L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

This review is for caramel colour. outside packaging is nice and colourful. usual clear applicator bottle, two hand glove, easy instruction sheet, colour and conditioner. Consistency is thick when mixed together, and easy to apply to hair. Smell is nice, no ammonia and not very heavy. I followed the instruction as to damp hair and towel dry. since my hair was highlighted and I needed to re-toned it different colour it worked for me. when applying colour I worked from roots to end and left it for required time washed with warm water and applied jelly conditioner. I got nice caramel colour on my highlighted hair. Disappointed as it did not colour grey hair that much. Yes I will buy again to re-tone my highlighted hair..

Smell was pretty strong - could smell it as soon as I opened the courier package. It wasn't the usual chemical smell though, pretty fruity.

As I have thick hair in knew this wouldn't cover it all so used it to cover up blonde ends of hair that have grown out over last few months.

It went on same as most other hair dyes I've used - trickiest part was not getting it on my clothes. Gloves did the job & solutions mixed nicely.

Coverage was good - certainly covered up any blonde bits & my hair was left silky smooth after using the conditioner.

After one wash the colour still seems strong & my hair still has the shiny sheen on the ends.

The only negative would be the strong perfumed smell of the product - it was nice it wasn't the usual chemical smell but not sure it needed to be so strong.

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.

These are great for a wash out dye however dont be fooled they do stain your hair and leave colour build up on your hair. I bleached my hair years ago and had only ever used this dye and all of the colour build up stayed and was showing! However if you are not planning on going lighter at any time then these a perfect for a quick fix without the commitment!

This product is an excellent choice for the price. I find my hair is super shiny after using the conditioner. The box contains plenty of dye - more than enough for my hair (which is thick and long.) I would say however that if you’re going for a red or auburn colour it won’t come out quite as vibrant as the colour on the box would suggest.

At first I was a little put off by the price, I normally dye my hair quite dark to black and because you can't really go wrong with a dark colour I am normally happier spending closer to $12-$15. It was a darker brown shade that I used and I didn't really realise the benefits until a few washes later. There was definitely less fade in comparison with cheaper brands that I've tried, and a smoother and silkier appearance overall that actually lasted the distance. Price well worth it.

I used this product last week to colour my hair. I haven't had any grey hairs yet so I can't comment on how well it colours those. However I can say that it definitely covered up all my past hair colours that I haven't cut off or grown out yet. I loved using this hair dye without the ammonia as I hate the smell of ammonia and it can sometimes make me itchy. All in all a great product.

It has been about 15 years since I last dyed my hair so I was looking for a semi-permanent dye as I was a little nervous about the change.

After looking around at all options, L'Oreal Casting Creme seemed to be one of the only semi-permanents left on the market. Happily, the reviews I read were all positive and it was nice and easy to find, being in most supermarkets and big chain stores like the Warehouse.

I chose Mahogany (550) to go onto my light brown/dark blond hair to add a bit of depth and some red highlights. The instructions on the packet were nice and easy to follow and there are also lots of useful videos on the internet as well. I particularly like the nice touch with the packaging where the outer box has a pull-out tab to hold the applicator after mixing.

I found the product easy to apply to the top of my head and around my face (though it is quite a thin liquid) and enlisted the help of my partner for the back of my head (as I have quite long hair). I was initially concerned that I may have needed to buy two packets because of my past-shoulder-length hair, but happily there was plenty in the container and I felt that every part of my hair got a good coating.

After waiting the required time, it rinsed off nice and easily, making far less mess than I expected. I prepared myself for the result... It was a bit darker than I had expected, but not unpleasantly so. It looks quite even in colour, except where I had some lighter hair, which of course is now a brighter red, but it covered my greys nicely.

It's been a week since I coloured my hair and despite washing my hair four times, no colour seems to have washed out, nor has any colour been left on my pillow or clothes, so I'm happy with it's holding ability.

Overall I'm really happy with the result, have had nothing but positive comments and would definitely use this product again, though perhaps a slightly softer colour.

I had had a really bad hair disaster and in which the hairdresser messed up my ombre hair and had instead bleached it dry. So I decided to buy the truffle brown colour to sort of fix it. It stayed in for quite a long time by my standards. I dyed my hair about 2-3 months ago and it's still good now, though fading a tad. The bee jelly shampoo and conditioner is lovely and gives you a healthy shine and moisturises your hair well afterwards.

L'0real casting Creme is easy to use. It gives a natural colour with natural looking variations to the hair colour. It leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy and is easy to reapply every few weeks. I use a range of colour in the 5 range and this keeps the hair colour looking very natural.
