L'Oreal Paris Excellence Hicolor Blonde Hilights Copper Red Ad, 1 Count

Gorgeous color - but it fades!

Get your redhead on! This luxurious creme mixes up so beautifully creating a long lasting color for dark hair. HiColor reds sell out quickly and the price is amazing! Just remember to cover up before you color as red stains don't come out.

I used L’Oréal HiColor Copper Red on my locs and the color payoff is BEAUTIFUL. My hair was previously colored and had faded to a warm brown, and this gave me a rich, vibrant copper-red without bleaching. In natural light it really pops, but it still looks deep and dimensional indoors. It processed evenly and didn’t leave patchy spots, which I was nervous about with locs. Definitely use gloves and deep condition afterward because it can be a little drying. If your hair is very dark and virgin, don’t expect a super bright red without lifting first. But on previously colored or lighter hair, this shade is stunning. I would absolutely repurchase.

Excelente, hermoso buena calidad

Like many other reviews, I did not end up with a copper tone, but instead very deep red-brown. I had an ash blonde shade (bleached months before from dark brown), so there was no shade conflict, nor was the hair damaged. I used this shade way back when it was a commercial box color with perfect results, not sure what happened now, as I am familiar with stylist mixing too, and have done many times before with other shades. Everything done to precision, right time, etc. For the first time ever, my hair got very sticky and it did not rinse well, it over saturated badly. I had to remove this color all together. Shame.
