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.

Tips: I do recommend testing before you use in case you react to the product, I have had one incident where I went to dye my hair lighter and ended up turning ginger because my hair began heating up insanely quick!!
I have used these quite a few times in different colours and love them each time. I've put my hair through a lot so it's nice to use this cause it's not harsh or damaging! Super easy to apply and great results. It's nice that it just fades out over time. Makes regrowth lessn obvious!
Tips: Make sure the colour you use is darker than your hair as these don't lighten :)
I got a silky blonde casting creme hair dye from the October 2016 Beauty Vault. This was the first time dying my hair and I wanted to go from dark blonde to lighter/silky blonde. The results were a bit disappointing, I have to say. While I did see a change it was a much smaller change than I had hoped, it is noticeable in the sunlight and in some streaks (although I dyed my whole head). However, my hair didn't not like the hair dye (not what I expected)! Instead of drying out, my hair felt healthier and with slightly more of a curl in it than before dying. I'm going to attribute this to the conditioner that is applied after dying. So if I do decide to go darker I would definitely go back to this product, or if I was just touching up already light hair I would also use the Casting Creme Gloss.
I have used this colour and it does what it says. Full grey coverage and very shiny hair. It lasts long and a youth roots after three yo four weeks. It's quick and you don't have to leave it on for long which is good gor my busy schedule.
Tips: When doing roots don't use left over colour on the other hair as it will make them dark
I have used the shades Honey Amber (no longer available unfortunately!), Amber, and Mahogany. All gave beautiful rich colour without drying out my hair. I love that it is not a permanent colour, as it is a good way to experiment in different shades without committing to any one look for too long. It also grows out really naturally.
The conditioner that comes with the pack is very high quality, and I appreciate the inclusion of gloves. I don't bother with the applicator, as I actually found it quite difficult to use. I just mixed it in a bowl and put it in my hair with my fingers! Maybe not the best technique, but it worked for me!
Tips: If you have thick and/or long hair, you may want to use two packets.
I have dark brown hair with greys starting to protrude around my crown. I usually colour my hair using permanent dyes, however, tried L'Oréal Casting Creme in the colour Iced Chocolate. It was easy to use and I found the smell quite pleasant. I love the smell of the conditioner. After colouring my hair felt nice and soft and smelt lovely; my husband even told me my hair smelt nice! The colour was just right, nice and glossy and not too dark as with some darker browns which tend to go black. What I like about this colour is that the colour does gradually wash out but it doesn't leave a raccoon type look which permanent hair colours do.
Tips: Follow instructions and don't leave longer on than the recommended time.
I don’t yet have any greys but definitely love that glossy hint of colour that dyeing my hair provides. This hits the spot by giving my hair loads of shine and a bit more depth to my otherwise blah brown hair. Unfortunately my dark hair prevents me from experimenting too much but have tried a few different shades in this range and have been impressed by them all (chocolate is a fave- a warm reddish brown). This isn’t super stinky like some dyes and application is pretty straight forward. These are also a great price and leave hair feeling amazingly soft without having to worry about regrowth. Will definitely repurchase- in fact I already have a box in the cupboard which I’ll use soon!
This hair colour is my favourite. It makes my hair super soft, shimmery and glossy while giving it a fresh bright boost of colour! I only use it every now and then just to brighten my natural colour and it looks lovely. It also last ages, much much longer that 28 shampoos. The only thing is it is quite smelly, I’m not a fan of the conditioner it comes with for after; it smells quite strong. I use it because it makes my hair super shiney but then use my own conditioner after to mask the intensity of the smell.
Tips: Watch out for the smell afterwards.
I use this instead of permanent colours, and really like the depth of colour, and also how it slowly fades out. After colouring my hair is soft and shiny. The colour coverage of my greys is excellent, and the fade/wash-out of colour is relatively slow and I tend to see regrowth before the colour has significantly washed out. I don't think the colour ever removes completely though, so I tend to now just touch up roots and put it randomly through some strands rather than a full head - but I really like the product.
I measure it out and use a bowl/brush to apply rather than using all the product at once as I have very short hair, so I can get easily 2-3 applications using it this way, just doing my roots and measuring to the required ratio.
Great product for the price.
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!
