I really like this product L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss. I tend to have a slightly sensitive scalp so I am really pleased when I find something that doesn't irritate me and does what it says!
The packaging works well, shows pictures of the hair colour, reads well. Inside are a pair of gloves, the colour mixture and conditioner for afterwards. I would also suggest having a rubbish bag ready for afterwards, old dark clothes as you don't want any stains. Easy to follow instructions, mean that applying colour is easy, and there is a lot of mixture so unless you have really really long hair its unlikely you will run out of mixture. I also have a roll of glad wrap handy and wrap up my hair once applied so I don't drip dye everywhere as it stains!!! The dye smells quite pleasant, not overly chemically. it does look really dark while on your hair before you wash it out, but don't worry it'll be fine. Rub off any dye that has landed on skin as soon as you spot them or they will be there awhile! After 20 minutes, wash the dye out in the shower until water runs clear then apply the conditioner. My hair was so very soft afterwards I didn't realise how much it needed a conditioning treatment.
Final results - the colour is a bit darker than the picture shows, but has a nice dark chocolate sheen in the sunshine. Hair is really soft and conditioned. My few white hairs are now a lovely dark chocolate. Perfect!
I was lucky enough to be chosen for the trial of this. I opened the box found a lovely big container of conditioner which great coz there is never enough in other brands. Next I opened the gloves, great fit. I hate getting big gloves, you can't do a good job with big gloves. I mixed everything up, nice smelling. Not horrible like most. Goes on well and easy. Nice vibrant colour, beautiful and soft afterwards. I've always had good results with at home hair dye kits and this isn't any different, would recommend even just because it doesn't stink the house out. I can't wait to see how the colour lasts over the next few weeks
