L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I purchased this product with the mind of covering up a regrowth line, so that I looked nice in my Christmas-in-Thailand photos. I had a regrowth line after colouring my hair for the first time last year; I hate the look of regrowth, and in hindsight I wish I had only gone with a semi-permanent at the time. So I specifically wanted a semi-permanent this time, because I only wanted a temporary fix and to not do any further damage to my hair.

First impressions, the product is easy to use and straightforward. You put the colour into the developer, and spread through your hair. Easy, and a nice short developing time (20 min). I have long, straight, relatively fine hair; and I found one bottle was more than enough to cover everything. The smell is much more pleasant than other colours I have smelt.

Rinsing the colour out doesn't take long, and the creme conditioner that comes with it is a delight; nice fragrance, nice texture, and leaves your hair silky smooth. Enough to get through 3-4 washes as well.

The colour turned out darker than I expected, but given that it does begin to fade (and I was in the sun everyday), after a week the colour was exactly as I wanted it to be.

And a huge added bonus, now a month on (when it has mostly faded out, my hair is back to its mid-brown), and my previous regrowth line is much less noticable!! And the condition of my hair is still lovely and healthy and soft. I'm a semi permanent convert now, if you want 'the look', but not the damage or long effect of permanent, then give this product a try.

Yes, it's one of my favourite color and brand. I often switch between different brands and colors as per my mood and choice. Since I do it at home so I like to play and be creative with my hair. I like Loreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss because it gives shiny and soft look to my hair. Specially in day and bright lights I can't belive it's my own hair as it just looks like the ones that we see in Ads. However, it does not give good coverage to my greys but overall I like it's quality.

I have only ever used this hair dye once and found that it wasn't what i was expecting. I found that it was super easy to use and gives great coverage. This hair dye is also super long lasting and makes my hair look amazing definitely a glossy finish. I do however hate the scent but every brand of hair dye I have used has stinks. Will definitely repurchase this hair dye depending on what color I am going and if they have it or not.

This is a great semi-permanent hair colour. I have used it countless times with consistently great results. I find it lasts much longer than 28 days. I use a colour closely matched to my own hair colour, but deeper, in my case I use Iced Cocoa or Iced Chocolate, one slightly warmer than the other. I don't use them so much for the colour, though it's great, but for the body and long-lasting shine that it gives. I would buy the conditioner included on its own as it is fantastic. It is very easy to apply, quick to work, and washes out easily, with a nice fragrance.

I find it difficult to find semi-permanent hair dyes, and this one works really well, I don't like the idea of regrowth and can't afford to upkeep permanent dyes so this works well for me to put a darker wash though my hair. Love it!

I prefer using semi-permanent as I dye my hair regularly so I feel it does less damage. This is easy to use, the colours are superb and it doesn't fade too quickly. It's not a bad price, and it's a great product. I'd definitely recommend it!

I've been using this product for about 8 years now and it's still my favourite. I'm the kind of person who is forever changing their hair colour so this product is perfect. Not only do they have a gorgeous array of colours (definitely more for brunette and darker shades) but because they fade (semi-permanent) out I find I don't get harsh regrowth lines so don't have to dye my hair as much. Your hair smells nice afterwards and my hair is always left beautifully soft and shiny.

It is a bit more on the pricey side but they've dropped their price now so they're more affordable.

I don't use a lot of hair dye, but this one is nice for people who want to just refresh their colour.

My most recent colour was quite dark (I like going darker) and even after 2 weeks is fading very slowly so I wont need to re-do my colour for another month and a half. Smells amazing when using and is also very easy to use (this is the second time I've done it myself). Love, love, love!

I really love this stuff! i hate regrowth in my hair and i really dont fancy the idea of committing to one hair colour so i really like the fact its only semi permanent and because i dont really want to dye my hair regularly and risk damaging it i still have my natural hair colour which is perfect! my only problem with this hair dye is the colours they stay true to the box for the first two or so washes but after the third wash there is quite a change in colour and it stays that colour for the majority of the washes which is kind of annoying so i would suggest going and even darker colour so you get the colour you want for a longer time!
