L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

I used Light Blond. Now I have changed from blond to looking like a dark haired mole. It is a terrible shock. Horrid product. Colour on box bears no resemblance to reality. Hair feels like sandpaper. All shine gone. No address given for complaint

I bought 4 boxes. Fortunately retailer listened to my horror story and reimbursed. Now I have to wash hair 24 times quickly to get rid of it. Steer clear of L'Oreal.

I wanted to blend the greys with my natural brown - but this dye made the whole lot dark brown and not glossy after half of the recommended developement time. Tried calling them for advice next time but they just cut me off each time without answering. Very poor customer service and not at all satisfied.

I have used the Casting iced chocolate, it was okay, and the Casting chestnut brown 5CB and a Casting neutral brown. Neutral turned brassy, and the chestnut brown turned orange on new root growth. I was alarmed? Your box colors do not show the color as it is? Even on line, one is a darker picture, another is lighter, yet the colour number is the same. How can you have so many variations on the same colour?

I don't know who said this product is less damaging, that's not true, it damaged my hair, so I think there is more peroxide in it, then is supposed to be and like another poster here, the dye took me months to wash out?

If L'Oreal expects the oils in the box to fix the damage after it's done, it doesn't.

By the way, I use to use Casting years ago, it was always true to the box color, and it never damaged my hair, in fact it made my hair feel better. Why did L'Oreal mess with what was once a good product? I'm very disappointed and afraid to put anymore Casting dyes in my hair.

I have used the Loreal Casting Creme Gloss hair colour a few times a year for years and I used to be happy with it. It made my hair feel soft and look glossy afterwards - but the last few times I have used it it made my hair feel course and dry. Also the colouring seems to have changed because I have tried a few shades (red ones) and they all turn out darker and basically the same shade. The colour also tends to cling to the hair in places for quite a long time after it should have washed out.

I have to say another thing I dislike about the product is the gloves - I have pretty small hands but they do not fit me. I struggle to get them on and they always rip and my hands get stained. Really, disposable gloves are cheap enough and they should provide useable ones.

I think changes may have been made to the formula of this product because it is not the same as it used to be.

I used to love your hair dyes, but you suddenly stopped producing my favorite colour. That was 2 years ago, since then I have tried different colours and I have been very disappointed the colours don't last and I am very very disappointed with these products

I bought the darkest brown as a change of hsir colour as I thought it would wash out after 20 or so washes which it says on the box. DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SEMI PERMANENT I have washed my hair about 30 times and its still as dark as the day I coloured it. If I had known this I would not have used this product. Now I am going to have to let my hair grow out which will take about a year. I am NEVER going to use a Loreal product again.

I have used L'Oreal Casting Crème Gloss for about 4 years now and I can honestly say that it is one of the best hair colouring products I have used.

There is a wide variety of colours available - so much so that most retail outlets usually only stock a small selection. You can get really creative with your hair with regards to colour, but as its a Level 2 tint, it does not really wash out as their TV ads suggest. It does however wash out of grey hair after a couple of washes, but then again, the product is not designed to colour grey hair and states that on the package.

The product is easy to use, it smells great and does not drip unless you wave the applicator around wildly. If it drips on your skin or touches the skin around your hairline you don't have to worry about it as it will just wash off. I have also been able to get it out of the clothes that I was wearing during the colouring process.

The conditioner which comes with it is AMAZING. As usual the little bottle is very small although the manufacturer insists that you should keep on using it for weeks to come. I usually got away with 2 applications before the bottle emptied.

It really does add a great gloss to your hair, and I always received a lot of compliments.

A lot of people have complained that the product kicks up red in their hair, but that is because their hair already has red in it. People also don't understand that the hair dye which is already in their hair, will react with the colour you put in your hair. Crème Gloss will not remove colour from your hair, even though it does contain peroxide. I think that some people are disappointed in the product because their expectations does not match the abilities of the product, and though its a fun product it would be wrong to say that the product is commitment free.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to have a bit of fun, add some shine and vibrant tones to their hair. I would not recommend it for anyone who has a lot of grey hair as the product will not cover their grey hair.

It is the best in its class and I only stopped using it as I now have too many greys for the product to deal with successfully.

I've tried different colours in this brand range on a few occasions. I've tried 3 colours in their light brown - darker brown shades and each one has come out RED!! It's also rubbish at covering greys.

It does make your hair glossy but I won't be using this again.

This product is great! Leaves your hair soft and shiny. Great value for money.

Bought the 'chocolate brownie' hair colour.

Nowhere does it mention that it will turn your hair red! The image on the packet is a dark brown, which was what I wanted!

Do not buy this if you want dark hair it makes you ginger as it fades and is horrible!

Although the casting creme gloss in general makes your hair nice and shiny...
