L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

Firstly - you'll notice that it's a tad more pricey than other at home hair dyes, but in my opinion it is totally worth it!

Firstly the packaging is great - it looks so sleek and pink and pretty. :) I bought mine in Black Cherry. The colour was great and it looked very similar to the model on the box for my dark hair colour. The one disappointing thing was the gloves - flimsy and rips easily which is not great, as I want the dye to end up on my hair not my fingers. However, I do like the formula of this one - more so than the Garnier one that I have also used. It doesn't sting the scalp like the Garnier one does, and it also smells better. Usually hair dyes give me a headache due to the smell, but the L'oreal one is great - smells gooood (for a hair dye).

I find that this formula is also a lot less drying, and coupled with the condition, I find that the colour lasts and my hair stays supple and smooth.

Overall, I really like the results - both the colour and the condition of my hair, and if I were to do a home-dye, I will definitely repurchase.

I really liked this hair dye, it was super simple to apply and the amount you get is very generous. I have medium to long length hair and I had an ample amount after applying to my whole head. I find the colour awesome and very vibrant ( i used blackcurrant) and I have had lots of compliments since doing it. The give a huge amount of conditioner as well. The only thing I didn't like is the gloves they provide, they were really tight to get on and one ripped! I'm not sure if it's because I have big hands or??.. lol overall though, fab hair color and I'll be purchasing again! Thanks BR and L'Oréal!

I trialed the licorice colour of this range, the packaging was bold and bright would stick out on the shelf for sure also the side of the box has a push out part to put the bottle in to hold it there while u put developer in,i mixed the two parts together and shook it up it mixed together very easily and smelt great was quick to apply i kept it in for recommended time of 20 minutes and that was all the time that was needed it washed out easily and the conditioner made my hair feel great im really impressed with the colour and how well it worked overall i am very happy with this product and will be using again in the future

I was so excited to be asked to join this trial. I dye my hair every 2-3 months, because I am super conscious of my grey hairs, and it doesn't help my mother in law picks them out. "You're how old and you already have greys!?" Can someone say rude?

First impressions of this product... I like the box! I love pink, so naturally, I like this. The opening of the box reminded me of a milk carton, I don't know why. Maybe it was the way it was folded! I also like that you can smell the product as soon as you open the box, even before. That's a nice bonus!

Took me a while to find the gloves, but when I did, my first thought was "what the hell!?" I have no idea who they were made for, and I do have somewhat little hands, but these gloves are ridiculous. I tore both of mine just trying to get them on. I did like the way they felt before I put them on, but the fact that they didn't slip on easily, or off for that matter, really puts me off. It was almost tempting to just dye my hair without the gloves.

The bottles are labelled 1 and 2, and you mix them together. Easily labelled, and they mixed together really well. They smelled really nice, thanks to the ammonia free formula. The color I got when the two mixed together was a gooooorgeous purple (odd, as the color is a browny/red!). The liquid was runnier than what I'm used to, but I only made a small mess which was easily cleaned with hot water.

After waiting the time needed, 20 minutes, I rinsed this out. I was also bleaching some parts of my hair at the time, and I was super happy that the color of Black Cherry didn't bleed into the bleach. It took 5-10 minutes for the color to be rinsed out, but it still bled a little.

I shampooed my hair as I usually do after I dye it, and then I put the conditioner through. Firstly, I really hate the conditioner. The smell, the way it made my hair feel... No deal. Between this and the gloves, they are the biggest reasons why I wouldn't repurchase this product. The conditioner gave me a headache and I only used half the bottle (over two washings) and I threw the rest out. It made my hair feel greasy and just really not nice. It was a generous amount of conditioner though.

The color pay off is pretty decent - on top of my head the red cherry color comes through really well, but down the lengths and tips I don't see any red, just darker. I still love how it came out though. It's darker than what I go for, but I LOVE it. I washed my hair 3 times after dying my hair, and each time it bled out. Today is the only day it hasn't, so I guess it has stopped.

Overall, I don't know if I would repurchase this. The conditioner and gloves are the biggest let down, but the color makes up for it, so I'm on the fence.

UPDATE!: It has been less than a month since I dyed my hair, and the red color is all but gone, and my greys are back with a force that tells me they never really left. Great dye when you're in a pickle, but now I know I won't be buying again.

I really enjoyed this product, it doesn't have a strong smell that most hair colours have, and it's ammonia free which is a bonus. It was easy to work with and I found it went along way in my thick long hair, the colour is beautiful and my hair is so shiny and soft. I think this is my go to hair colour when I need a touch up at home .

i had the very light pearl blonde shade. the instructions were easy to follow and the processing didn't take as long as other dyes either.i really loved the smell it had and it didn't have that chemical smell dyes usually have, and it didn't have that itchiness to it either which was great, the only problem i did have was that it didn't change the colour of my roots but it did lighten the rest of my hair, they give you lots of conditioner though which was great and my hair does have a nice shine to it now as well, im just disappointed about my roots.

This smells wonderful smells very floral and just plain yummy great coverage nice colour doesn't wash out like a perm colour after a few days still smells great lasting shine all round great for a 28 washes Awesome would purchase for sure

I was so excited to try the L'oreal casting creme gloss hair dye. The colour shade i have chosen was Ice truffle 513 and i was very pleased with the coverage and the colour i have selected.

This was very easy to apply by myself. Wasnt a messy job to do. I just applied enough amount onto my glove to get the hair dye on evenly.The thing that suprise me was everytime i would colour my hair, theres never enough dye left to cover my whole hair but with this product it had enough amount to cover my whole hair which i was extremly happy about.

This product has a nice pleasant fruity smell which was good. No yucky chemical smell that would sting your eyes. You also get a conditioner treatment that smell incredible, leaving your hair feeling really soft and very hydrating.

Overall I would definitely recommend this product and you get your money worth with the amount of hair dye that is leftover which is great for somebody like me with long thick hair.

My hair is naturally dark blonde, and I got this to trial in the shade Dark Blonde to enhance my hair's colouring and to keep it looking natural.

The instructions were easy to follow, the pack included gloves, developer, colour tube and some conditioner. It was easy to mix together, and applying it was easy as it was quite a thick liquid, and covered all my medium length hair. The smell wasn't overpowering as it does not contain ammonia. I left it in for about 25 minutes to develop, then washed it out. The pack came with some delicious smelling conditioner, which was used after rinsing my hair. Once my hair was dryed off, my hair is super soft and glossy. My hair has a lovely intensity and sheen to it that it was previously lacking. And I love how it has taken some of the frizziness away. I would definitely recommend using this product again!

This is great! Covered all the grey. I have never used a hair colour that you have to wet your hair first. But this really seemed to help the coverage. It come out with all over coverage and a deep rich colour!
