L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

Back before I started visiting the hair dresser to get my hair done I used to use at home blonde colours on my natural light-medium blonde hair. My hair is quite fine but theres a lot of it. I wanted to try a semi-permanent colour as I didn’t want to permanently stain my hair or have to grow it out. I picked the Pearl Blonde as my skin tone is fair but with a cool base and the ash and violet tones work best with my skin. This was super easy to apply , the mixture was a little bit runny so make sure you have all areas covered that you wouldn’t want any splatter on !. I tend to splat it around somehow (im not even sure how I did it) so it pays to cover everything as I did manage to stain my vanity (just a small dot but I still see it !). Aside from this it wasn’t difficult to apply at all and I did this by myself. I bought two packets as most dyes say two packets for hair that is longer than shoulder length however I easily got away with one packet – given my hair is quite fine. To me it smelled like all other dyes but not like that horrible peroxide/amonia smell you get with blonde hair colour – you don’t need to open your window for fear of suffocating in the peroxidey smell, so that was a nice change. The smell wasn’t overpouring and didn’t linger for a long time. This was easy to rinse out and after using the royal jelly conditioner it left my hair feeling fabulous when I got out (often home dying blonde hair does not leave your hair feeling this way). I really loved the soft silky feel I got with this dye. One downside to this product for me was the colour the pearl blonde on me came out extremely ashy – I do like ashy but this was borderline grey on my hair unfortunately – a very very shiny silky grey I might add but the colour was not right for me. I perhaps should have tried the ice blonde or something different. This lasted longer than I thought a semi permanent would and it didn’t dissapear completely it definitely changed my colour a little bit – but this wasn’t a bad thing. This is very reasonably priced and if it wasn’t for the fact that I picked the wrong colour I would have been really happy with this product. I would definitely recommend this to a friend I would just perhaps advise blondes to be more careful with their colour choices – although I think that’s normally the case blonde is hard to get right with home dyes.

Found this easy to use smooth consistency and very nice colours , love that fact that there is no ammonia and covers greys very well. leaves my hair feeling soft, shiny and smells beautiful after using the conditioner. Lasts up to 28 shampoos, except on some shades so you may want to check that. My favourite shades are pearl blonde and iced mochaccino used both these colours on a regular basis love this product and will continue to use and recommend

I normally go to a hairdresser to colour my hair. But due to tight budgeting I had to colour my own hair.

It was surprisingly easy to use (I hadn't coloured my own hair for years). I only had to use one pack, which I thought was great considering usually I'd have to use 2 due the thickness and length of my hair.

After washing out the product, I was left with moisturised glossy hair, the kind that glitters in the sunlight. My hair retains colour very well so I didn't even notice any fading at all.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss is the only hair colour I have and will ever use. It's easy step by step guide is truly fail proof and I love how this washes out rather then grows out. I always use the brown tone and after colouring my hair it always looks shiny, glossy and full of life. It covers grey hair easily and no-one ever knows that I use a colour as I tend to use a colour match close to my own hair colour. I allow half an hour to do the colouring and usually do this in the shower to minimize the drips going all over the floor.

I really like this product, it's affordable, smells gorgeous, has no Ammonia, gives a great shine, and has the best gloves (Not ugly plastic bag ones).

You get 6 lovely items in the box: Instruction manual Creme Colour Creme Gloss Conditioner (smells sooo good!) Gloves (best gloves ever!!) And the nozzle for everything!

I must say, this has to be one of the best semi permanent hair dye. It leaves your hair feeling silky, refreshed and more other amazing words to describe it!

I've used multiple dyes over the past 4-5 years. This semi permanent has to be my favourite.

I loved the Black Cheery Casting Creme Gloss colour. I also like the fact that its Ammonia free and less damaging on the hair. The colour lasts a reasonable amount of time and nice and vibrant.

I am a fan of both the Chocolate and Iced Chocolate shade for a natural looking warm brown, and their easy to follow directions mean that doing a home hair colour job is no sweat. I find that the colour lasts well and the finish is shiny, with plenty of conditioner to top up the shine factor for a few weeks after the initial application. The product is highly fragranced, and I could do without such a strong smell but it isn't a major.

So my Trial product arrived and as i was deeply anticipating it and well over due for a colour i dived straight in.

First of all I noticed the Gloves in the box were super small. I have small hands and getting them on was a squeeze... Luckily I had spare gloves on hand for an occasion such as this.

Secondly I noticed it had the usual three bottles in the box.. developer, colour and the conditioner... The conditioner was of generous size and at the end i found i only needed about half of it for my whole hair (gave it a deep condition) I thought at first that perhaps the colour mixture wouldn't be enough, even for my shoulder length hair, but after about halfway in I discovered that I had plenty, and would have had some leftover.

Then the colour develops. The smell was what you expect of a dye, however it didn't have the nasty fumes from an ammonia based product due to it having none in it.

Developing took all of 20 mins which i found super fast and was very happy with how quick the entire process was...

Washing out was the bit I was worried about, due to us having a brand new shower and most packet dyes take 10 minutes or more to wash the colour out entirely I was worried I would get it all over the walls etc... But the colour was completely washed out in a minute or two! I was stunned. And there was no product anywhere in the new shower (mum would kill me he he)

No colour squeezed out while towel drying my hair.

All in all It was a breezy, clean, and stress-free situation. And I am loving the colour already (Caramel) Which showed up and blended nicely over my old blonde foils and brown re-growth, and gave me a nice natural looking colour!

Will definitely be using this product again

i was picked to trial the casting creme hair dye, so i chose black cherry. i usually have bright red hair, so its a little bit of a change. first off, i loved the gloves! but i have really big hands so they were pretty tight, and i ripped them a little. it was easy to apply, had a little bit left over. After 20 mins i washed it out, and used the conditioner. And still have enough left to use some next wash. very dark than im use to, but feels lovely and looks nice for freshly dyed hair. Thumbs up.

Thank you so much for this opportunity! I used it the night that it arrived in the mail. It was such an easy hair dye to use and was such an even colour. I've had bad experiences in the past with hair colour but this one has been the best ever! My hair was light brown to start so I chose the shade iced chocolate and it made it go a little darker but looks really natural! Super impressed with the results!!
