Been using L'Oreal Excellence Permanent color. Hair can't handle it with age anymore. Can I switch over to Healthy Look with out damaging my hair?

It actually will be less harsh on you hair than the permanent color. If you stay within the same color realm that you were previously using, I think you will be fine. I have switched from permanent color to Loreal Healthy Look, without any problem. I have a more natural color after using Healthy Look, even though I do apply it usually every two months. Love it and I think you will too. I am a natural redhead, but at age 68 I had alot of ugly gray and yellowing. The medium golden blonde brings out the red and neutralizes the gray and I end up with a very nice natural light copper color. Good Luck!

I don't see why not. I am totally grey and the Healthy Look has great coverage and I never had any damage to my hair.

I have color treated course hair and use the "normal" formula every 6 to 8 weeks on just the new growth. My color treatment is semi permanent, not permanent. Hope this helps you.

it all depends on how light that section of your hair is. the lighter our hair is, the brighter your color will look. The only thing you can do is bleach that section out again (but for only a short amount of time), or just accept that funky spot as part of your unintentional style :)

I am not a professional and i was told by my hairdresser only to use it every three weeks. as it is strong. My hair looks really nice when i use it and my hair is very color damaged after years of coloring. I don't know about the breaking off .

I can't answer that, since I don't know if you've had a red color put on hair???? I liked this because my alternative was some type of ash toner, and I knew it would drab my hair color. So gave this a shot since I already had it from a year ago. Sheeesh, wish I had used it long ago. Now I had to order my next box, bc no longer on shelves. It's not STRONG, since I was ultra careful, damp hair and didn't leave on but about 5 or 6 minutes. You may leave in much longer.

I have colored gray hair, but not a lot of gray. I had professional color about a year ago and have been using Root Touch Up or a simiilar product (L'Oreal or Clairol, I switch off). The professional color was close to my own shade anyway, with some lighter highlights. Anyway, keratin is the vital ingredient here and it's all good. I haven't noticed any color alteration or any negative effect from the OGX treatment. If there is some subtle change I'm not aware of it, because having my hair feel so much better is what gets my attention. I don't think you'd have any problem. There may be a phone number on the directions inside that would be more specific. Personally, I feel very safe with it.

No you should definitely leave it on longer than that, a few hours at least. The color is vegan and won't hurt your hair at all no matter how long you leave it on, in fact its quite conditioning. The longer you leave it on the brighter your color will be and the longer it will last. I left mine on overnight and my color came out amazing.

It was recommended to me by the salon I was at. The Redken representative had been there previously and recommended the product for those with color treated hair. I still noticed that it has sodium laureth sulfate, which is what I thought stripped hair coloring. I do blond highlights and apricot highlights every couple months and haven't noticed it diminishing my color much, besides what kind if normal diminishing occurs anyway. For how my scalp feels I think it is worth it to possibly lose a little color.

I don't have color treated hair, but when I did, I used a special shampoo that wouldn't remove the color. (My color was the "wash out" type.) It never got my hair squeaky clean. Neutrogena will give you the squeaky feel so it might damage your color.

All Pureology Products are geared toward color treated hair. The only pureology line you have to choose is based on the condition of your hair. if you need hydration use the hydrate line (very good , by the way) if you are experiencing breakage, try the essential repair line. hope this helps!

I am not a licensed beautician just a customer. I have made the switch to henna and my hair is doing better than ever. Henna is safe in the sense that it will not hurt you in any way. As far as getting the same results as Loreal that is different. The color may not be the same. Also, Henna is a rinse not a dye. For similar results to Loreal, such as evenness and how long the color lasts, switch to an organic dye. I switched to the organic dyes first. They can be just as drying as the chemicals. I then switched to henna because it leaves your hair soft. Unfortunately, you have to use it more often because it rinsed out. I am not a licensed beautician just a customer.

That's exactly why I use it - for my color treated hair. My hair dresser recommended about 4 years ago and I've been using ever since. I really like it although you won't get a lot of lather with it. But it will never change or fade the color of your hair - or at least that been my experience. And if you need a conditioner the Dermorganic Intensive Hair Repair Masque with Argan Oil for Unisex is the one I use. It's amazing - your hair will feel like silk. I have curly hair so it can be quite dry - these 2 products are a staple in my hair care.

Frankly, since I've never worked with Wella color Charm product, unsure. I do know that this product worked to remove move brassiness of the L'Oreal hair color. What brand of hair color did you use in the past? It is unwise, at home, to switch between different Name Brands without professional advice. You may have caused a chemical reaction between two different Brands of hair coloring products.

I do not have any highlights, but my hair stylist suggested that I alternate between the two products for hair health. My hair is healthier than ever.

Yes it can, and it is helpful in giving a healthy shine to it. I have color treated hair and love the product. Unfortunately the company has stopped producing this product. The replacement product does not work as well and left my hair dull and heavy. I don't like it. I wish the company would start making this again. It is a much better product in my opinion.

Been taking the Extra Strength which works for me. Is it ok to switch to Professional? Will it cause my hair to fall out or continue to work better?
