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.

Since this is a direct deposit color you will want clean, dry hair so the color and penetrate and stain the cuticle to its maximum capacity. This products takes best to healthy hair so conditioner is key. The more damage your hair has, the more open the cuticle and that results in the color lasting less than a desirable time. In my experience the overall boldness fades a little but the base color of it is close to permanent.

In my situation I don't think it would have mattered. For me it was the fact that the products have too much protien in them that it was too much for my hair. The damage was done in a short period of time. I have used other products that work much better like Pureology and a newer line Living Proof.

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

I have the same as you and age wise also. I have used this in the last and I liked it. It will make you light blonde not gray. I have naturally light hair before gray. Leave on longer for better gray coverage and if your non gray hair is not too dark.

It does not look greasy on my hair. It is actually looks very nice and gives it healthy looking. As to stop breaking I have not seen a difference.

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.

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 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 would be careful of putting in your conditioner. I have been using this product for 4 months and have only had to tuch up once a month. I have had purple in my hair for 5 yrs or so. This is by far the best color I have ever used. Be careful when applying it does stain,but not as bad as other products I have used.

You would probably need to see their hair color samples in a store in order to know for sure. My hiardresser used this brand on me back in the 90s when I used to have mine done professionally. I just kept using the same colors. I used to buy it in a beauty supply store where they had the sample book, but now I just buy it online since it's cheaper. Try to find a beauty supply that sells it so you can choose your colors.

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

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.

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