L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I have been colouring my own hair at home using box dyes for years now. I decided to review the shade 600- light brown as this is the shade I tend to go for with other brands. I have dark brown regrowth but it is never an issue with dying my hair at home. First of all the prep is super easy and the products mix up nicely. It's simple to follow the instructions and easy to apply to your hair. Like I said, i've been dying my hair for years but I feel like a beginner wouldn't have any issues either. I have medium length hair and I had just enough product to cover all my hair, so if you have long hair (past your boobs) or thick hair, you may want to buy two boxes. The dye washed out nicely in the shower and it comes with a small conditioner that leaves your hair feeling nice and soft. I was happy with the result overall, the colour was nice, application was easy and my hair doesn't feel anymore damaged than it already was. I only dyed my hair a few days ago so I can't comment on it's longevity but I would expect it will begin to fade in a couple weeks. I will repurchase if I see it on special.

I am reviewing: 1021 Very Light Pearl Blonde. The way it works on blondes is by using lemon extract to lighten the hair rather than ammonia/peroxide. I have bleached hair (foils), with my normal hair colour showing through as highlights and partly at the roots. My natural colour is an ashy dark blonde/brown and I was surprised to see that this actually lightened my hair at my roots quite nicely. It's a very subtle lightening and not orange. For the rest of my hair which was almost white blonde from the foils, ended up just looking brighter overall. I was worried I'd end up ruining my expensive foils but the end result is actually quite nice.

The packaging was easy to use, the gloves I found were horrible and very small, even though I don't have massive hands. I personally don't really like the conditioner it comes with, the smell is very strong and two days later I still smell like freshly coloured hair !

I would use it again because it's given me a nice colour, and would be a good way to brighten blondes in between hairdresser visits.

I applied this to my hair yesterday following the instructions given very closely. Once i had rinsed, conditioned and towel dried my hair I noticed that my hair was much more shiny and soft, although i didn't notice a huge shift in the colour of my hair I'm actually quite pleased with the overall end result. I would recommend using a leave in conditioner or hair masque once you have towel dried your hair after rinsing it as it definitely helped keep the ends of my hair soft.

I have dry-damaged hair and it seams as tho it has smoothed my ends a little bit ? I trialed the colour 100 licorice which is a black

Application is very easy and straight forward, instructions are simple to follow. The smell of this is not strong and offputting as others iv tried.

Overall i would rate this a 8-10 and i think you should give it a go and see how you like it :)

This was a good hair dye. Loved the colour I got but due to not dying my hair in about a year I had a bit ofregrowth so i have 2 different colours in my hair. So i probably needed 2 packs of it. Will just need to dye it again depending on how much the L'Oreal casting creme costs I would by that one. Also the gloves that come with it are great so much better than I've used with other brands

When I recieved the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss hair dye I wasn't expecting too much. I was expecting it to be like all the other packet dyes I've tried and it not to shout out anything special. Boy was I wrong! This hair dye, although I ordered one of the same colour as my current hair, made my colour shine and my hair was so soft afterwards. Even after days of using it my hair still felt wonderful and on par with some salon quality dyes I've had. Will definitely re-purchase.

I chose the Mahogany and found the dye easy to mix it was a good consistency so not runny. My hair looked shiny afterwards and smelt nice, so it does what it says it will. Sometimes after dyeing my hair feels dry and rough but this time it is soft. The conditioner is a good size. The price is more than i usually pay for other dyes but would buy it again when its on special.

I found this didn't have such a strong chemically smell as other hair dyes which was a nice change, it was really easy to apply and love that it is non drip! I got the 1021 VERY LIGHT PEARL BLONDE: PERMANENT COLOUR and found the colouring was ok (prefer my normal lightener) as it did help lighten my brown roots to a golden ginger, and my pinky red underneath went to a browny ginger (if that makes sense), I do wish there was a toner in it as it really did need it. I love that there is no ammonia, it did make my hair feel healthy and soft especially with the conditioner enriched with Royal Jelly which was so nice to use, I got two uses out of the conditioner but it was so hard to get out the second time that I gave up and felt like left a lot in the tube/bottle maybe if it was a different shape? All in all it was a nice formula that made me feel like I wasn't using harsh chemicals, I would buy again if it's on special and would like to try the shades Plum and Licorice.

I really enjoyed using this product. Though the gloves were small, the instructions were very easy to follow (and come in so many languages!) and the process was very simple. I'd never coloured my hair myself before so I was a little nervous about it but was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was. It came with loads of conditioner as well which was fab. I have brown hair and simply dyed it another brown but much nicer. Most people didn't even notice I'd dyed it to be honest but I thought the colour was great, clearly very natural looking and still felt healthy and smooth. I specifically asked a couple of friends what they thought and both noted my hair was shinier and healthy looking which is always fab to hear. I dyed it 19/12 so a little under 3 weeks ago and I can tell the colour has faded a bit. I understand that its summer but I would say it definitely wouldn’t last 28 washes, for me anyway. I would be happy to use this product again though, and would recommend it to others for sure! I’m pleased I had the chance to trial it!

I really enjoyed using this L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss. It made my hair a lovely brunette shade. Originally I had brunette to blonde ombre hair but decided to go back to a full brunette colour and this dye made my hair shiny, soft and a nice shade after using it. The instructions that came in the box were very useful and even though I'm not a beginner when it comes to dying hair at home, I'm sure a beginner would find it easy to do with this particular hair dye box.

I really love Casting Creme Gloss. I don't know of any other brand that still has a Semi-Permanent so thanks for that L'oreal!

Mixing and application is really simple and the fact that its ammonia free means you don't have that nasty strong smell. I have fairly long but fine hair and one pack is enough for me to get full coverage. I do have some greys and it covers them up nicely. My hair is always lovely and shiny after using this. I have used various colors in this range, mostly dark browns, reds and purples. For this review i used the Plum shade which i loved. I find that the reds and purples fade out quite quickly for me, i would say you get a couple of weeks before it is noticeable (no doubt dependent on how often you wash you hair) but for that reason this is a great choice for if you want to try out a new colour but not commit to the permanent version.
