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 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.

Deva care (this one) is specially formulated to help your color last longer. If you don't color your hair you can use the green label which is diva curl.

I mixed it with a white conditioner. Even if you want a really vibrant color I would suggest doing this. It stretches the amount of color you have out quite a bit. I had purple hair for several months and never went through this entire amount.

I wouldn't. I own this product & the colors you see are true to color! I got the Medium Blonde & it looks exactly like my hair. It is very sensitive to water. It seems to fray. So I bought a flat Iron and that took the fraying out. It tells you in the packaging how to take care of it.

Yes you can. You are only using this product up to two times a week for severely damaged hair. And that is only if you wash your hair every day or every other day because you can over condition your hair. If you only wash your hair two times a week then you should only use it once every two weeks. If your hair is severely damaged use it up to twice a week . Let it set for 7 minutes before you rinse.. You can use a purple conditioner aside from this. I recommend shimmering lights. This will help maintain your color longer.

No - it is only intended as spot coverage - let's you get an extra week between touchups. It is not a substitute for hair dye.

I'd say yes only because otherwise you'll get a triple tone Highlight. If you're ok with that then go for it. I had medium brown but went to black base and blue highlights (via bleaching the highlighted portion). I also had to retouch the blonde portion every two weeks.

No. This product is simply a lot of different kinds of oils. Nothing that would damage your color. If anything it makes it shinier :)

Dear M. Thaler, Yes, eSalon does customize hair color by formulating each individual order according to your personal hair details, including gray percentage, coloring history, and more. While we think we can duplicate the base color for the discontinued L'Oreal Coleur Experte 7.3, we are unable to duplicate the harmonizing highlights found in that kit since we do not currently offer a highlighting kit. You may use our color as a base, then have highlights applied 1 to 2 days later after the eSalon base color has settled in. In order to make your transition to eSalon easier and provide the best outcome, we recommend completing an online consultation and placing an order. Our Colorist will then review the details of your order and formulate your color. If for any reason you're not head over heels with your color, just let us know and we'll make you a new one or give you your money back, per our Satisfaction Guarantee. We hope to craft a custom blended color for you in the very near future because customized color truly makes a difference. Regards, The eSalon Team

Elumen is supposed to be permanent but in my experience it's more like a demi-permanent. It has no peroxide or ammonia so it doesn't damage your hair like regular hair color.

The color lasted for me. I only re-colored because of grey roots (I'm 40). I stopped using it. As I continued to use it, it got darker and darker on me until I looked like I was going after a gothic look. I am fair with blue eyes. In the end, I had ravine black hair. Way too hard for my complexion. I was using the Dark Brown.

Hello. I am Puerto Rican with coarse, naturally curly hair. I LOVE this. It doesn't leave my hair dry and brittle like box dyes. I stopped using relaxers, went all natural rocking my curls, so it was very important for me to hit the salon. Well this is formulated specifically for you, your hair type and you won't spend the big bucks you would at the salon. If it is a color that will stress your hair out too much, they will not even give it as an option. My curls have stayed the same and not stretched, worn out as with box dye. And yes the color you will not be disappointed with. I love it... Hello. I am Puerto Rican with coarse, naturally curly hair. I LOVE this. It doesn't leave my hair dry and brittle like box dyes.

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. The ingredients show they've moved water up as a primary ingredient so it is not as luxurious as it had been and it appears other ingredients have been changed as well. My hair does not react as well with the newer formula and I will no longer be purchasing this product. L'Oreal really screwed up by changing the formula after they purchased Pureology in 2007. Surprisingly I've been using a product called B'Iota (European - I believe it's German) Herbal Shampoo for thinning hair (safe for colored hair) that I purchased in a local drug store and it is working quite well.

This is just for highlights but depending on your natural hair color you can blend the highlights with the gray. I use this as part of a double process. I use a PERMANENT (L'Oreal) color that best matches my natural hair and then use this over it to achieve the look of darker undertones and highlights. Always turns out great!
