L'Oreal Paris Superior Preference Chic Auburn Brown 6AB is a permanent hair dye kit that delivers luminous, fade-defying color and shine for up to nine weeks.

Built on a Fade-Defying Color and Shine System, this long-standing L'Oreal Paris formula combines a translucent color gel with a conditioning treatment to coat the hair fiber, enhance depth and preserve vibrancy. The kit is formulated for reliable gray coverage, improved adherence with a no-drip gel texture, and comes with a Shine Protect Conditioner enriched with Vitamin E and a UV filter to help protect first-day radiance. It’s one of over 50 shades in the Superior Preference family, designed to give salon-inspired results at home.

How does this color last up to nine weeks?

The Superior Preference system uses a concentrated blend of long-lasting dyes in a translucent gel base that better adheres to hair strands. Combined with the included Shine Protect Conditioner and UV filter, the formula helps lock in pigment while smoothing the hair surface to reflect light and maintain vibrancy.

• Translucent gel formula for improved dye adhesion
• Concentrated long-lasting colorants for extended pigment retention
• Vitamin E-infused conditioner preserves shine and softness
• UV filter helps protect against early fading from light exposure

What’s in the kit and how easy is it to apply?

The kit contains the Color Gel, Developer Crème, Shine Protect Conditioner, one pair of gloves, and an instruction leaflet. The no-drip gel texture allows for a cleaner, more precise application whether you’re covering roots or coloring all-over, and the instructions guide you step-by-step for predictable results.

• No-drip gel for more controlled application
• Developer crème mixes smoothly with the color gel
• Conditioner included for immediate post-color care
• Gloves and instructions provided for safe, guided use

Will this shade cover gray hair and suit my natural color?

Superior Preference is formulated to provide dependable gray coverage and build dimension on natural hair. Chic Auburn Brown 6AB is a medium brown with warm auburn tones designed to blend with natural pigments while adding luminous red-brown highlights for depth.

• Formulated for gray coverage and even pigment distribution
• Medium brown base with auburn warmth for natural-looking dimension
• Suitable for a wide range of hair types and starting colors—consult the shade guide
• Results vary by original hair color and condition

How should I care for my hair after coloring to maintain shine?

Use the included Shine Protect Conditioner immediately after rinsing the color to seal the hair cuticle and boost reflectivity. For ongoing care, choose color-safe shampoos and conditioners, limit heat styling, and protect hair from prolonged sun exposure to preserve tone and luster.

• Apply the Shine Protect Conditioner after coloring to lock in shine
• Use sulfate-free, color-safe hair products between color appointments
• Minimize high-heat tools or use thermal protectants when styling
• Wear hats or UV-protective products when spending time in the sun

Who is this for? L'Oreal Paris Superior Preference Chic Auburn Brown 6AB is suited to anyone seeking salon-quality permanent color at home, specifically those who want reliable gray coverage, a warm auburn-brown result, and enhanced shine that lasts. It’s a good choice for first-time at-home colorists who prefer a no-drip application and for experienced users wanting a long-lasting, luminous finish. If you have previously lightened or very porous hair, perform a strand test to set expectations and adjust developer timing as needed.
