L'Oréal Préférence 74 Mango Copper Luminous Permanent Hair Colour for Radiant Shine
Mango copper is the bright end of the copper family, closer to a sunset orange than to auburn, and 74 is formulated to keep that brightness rather than let it dull. High intensity pigment does the colour work. The High Shine Conditioner, enriched with precious oil, is what keeps the finish soft instead of the straw texture bright coppers can leave behind.
Eight weeks is the rated wear. Realistically, coppers reward a bit of care, and cooler water, a colour safe shampoo and fewer washes all buy you time. The kit is a complete permanent application, so there is nothing else to buy alongside it. Best on light to mid bases where the pigment has something to sit against.
Section it properly before you start. Bright coppers show every missed patch, and on the back of the head that usually means asking someone else to check the coverage before you rinse rather than after.

Application tips
Glove up and cover surfaces, because copper marks. Allergy alert test as the leaflet sets out, well before the day you colour.
Colour goes onto dry hair, sectioned into four. Roots first when you are lightening, lengths first when you are topping up faded ends. Rinse until the water loses its orange tint, then condition. Keep the first wash a couple of days away.
Results
Mango is in the name for a reason. This reads closer to sunset orange than to auburn, bright and warm rather than earthy.
The shine is high and the finish smooth, so it looks like a deliberate colour instead of a faded one. Hair feels soft after the conditioner rather than stripped, and the intensity holds well past the point most coppers give up.

- Vitamin E
- Antioxidant that conditions the strand once the colour has been rinsed
- Sodium PCA
- Humectant that holds water in the hair so it stays supple
- Amodimethicone
- Clings to rough patches, so a comb runs through without snagging
