L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

This review is for caramel colour. outside packaging is nice and colourful. usual clear applicator bottle, two hand glove, easy instruction sheet, colour and conditioner. Consistency is thick when mixed together, and easy to apply to hair. Smell is nice, no ammonia and not very heavy. I followed the instruction as to damp hair and towel dry. since my hair was highlighted and I needed to re-toned it different colour it worked for me. when applying colour I worked from roots to end and left it for required time washed with warm water and applied jelly conditioner. I got nice caramel colour on my highlighted hair. Disappointed as it did not colour grey hair that much. Yes I will buy again to re-tone my highlighted hair..

Smell was pretty strong - could smell it as soon as I opened the courier package. It wasn't the usual chemical smell though, pretty fruity.

As I have thick hair in knew this wouldn't cover it all so used it to cover up blonde ends of hair that have grown out over last few months.

It went on same as most other hair dyes I've used - trickiest part was not getting it on my clothes. Gloves did the job & solutions mixed nicely.

Coverage was good - certainly covered up any blonde bits & my hair was left silky smooth after using the conditioner.

After one wash the colour still seems strong & my hair still has the shiny sheen on the ends.

The only negative would be the strong perfumed smell of the product - it was nice it wasn't the usual chemical smell but not sure it needed to be so strong.

I got a silky blonde casting creme hair dye from the October 2016 Beauty Vault. This was the first time dying my hair and I wanted to go from dark blonde to lighter/silky blonde. The results were a bit disappointing, I have to say. While I did see a change it was a much smaller change than I had hoped, it is noticeable in the sunlight and in some streaks (although I dyed my whole head). However, my hair didn't not like the hair dye (not what I expected)! Instead of drying out, my hair felt healthier and with slightly more of a curl in it than before dying. I'm going to attribute this to the conditioner that is applied after dying. So if I do decide to go darker I would definitely go back to this product, or if I was just touching up already light hair I would also use the Casting Creme Gloss.

These are great for a wash out dye however dont be fooled they do stain your hair and leave colour build up on your hair. I bleached my hair years ago and had only ever used this dye and all of the colour build up stayed and was showing! However if you are not planning on going lighter at any time then these a perfect for a quick fix without the commitment!

This product is an excellent choice for the price. I find my hair is super shiny after using the conditioner. The box contains plenty of dye - more than enough for my hair (which is thick and long.) I would say however that if you’re going for a red or auburn colour it won’t come out quite as vibrant as the colour on the box would suggest.

I've used this product several times to cover greys and it works great. However I do tend to leave it on way longer than suggested...mainly because I get side tracked. I use the darker colours and I love the soft feeling my hair has after using.

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.

Pretty good, I liked the colour, and seems to have lasted a while, but hasn't last stayed consistent, some areas are now a lot lighter than others. I do like that it doesn't seem to have damaged my hair.

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.

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.
