L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

Colour choice : 1021- very light pearl blonde

First impression: wow what a different box! As soon as I opened the box I could smell the product! Loved it! Also the pink bottle! (not white for once) This really appealed to me!

Instructions for mixing and application were clear and very easy to follow. I used this to dye my regrowth.

Dye was easy flowing which really helped, and was quite bearable- this is a total plus to being ammonia free!!!!

After rinsing out the dye, I gave my hair a light shampoo and followed with the casting creme gloss conditioner. I was really happy with the amount of conditioner that was provided, the 60ml bottle gave me 2 good washes (I have long hair so I'm really happy about that). Instantly my hair felt so good! This is quite the opposite to other lighteners with ammonia. YAY!

The only downside of this hair dye was I found the smell of the conditioner, I found it quite strong after my hair had dried.

The result was brilliant! Came out a lot better then I had anticipated. Will definitely be purchasing this product in the future, and referring it to others! :)

I recieved this product in a trial team in the shade chocolate and made a big mistake. I used it over my already light blue hair, meaning my hair went a dark green colour.

You get an average amount for a home dye in the bottle and it seemed to go far in my thick shoulder length hair. It doesn't have a terrible smell and doesn't make your eyes water and nose dry up.

You get a lot of conditioner in the bottle and it is reusable, my only problem is that it smells like head lice cream.

It left my hair very soft and shiny, but the softness didn't last for very long which was quite upsetting.

I would definitely try this product again, but only when my hair fades out a lot. This review will be updated when I use it again :)

I'm pretty happy with this product! I don't like to dye my hair too often, my mum says it can cause cancer (lol) but I was excited to try this new colour and lighten my hair a bit for summer. I can't comment on the grey coverage (:P), but it did my roots really well and blended with the colour I already had in my hair. I found it pretty easy to apply and I really like the packaging. My hair feels soft and silky. I'm pretty happy with the shade, but I would probably go a bit lighter next time because my natural hair colour is darkish blonde. I haven't gone through 28 washes yet but the colour seems to be lasting. I'm pretty happy!

I was lucky enough to try this product out and give it a go! The color I had picked was Blackcurrant (Deep Red). My hair is already a deepish red from another box dye I have been using and using this one on top made it look fresh and gave it a nice healthy boost.

The dye it self was easy to set up and use and when applying it I had no issues with dye leaking or getting to much out of the bottle (as I have had this issue before with other box dyes). The dye dose not have too much of a strong scent which is great, But like any chemicals don't get it too close to your eyes or nose.

The Creme gloss comes with a lovely conditioner to use to wash out the dye, the dye and the conditioner makes your feels super soft and has an amazing shine once dried. The smell is divine and last for about 2-3 days.

The dye its self made my hair color turn a nice deep red color and has held on nicely to my hair with out too much fading

When this box arrived, the packaging was just like any other. The smell however is not. It smelt really fruity and yum! Definitely a good start! it came with the plastic applicator in the box as well, but not a brush type one, so i tried to use a comb as well. The dye itself was creamy and thick so when it went on to the hair it would stay in place! I had none drip at all, i didnt even use a cap over my hair or anything, I have a LOT of hair, so i would recommend getting 2 boxes and using both since my hair is also very long. I left the product in my hair for about 30min and then had a shower. The result? Absolutely FANTASTIC. My hair was super glossy the next day and it felt conditioned. It was really soft and it just glistened in the sun. The only issue i would have is that it doesn't last as long as is stated in the box. After about 8 washes i definitely noticed a dull in hair colour. But this is a non-permanent hair colour. It does what it states, i was absolutely blown away with the colour and i will be a repeat customer. There are a lot of different shades to choose form too!

I have waited till the very last minute to write this review as I wanted to do a few washes first, and I have to say that' it's pretty much exactly what it claims to be, a non permanent colour that leaves hair glossy, super conditioned and a lovely colour for a few weeks ;-)

After easy application of an ok smelling product which was simple to apply it left my hair super shinny and feeling great! All ticks in my books!!! The colour wasn't as noticeable as a permanent like I would usually use but it had good coverage and my hair felt amazing for a long time!! 12 days and counting !!

Was perfect time of year for me to use it as I like a lighter look in the summer

I was super excited to trial this product as I had often seen it in the supermarket but as it was a bit more expensive then my original go-to hair dye that I knew covered my greys I'd been a bit apprehensive about trying a new product. This dye certainly was better than I expected and I would definitely buy this again.

The instruction sheet was clear with good pictures and wording. The info sheet gave good tips for if hair had been coloured +/- 3months and if covering grey hair was your goal. The gloves were certainly not as big as most home dye products - if you have small to average sized hands they would be great, if you have larger hands (like me :)), these gloves would definitely be too small.

The dye itself was easy to mix and apply. The smell was actually quite nice :) It had a very faint chemical smell - no where near as strong as other supermarket dyes! If you have thick hair or long hair past your shoulders you would definitely need more than one bottle - I have thick wavy hair midway between my chin and shoulders and there was only just enough product to cover my hair.

The dye turned very dark very quickly - I chose a medium-dark brown colour and by 15mins I was starting to get alarmed my hair would turn out black so I only left the dye on for 20 mins (they recommend 25mins if trying to cover greys). Great even and natural colour. Initially it did come out darker then the colour on the box but within a few washes it faded nicely to the colour on the box and has not faded more than that yet. It did give good coverage of greys, however a few have started showing through after approx. 1 1/2weeks after dying hair. My hair had a great shine to it and didn't seem quite so "damaged" as it often does after dying it so would definitely consider using this product again. Heaps of condition was given in the bottle - enough for me to use it twice which was great!

Well worth the cost and so far has done a great job - will be interesting to see how long it last for!

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.
