L'OREAL INOA Shade 3 Dark Brown 60g

My hairdresser uses this, but I am not sure the exact shade (my hair is tinted dark brown, but I recall him asking the assistant to mix more than one Inoa colour) so I bought this (#3) and the shade #2, plus the peroxide developer (massive 1L bottle) back in May, but I was reluctant to use it in case I didn’t get it right / it didn’t cover my white roots properly. Important to know that - unlike the usual brands of hair colour you can buy from a chemist or supermarket - this is just a tube of colour. You need to buy the Inoa developer (peroxide) separately and it needs to be the % (strength) required for your colour (i.e. for dark hair It is 20%). After waiting for a long time - my roots were c. 3” long and pearly, blinding white - I finally decided to colour my own hair today, as I couldn’t look in the mirror anymore, but I am still not confident enough going out Post-lockdown and coming in close contact with people in a salon. Messy and time consuming (as per brilliant advice from a fellow Amazon shopper, best use a kitchen scales to weigh 60g of developer / peroxide once you have squeezed the 60g tube of colour (or half of each tube, as I did) into a bowl) the result was salon-like and my hair is back to “normal”! It has freed me from having to wear a wide Lycra band to cover my badger-like roots during video calls or going for walks. My husband keeps saying that I look 10 years younger (bless...). I should have done it a long time ago (pre-pandemic, I had my roots done every three weeks, but I hadn’t been to a hairdresser since 12 March until doing the colour myself today). I have now ordered a couple more tubes, for when those pesky roots start showing up again and I don’t feel like having to wear a mask to have my hair done. The advice from fellow Amazon shoppers on what strength peroxide / developer to buy and the weighing of the colour + developer right proportions was brilliant and invaluable.

Good stuff

Highly recommended product, been using this product for beard couple of years and very easy to use 👌🏻

Worked really well when dying my hair but 1 tube only lasted 2 application and I have short hair

Always use this since my hairdressor used it on me a few times. No amonia and professional quality. Great you can buy on Amazon as i don't have access to a hairdresser wholesale place

Great quality hairdye, good coverage and not drying

As expected. Great price. Been using this brand for years and I love it.

Great product
