L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème permanent hair color 8RB Reddish Blonde — 100% gray coverage, Triple Care with hyaluronic acid

L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 8RB is a permanent hair coloring kit that delivers rich reddish-blonde color while covering 100% of grays and protecting hair with a Triple Care system infused with hyaluronic acid. This kit combines a non-drip crème color, a protective coloring cream, a caring shampoo, and a deep conditioner — all formulated to reduce damage during coloring and lock in long-lasting radiance. The Triple Care routine is engineered to nourish strands before, during, and after coloring to help maintain softness and shine. The 8RB shade produces warm reddish-blonde tones suited to anyone seeking a vibrant yet natural-looking red-gold finish.

How does this color protect hair while covering grays?

The Excellence Crème process uses a Protective Coloring Cream plus post-color treatments that include hyaluronic acid to help maintain hair moisture and seal the cuticle. This reduces the roughness often associated with permanent dye, while pigments fully cover gray strands for even results.

• Protective Coloring Cream minimizes internal damage during processing
• Caring Shampoo gently cleanses to preserve color intensity
• Caring Deep Conditioner seals cuticles with added moisture for smoother hair

What results can I expect from shade 8RB Reddish Blonde?

Shade 8RB gives a medium-light base with warm red and golden highlights, producing a lively reddish-blonde finish. Results vary by starting color and hair porosity; pre-lightened or naturally light hair will show the brightest tones, while darker hair may need pre-lightening for full vibrancy.

• Warm reddish-golden tones on light to medium bases
• Full gray coverage, including resistant gray hairs
• Color longevity aided by the included caring shampoo and conditioner

What’s included and how do I use the kit safely?

The kit contains the Protective Coloring Cream (colorant), developer, an applicator, a caring shampoo, and a deep conditioner with hyaluronic acid. Follow the enclosed instructions exactly: perform a patch test 48 hours before use, mix as directed, and time the development according to your natural hair shade to avoid over-processing.

• Patch test recommendation to check for sensitivity
• Mix developer and color cream in measured amounts supplied
• Rinse thoroughly, then use the caring shampoo and deep conditioner for best results

How long will the color last and how should I maintain it?

As a permanent hair color, Excellence Crème deposits long-lasting pigments that resist fading with normal washing, but natural regrowth will appear at the roots over time. Use color-safe shampoos, limit hot tools, and condition regularly to extend vibrancy and maintain hair softness.

• Permanent pigment with gradual root regrowth
• Use the included hyaluronic acid caring products to retain moisture
• Avoid harsh sulfates and limit heat styling to prolong color life

Who is this for? This L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 8RB kit is designed for anyone seeking dependable, salon-style permanent color at home with full gray coverage and built-in care. It’s suitable for many hair types and textures, especially for those who want warm reddish-blonde tones while minimizing typical coloring damage. If you have very dark hair and want the brightest 8RB result, consider consulting a salon for pre-lightening guidance. Always follow the included safety steps and shade-specific timing instructions in the package insert.
