girls! Do not neglect the general tips for coloring, be beautiful and creative. The Loreal hair color palette will help you with this.
