L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I have use these products since I was a teenager. I always come back to use these when I can't afford to colour my hair at the salon. I consider these to be a holy grail product in terms of at home hair colouring. I use the shade Mahogany. A beautiful reddish-brown colour that looks very natural. The box contains two bottles, gloves, instructions and royal jelly condition. Application is really easy, mix the two bottles together and you are ready to colour. I found the best way to colour my hair at home is to put the product in a mixing bowl and use a brush to apply. These colours always give you amazing coverage and shine to your hair.

They are really conditioning on your hair having no ammonia and being semi-permanent they aren't drying on your hair either. l'oreal have really thought of everything with these colour that come in a range of shade and they definitly last 6 weeks.

I always buy supermarket products to dye my hair, mainly because salon treatment/colour is far too expensive especially if you have to keep it up every 6-8 weeks. This product has always been my go-to. Love it and the colors are beautiful and natural looking.

This is a really good hair colour. It makes your hair so glossy and healthy looking. The product is really easy to use. It looks so natural and last for 28 shampoos. It slowly fades out which is good so you don't get that re growth coming through. Good price too!

I love this hair colour range Iv been using it for years from being blonde to light brown to a dark brown! I love that its semi permanent and the colour lasts. I like the selection of colours they have in this range also. The smell isn't strong like permanent colour so I always go for this one even though its semi permanent.

I'm a home hair dyer from waaaaay back. I'm talking 16, yes, 90's, back when burgandy ruled the hair wavz. Flashforward to 2014. Hair suddenly thinned, was flat, in a state of long term stress. I could not continue with permanent hair dye, my hair needed a break, but I not going to settle for (shock horror) NATURAL hair colour. Enter Loreal Casting Creme Gloss 300 - Darkest Brown. I had high hopes. Box is user friendly, states no Ammonia, Semi-Permanent, Lasts up to 28 shampoos. Photo of someone with dark hair, a swath of dark brown hair along the front, small pic of yellow honey comb, to reflect the "with Royal Jelly". Pink accents, carried over into internal packaging. Words like "Glossy" "Non-drip" "full of visible shimmering tones" "Irresistable Fruity Fragrance" spring off the box. You get the picture. Inside, what you expect in a home hair kit. Clear bottle of developer liquid, tube of creme colour in bright pink, plastic gloves that fit my fat kiwi fingers, instructions in English and one foreign language with an NZ 0800 number. I found instructions hard on the eyes, foreign language was distracting, mixed in between the english. Would have prefered this was separate. A third bottle of Royal Jelly Conditioner. Standard hair dye packaging and contents. Colourant creme is a shiny gloss, mixes easily in bottle, applies easily and, voila, no drips! It doesn't smell bad, but I wouldn't eat its delicate irrestible fruity goodness. Go make a coffee, come back in 20 mins. Hop in shower. This stuff rinses out really well! I have white walls in my shower and was worried my Darkest Brown would mark, no problem however. About 2 mins in and I was done. Now for the Royal Jelly Conditioner. OH I LOVE THIS STUFF. When I die, I want to be bathed in Loreal Royal Jelly Conditioner. It smells. So. Good. It does a great job of conditioning, the bonus for me is it doesn't block my scalp pores like other conditioners do. Its like a hair mask, its so good. At the end - colour is fabulous! Rich, vibrant, intense, shiny, strong pigment with ... hold on ..., I can almost see them "shimmering tones" ... Hair does not feel dry. There is none of that bleach/ammonia/I just killed my hair feeling. Its soft. Bouncy. There is no colour left on my scalp. I am 2 months down and still the colour goes on, and I wash my hair about 3-4 times a week. I love my hair colour. Since using this product over the past year, my hair has completely restored, split ends and breakages seem a thing of the past. I have less hair fall. I'm a convert and won't go back to permanent.

I like how easy it was to put on and gave an even coverage. Covered the greys perfectly and the colour end result very glossy and pretty close to what was expected or showing on the box. Give a good boost to my hair as well. The colour I found lasted longer than what was said on the fox and not much fading which is good. Even on long hair I had enough with one box. Also the stain on skin wasn't too hard to rub off.

Easy to use colour and very close to colour on the box. Nice and natural but not covering everything. Shiny & glossy finish.

I have been using L'Oreal Casting Ceme Gloss for many years. I had tried many semi permanent colours but did not like the results. However, this product really suits my hair. When living overseas I would take back 6 months supply back from each visit to NZ to ensure I had the look and colour I preferred as some colours were not available in China. This product leaves my hair well conditioned, glossy and covers grey so well. In fact, people think I have highlighted hair but it is just the effect of one colour. L'Oreal give a generous amount of conditioner too. Application is easy, not messy, and in half an hour the process is done. People think it is my actual hair colour!!!!! It is so cost effective. I am disappointed that supermarkets do not stock my colour thus I do not get their specials but my local pharmacy usually has biannual buy 3 for price of two which is cost effective. My hairdresser compliments me on my 'colour job' and agrees this product really suits my hair. I have introduced many friends to this product.
