L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

Im a fan of this product for two reasons- firstly its Amonia Free, one less chemical I need to worry about. Secondly, its a semi permanent that fades, rather then washes out. So I dont need to worry about colour runs on my linen. Ive used three colours from the range, Dark brown, Medium brown and Iced chocolate. Dark brown results in a very dark colour. Medium brown is the one I use often as its results are more natural on me. Successfully used it on my ombre'd hair also.

I recently dyed my hair dark brown with this product and found it easy to mix and apply. It left my hair darker than expected (it's now almost black) but that often happens with hair dye - and is especially good since I was going from auburn coloured hair, which I had dyed with their Amber colour.

I've found it lasts longer than it says it will, as I was dying my hair to cover up my previous colour. I've also found that it leaves my hair soft and fine, unlike other hair dyes I have used.

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 haven't dyed my hair in a while as I am trying to return to my natural colour. But this was always my go to hair dye, it doesn't make my hair feel horrible, I love the conditioners they put in. It does exactly what It says, I tried a few colours cant remember exactly which ones, I believe one was redish which didn't work on my hair after I had previously dyed it darker brown it had a hint of red but not as red as id of liked but that wasn't an issue for me. I think the product itself is very good,

I absolutely love this product, it doesn't damage your hair, the blondes I have used are natural and don't go brassy. Over the last few years I have used a few different shades. The first time I tried this product it was the dark blonde. It was great, slightly lightened my hair but not much, it was so natural looking and my hair was shiny. The last few times I have coloured my hair I have used the medium blonde and I like it even better. It has lightened the already coloured hair and slightly lightened the roots so it looks really natural. It doesn't leave an awful regrowth line either. The hair colour is easy to apply, comes with applicator tip bottle and a hair colour tube. Pieerce the top of the tube and squeeze into the developr, give it a shake and twist the tip off it's ready to apply..

Nourishing to the hair - long lasting colour with out the damage. Used a dark blonde and got a great light brown colour permanently. Really nice n easy to usse

I constantly use the casting creme gloss as I know the results and the smell is heavenly. However I do find that The brown colours go a lot darker than advertised on the box, which can be a shock at first, but they do fade considerably. On the upside it makes your hair mega silky and amaaazing.

This is my favourite do-it-yourself hair dye. One packet covers my thick hair and leaves it undamaged, super shiny and soft especially after using the beautifully scented conditioner. This product is also quite affordable and lasts longer than most semi permanent hair colours.

I always use this when dying my hair brown as I tend to switch from brunette to blonde and I find when using this it is a lot easier to go back blonde as it doesn't build up to much in my hair. For a Semi-permanent the colour holds well and doesn't fad too quickly, also makes my hair super shiny. The conditioner that it comes with is really good and makes your hair really soft and shiny.

Used this product a couple of times and have never been disappointed! One box works on my hair which is very long which shows the product can go a long way. Would recommend!
