L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I tried this product quite a while ago, however I still remember that it was one of the best box dyes I have ever used. I love the fact that it contains no ammonia, which is so much better for your hair. It helps to cause less damage, and keeps the hair looking shiny and healthy. The colour I used was the dark brown, and it always had a few dimensions to it. Not sure whether this is because my natural hair has a few dimensions to it, but I always loved how it went on and looked very natural. I would definitely recommend this hair dye to anyone who wants their hair to stay healthy, and less damaged than using a product with ammonia in it. PLUS the smell is way better!! :) xx

This is my absolute favourite semi permanent dye. The smell is amazing and it leaves my hair so silky and smooth weeks after. One problem is that it should be considered a permanent dye because this stuff never comes out completely!!!

I bought it and applied to my hair during holidays because my mum finally approved it. My hair is black in colour but I wanted it to be in brown. After I used it, my hair turns out to be a very silky brown, and my hair still feels good, not feeling thick and rough. After the holiday has ended, I had to dye my hair back to black, and a few days later I started to notice that the black dye is removed bit by bit. It turns out my hair became brown again because the black dye is washed away day by day.

Being a natural ginger its hard to find a colour that will take to my hair (without ruining it). I found that it not only take but it stays true to its colour for more than 28 washes! This being said the price is FAB!! for someone that changes my mind more than anyone i know. The colour range is great, something for everyone

Used this awhile go now and can't remember what the colour was called wanted just straight black because my hair extensions where black but I died my hair and didn't realise it wasn't straight black so died my hair extensions and my hair and my hair extensions looked amazing !!! So many people commented on my hair saying how good it looks in the sun and that you couldn't even tell I was wearing hair extensions! One downside was that every time I have a shower is washes out a little bit but has been more than 28 washes like it says on the box :)

Easy to use colour and very close to colour on the box. Nice and natural but not covering everything. Shiny & glossy finish.

I like how easy it was to put on and gave an even coverage. Covered the greys perfectly and the colour end result very glossy and pretty close to what was expected or showing on the box. Give a good boost to my hair as well. The colour I found lasted longer than what was said on the fox and not much fading which is good. Even on long hair I had enough with one box. Also the stain on skin wasn't too hard to rub off.

I'm a home hair dyer from waaaaay back. I'm talking 16, yes, 90's, back when burgandy ruled the hair wavz. Flashforward to 2014. Hair suddenly thinned, was flat, in a state of long term stress. I could not continue with permanent hair dye, my hair needed a break, but I not going to settle for (shock horror) NATURAL hair colour. Enter Loreal Casting Creme Gloss 300 - Darkest Brown. I had high hopes. Box is user friendly, states no Ammonia, Semi-Permanent, Lasts up to 28 shampoos. Photo of someone with dark hair, a swath of dark brown hair along the front, small pic of yellow honey comb, to reflect the "with Royal Jelly". Pink accents, carried over into internal packaging. Words like "Glossy" "Non-drip" "full of visible shimmering tones" "Irresistable Fruity Fragrance" spring off the box. You get the picture. Inside, what you expect in a home hair kit. Clear bottle of developer liquid, tube of creme colour in bright pink, plastic gloves that fit my fat kiwi fingers, instructions in English and one foreign language with an NZ 0800 number. I found instructions hard on the eyes, foreign language was distracting, mixed in between the english. Would have prefered this was separate. A third bottle of Royal Jelly Conditioner. Standard hair dye packaging and contents. Colourant creme is a shiny gloss, mixes easily in bottle, applies easily and, voila, no drips! It doesn't smell bad, but I wouldn't eat its delicate irrestible fruity goodness. Go make a coffee, come back in 20 mins. Hop in shower. This stuff rinses out really well! I have white walls in my shower and was worried my Darkest Brown would mark, no problem however. About 2 mins in and I was done. Now for the Royal Jelly Conditioner. OH I LOVE THIS STUFF. When I die, I want to be bathed in Loreal Royal Jelly Conditioner. It smells. So. Good. It does a great job of conditioning, the bonus for me is it doesn't block my scalp pores like other conditioners do. Its like a hair mask, its so good. At the end - colour is fabulous! Rich, vibrant, intense, shiny, strong pigment with ... hold on ..., I can almost see them "shimmering tones" ... Hair does not feel dry. There is none of that bleach/ammonia/I just killed my hair feeling. Its soft. Bouncy. There is no colour left on my scalp. I am 2 months down and still the colour goes on, and I wash my hair about 3-4 times a week. I love my hair colour. Since using this product over the past year, my hair has completely restored, split ends and breakages seem a thing of the past. I have less hair fall. I'm a convert and won't go back to permanent.

I love this hair colour range Iv been using it for years from being blonde to light brown to a dark brown! I love that its semi permanent and the colour lasts. I like the selection of colours they have in this range also. The smell isn't strong like permanent colour so I always go for this one even though its semi permanent.
