I bought this in the iced coffee as i couldn't find the loreal excellence iced coffee or loreal castings chocolate brownie both of which are colours i use fairly often with great result! I have highlighted thick hair which is dark! I usually get to the hairdresser to sort my greys which are few but sometimes i sort my own hair! This turned my hair a very dark ash brown with no warmth and left my hair stuff feeling and really dry! I wouldn't purchase this ever again
