L’Oréal Paris Permanent Hair Colour, Long-Lasting Shine and Intense Colour, For up to 8 Weeks, Preference Vivids (Colorista), Violet 5.26, x1 pack

Ich liebe diese Farbe! Leider ist die Textur der angemischten Farbe etwas flüssig und man muss beim Auftragen aufpassen, dass es nicht so tropft. Das Ergebnis ist allerdings super. Die Haltbarkeit der Farbe ist durchschnittlich für diesen Farbton.

What a bold change! This purple-tinted option gave my hair a deep, attention-grabbing shade that turned heads during the school run and even drew a compliment from a friend at the pub. The colour delivers a rich tone, though it doesn’t entirely match the vibrant hue shown on the box. After about three weeks, it began fading more than I’d anticipated, leaving a somewhat dull tone. Not ideal, but not a complete loss either. The thicker consistency made application less messy than I expected, although the smell was rather strong, it lingered even outdoors! I applied it with care, meticulously sectioning my hair, and the conditioner left my hair feeling wonderfully smooth. If you’re thinking of covering grey streaks or trying something bold, it’s a dependable option, but do consider how long the colour will last.

Natural hair colour: deep dark brown Hair colour before the dye: 3-month old copper brown balayage (see pic) Hair colour after the Violet dye: see pics of hair taken under different light within a week after the dye. Violet hair dye works like magic! The smell is more less harsh than before. Gloves are bigger and more comfortable than before. Colour bleeds when I wash my hair three days after, like before. I used one box and am a happy customer.

I found this here after problems purchasing close to home. It’s an amazing colour. Always get compliments, even from my hairdresser, despite it being a home dye. The colour is vibrant. Lasts a long time, especially for a red x also my hair is in very good condition to 👌

I was really excited to try the Violet 5.26 shade — the color looked vibrant and rich right after application. Unfortunately, the results didn’t last. Within just a couple of washes, the color faded significantly and looked dull, despite using color-safe shampoo. For something marketed as long-lasting (up to 8 weeks), it was disappointing to see it lose its vibrancy so quickly. Not sure I’d repurchase unless the formula improves.
