Loreal Mahogany 550 Review

Hi guys!

I am very excited to say that I have coloured my hair with Loreal Mahogany 550!  This product is best known for being made famous by Cheryl Cole.

I bought two boxes of this shade from my local Boots chemist .  I have previously mentioned that I used one box whilst dyeing my hair with Loreal Light Brown (review here) however, I would definitely recommend using two boxes for the Mahogany 550 (if you have long or thick hair) to ensure that there is no patchiness.

I originally found it very difficult to get an accurate picture of my result with my camera phone (sorry!) but here are the latest pics:

Loreal Mahogany 550 - Immediately after dyeing (excuse the shades, I was wearing no make-up!)

Loreal Mahogany 550 - A few days later (pre-birthday celebrations!)

I personally think that the shade is a bit more "plum" than "red" (compared to Cheryl's).  Day-to-day it reminds me of the shade often sported by Vanessa White (The Saturdays)

Overall this is a result I am very happy with!

The dye itself was very easy to use and not as runny as I usually find them, which is great as it meant that my bathroom was not completely destroyed!

I am also absolutely amazed at the condition it has left my hair in!  I expected it to feel very dry because it is such a strong colour but my hair has never felt better!  The Loreal dyes come with their own conditioner to use whilst rinsing the dye out and the best thing about buying two boxes is that I now have plenty of this conditioner to last for weeks!  I have also been using Loreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss conditioner recently which is another amazing product and I will hopefully be reviewing it very soon!

There you have it, another great hair dye result!  Don't be afraid to experiment!

Have fun!  =)
