L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

This product is great if you pick the right color. I have used it previously with the iced chocolate shade and found that it gave my hair a wonderful shine and added a lovely depth of color. However, with the sample I was sent I tried the dark blonde shade. At first we had an issue with the gloves as they were far too small for my boyfriends hands, then there seemed to be absolutely no color change even though my hair isn't dark blonde to begin with. It has developed with a couple of washes but only seems to be at the roots. While I have had successful results in the past I am disappointed but will probably still use this product in future but be more careful with shade selection.

I was lucky enough to trial another ammonia free hair dye and I have to say that I'm a total convert! You don't get the horrible chemical smell, any excess dye that may have ventured its way onto your face or ears wipes off with ease and you still get the 100% coverage of a dye that does have ammonia in it!

The instruction leaflet was easy to follow and all of the bottles were clearly labeled. I LOVED the conditioner. It's got such a yummy sweet scent and you get a decent amount so you have plenty for extra washes.

What I really loved about this dye, is that it's semi-permanent which means it *should* wash out after about 20 washes. For someone who is maybe trailing new colours, this would be perfect because you get to do that without the complete commitment.

I chose the Light Brown colour in this brand because being summer, I thought it would be nice to go a little lighter than I normally would (I would usually have choc brown). Unfortunately, it's not the colour I got! I ended up with a mid to dark brown so that would be something I would be wary of in future purchases.

Overall, this dye left my hair shiny, a gorgeous colour and nice and soft! I'd definitely buy it again!

This L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss hair colour is good product I would recommend to my friends. The package is elegant and eye catching with the bright pink in the middle. It contains 3 bottles of crème and 1 pair of glove. I purchased another one as I have long hair. It's easy to operate by following the instruction. The colour comes out rich and nature. My hair is shine and gloss, especially great under the hot sun. I had washed my hair twice and the colour stays. However, I would like to recommend that it contains a disposable hair cover as I have to stay in the bathroom for 20mins. A cover will make it easier for consumer.

My hair is thick and dark so this didn't work out as I thought? I used it after lightening my hair and the red sorta turned out like an ugly orange but I tried it again and it seemed to work better! I like it but I wouldn't try again. Any suggestions please tell me! But the instructions are easy to follow and everything is nicely packaged and labelled.

I purchased this product with the mind of covering up a regrowth line, so that I looked nice in my Christmas-in-Thailand photos. I had a regrowth line after colouring my hair for the first time last year; I hate the look of regrowth, and in hindsight I wish I had only gone with a semi-permanent at the time. So I specifically wanted a semi-permanent this time, because I only wanted a temporary fix and to not do any further damage to my hair.

First impressions, the product is easy to use and straightforward. You put the colour into the developer, and spread through your hair. Easy, and a nice short developing time (20 min). I have long, straight, relatively fine hair; and I found one bottle was more than enough to cover everything. The smell is much more pleasant than other colours I have smelt.

Rinsing the colour out doesn't take long, and the creme conditioner that comes with it is a delight; nice fragrance, nice texture, and leaves your hair silky smooth. Enough to get through 3-4 washes as well.

The colour turned out darker than I expected, but given that it does begin to fade (and I was in the sun everyday), after a week the colour was exactly as I wanted it to be.

And a huge added bonus, now a month on (when it has mostly faded out, my hair is back to its mid-brown), and my previous regrowth line is much less noticable!! And the condition of my hair is still lovely and healthy and soft. I'm a semi permanent convert now, if you want 'the look', but not the damage or long effect of permanent, then give this product a try.

The first thing i noticed when using this dye was the smell, it wasn't nearly as strong or overwhelming as other dyes that I've used in the past! The second thing i really liked about it is that unlike other brands, one box was enough for my long thick hair! The product was super easy to apply and rinsed out so quickly! I am very happy with the colour pay off (I believe my colour was dark chocolate) and it doesn't seem to be fading at all after washes! I love the smell of the conditioner it comes with too!

This was my first time using a hair colorant of any sort and I have to say - it was exciting! Since I have natural black hair it was a bit hard to see under normal light but outside in the sun you could def see the shine of the Honey streaks come through! I was impressed that the colour didn't wash out after a few washes because I think that's what every girl with dyed hair is afraid of. I'm looking forward to try a different colour in the future :)

This is the only semi that I can consistently find, mostly just racks and racks of permanents. I use the light medium brown for grey regrowth coverage. It covers the greys about 90% which I like as it means the dyed section isn't just a bland flat colour. Semi is also good as it it is kinder to your hair than permanent dye and also there isn't such a harsh regrowth line so I find I can go longer between touch ups.

Not too sure of the name of the colour, but I dye my hair a nice purple-red colour on top of my fairly dark hair, and it still shows up nicely. Saves me and my mom about $40-65 in salon dye, and leaves my hair smelling pretty good, and feeling soft.
