How does this kit protect hair while coloring?

The Excellence Crème system contains hyaluronic acid in the shampoo and conditioner and a protective coloring cream that works during the dye process. These ingredients help maintain moisture balance and smooth the cuticle after coloring, reducing the look of dryness and maintaining shine.

• Protective coloring cream designed to minimize damage while depositing pigment
• Caring Shampoo with hyaluronic acid to gently cleanse and support color retention
• Caring Deep Conditioner with hyaluronic acid for 3X more moisture and sealed cuticles

Will this cover 100% of my gray hair?

This product is formulated to cover 100% of gray hair, including resistant or stubborn gray strands. Coverage depends on correct application, processing time, and prior hair condition, so following the package insert is important for full, even results.

• Permanent coloration designed specifically for gray coverage
• Crème formula helps blend pigment evenly across strands
• Instructions inside the box give timing and application tips per shade

What shade is 5 Medium Brown and how true-to-tone is it?

Shade 5 Medium Brown is a neutral medium brown that suits a wide range of natural base colors, providing balanced depth without extreme warmth or coolness. Color appearance can vary with your starting color, hair porosity, and previous chemical treatments, so expect subtle differences from on-screen images.

• Medium brown depth for natural-looking, everyday color
• Best results on hair that is within two levels of the shade or pre-lightened appropriately
• Color longevity supported by the included shampoo and conditioner

How easy is it to apply at home and who should follow the instructions closely?

The non-drip crème texture makes at-home application manageable for beginners and experienced users alike, but precise timing and sectioning improve results. Those with extensive gray, previously colored hair, or sensitive scalps should read the leaflet and perform a patch and strand test.

• Non-drip crème for controlled application and reduced mess
• Detailed insert provides shade-specific processing times and safety steps
• Patch test recommendation for first-time users and sensitive skin

Who is this for: L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 5 Medium Brown is designed for anyone seeking reliable permanent gray coverage combined with a caring hair routine—suitable for all hair textures and those wanting a medium brown, natural-looking result while preserving moisture and shine. If you prioritize even gray coverage and a protective post-color regimen, this kit offers an accessible salon-style option at home.
