Recent studies by L’Oreal France revealed 75 per cent of women 65 years and older tended to stop colouring their hair due to the colouring process being too laborious and grey roots showing too quickly. With this in mind, L’Oréal Paris has created a home hair colour for mature hair, transforming tresses with 100 per cent coverage of greys. Excellence Age Perfect Hair Colour blends grey roots as hair grows thanks to its formulated Layered Colour Technology (LCT) so the colour can adapt to different grey pigment levels. The colour is full of naturallooking highs and lows while masking greys and blending re-growth. Colouring is made easier than ever with Excellence Age Perfect Hair Colour’s two-sided application brush for hard-to-reach spots, making it a breeze to pull colour through the hair lengths. Delivering translucent coverage specifically designed for greys, this wonder product reinstates the hair’s natural tone and shine throughout, providing beautifully blended highlights with no need to colour as often. Excellence Age Perfect Hair Colour (RRP $25.59), available at all leading supermarkets, pharmacies and department stores.
