    Ok, so my initial intention was to go a soft, chocolate brown. Not too dark. After trawling through numerous reviews on the internet, I decided to opt for the Iced Chocolate shade as my colour at the moment is a light brown/blonde. At only a fiver it's pretty value for money I'd say.

    Anyway, the time came to mix the solutions together, and I suppose it was ok but it was quite awkward getting the solution out of tube A and it burst too! There's a hole in the box to place the bottle in which helped alot. Once I mixed the solutions together by shaking them, I started putting the solution onto my damp hair. Was really easy, although I did get someone to help me! Left it on for the required 20 minutes then rinsed off and applied conditioner. I couldn't wait to see what it had turned out like! So I dried it, and it's a really dark shade of brown with a sort of purple tint to it - not a really obvious purple just faint highlights. It wasn't really what I had in minde but I quite like it! I think I'd maybe go for a slightly different shade next time! If you're a blonde/light brown haired, I would say go for something slightly lighter than this because it is really dark, I would say it's more of a dark chocolate colour which is really only a few shades off black.

    Best points:
    Cheap
    Easy to apply and rinse off
    Doesn't smell
    Has nice highlights meaning it isn't just a block colour

    Worst points:
    It turned alot darker than I had hoped for
    It wasn't so easy getting the solution out of tube A and it also burst at the bottom! Messy!

    I have been home colouring my hair for over 15 years and have yet to find a colour better than this. My hair is shiney, glossy and oh so pretty. Every time I go out someone tells me they love my hair. Can't rate this colour highly enough.

    When i first used theese products i used the dark chocolate one however it made my hair go really dark wich i hated . So i then used the one thats just called chocolate and i love it have been using it ever since and it makes my hair basically the dark chocolate colour i was trying to get before. So if you want your hair to go chocolate brown by the one that just says chocolate rather than dark chocolate .

    Word of warning, all hair dyes go darker than they show on the box, it is recommended to choose a shade lighter than you want to go, so if you want dark brown you go medium brown it will come out dark. Generally, you should always do a development time check, cut off a small, unnoticeable section of hair, stick with sticky tape, mix a touch of the mixture in a non-metallic ball, apply to the hair, and wait for ten minutes. Rinse. If it's the colour you want, that's the development time, if not, ...

    Fabulous - i use it every six weeks, Iced Chocolate not really for the colour as the shade I use is really close to my natural colour, im 26 and not going grey just yet it leaves me with a fabulous shine. Would reccomend 100% saves me so much money just as good as the salon :)

    I bought a Loreal 'Semi Permanent' Casting Creme Gloss in Dark Chocolate 323, however it seems this hair dye was not 'Semi Permanent' as i used it well over two months ago and the colour has still remained in my hair.
    It also did not come out the colour it shows and came out BLACK!
    So now i have black hair and unsightly roots. Would definetly not reccomend it.

    I have been using Loreal casting creme gloss for a few years now. The first time I tried a brown and came out really dark so then tried amber which was a beautiful colour, really glossy and an unsual shade. I am usually light brown but it just added a lovely warm colour. I had many comments from people about the shade. It is permanent as I found out the first time, but does fade quite a bit so isn't that noticable, with the colour I use. Unfortunately, I went to buy some amber today but canno ...

    I have often used LOreal Casting Creme Gloss and it has always been good. Last night i pre lightend my hair with bleech and it went orange i looked a womble, anyway i knew i would need to sort it. i used shade 900 radiant blonde and it has now toned it down to a strawberry blonde, still a bit gold but not orange. Job done very happy. I will continue to go lighter gradually and will use this as a toner. Chocolate brown is a great tone as well very pleased, i have used most of the brown tones they ...

    I have noticed that some people have the same misconception about L'oreal's Castings Creme Gloss hair color as I did. After I had dyed my hair I found out that hair color isn't fading. Then I called L'oreal's customer service and they confirmed it: It is permanent hair color even though it says in the package that "last 6-8 weeks". It lasts until color grows out of your hair. Now I have very bad looking hair with nasty root growth. If I had known that it is permanent color I'd have never used it ...

    The colour was MEANT to come out as a medium/light ginger, forgotten the name (girl on the pack with a fringe...Maybe ALMOND?) instead I was left with a dull very dark brown, almost black...No hint of ginger whatsoever! It's horrible, still, I've washed it so many times and it just won't come out. I had beautiful strawberry blonde hair before and only wanted to make it a little bit more vibrant ..now I miss it so much. :( I am so upset!! Every time I've washed it, I've washed it 3 times, and wit ...

    Used LOreal Casting Creme Gloss today on my daughters hair - followed the instructions to the letter, but instead of a rich chocolate brown, she now has BLACK hair!

    WE have already washed it 6 times, but shows no sign of fading - would suggest you are very careful with this product!

    Ok, about a week ago I decided I wanted to put some caramel/golden highlights to liven up my mousey brown hair color. Long story short, I ended up with platinum blond highlights that, mixed in with mousey brown - turned me grey. I'm 18.

    Anyway, I bought the Loreal casting creme gloss but, after reading some terrible reviews, bought the permament excellence cream instead in a light brown. it was either that or one shade darker, and as loreal (again, according to reviews) turns out quite dark, i ...

    I used the Praline shade to get dark golden brown. The package shows dark hair, so it came as no surprise that it darkened mine :P

    Firstly, it smelled *good*, and didn't choke me to death with chemicals like most dyes do. It left my hair in better condition, *amazing* glossy shine and noticeable gold, even drowned out some of the red from my previous *disaster* (I used another brand's dark golden blonde shade and it went red-since when is golden blonde red?!).
    I would reccomend LOreal Casting C ...
