Was ok

I put this colour through about a week ago and it was ok. It shows a lot of golden tones in my hard more than blonde and my roots look completely golden. It made my hair feel pretty alright after. The smell of the colour itself wasn't over powering but the conditioner smelt really bad. I didn't like the conditioner at all.

Black vixen!

I am absolutely floored by the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss and how much I oh so adore it!! I found the box to be very useful in that it had a perforated section where the application bottle stood so that I could put the developer cream in to the applicator without spillage on my very white sink.

The smell is quite pleasant which is a change to the very chemical and strong smelling dyes of other brands that I have used in the past which makes a nice change. The bottle was very easy to use on my hair giving even coverage and getting to the very root which often I miss with applicator bottles which are hard to squeeze or the nozzle is shaped wrong.

The instructions were easy to follow but I didn't understand why I had to dye the roots first wait fifteen minutes then continue with the rest it's a waste of my time so I just did the whole lot in one go which worked just as well. So it's a hassle without needing to be.

I have the same complaint as with every box of home dye that the gloves that are supplied are too small for my sausage fingers and therefore they split and my fingers were covered in black dye for two days before it wore off. I do however love the little plastic container the gloves came in and is being reused as a piercings container (very handy)!

The colour developed very fast on my hair and I saw results within five minutes of it being on. I chose the colour Licorice which is a black shade and very dramatic for a usual red head. After twenty five minutes I washed it out and it left black remnants all over my shower box which was a let down and even after scrubbing furiously it was still noticeable.

The colour was a huge difference for me but I am in total love with it and will continue to use this product and this colour choice for a while until I change my mind again.

It has been 7 days since my transformation and the colour is still sticking and is as dramatic as the day I dyed it even after washing three times so I am sold on it!! I am a believer! I love it even more because when I look at it in the light it has tints of green which is exactly what licorice looks like when bitten or cut.

One other thing that I didn't like to much is it is called a Creme Gloss but it made my hair feel straw like even after conditioning which I remedied with a hair treatment.

All in all have found a new love in my life and it's neither my husband nor my son its L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss oh yesssss!!!!

Tips: Use a treatment of some sort afterwards because the soft just dyed feeling doesn't happen.

Light Brown 600 Casting Creme

I used Loreal Casting Creme Gloss Light Brown 600. It was relatively simple to apply as I am quite used to at-home hair dying. I applied to the roots first and left my ends until last as instructed. The smell of the Casting Creme was plesent and didn't make my eyes water or my nostrils burn like some of the permanent hair dyes do. The Casting Creme felt comfortable on my hair and scalp, which is usually quite sensitive, so that was a bonus! Upon washing my hair out in the shower, my hair was left feeling slightly dry but certainly not matted and straw-like as I have experienced with other hair dyes. I then used the provided conditioner which was thick and luxurious with a lovely scent, it de-tangled and smoothed my hair and gave it quite a glossy shine. After blow drying my hair and examining the colour, It had left my hair with a slight brassy tint to my roots where the light hit. Since the application I have washed my hair 4 times and it has faded significantly. All in all though, I am impressed. I would not however pay the RRP $19.99 for a temporary colour but I would purchase again if it was on special.

Tips: Apply petroleum jelly to the skin around hair line. Use an old towel around your shoulders. Comb dye through with a wide tooth comb to ensure even distribution. Keep a timer handy. Try and avoid washing your hair any more often than necessary so you get longer lasting results.

IN LOVE!!

I was lucky enough to trial this hair dye and absolutly glad i had the opportunity too as it is now going to be my go to hairdye. This is the first ammonia free hairdye i have used an i chose the hair colour of black cherry to try the pakaging was cute and wasnt just a plain rectangle shape like others. The gloves felt snug on my hands and well made unline the plasticy budget looking ones most other dyes have. When mixing the products together it was a pleasant smell not a strong chemicly smell it smelt a bit like grapes to me haha The product was a deep purple to apply and it was thick and easy to spread through my hair i was glad the waiting time was only 20mins as most are about 45 minutes and with kids less time it takes the better The conditioner was a lovely smell and only needed a little amount it didnt take too long to rinse and condition i hairdried ny hair to see the end result and i was very happy with the results it is like a dark reddish colour my hair was black to start with. So i will definatly be using this again an be reccomending to people :)

Chocolate Chestnut

I have never used a semi permanent colour in my hair before but after using this product I will be ONLY using semi permanent :) it is the only brown that has not turned my hair almost black - it's the most gorgeous colour! It was super easy to apply to my hair and the after care conditioner makes my hair so soft - I didn't even use it all so I had some extra left for the next time I washed my hair! I have long thick hair and the one box covered all my hair easily! This is the nicest at home hair dye I have ever used! A++++++

Love it!

This product was fantastic! When I first got this product (I chose to try Black Cherry) I expected nothing special but I was wrong! Firstly, I almost brought another bottle as I have long curly hair as I usually have to buy two to cover it all; the one box I received was plenty for my hair!. It was a beautiful mix too, it looked purple and glittery! Packaging was simple and came with a decent amount of conditioner which lasted a week!

I read a tip in the instructions to dampen my hair of which I was wary about but it worked like a charm; it made it much easier to put the dye through. Instructions were simple and application was fast, it was recommended to leave the dye in for 20mins but I left it for 30mins, much less time than I usually have to wait with other dyes. It did not have a harsh smell, it was actually floral smelling which was pleasant and not over powering.

The colour was not as vibrant as I thought it would be but it has grown on me and I love the dark red tinged look! It is quite pricey but it adds up and is well worth it! If you usually need to buy two hair dyes, you wont need to with this product. I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone! I have had a very pleasant experience with this product.

Tips: Dampen your hair before application (only damp, not dripping wet!). This will help insure you got all places's in your hair and makes application easier!

Pleasing Result

The packaging was sleek, appealing and easy to read. Inside the box the items were cuter than your standard cheap brand but the biggest plus was the conditioner being in a container with a screw on lid instead of those awkward to open foil packets. I have small hands and I found the gloves were a very small and snug fitting. Once the mixture was combined I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of smell given, I normally get a headache despite applying in a well ventilated area but this time I had no issue at all. They market this hair dye as a non drip formula though I found that it was more runny than previous brands and did drip down on one occasion. The mixture was easy to apply though and gave good coverage while covering any greys showing in my regrowth. After rinsing my hair it was super soft and glossy, I do credit the Royal Jelly for this lovely effect. All in all I would use this brand again.

Tips: I would recommend having another pair of disposable gloves in case the ones provided do not fit.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

Where to Begin? Right from the start I was annoyed with this product. Every time I moved the box, the product would fall out the bottom. When I was ready to colour my hair, I found it hard to read the instructions as they were a few different languages. Thank goodness there was numbers and pictures. As for the product itself, I was very easy to mix and apply. The non-drip formula made for a fast and fuss free application with no mess. I did however find that when rinsing the colour out, my hair feel like straw. I thought this might be normal and used the conditioner as directed. Still no change. I was so disappointed! With the promise of shine and soft silky hair I really looked forward to trying Crème Gloss, but all I got is dry, horrible feeling hair. The colour was however fantastic. Black Cherry is a beautiful rich red colour. I got many compliments about the colour, but was told that my hair looked dull. Not something you want to hear after you have just coloured your hair! I gave this product a 2 purely because I love the colour, but would not buy this product again.

Tips: I found putting a little Vaseline around the hair line, helped to keep the colour from staining your forehead.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss - Dark Blonde

I liked using this product made my hair shiny and smooth while providing a great colour, it was easy to apply and spread really well ! I would definitely use this again ! The instructions were easy to follow, and the bottle made for easy application.

The product smells great, and gave me no irritation at all! The colour has lasted in my hair well seems to be on track for the 6-8 weeks claim.

Tips: If you have long hair I would suggest using two packets as one is not quite enough.

Iced Cocoa for my Pacific Island Hair

Casting Crème Gloss is a no ammonia hair colourant. This is the first time a home dye matches perfectly with my dark hair which was a pleasant surprise. For the last 10 or years I have never been able to buy a product that matches. I have very thick long Pacific Island dark brown hair which is very coarse. I went for the Iced Cocoa as I thought it sounded yummy! I use dye as I am 39yrs and am going grey at a fast rate. The 1 bottle was enough to complete my whole hair. So far the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss has done everything it says. Have only done 4 washes but am please that there is still shine and colour. I was amazed after using to find that I did in fact still have shimmering, rich & luscious colour hair as a result.....my sister actually thought I had been to the hairdressers. It is advertised as being - - blends away greys - gives a shimmering, rich & luscious colour result. - a super glossy shine. - colour that lasts up to 28 shampoos. It is easy to use and is minus that horrid chemical smell and did not drip everywhere. Further washes didn't have any amount of dye washed out either. No stinging to my scalp or eyes. Am overall delighted with this product and colour.
