L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I used - medium brown I love the simplicity of this product. Products that alter appearances permanently make me a little bit nervous usually but this stuff is amazing. The instructions are really clear and the products are easy to mix together. I found the texture and smell to be quite alright for hair dye too. The colour was very even and glossy looking.

I got the dark brown and it is totally amazing... the amount of product was perfect to cover my whole head and still had a bit left over..love how it has no ammonia and hasnt got the strong chemical smell like most hair colours do. Completely covered my old colour that had gone orange with no trouble..the colour has left my hair shiney and looking healthy and the conditioner smells nice is enough for two washes..I have washed my hair 3 times already and the colour still looks brand new...

Loved it!!! L'Oreal has made it back glossy and shiny, felt lovely on my head and was easy to apply, I didn't like the way that it goes darker first but it will show after a week to the colour u desired I'm really happy with the colour and texture of my hair. I will be buying this product.

I chose the colour Blackcurrant. It's a lovely, deep but not too deep reddish colour. Now my hair was already a shade of purple, so it wasn't a completely new shade for me. But I definitely had a couple of months' worth of brunette regrowth. Sometimes it shows up more red and sometimes it shows up more purple.

Update: 09/01/2015 It definitely comes up more red on my hair now. It's a beautiful deep shade that I'm going to continue buying because I'm completely in love with it.

I'd say I have purely good things to say about this product. I like to get either my mother or step mother to apply this to my hair because I hate dyeing my hair myself. I think the gloves were quite small but that was fine for her because her hands and fingers are quite slim. The instructions were super easy to follow and I had no trouble understanding exactly what to do.

A lot of hair dyes hurt my scalp because it's very dry and sensitive but this one didn't burn much at all. Also it didn't smell horrible and overpowering like a lot of dyes I've used, it actually smelled pleasant.

Fast forward to me washing the product out. I found it didn't take as long to watch the excess product out of my hair as it has been with other dyes. It was also super duper easy to clean off of the walls of the shower - and off of my skin! The conditioner smells fruity and beautiful, you get a TON of it, on my mid length hair I get 3 - 4 applications of it. I also really like the packaging of my conditioner which probably sounds weird but I just like the shape and size of the bottle.

I've washed my hair a few times since dyeing it and unlike my last dye I don't get a ton of product disappearing down the drain every time I use shampoo. Also the colour has barely faded at all and like they claim, my hair looks very shiny and well cared for. I also haven't had my hair breaking and falling out as much as with past products.

All in all so far I absolutely love this dye and will be repurchasing it even though in the past I've basically just gone for whatever is cheapest at the time!

I will update in about a month to let people know how well the colour is lasting in my hair. I have high hopes that the 28 shampoo claim is true!

I love the colour, and have had so many compliments about it. The gloves that came with this is very small. has a nice pleasant smell to this and the conditioner. and it comes off easy if it gets onto your skin.

I was picked to trial this by BR and to say I was nervous was an understatement. I was a home colouring virgin and I picked the shade Plum # 316. I could not wait to get it done and read the instructions a couple of times and it seemed a bit too easy to be true. I asked on the BR forums for advice and away I went. I mixed the two bits that I needed to mix together and then I applied it to the roots of my hair first and then to the ends. I was worried that because I have long hair (which is easily to the bottom of my shoulder blades) that I wouldn't have enough product and I almost got a second one just to make sure I didn't run out. I'm so glad I didn't! There was easily enough product to cover my entire head and ends generously and once I had covered everything I squirted the rest on just to use it all up. I waited the 20 mins as stated and it did not drip it anywhere. I even took a risk and sat on my bed (which has white sheets) while I was waiting and there was no disaster to report. I got in the shower after the 20 mins was up and washed it all off. I then applied the royal jelly conditioning treatment and rinsed that out too. Out of the shower and woohoo!!! Purple hair! The process of doing the colour could not have been easier and I feel a bit silly for not realising how easy it is. I have quite a few greys (not even 30 yet grumble, grumble) and it covered them completely. My hair was a medium brown to begin with and the colour payoff was way, way, way more then I expected it to be. The colour has lasted well and as claimed looks lovely and glossy. So far I did it a week ago and have washed it three times and it still looks great. There has been a slight fade from the day the colour was done but actually not as much as I would reasonably expected. I will update this review in a few weeks so that I can comment on the 28 washes claim. *Update* I found between the second and third week of this being in my hair the colour faded quite a bit and was certainly noticeably more dull. I think it probably lasted in my hair for 28 washes but after the first few weeks it didn't look so flash My hair has felt really good and has certainly not been visibly damaged by the colour treatment. I love how easily it has covered up my greys and I will be continuing on with these for sure! I am super impressed with this product and it is such an easy and simple way to change up your look (and cover those annoying greys) as and when you please. I have since repurchased this in the shade Brownie and love the colour.

I am absolutely floored by the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss and how much I oh so adore it!! I found the box to be very useful in that it had a perforated section where the application bottle stood so that I could put the developer cream in to the applicator without spillage on my very white sink.

The smell is quite pleasant which is a change to the very chemical and strong smelling dyes of other brands that I have used in the past which makes a nice change. The bottle was very easy to use on my hair giving even coverage and getting to the very root which often I miss with applicator bottles which are hard to squeeze or the nozzle is shaped wrong.

The instructions were easy to follow but I didn't understand why I had to dye the roots first wait fifteen minutes then continue with the rest it's a waste of my time so I just did the whole lot in one go which worked just as well. So it's a hassle without needing to be.

I have the same complaint as with every box of home dye that the gloves that are supplied are too small for my sausage fingers and therefore they split and my fingers were covered in black dye for two days before it wore off. I do however love the little plastic container the gloves came in and is being reused as a piercings container (very handy)!

The colour developed very fast on my hair and I saw results within five minutes of it being on. I chose the colour Licorice which is a black shade and very dramatic for a usual red head. After twenty five minutes I washed it out and it left black remnants all over my shower box which was a let down and even after scrubbing furiously it was still noticeable.

The colour was a huge difference for me but I am in total love with it and will continue to use this product and this colour choice for a while until I change my mind again.

It has been 7 days since my transformation and the colour is still sticking and is as dramatic as the day I dyed it even after washing three times so I am sold on it!! I am a believer! I love it even more because when I look at it in the light it has tints of green which is exactly what licorice looks like when bitten or cut.

One other thing that I didn't like to much is it is called a Creme Gloss but it made my hair feel straw like even after conditioning which I remedied with a hair treatment.

All in all have found a new love in my life and it's neither my husband nor my son its L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss oh yesssss!!!!

I was lucky enough to trial this hair dye and absolutly glad i had the opportunity too as it is now going to be my go to hairdye. This is the first ammonia free hairdye i have used an i chose the hair colour of black cherry to try the pakaging was cute and wasnt just a plain rectangle shape like others. The gloves felt snug on my hands and well made unline the plasticy budget looking ones most other dyes have. When mixing the products together it was a pleasant smell not a strong chemicly smell it smelt a bit like grapes to me haha The product was a deep purple to apply and it was thick and easy to spread through my hair i was glad the waiting time was only 20mins as most are about 45 minutes and with kids less time it takes the better The conditioner was a lovely smell and only needed a little amount it didnt take too long to rinse and condition i hairdried ny hair to see the end result and i was very happy with the results it is like a dark reddish colour my hair was black to start with. So i will definatly be using this again an be reccomending to people :)

I have never used a semi permanent colour in my hair before but after using this product I will be ONLY using semi permanent :) it is the only brown that has not turned my hair almost black - it's the most gorgeous colour! It was super easy to apply to my hair and the after care conditioner makes my hair so soft - I didn't even use it all so I had some extra left for the next time I washed my hair! I have long thick hair and the one box covered all my hair easily! This is the nicest at home hair dye I have ever used! A++++++

This product was fantastic! When I first got this product (I chose to try Black Cherry) I expected nothing special but I was wrong! Firstly, I almost brought another bottle as I have long curly hair as I usually have to buy two to cover it all; the one box I received was plenty for my hair!. It was a beautiful mix too, it looked purple and glittery! Packaging was simple and came with a decent amount of conditioner which lasted a week!

I read a tip in the instructions to dampen my hair of which I was wary about but it worked like a charm; it made it much easier to put the dye through. Instructions were simple and application was fast, it was recommended to leave the dye in for 20mins but I left it for 30mins, much less time than I usually have to wait with other dyes. It did not have a harsh smell, it was actually floral smelling which was pleasant and not over powering.

The colour was not as vibrant as I thought it would be but it has grown on me and I love the dark red tinged look! It is quite pricey but it adds up and is well worth it! If you usually need to buy two hair dyes, you wont need to with this product. I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone! I have had a very pleasant experience with this product.
