L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

In May 2013 i went from light blonde to dark brown and after using many packet dyes to maintain it and avoid my blonde regrowth, it would continuously go wrong every single time, it would always be too dark no matter how long i left it in for. My hairdresser recommended i used a temporary hair dye to avoid too much colour build up. I tried this product and it is my LIFE SAVER! It colours over my blonde roots perfectly and fades literally within the 28 washes it suggests. I don't think i could ever go back to a different boxed brand. Not only is it a good colour match to my hair, it is extremely easy to apply although i have yet to attempt it on myself. Highly recommend this product if you're like me and wanting to avoid the unnecessary colour build up from continuous dyes! Definitely recommend.

Easily applied and affordable. I left in a little longer than normal on those cheeky grey hairs. make sure you rinse your hair until water runs clear and use the shampoo provided.

I am a hairdressing tutor and this is probably the only shop colour I would recommend. The shine is awesome but the colour does fade quite quickly. Hair feels good afterwards as it is a low ammonia product.

I did like this product. There arent many semi-permanent colours on the market and these do make your hair look sper glossy afterwards. They are not too 'chemical' smelling and are mild on the scalp. I did find that the colour I ended up with was quite different to the one on the box though.....

Another one of the hair products i will use over and over when colouring my hair. It works great, colours turn out beautifully and my hair always feels nice afterwards. Lasts a long time and hardly any fade out.

I have been using this product off and on for a number of years, it's the only one I use if I want to go darker (I'll always go get highlights or balayage done professionally!). There are many reasons I keep going back to it. Firstly, I find it extremely hard to find a semi-permanent at home hair colour, but Casting Creme Gloss can be purchased at most supermarkets, pharmacies, The Warehouse and Farmers, although you might have to go to the later two to get the colour you're after. The colour is really easy to use, even for a hair novice, and I've managed to always be able to colour my hair with it myself without roping in a friend. I generally leave the product in for the recommended amount of time and it works well. I find the first couple of days it normally comes out looking a bit darker but then after a couple of washes it fades just enough to look really nice. When I had longer hair, I always used two boxes but with my current length (medium, just past shoulders) I was able to get away with one. The only downside I found to the product is I find it doesn't fade completely out, five months after I had last used it you could see regrowth coming in, which can effect results when lightening your hair. Overall, I would definately recommend Casting Creme Gloss. It gives a really good result at a great price, less than half what you would pay for the same result at a salon for a Global Hair Colour.

At 20$, I think it's a little over the value of the product. Ive only tried a dye of this series once, and it was going blonde > brown. The color didn't go on very strong (turned out a fair bit lighter than i expected), and faded very quickly. Also the product isn't as thick and creamy as I like my dyes to be, so it felt a little painful for my hair. In saying that, the range of colors they provide is quite good. Perhaps I will try one of their blondes in the future

I have been using this product for quite a few years now. Since my gray hairs started appearing I have found this product works perfect for me. I have been back to the salon and had my hair coloured. I have gone back to Casting Creme. I only put the creme on my roots, then every other time I do my colour I put the rest through the ends for the last 10 mins. My hairdresser tells me that my hair looks good for colour, with no build up. I love the conditioner, leaves your hair feeling soft and glossy. There is always plenty even though my hair is thick and quite long. A great product, and it's temporary, so washes out gradually.

When i first dyed my hair with this my colour was amazing! but for about 3 weeks everythime i washed my hair (every 3 days) the colour kept washing out, and it just faded so quickle. Even using a colour protecting shampoo and conditioner. I dont think its value for money, and wouldnt be repurchasing

I have used this product many times over the years but have only recently (past nine months) have returned using it again.

After having my hair Bleach Blonde I decided to grow my hair out and keep the natural, healthy look. This product helps me to achieve Shiny, Healthy looking hair without any nasty Chemicals.

I find permanent Hair Dye makes your hair look dull after a while and the ammonia makes it unhealthy.

This is one of the only Semi-Permenant Hair Dyes I can find on the market.

Easy Application, Lovely smell and the conditioner provided leaves your hair feeling so silky.

Will continue to purchase this product.
