Didn't color very good and it didn't last as long as some other coloring products I have used over the counter with L'Oreal in the past. I think it might of been old or something like that, because I've used lots of L'Oreal products and never had a issue with them. I really like L'Oreal products and that's why I gave it 4 star's and nothing lower as I would with other products I wasn't pleased with.

I am thoroughly impressed with the Gray Coverage product, particularly its accompanying conditioner. Not only does it provide fantastic coverage for gray hair, but the conditioner also works wonders. My hair not only looks vibrant and natural but also feels incredibly soft and healthy.

The conditioner's formula seems to be the secret sauce here. It revitalizes my hair without weighing it down, and the softness lasts between washes. I've noticed a visible reduction in hair breakage and an overall improvement in the texture. It's rare to find a product that delivers on both gray coverage and hair health, but Gray Coverage has truly exceeded my expectations.

If you're searching for a hair solution that not only conceals grays effectively but also promotes hair health, I wholeheartedly recommend Gray Coverage. It's a game-changer that has transformed my hair care routine for the better

I have tried many strategies to lighten my very dark blonde hair to the light blonde color it was in my youth. Most of them fall very short and do not lighten enough while leaving a lot of brass behind.
I have disappointed in salons near my house as well. They don't listen the info I try to share and I end up with either very brassy, ashy or very red blonde color and am out $200 for it. My hair color actually has a lot of ash color from my mother's side and red from my father's side embedded in a blonde base that has darkened with every year since puberty to the point of being a very heavy, drab color. If the red and brass and ash aren't lifted evenly the results are not good.

I know I am asking a lot here to deal with my freaky natural pigment but it's what I have to work with.
I did have experience lightening and coloring hair successfully in the past before my hair had become as dark as it is now.
After trying a few other lightening systems with poor results, I stumbled across this and something compelled me to try one last thing before pouring my wallet into new salons or just giving up entirely.

It worked! I ended up with a pale butter platinum that will easily tone to the perfect shade.
This is about the best one could hope for with my pigment density.
My husband and daughter love it which is nice because they have to look at it even more than I do.
My hair does not seem damaged and is soft.
(I also tried the L'Oreal Ever Pure Glossing system on the 3rd day after lightening and the results were fantastic -- I have never had such shiny, silky looking and feeling hair)

I did use a cap to trap warmth and promote full processing.

This is a winner for me and I think at least worth a solid try for most.
Some tips that you might already know but may be good reminders:
Have a few hair clips and a parting comb handy
Have a plan for organizing the hair in sections and working quickly
Start on areas that have had residual color in previous lightening sessions as they may actually have more pigment and need more time.
Leave the bottom 1/3-1/2 inch of the roots unapplied until about 15-20 minutes through the processing time.
If hair is more than shoulder length or ultra thick have 2 boxes on the ready -- it is still a bargain compared to salon prices.
If you do need 2 boxes, don't mix the second box until the first is used up so the mix isn't aging/losing power in the bowl/bottle.
Put a coloring cap over the processing hair at the end of applying the mix (cold spots won't process as well as well as the warmer parts near the scalp and the cap helps even this out)
Set your processing timer at the end of application for the maximum time (anything less may give uneven results) you can always add color/tone back in a day or two days later with a toner.

Good luck! Finding the right stuff for each hair type can be a trying process. Hope you end up as happy as I am!
