L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 5AR is a permanent hair color kit that provides 100% gray coverage while treating hair with a hyaluronic-acid–infused Triple Care routine.

This at-home coloring kit combines a protective coloring cream, a caring shampoo, and a deep conditioner formulated with hyaluronic acid to help preserve hair fiber and maintain shine as you color. The non-drip crème formula in shade 5AR Medium Maple Brown delivers rich, long-lasting tone and is designed for all hair types and textures. Follow the enclosed instructions for optimal results and safety; packaging and inserts may vary by kit.

How does this product cover stubborn gray hair?

Excellence Crème uses a permanent dye formulation aimed at fully saturating individual strands, including coarse or resistant grays. The Protective Coloring Cream contains pigment and conditioning agents that adhere to hair cuticles, aiming for uniform coverage from root to tip.

• 100% gray coverage claimed for resistant and persistent grays
• Pigment delivery in a crème base to stick to strands without dripping
• Instructions include timing recommendations per shade for consistent results

What does the Triple Care routine do for my hair?

The kit’s three-step system—coloring cream, caring shampoo, and deep conditioner—works to color and help protect hair during and after application. Hyaluronic acid appears in the shampoo and conditioner to boost surface moisture, and the conditioner aims to smooth cuticles for color longevity and shine.

• Protective Coloring Cream aims to minimize damage while depositing color
• Caring Shampoo with hyaluronic acid gently cleanses without stripping color
• Deep Conditioner seals cuticles, adding moisture and a smoother finish

Will the shade 5AR Medium Maple Brown match my current color?

Shade 5AR is a medium brown with warm, maple undertones; it’s best for those seeking a natural, slightly warm brown. Results depend on your starting color, hair porosity, and previous chemical treatments, so a strand test is recommended to preview the final tone.

• Medium brown with warm/maple highlights for natural warmth
• Perform a strand test to verify lift and undertone on your hair
• Color may appear lighter or warmer on pre-lightened or porous hair

How should I use the kit safely for the best outcome?

Read the enclosed leaflet before mixing or applying any components; instructions vary by shade and include timing, application order, and allergy patch-test guidance. Wearing gloves, applying to dry hair, and following rinse and conditioning steps are key to achieving even color and protecting hair integrity.

• Complete the allergy patch test 48 hours before use
• Apply protective cream to dry hair and follow the timed development guide
• Rinse thoroughly, then use the included shampoo and deep conditioner

Who is this for? This kit suits anyone looking for reliable permanent gray coverage with an at-home system that also focuses on care: people who want a medium warm brown (5AR), those with noticeable grays, and users who prefer a crème formula that won’t drip. It’s also appropriate for many hair types and textures, though results vary by individual hair history; always patch-test and follow the package insert for best results.
