L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème Permanent Hair Color — 5 Medium Brown, 3-Count Kit with Hyaluronic Acid Care

L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème in 5 Medium Brown is a three-count at-home permanent hair color kit formulated to cover 100% of grays while caring for hair with hyaluronic acid.

This three-piece kit combines a protective coloring cream, a caring shampoo, and a deep conditioner to deliver long-lasting, vibrant medium brown results while minimizing dryness and damage. The Triple Care Color routine is designed for at-home use across a wide range of hair types and textures, offering a non-drip crème formula and step-by-step instructions inside the box for precise application. The included hyaluronic-acid-infused care steps help maintain softness and sheen after coloring.

How does this kit protect hair during coloring?

The Protective Coloring Cream helps shield hair fibers while depositing permanent color. Hyaluronic acid is included in the care products to hydrate and preserve the hair's surface, reducing the typical roughness that can follow dyeing.

• Protective Coloring Cream safeguards cuticles during the chemical process
• Caring Shampoo gently removes residues without stripping color
• Caring Deep Conditioner restores moisture and smooths the hair surface
• Non-drip crème consistency reduces mess and improves even coverage

Will it really cover stubborn gray hairs?

Excellence Crème is formulated to provide full gray coverage, including more resistant white or silver hairs. The permanent color chemistry is optimized to penetrate and deposit uniform pigment for consistent medium brown shade across gray areas.

• Designed for 100% gray coverage, including stubborn grays
• Permanent formula ensures lasting pigment retention
• Three-step routine improves color durability on treated hair

Which hair types and textures work best with this shade?

This medium brown shade and the non-drip crème formula are made to accommodate all hair types—straight, wavy, curly, and coiled. The product range includes 27 shades, so choosing a compatible base and processing time helps achieve the intended result.

• Suitable for fine to coarse hair and diverse textures
• Crème format clings to hair for even application on curly textures
• Follow the package insert for shade-specific timing and tips

How should I use the three included steps for best results?

Follow the package instructions for timing and sequence: mix and apply the Protective Coloring Cream, rinse and shampoo as directed, then finish with the Caring Deep Conditioner to lock in moisture and smooth the cuticle. Consistent use of the care products helps prolong color vibrancy.

• Mix and apply the Protective Coloring Cream per the enclosed directions
• Rinse thoroughly, then use the Caring Shampoo to cleanse gently
• Apply the Caring Deep Conditioner to seal cuticles and hydrate
• Use heat protection and color-safe products between applications

Who is this for: This kit is for anyone seeking reliable, salon-level permanent gray coverage at home in a natural medium brown tone while prioritizing hair care. It's suited to people with mature or newly graying hair, those who want longer-lasting color without excessive dryness, and anyone who prefers a complete color-and-care system in one box. If you have a unique hair history (bleached, heavily highlighted, or chemically treated), follow the included instructions closely or consult a professional for personalized timing and technique.
