How would "deep plum" (L'oreal's 416 Excellence creme) hair colour suit an Indian (dusky) skintone?

And how long does L'Oreal's Excellence Creme Permanent hair colour stay, anyway?

Well assuming that you hair is naturally a very dark brown probably close to black (level 1 or 2), it won't look like you dyed it at all except for in sunlight or bright light ...where your hair will look a very deep reddish purple....which sounds pretty nice for the autumn season



The hair dye you're planning on using is a level 4 shade and since you're buying it in the box kit, the developer that is mixed with the hair color is not going to be strong enough to get your hair the shade on the box. Honestly those hair dyes are meant for people that are only going no more than 2 levels lighter...if they're going darker it really doesn't matter.



If you really want to get your hair that color you'll have to make a trip to be beauty supply store or the salon.



Here's a chart with the haircolor levels:

To answer your question about permanent hair color, it's meant to stay in for more than 24 shampoos or more...they do fade out depending on your hair condition and how you take care of it but, they don't fade back to your natural haircolor.
Reply:it looks really nice as highlights though only if its long if your hair is short like shoulder then it will look bad
Reply:Use Microsoft Paint (it comes with Windows) on a picture of yourself with your hair changed to the color you think it will turn out. There are even better, but costly probgrams that can do that. Some programs even let you change hairstyles.
Reply:I think it would bring out the deep reds in your skintone, that would be really good.



It stays on until you wash it off. :]
