I used many hair dyes to get the dark blonde colour and then I went to casting creme gloss iced truffle, it covers my last dye and make my hair super soft and glossy and it shows a chocolately light, I didn't like the way that it goes darker first but it will show after a week to the colour u desired . it's the best thing ever, specially the iced chocolate collection.

“Worst hair dye ever!!”
Written on: 02/05/2013 by AngelaJane68 (1 review written)
Absolutely the worst hair dye I've ever had the misfortune to use, and I've used a few, considering I'm now in my forties and started going grey at 21! It left my hair dry and damaged, so much so that I struggled to gently comb through it afterwards. I don't think I've ever run so fast to get my hot oils! Despite people raving about how good the conditioner is, it was disgusting and smelt of cat's wee, I kid you not. Yuk! Other hair dye conditioners at least mask the damage done with... (read more)

I've never had my hair dyed before, nor had I ever dyed it myself. But as I discovered more and more grey/white hairs at 25 (thanks mom!), mostly around my temples, I decided to try a DIY kit. I bought the L'oreal Casting Creme Gloss, as I didn't want a permanent hairdye, but with a color that was as close to my natural color as possible. I naturally have light to medium brown colored hair to about 10 cm past my shoulders, with a golden sort of shine. However, I didn't want to bring out... (read more)

“Great Hair Dye”
Written on: 11/12/2012
Having had a range of experiences with MANY hair dyes over the years i was really happy with the outcome of this product. My hair is naturally really dark brown so i used 'chocolate truffle'. My hair had a gorgeous shine afterwards and a very natural tone. Having fallen into the trap previously of buying a dark brown for my own hair, i was aware that this always equals black not matter what brand you use. Unfortunately for me in my experience the dye was permanent and not a semi like this... (read more)

I have dyed light blonde hair in good condition, and chose the Iced Blonde (910) shade to do my roots and also to (hopefully) enhance my overall colour. First of all, the main Developer Cream bottle has a tapered bottom so you cannot set it down but have have to try and balance it between your knees to squeeze the metal Creme Colourant tube into it. Very difficult. Then the bottle's design also makes it extremely hard to hold and to squeeze out the mixture onto the hair. I have used... (read more)

I have now washed my hair and it looks a bit better. But it's more of a greeny-grey-blonde and NOT glossy in the least. And it doesn't look anything like the box.

Written on: 17/09/2012
My natural hair colour is dark brown, but I've got some grey so I thought I would try a semi permanent colour to rid myself of the grey. I picked LOreal Casting Creme Gloss in Dark Brown - shade 400. I followed the instructions on the box to the letter. I've not coloured, dyed or bleached my hair for nearly 15 years so my hair was natural as it were. The instructions were easy to follow but for me, the end result was shocking! I did do a strand test before I used the colour, the strand test... (read more)

I usually use L'Oreal Preference and loved using it for years. It's getting hard to find now so I bought L'Oreal Casting as I was told by the beauty shop this is replacement for Preference. But I was so disappointed with the colour and the coverage even though I'd been advised on the right colour to buy, read the leaflets twice and followed the instructions to the letter. Now I have to wait four weeks until I can re-colour my hair - but Idefinately won't be using CASTING again. Poor... (read more)

I would not recommend casting creme dye! My hair had gone very light golden brown during the summer and i wanted to go a little darker and even out the colour of my hair/roots. I choose the medium brown 500, left the dye on for 20 minutes (no longer) and my hair has turned out darkest brown/black. Not only this but it a flat colour that doesn't look natural. If using a casting creme i suggest using a colour 2 shades lighter to what you actually want to achieve. the only positive it is has a... (read more)

After using this product for the second time I was informed by a professional hair dresser that this is a PERMENANT hair dye and does not wash out in 24-26 washes! I now have visable roots and odd coloured hair which is having to be fixed for £30 in a salon! I would never recommend this hair dye to a friend EVER! Only gives you shiny hair for a few days then it washes out even using the conditioner provided. Poor out come and poor fading/lifting out. (read more)

I dyed my hair with amber 645 a couple of weeks ago. My hair was previously a medium brownish color, with a LOT of blonde highlights, as i have been trying to return it to its original color (a sort of reddish blonde). Not wanting to ruin my highlights and whatnot, i decided to try this brand out, as it said it would last 6-8 weeks. Before dyeing it, i read a lot of reviews that said that the color didn't really wash out. Despite this, i decided to try it out anyway. The dyeing process is... (read more)

Looking for a temporary colour to blend in your growing out highlights and your light brown roots? Then this is NOT for you! I went from a dark blonde to a dark brown that was impossible to remove. After heavy use of Head and Shoulders,Washing Up liquid etc for 2 weeks I finally ended up at the hair stylists having highlights again. The only thing that can remove this colour is bleach. My stylist said I was lucky that I'd only used the one box! Apparently 2 goes at Castings and even bleach... (read more)

and that colour is natural brownish black. I have lvl 6 brown hair with beautiful naturally sunbleached copper highlights, and I regularly use 8 wash red rinses to brighten up the warm tones. Silly me, I decided to use a semi permanent colour to achieve the same result. I selected Amber, a light ginger red with no underlying cool tones (according to the photos on the box), thinking since it was a lot lighter than my natural hair, it would just add warmth and shine.

I second the reviewer above... This shade came out nothing like the pictures on the box. I freaked out a little at the purple tones that the dye intensified into while waiting for the colour to process (something I did not expect since I, like the above reviewer, dislike cool reds and specifically choose reds which are neutral->warm). ...which means it was almost a relief when after rinsing I found my hair had actually been died... a very dark brown? Even previously highlighted sections of hair (mid-blonde) that I expected to show quite brightly showed no real evidence of red at all. What on earth??
I have experimented with many semi-permanent reds from numerous brands in the past, and I have never had this issue. Also, as the above reviewer mentioned, the Casting shades do seem to come out very dark and are unusually resistant to attempts at diminishing the colour after the dye job, even with harsh and repeated shampooing. Thankfully, time seems to do what shampoo alone cannot, and the intensity does fade in a couple of weeks (if you can put up with the unexpected goth look in the interim). Otherwise your only option is to use a chemical bleach/colour-stripper and rebuild your hair colour, which is insanity, considering many users are choosing these kind of products because they are being marketed as being more gentle on the hair...

Oh my goodness I have exactly the same problem!! Admittedly I do use the darker brown shade however it comes out BLACK!! and it never ever seems to fade. I even used a mild bleach on a strand of hair today and nothing.. no lift whatsoever! You would of thought that as it is supposed to wash out that a mild bleach would get it to atleast a browny colour but no. I have no idea what to do now... hairdressers wont go near my hair because its black.

Alright ladies, I have managed to get this dye out of my hair - this is how I did it, hope it works for you!
1.Wash as soon as possible with an anti dandruff shampoo (shampoo multiple times) and conditioner, i.e within 24 hours of colouring.
2. Every day or two, apply a hot oil treatment and wash with anti dandruff shampoo, shampooing 2 or 3 times, follow with anti dandruff conditioner, then a rich good quality conditioner.
It's taken a whole bottle of the shampoo, and it takes ages to start seeing a difference, but I'm finally very close to my natural colour, and my hair isn't damaged at all thanks to lots of conditioning tlc before and after the harsh washing. I left a conditioning masque on overnight a couple of times too, just to give my hair a little extra love. Ugh, I'm sticking to rinses with no developer in them from now on!

It's actually hard to straighten my hair now when I had this on. But I wouldn't buy this anymore coz Im really not happy with it. Though the positive part of it, is it's got no ammonia so it doesn't have bad smell at all. (read more)

I love Casting. It is the only color I will use on my hair. It's either this or the salon.
I have medium brown hair and I use the light brown shade (600) as these colors tend to come out darker than what you see on the box. (They also last longer too.) I think the color is very natural which is what I'm aiming for. I don't want to look as if I color my hair and for me Casting works.
For gray roots apply it first, wait, and then to the rest of the head.

I have been using the mahogany colour for a few years to cover the first signs of grey -very effective and lasts for 5-6 weeks -despite daily washing.a better cover is obtained by legthening the time of development -20 mins on a usually dark brown hair is very adequate and results in a lovely shine.
Unfortunately this colour is not always available at its retail outlets and often i have to try several outlets before i can make a purchase.

I use the Dark Brown all the time and the colour is fab and the shine is fantastic. I have medium brown hair that is starting to go a bit grey at the sides so this does the job perfectly. You do however have to leave the colour on these areas a little longer just so that it lasts. The colour is dark but with warm red tones. The Darkest Brown is almost black with plum undertones so if you dont want that showing through in the sunlight stick to the dark brown.

Everything that has been suggested and this ginger colour still wont budge! Do not recommend!! (read more)

Hi
<br/>
<br/>I have an excellent tip for removing unwanted hair dye and lightening the colour (this will not work on natural hair). You may find it hard to believe, but take 3-4 heaped tablespoons of vitamin C powder (can find in health shop) and mix with enough head and shoulders to fully lather/work through your hair (dry), if this proves difficult, just add a tiny amount of water to hair to help form a lather. Once fully coated, wrap your hair in cling film for at least 40 minutes (I left mine a couple of hours) - then rinse and shampoo as normal and voilla, you will notice that all the ginger tones have gone. This is completely non harmful and will actuall work to condition your hair!

<br/>I hope this helps, mine had gone all but black and I got it back to mid brown with one attempt and was left with lovely shiny and healthy hair :0)

I went for two shades lighter ( pure natural blond) but my hair looks nearly black!!!! It's the worst hair excperience ever! I can't wait for this disaster on my head to wash out! I am very disapponted!!! (read more)

i haven't coloured my hair for 4 years and have been nurturing it to health. as it is a light mouse brownish shade, i was really sick of it and wanted to add warmth to it. so today, i bought Castings Amber 645. It is NOTHING like the colour on the box. it isn't even reddish. It is a flat drab brown. So, after waiting four years to decide on a colour, I am left disappointed and can't do anything about it until the colour fades. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!! (read more)

Now I`m worried when it wasches away it will be even more red.wont use again.If you are looking for deep red, buy it (read more)

I have naturally dark dark brown hair but it is also very grey-looking although I'm only 16!
Have been colouring my hair for around 2-3 years always semi-perm as I have seen seen so many people go wrong with perm.
My first time using L'oreal colour, I'm a clairol nice & easy fan. I bought Black Cherry. But I will not be using casting Creme gloss again.
My hair felt quite healthy after using the conditioner provided but nothing compared to other brands Inc. Nice & easy.
The colour was not...
