I have dark brown hair with greys starting to protrude around my crown. I usually colour my hair using permanent dyes, however, tried L'Oréal Casting Creme in the colour Iced Chocolate. It was easy to use and I found the smell quite pleasant. I love the smell of the conditioner. After colouring my hair felt nice and soft and smelt lovely; my husband even told me my hair smelt nice! The colour was just right, nice and glossy and not too dark as with some darker browns which tend to go black. What I like about this colour is that the colour does gradually wash out but it doesn't leave a raccoon type look which permanent hair colours do.

Tips: Follow instructions and don't leave longer on than the recommended time.
I don’t yet have any greys but definitely love that glossy hint of colour that dyeing my hair provides. This hits the spot by giving my hair loads of shine and a bit more depth to my otherwise blah brown hair. Unfortunately my dark hair prevents me from experimenting too much but have tried a few different shades in this range and have been impressed by them all (chocolate is a fave- a warm reddish brown). This isn’t super stinky like some dyes and application is pretty straight forward. These are also a great price and leave hair feeling amazingly soft without having to worry about regrowth. Will definitely repurchase- in fact I already have a box in the cupboard which I’ll use soon!
This hair colour is my favourite. It makes my hair super soft, shimmery and glossy while giving it a fresh bright boost of colour! I only use it every now and then just to brighten my natural colour and it looks lovely. It also last ages, much much longer that 28 shampoos. The only thing is it is quite smelly, I’m not a fan of the conditioner it comes with for after; it smells quite strong. I use it because it makes my hair super shiney but then use my own conditioner after to mask the intensity of the smell.
Tips: Watch out for the smell afterwards.
I use this instead of permanent colours, and really like the depth of colour, and also how it slowly fades out. After colouring my hair is soft and shiny. The colour coverage of my greys is excellent, and the fade/wash-out of colour is relatively slow and I tend to see regrowth before the colour has significantly washed out. I don't think the colour ever removes completely though, so I tend to now just touch up roots and put it randomly through some strands rather than a full head - but I really like the product.
I measure it out and use a bowl/brush to apply rather than using all the product at once as I have very short hair, so I can get easily 2-3 applications using it this way, just doing my roots and measuring to the required ratio.
Great product for the price.
I have been dying my hair black for such a long time and usually use permanent dyes. I thought I would try a semi in Ebony Black and see how it went. It comes with all the standard dye bits and bobs and the ridiculously huge gloves which never fit my tiny hands.
I have very long hair so purchased 2 of these which came to $36 which is a heck of a lot cheaper than going to a salon. I have dyed my hair for so long I never read the instructions so I just dive right in. It is quick and easy to mix together, I use the first bottle to get all my roots, greys and the top half of my head done then the second bottle to saturate the rest of my hair.
I always let dye sit for 45 minutes. This washed out quite well which was good. The conditioner that comes with it is really nice. After my hair was dry it was super shiny! It looked healthy and fresh. My greys were covered perfectly and it was even all over.
Each wash this gradually washed out. But I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so it lasted a good 6-8 weeks which I was stoked with. Overall it is a wonderful dye which gives you amazing results for a box dye. I would certainly use this again.
I have never dyed my hair permanently before - been too scared with the colour commitment. This Castin Creme however was great for me to change my hair colour up without regretting it later. I bought a mahoganny type shade and found the colour really beautiful. It was a subtle tint which really shone in the sunshine. The extra moisturising bottle that's included really makes your hair super soft and shiny.
Tips: Get these on special - they often do a buy one, get one free or half price! Also, if you have long hair you probably will need 2 boxes.
Yes, it's one of my favourite color and brand. I often switch between different brands and colors as per my mood and choice. Since I do it at home so I like to play and be creative with my hair. I like Loreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss because it gives shiny and soft look to my hair. Specially in day and bright lights I can't belive it's my own hair as it just looks like the ones that we see in Ads. However, it does not give good coverage to my greys but overall I like it's quality.
Tips: For stubborn greys like I have, I apply to roots first quickly and then the rest of hair so that the grey hair coverage is better. And give a good massage to roots after complete application.
Being a redhead, I hate using permanent colours in my hair because the regrowth just look horrendous compared to the colour I change to, so being a semi permanent product it slowly fades back out to my normal colour so there isn’t a regrowth problem, it’s amazing and I swear by it!!
Tips: Just don’t layer box over box because it will STAY. Put several dark browns on top of each other and I was left VERY dark brown for quite a while haha.
These are great for a wash out dye however dont be fooled they do stain your hair and leave colour build up on your hair. I bleached my hair years ago and had only ever used this dye and all of the colour build up stayed and was showing! However if you are not planning on going lighter at any time then these a perfect for a quick fix without the commitment!
I have used the shades Honey Amber (no longer available unfortunately!), Amber, and Mahogany. All gave beautiful rich colour without drying out my hair. I love that it is not a permanent colour, as it is a good way to experiment in different shades without committing to any one look for too long. It also grows out really naturally.
The conditioner that comes with the pack is very high quality, and I appreciate the inclusion of gloves. I don't bother with the applicator, as I actually found it quite difficult to use. I just mixed it in a bowl and put it in my hair with my fingers! Maybe not the best technique, but it worked for me!
Tips: If you have thick and/or long hair, you may want to use two packets.
