L'Oreal Paris Healthy Look Creme Gloss Review in Darkest Plum (3AR)
I have been wanting to go purple for a very long time. I have tried almost every type of purple hair dye, from Manic Panic, Jerome Russell, to the lesser known brands. They ALL washed out within a week.
I know purple isn't really a permanent colour, but I was determined to find something that would actually... last. My last resort in my mind was the box dye you would buy at the drugstore.
Well, this is my last resort.
I decided to go with the lightest purple I could find, which was L'Oreal Paris' Healthy Look in Darkest Plum.
All the other boxes looked scary.
To be honest I wasn't going to dye my hair for another week, but my blonde roots were close to coming to one inch, and nothing feels better than hair that's freshly dyed!
The box came with instructions, gloves, colour, peroxide, and hair conditioner.
The instructions were extremely easy. It's three steps. Literally, that is it.
Application was extremely easy. I usually use an applicator brush for hair dye. I had to layer the hair dye a bit more, because this colour is fairly dark and my hair colour before was a pretty light red after fading out for quite some time.
This is basically the before picture of my hair (minus the roots, it's a pretty old pic). Personally I REALLY like to take my time with my hair. Since I'm doing it by myself, I have to make sure I get every single strand there is. My hair usually takes around two hours to dye, minus the time you have to keep it in.
Unfortunately, this time took more than three. I had ran out of hair dye when it came to my hair underneath!! It was already 2:30 in the morning, and I was getting tired, so I just showered, washed the dye out, and waited til eight so I could pick up another box.
So fair warning, if you have long hair like me, GET TWO BOXES. PLEASE.
Since it's a purple dye, the wash out took a little bit longer. The thing with colours like purple and red, dye is going to continue to come out no matter if the water is still a tint of red/purple. So, once it's a light tint of the hair colour, it's time to step out of the shower.
I took these pictures outside so you can see how it looks out in the sun. Taking pictures indoors makes my hair look completely black.
So, the verdict? I would use this product again. I'm a big fan with L'Oreal Paris and their hair dyes (especially Feria. Like WOW). My hair always ends up shiny, soft, and healthy looking after I dye my hair from their products. I've been using L'Oreal Paris hair dye since I was in high school. I don't think I will ever go back to another hair dye.
I will let you guys know how long this colour lasts in my hair. After a couple weeks, I'll update and put a link to the post in this post either down here or up top.
