L'Oréal Paris Excellence 3 Shade Dark Brown

L'Oreal Paris Excellence Creme in shade 3 (Natural Darkest Brown / Dark Brown) is a permanent at-home hair colour delivering up to 100% grey coverage from root to tip. Its Triple Care formula — combining Ceramide, Pro-Keratin, and Collagen — protects, strengthens, and nourishes hair during and after the colouring process, leaving strands visibly shinier and up to 85% more resistant to breakage from brushing (per L'Oreal's own claim). The ammonia-free, creme texture is designed for easy self-application. The kit includes a protective pre-colour serum, colouring creme, developer, and post-colour conditioner enriched with Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), providing colour that lasts up to 8 weeks of vibrancy.

Key Ingredients

• Ceramide — Reinforces the hair's protective outer layer to help seal the cuticle and prevent damage during colour processing
• Pro-Keratin — Strengthens hair fibre, improving resilience and helping hair become up to 85% more resistant to breakage from brushing (L'Oreal-stated claim)
• Collagen (Soluble Collagen) — Present in the post-colour conditioner; replenishes and nourishes hair, adding body and smoothness after colour application
• Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — Present in the post-colour conditioning step; helps retain moisture, leaving colour-treated hair softer and hydrated

How to Use

1. Perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before use. 2. Apply the included pre-colour protective serum to the ends of dry hair (not the roots) to prevent uneven colour absorption; do not rinse. 3. Divide hair into four sections. 4. Mix the colour creme and developer in the provided tray and apply to roots first, then work through lengths and ends. 5. Leave on for 30 minutes. 6. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. 7. Apply the included post-colour conditioning treatment, leave for 2 minutes, then rinse.
