Get your shine on!

I have recieved this product in the colour 412 Iced Cocoa which is a lovely cool dark brown.

The packaging is a different shape to the usual boxed dyes the two top sides fold in which I think looks really cool.

The dye does not have ammonia and is a temporary hair dye meaning it does less damage than a usual hair dye.

The box came with gloves which were soooo small! >.< The colourant, the developer and a conditioner.

The initial look at the dye was similar to many other dyes I have used however, pleasantly there wasn't the strong ammonia smell which is awesome the dye glided on the hair easily and gave okay coverage maybe not the best but that could be also down to application however, I doubt that because I always brush the hair through.

What I ended up doing with the product was I already have ombre-esque medium brown to purple hair so I wanted to dye the top part to make the purple pop! Which it definitely did.

After washing out my hair it was extremely soft and shiny which I absolutely loved.

In terms of colour it is as stated above a cool dark brown on the box however this product looks more of a medium chocolate brown. On the hair it looks a lot more dark.

The dark colour definitely will wash out and fade over time so that's not problem but if you are using this from a light hair to darker hair I would be warned that it is quite dark at least for the first wash.

The box says the dye will last up to 28 shampoos I am not sure about that as I have been going to the beach and I have already seen a bit of colour come out but that's fine because I like the current colour. Waiting to see how long the dye will last not that I am sure I will 100% know as I started with brown hair but will update this when I know.

Overall, do I think this is a good product? yes, is it the best product? no. However, for the price and for what it is I definitely recommend it especially because there aren't many or any other easily accessible products out there. I think if you're wanted to see what a colour will look like on you before you take the plunge this is an awesome product. Also I am going to purchase another one and dye my full head after I get a haircut

Also on a side note the black colour in this product is sold out at my work (The Warehouse) so someone is loving this product.

Happy hair days ladies x

made my hair feel healthy

Used this the other day. My hair is naturally black but I had blonde highlights in it. The dye coloured the highlights beautifully but my natural hair was still black with a bit of a red sheen.

My hair felt healthy after dying it and since my hair is normally very dry and damaged, it was a good product to use in my hair.

Tips: Not for black hair unless you want a tint

Not bad for the price, great shine

This is a really good product for its price - colour representation is accurate and the end result is glossy and rich colour. The depth does fade after a wash or two which is quite quick but not at all bad for what it's worth. Would use this again for a quick touch up or last minute need.

Packaging is good and the actual system is easy to follow and use. Good quality gloves too and plenty of product for mid-length hair.

Loreal Casting Creme Gloss - Chestnut Brown

Package is average, although I did appreciate how easy it was to squeeze the content of the colouring tube into the main bottle for mixing. The fact that it was plastic instead of a semi-metal or foil, it was easier to squeeze without force. Being a creme definitely made the whole process less messy. The consistency was great as it was easy to mix, spread evenly, and massage into head without worrying about drips. The smell of the colouring mixture was subtle which is a plus for me. I have always hated the strong smell of ammonia that seemed to linger even after washing and conditioner. The conditioner smells good too although can be a bit overpowering. I am not sure if it was just me havent done home colouring for a long time, but I have noticed the size/content of the conditioner have increased. I was able to use the conditioner for 5 days!

I definitely admired the effect of the conditioner on my hair. It had definitely given it the "super glossy shine". My hair felt soft straight after use.

Now the only negative thing I found about this product, it didnt give me the colour it says it would even after almost two weeks. I have dark brown/black hair and I still can't see any colour change. Maybe it just need few more washes or I have the wrong base colour to begin with? who knows! Either way, it gave my already dark hair that glossy shine.

Tips: chestnut brown would be better use by someone with lighter natural coloured hair who wants to go a little dark.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

I received this product in a trial team in the shade 'Chocolate Chestnut 515'.

I really like this hair dye, the first thing I noticed was that unlike other hair dyes this one did not have a nasty chemical smell. Applying the product with the applicator bottle made it super easy and a quick process. I was impressed that it came out true to colour and the colour looked glossy and amazing, it really suits my hair. Just after one wash, my hair felt so soft and looked shiny. The only small let down for me would have to be that the gloves that are in the box are really tiny & are a bit hard to put on. Overall, I would still recommend this product to anyone who is needing a quick touch up :-)

Tips: You might need to buy bigger gloves

Nice but not great at covering greys

I enjoyed using this product, but don't think I would again. The reason for this is that it didn't lighten my hair to the colour on the box, and didn't sufficiently cover my greys.

I can't really complain about either of those things though, because the product (1021 Very Light Pearl Blonde) did say that the result will depend on your natural hair colour (mine is quite dark ash blonde) and also says 'if you have a lot of grey hair this shade will not completely cover all grey'.

So in that respect, the product did do exactly what it said it would! It lightened my hair and provided some grey coverage, but just not quite as much as I would have liked it to do either of those things!

The things I did enjoy were the ease of use (simple instructions and a no-mess non-drip formula), the Nutri-Shine conditioner (nice smell and good conditioning properties) and the fact that there is no ammonia in the product. I did feel that the colour of my hair was nice and subtle, looking blonder but not noticeably dyed, which was a bonus as I'm not a fan of the really harsh peroxide blonde look.

In summary, I would recommend this product to a friend if they had naturally lighter hair than me or less greys, but probably not to a friend with hair like mine.

Tips: If your hair is any longer than around shoulder-length, or is very thick, you will probably need two packs to ensure full coverage.

There is plenty of conditioner so you can keep this and use for at least 2-3 conditioning treatments to keep your hair soft and shiny - a nice addition for light blonde shades which are often quite drying.

Casting Creme gloss :-)

I have waited till the very last minute to write this review as I wanted to do a few washes first, and I have to say that' it's pretty much exactly what it claims to be, a non permanent colour that leaves hair glossy, super conditioned and a lovely colour for a few weeks ;-)

After easy application of an ok smelling product which was simple to apply it left my hair super shinny and feeling great! All ticks in my books!!! The colour wasn't as noticeable as a permanent like I would usually use but it had good coverage and my hair felt amazing for a long time!! 12 days and counting !!

Was perfect time of year for me to use it as I like a lighter look in the summer

Best Semi Permanent hair colour i have tried!

When this box arrived, the packaging was just like any other. The smell however is not. It smelt really fruity and yum! Definitely a good start! it came with the plastic applicator in the box as well, but not a brush type one, so i tried to use a comb as well. The dye itself was creamy and thick so when it went on to the hair it would stay in place! I had none drip at all, i didnt even use a cap over my hair or anything, I have a LOT of hair, so i would recommend getting 2 boxes and using both since my hair is also very long. I left the product in my hair for about 30min and then had a shower. The result? Absolutely FANTASTIC. My hair was super glossy the next day and it felt conditioned. It was really soft and it just glistened in the sun. The only issue i would have is that it doesn't last as long as is stated in the box. After about 8 washes i definitely noticed a dull in hair colour. But this is a non-permanent hair colour. It does what it states, i was absolutely blown away with the colour and i will be a repeat customer. There are a lot of different shades to choose form too!

Tips: I would use 2 boxes of dye if your hair is quite long and you have a lot of it, like i do. Also, it comes with the plastic applicator but not a brush type one, so i used a comb at the same time too to comb the dye through, And lastly, if you can minimise hair washes with shampoo i would do that if you want your colour to last as long as possible!

Glossy goodness

This colour was easy to apply, had a pleasant smell and the colour was vibrant and beautiful.it did seem to rinse out after the next few washes after applying but I would assume that was my hair condition more than anything. Left my hair feeling lovely and soft.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

I was picked for the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss trial.

I choose Black Currant.

Firstly I love the packaging, it's eye catching and a fun shaped box.

When I first opened up the box , there was a pleasant fruity scent coming through.

I must say the gloves were very fitting and I have long skinny fingers and bony hands and I was a little taken back by how small they were. These gloves wouldn't be suitable for someone with larger hands.

The mixing of the colour and the developer was easy.

Great bottle! Easy to handle. And very easy to mix the two together.

I was surprised at how much product came out of the bottle I was almost able to spread through all my hair and I have long hair.

It did not stink , it did not burn or itch or annoy me.

I love the fruity scent.

It washed off my skin with ease, however did run in the shower ALOT.

The Conditioner was amazing , very thick and creamy, it drenched my hair in moisture, I was surprised at that. Yummy scent.

After towel drying my hair , my hair is soft, shiny and not at all looking like I just coloured it!!

I will reuse again! I really liked the formula, scent and performance.

Also..it does covers greys exceptionally well!!

**thought I'd update it's now the 9th Feb, the colour is still strong in my hair, I have an inch of regrowth and still the same colour. So there you go :)

Tips: Apply oils (any olive, argan, rosehip) around hairline, forehead, ears to help prevent staining.
