Excellent Semi-perm Product
Let me preface this review by clearing up some misconceptions about semi-perm hair coloring products. First, this is a semipermanent hair color, meaning its not going to lift and change your existing hair color. So, if you have black hair, its not going to make it red. If you have brunette hair, its not going to make it blonde. Additionally, semipermanent hair color tends to come out much darker, especially after you've freshly colored with it, in order to keep the shade in longer as it fades in about 28 shampoos, so you may want to go a shade lighter if you are worried about a too deep shade or are stuck between deciding amongst shades. In order to get the best results, you need to understand this will work best if you are staying within approx 2 shades of your natural color. Any desires for a drastic hair color change really need to be made in a salon. All of that being said, this product is now my preferred semipermanent hair color product, even over my former fave- natural instincts. My hair is a medium brown with warm undertones, I used the shade "Truffle", which is a medium natural brown. The scent of the color is very similar, except lighter, to most of the L'Oreal hair colors. Once applied, the product looked like a melted chocolate bar on my head and the color result was a nice dark chocolate brown. I have some grays, approx 20% maybe? And this completely covered them which no other semi permanent product has ever done. Additionally, it rinsed out like a dream and my hair felt great even before using the after color conditioner that came in the box. Oh, and that conditioner left my hair super silky without it being weighed down and they give enough for several additional weekly conditioning treatments. My hair was exactly my natural color, all grays covered, was super shiny and felt in better condition that it was prior to coloring. This is a 10 minute color but the box recommended leaving it on for 15 minutes for resisitant grays so that is what I did. I was truly impressed with this product and would definitely repurchase it. I use the L'Oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner to wash my hair and I have had very, very gradual fading and no staining clothes or pillowcases. Depending on what a friend might be looking for in a hair color, I'd recommend this one if it would fit their needs. — 7 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Fantastic Color
I tried this for the first time in Cafe Noir/Black. The "results swatch" as well as the model's hair is lighter (dark brown) than the name, so it's not accurate. My hair literally came out black. After the first shampoo there were brown highlights. Very natural looking. I've only used this a few days ago so will update later how well it holds up to the 28 shampoos. I'm shampooing every other day and conditioning every day. Only con is the formula is thin/runny so difficult to saturate all my hair, I missed a spot on the side. I have long hair (1/3rd down my back) and there was just enough dye. The color came out fantastic (instructions for Cafe Noir states you need to leave on for 15 minutes, not 10 min.) I will try the Espresso/Darkest Brown next. Can't wait to try out the other colors. Update September 2011: I first wrote the above review in April 2011. The Cafe Noir/Black did not hold up to the 28 shampoos. It started to fade fairly quickly. I would say I enjoyed the color the first two weeks. After that it was too light for my liking. It fades gradually. I also tried the Espresso/Darkest Brown shade but would not use again; it was dark but had too much of a reddish tint to it. It came out more of a reddish dark brown. It's a good way to test out colors but if there's a shade you like you would have to dye every 2-3 weeks to maintain it so it's high maintenance. I'm lowering my original rating of 9 down to a 7. — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful
