Don't be afraid of the "New and Improved" formula
I have been using Preference hair color for over 25 years, and shade #8 medium blond exclusively for the last five years. I color my regrowth only every six weeks, and when I noticed last year that they changed the formula I was terrified of disaster and purchased every box of the old formula that I could find. Well my stash finally ran out and I was forced to use the new formula for the first time. I don't care about the smell changing or the texture being more runny as others have complained with the new formula... I just want the color to turn out the same as it always has and since I dye my regrowth only I did not want to end up with two different colors on my head. Upon opening the box I noticed the developer has changed from 20 volume to 25. More peroxide, and more lift. Knowing this, I reduced the total time I let it sit on my head from my usual 40 to 30 minutes. I also brushed it through the length of my hair with an applicator brush once it had been applied to the roots. I am pleased to say it turned out beautifully and looks the same as it normally does. I am not sure why L'Oreal decided to change the formula that worked so well for so many for dozens of years. But all of the previous reviews from the long-time users like myself had me absolutely terrified as they all seemed to have bad experiences, but for me it turned out alright. Just follow the new instructions for reduced processing time and blend it through the length of your hair and you should be okay.
2025 new formula 2.5 stars. Previously 5 stars.
I've used L'Oréal Preference for 20 plus years and always been very happy. However the formula must have changed in 2025. It is so thin now that it drips everywhere and takes longer to color my grey hair. Not to mention that the price has gone up. I will be looking for a different drug store hair color.
Hi juliemariebrown! We understand being concerned when a product you have used appears different than expected. Preference was reformulated. The new formula provides improved richer color, longer lasting high definition color, and better long term coverage of grays. Feedback from our customers is important to us when making decisions about our products and services. We appreciate your feedback and will be sharing it with others in our company.
Does not cover grey anymore
I have used shade #4 superior preference since 2021. I bought two boxes of the new formula and the first box did not cover my grey roots. I just used the second box and left the product on a bit longer 35 min and it did not cover the greys very well again. It is frustrating to have this with the new formula as you would think it would be better. Please go back to old formula.
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us about your experience with the Superior Preference Fade Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color, in the 4 Dark Brown shade. We are sad to hear that this did not give the gray coverage you had hoped for. We know this can be frustrating and we will share this with our production team. We suggest checking out the Triple Care Color Excellence Creme which is for 100% gray hair coverage for all hair types, even on stubborn grays. We hope that you will give this a try and love your results.
