How does this shade look and who is 5AR Medium Maple Brown best for?

5AR Medium Maple Brown is a warm medium brown with golden‑red undertones that brightens natural brown hair without being too bold. It flatters neutral to warm skin tones and works well if you want a natural, sunlit brown rather than an ashy or cool result.

• Warm medium brown with subtle red‑gold highlights.
• Designed to blend and fully cover gray hair.
• Suitable for natural brown hair wanting added warmth and shine.
• Pairs well with warm or neutral skin undertones.

What’s included in this two‑count Excellence Crème kit and how does the Triple Care routine work?

Each kit contains the Protective Coloring Cream, developer, and applicator plus a caring shampoo and a rich deep conditioner. The Triple Care routine focuses on protecting hair during coloring, gently cleansing afterward, and sealing in moisture for longer‑lasting color.

• Protective Coloring Cream for non‑drip application and even color deposition.
• Caring Shampoo with hyaluronic acid to cleanse without stripping color.
• Caring Deep Conditioner with hyaluronic acid to seal the cuticle and add moisture.
• Detailed package insert with shade‑specific instructions and timing.

How do I use this product safely at home and get the best results?

Read and follow the included instructions and safety warnings before coloring; perform an allergy patch test 48 hours prior. Apply to dry hair, follow the recommended development time for this shade, then rinse and use the included shampoo and conditioner to lock in color and hydration.

• Perform the 48‑hour allergy test first; never skip this step.
• Mix the coloring cream with developer as instructed; apply evenly to dry hair.
• Rinse thoroughly, then use the Caring Shampoo and Deep Conditioner.
• Adjust timing only per package guidance for more or less lift.

How long will the color last and how should I maintain it?

This permanent color is formulated to provide long‑lasting coverage, with results that can fade gradually over weeks depending on hair care habits. Use color‑safe shampoos, avoid excessive heat, and apply the included deep conditioner frequently to keep tone and moisture locked in longer.

• Expect lasting, permanent color with gradual fading over time.
• Use sulfate‑free or color‑safe products between touchups.
• Minimize frequent hot‑water washing and high‑heat styling to preserve shade.
• Deep condition weekly to maintain shine and reduce brassiness.

Who is this for: L'Oreal Paris Excellence Crème 5AR Medium Maple Brown is for anyone seeking reliable permanent gray coverage with a warm medium brown finish, especially those who want a conditioned feel after coloring. It suits people with neutral to warm undertones and those looking for a user‑friendly at‑home kit that includes post‑color care products to help maintain moisture and color longevity.
