L'Oreal Professional Majicontrast Red, 1.7 Ounce

Perfect, lovely colour

I’ve been using L’Oréal Majirel Rouge Mix for almost 15 years, and it has never let me down. It's the best, brightest, most stunning red I've ever had. (People stop me in the street and comment on it!) When I first started using it, my base was brunette and I used Oxydant 2 to lift enough depth for that proper pillar-box red. As time has gone on and I’ve become much greyer at the roots, Oxydant 1 is now perfectly sufficient—in fact I get a cleaner result with less lift and more deposit. What makes Rouge Mix different from almost every other “red” in the salon range is the purity of its red chromatic base. Most commercial reds are built from mixtures that lean on copper or violet sub-tones (to sit correctly at different levels), so they inevitably show warmth (orange/copper) or coolness (violet/magenta) depending on undertone. Rouge Mix uses a highly saturated red direct-dye component that deposits a very “primary” red with minimal secondary reflect, so it stays visually neutral instead of drifting toward pink or ginger. (Anyone who has spent years counteracting secondary undertones will know how unusual that is in a permanent system.) The formulation itself has always been gentle and surprisingly conditioning for a high-pigment red. I have thin, slightly frizzy hair that tends to break, and L’Oréal has consistently been the most reliable in terms of strength, softness and shine. No chalkiness, no dulling after a couple of shampoos. Rouge Mix is quite hard to get these days, but there's still some around if you look. If you’re buying online, double-check the listing carefully. Some sellers are now pushing “Red Booster” as if it’s the same thing - it isn’t. Rouge Mix is a direct colour line, not an additive, and the booster doesn’t recreate the same tone or performance. I’m soooo sad this is going - if you ever see genuine Rouge Mix stock online, it’s absolutely worth grabbing (just don’t be palmed off with the booster). xx PS. I'm now looking for a replacement formula - I'm currently thinking along these lines: Majirouge Carmilane 70% with Majirel 6.66 30%, plus Oxydant 1 (or perhaps 80%:20% for an even brighter red?) Not tried this yet though!

I don’t use anything else! This product works great and really brightens up my hair to a vivid bright red. This needs to be used correctly so please follow the instructions. I mix mine with 30 volume as I have dark hair but please get professional advice! Great price and a great product

Great colour, covers grey hair really well. Good value for money.

All good

Great price just wanted a few highlights putting in my hair to add a lift to my slightly grey strands which are appearing, this has worked perfectly it’s given my hair a lift of brightness.

I love this colour. Im a brunette and I find the colour comes through great. I don't pre lighted my hair. I use this mixed with 20 vol & some of the majirel rouge booster. Perfect every time & doesn't fade out too quickly.

Great thanks
