L'oreal Excellence Hicolor, Sizzling Copper, 3.5 Ounce

I loved the color and the formula!!

After trying numerous shades, Sizzling Copper is officially my one and only hair dye. I have waist length, very thick level 2 darkest brown hair with 20% gray. I use two tubes along with the appropriate amount of 30 developer, starting with my roots & working my down to the ends, then let it sit for an hour followed by deep conditioning mask. I've done this with my last dye jobs & my hair turns out fiery copper red with no noticeable damage. My hair stays soft & shiny. Of all the hair dyes I have used including other reds in this product line, Sizzling Copper has the best staying power. I experience little fade, even when washing my hair with regular shampoo & warm water. The vibrancy tones down, but it stays a lovely coppery red color until my next dye application. This shade (IMO) is what natural red hair looks like. I love it! So happy to have found my holy grail.

Buen color

The direction are very tiny on the side of the box. For a second I thought it didn’t have any but once you find them, it’s very straightforward. It definitely colored my dark brown almost black hair, but in the future I would personally: - let product process longer, checking every 10-15 minutes. For this round, I let it process for 30 minutes then colored my roots and let it process for another 10 minutes, so 40 minutes in all. I’ve seen another people process for a total of an hour and the color came out brighter. - I used 20 volume developer but I may use 30 next time to help it process faster/better. Surprisingly, my hair doesn’t feel very damaged nor did I have a lot of shedding after rinsing the color out. My hair doesn’t look or feel any worse for wear. I’d definitely buy the product again.

I got the H07 Sizzling Copper. It says for dark hair only, but that's more of a suggestion. I have thin, dirty blonde hair that I dye red with the aim to have it turn gingery as it fades. This does exactly that and it does it well. I use about half of the color booster thing and leave it on for a few minutes shy of the 30 in the directions (inside the box). I then shampoo it with normal shampoo, condition and then shampoo again. Disclaimer: As with all professional-quality hair dye, the fumes are intense, so make absolutely sure you have a well-ventilated bathroom! After a week or so, my hair turns approximately the color of the redhead from Mad Men. I don't take great care with the reds or get worried about it and every day use a normal Lush solid shampoo with no conditioner and it still stays bright and vibrant. When my roots are nearly an inch long, the color is still a mellow ginger.
