Casting Crème Gloss Reviews

Love this non-permanent colour as the effect is salon-quality but fades so you can change your look as often as you like and at an affordable price! Gorgeous range of shiny and richly pigmented colours. Doesn't dry out hair and covers greys.

I have brought and used this branded hair colour too many times to count. It's one of the top few I regularly buy. I always buy the deep reds/mahongany/deep auburns and find that it gives me great coverage of my greys and will give me 100% coverage for at least 2 full weeks. This may not sound like a long time but my hair grows quite quick, so no colour really lasts forever on my greys. I like that the fumes aren't too heavy and my hair is actually left with a pretty scent for a few days. My hair ends up looking super shiny. It's not affordable for me to visit the hairdressers to keep my hair colour up-to-date, so I must rely on DIY hair colours.

L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss deserves the Glosscars for Best In Beauty 2011 because this is by far the best semi permanent hair colour out there. I have been using this since years and very impressed with the results. The fact that it is ammonia free makes it safe for the hair. No harsh chemicals or pungent smell. Rest assured that my hair will not be damaged while I can get the best colour at home!

It is easy to use with simple well explained instructions and there is everything you need in the box. Quick developing time: 20 minutes is a winner for me! The process is simple and relatively mess free. The shade range is great, Iced Chocolate and Mahogany are my favourites!

The little conditioner that comes with it needs a special mention because it is the best conditioner, EVER! It adds life, shine and health to my newly coloured hair, makes the colour more vibrant. It smells simply AWESOME! The people at L'Oreal need to make this in big bottles!

Results: Vibrant colour and superb shine! My hair feels so soft and looks healthy. It gives perfect coverage (I do have a few greys) Overall, it is the best out there!

I bought this dye in an attempt to get a vibrant colour without having to permanently dye my hair colour. I get bored with colour very easy so semis are always a better option.
This dye after a few months is still there, a hint of the colour.
I like that though, my hair colour changes a lot now, it fades and I'm left with a new colour.

I have very long thick hair but only bought one packet, I don't know why I usually need 2 boxes when I buy hair dye but this time I just bought the one.
First the packaging is nice and fancy, I like the top of the box I find it much easier to open than other boxes.
Then how everything was packaged, looked nice and good quality.
The instructions were easy and very understandable.
So I got on some old clothes and got started, I didn't bother with Vaseline around my neck and hairline.
The application was easy and it spread nicely, and despite in the past having to buy more than one box this dye was just enough.
I got patches of dye on my head but I didn't mind I was used to it.
I left the dye on my head for about 15 minutes more, dye usually doesn't penetrate my hair as much as it should with the given time on the box.

I washed it with the provided conditioner and in the end it gave me a gorgeous head of red hair.
A nice vibrant red colour, it just sparkled in the sun!
It left my hair a little dry but that was to be expected.
Also the patches on my head and neck washed off very easy.
Overall this dye is great and I think this would be a very good dye for beginners.
I recommend this to anyone even beginners because it's very easy to understand.

This is one of the easiest, best at home hair colourants that i've ever used. And i've used so many different brands.

It's really gentle as it contains no ammonia, and it leaves your hair silky soft no matter how dry and damaged it is (as mine certainly was). I used this in Plum and it made my hair the most gorgeous brunette colour with a tinge of purple.

What I love about this over other products is the mess free application tube. It makes applying the colourant so easy and mess free, I don't get hair colour spots all over my bathroom anymore! There's the perfect amount of colour in the tube to cover hair that is halfway between shoulder length and elbow length. The coverage is excellent, i've never had any issues with parts of my hair not being the same colour as the rest of my hair (which happened quite a lot with other brands). The cream spreads easily throughout all of your hair.

It also smells really nice and fruity, unlike other colourants that smell harsh and full of chemicals. My favourite thing about this product though it how quickly you can apply it. Usually it takes me 30 - 40 minutes to apply hair colour and get it through all of my hair but this only takes 10 - 15 minutes. Again, this is because of the application tube. It's so easy to get the colour out and onto your hair.

The one thing that could be improved is the fragrance in the conditioner. It's really strong and hurts my nose, it's really florally. The conditioner itself is really rich and nourishing though. It leaves my hair so soft and silky (and smells nice and florally for days after use).

As you would expect, the Plum colour doesn't last very long (about a week to a week and a half, depending on how often you wash your hair). However the nice brunette shade leftover doesn't fade. With other colours that aren't so unnatural i'm sure it has better staying power and won't fade.

I'll definitely keep buying this. Even if the purpley colour doesn't last very long, I love the brunette colour (which is a lot coming from me who hated being a natural brunette for years). It's also very affordable and is often on special which makes it even better. Definitely try this one out if you're considering it.

I was keen to dye my hair but it needed a lot more moisture before I could contemplate changing colours again. I decided use Casting Creme Gloss for their ease of use, pleasant smell and colour payoff. The moment I washed the colour out my hair had new life! I felt like new again despite the fact I spent less than $20 on it. Best part also as a 'semi' colour is that it doesn't wash out in the shower or when you shampoo your hair. Super affordable, easy to use and brilliant results! Love love love!

I have to put rinses through my hair as it takes many years for permanent to wash out. In the past I used the LIVE rinses which were great, but now I think I shall be changing to the Creme Gloss. The colour lasts for at least the 6-8 washes stated with ease. The shine lasts for just as long!!! My sister in law was commenting weeks after I put the colour through on how shiny my hair was.

I'm not much of a hair colour person, usually I just stick with my normal dark brown colour which I'm happy with. However I felt like abit of a change and decided to put some of Loreal's Auburn colour through to make things abit interesting! Because I already have dark hair it is not an obvious or intense colour change but I can definitely notice a difference and the colour shines beautifully in the light!
The smell is as expected for an at-home dye kit but nothing too strong or horrible. The instructions were clear and easy to use also.
The best part is how smooth and soft my hair felt after washing out the dye! I looved how nourished it felt with just a light shampoo! The next day I still get whiffs of the dye smell, even the day after I get the occasional smell of it when my hair shifts, but it's nothing overwhelming just something I noticed while moving around.
Overall however I'm super happy with the colour payoff and I've noticed in the past that it has lasted for a good month and longer before it begins to lose it's colour. Very good product for the price!

I was a part of the Bh trial on the L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss for blondes and let me tell you I was super excited to trial this one out…. Firstly the product is ammonia free which is a great positive for me… and its not a permanent solution so if the colour doesn't turn out as you hoped, you won't be too disappointed….

We got to choose what shade of colour we would be interested in and I choose the 801 Silky Blonde, when it arrived I was a little nervous as the colour looked quite close to my natural hair colour on the box…

The box it comes in is really helpful and has basically all the information on it to help you along ….

I would suggest getting some help though if you are fairly new to this whole D.I.Y as I am… The pack comes with a pull out instructions and rubber gloves and all other necessities.. I have quite long hair so it was a huge help to have another pair of hands to help completely cover the roots of the hair and massage into the lengths.. and one pack covered the entire length of hair with such ease..

The bottle in which you mix the colorante in is so easy to use and comes with a nozzle head that allows you to get right into the roots of your hair… Leave the dye in the hair for 20 minutes before rising off in the shower. The box also comes with an enhancing shine conditioner which you use after washing the hair dye out and also smells so good.

After completely drying the hair to see the complete results I was happy with the turnout, although they weren't anything spectacular it did lighter my hair about one tone lighter. You couldn't really tell I had dyed my hair but the colour gave life to my dull and messy hair and added an extra shine to it.

Great for any first time D.I.Yers as the instructions are so easy to follow and the tools you are supplied with are so simple to use so you really cannot go wrong with this one…
If you're a bit nervous with hair colour this is a must as it is only semi-permanent and the results turn out great so give it a go!
