FAQs

1. What is the new Casting Crème Gloss?

The new L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss is our ammonia-free glossing and conditioning hair colour that now features a 10% Gloss Complex with Glycolic Acid. It's designed to leave the hair up to 3x glossier and 4x silkier, enhancing your natural colour with a stunning, mirror-like shine that lasts up to 32 washes.

2. What does a hair gloss do for your hair?

A hair gloss revitalizes your hair by adding a vibrant wash of colour and incredible shine. L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss deeply conditions and seals the hair cuticle, resulting in visibly healthier, silkier hair with a beautiful, glossy finish that, when combined with L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss, lasts up to 2 months.

3. Is L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss permanent?

No, Casting Crème Gloss is a semi-permanent, glossing and conditioning colour that lasts up to 32 shampoos. This means it fades naturally and gradually over time.

4. Does Casting Crème Gloss wash out completely?

Yes, as a semi-permanent hair colour, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss is designed to wash out gradually and completely over time, lasting up to 32 shampoos without leaving a harsh root line.

5. Does Casting Crème Gloss cover grey?

Yes, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss provides optimal coverage for first greys, blending them away for a natural-looking result. However, it is not recommended if you have more than 50% grey hair.

6. Does Casting Crème Gloss lighten hair?

No, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss is an ammonia-free formula that does not contain lightening agents. It is designed to enhance your natural hair colour, add shine, and blend greys, but it cannot lift or lighten your current shade.

7. How long do you leave Casting Crème Gloss on for?

After applying the formula to your hair, you should leave it on to develop for 20 to 25 minutes for the best results.

8. How long does L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss last?

Your vibrant, glossy colour result will last for up to 32 shampoos, fading naturally over time.

9. Can I use Casting Crème Gloss on bleached or highlighted hair?

Yes, you can use Casting Crème Gloss on bleached or highlighted hair. It's a great way to tone your hair, reduce brassiness, and add shine. We recommend choosing a shade that matches your desired tone.

10. Can you put Casting Crème Gloss on unwashed hair?

No, for optimal results, you should apply L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss to damp, towel-dried hair. This helps the formula spread evenly for a consistent, glossy finish.

11. How often can I use L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss?

Since the colour lasts up to 32 shampoos, you can reapply Casting Crème Gloss whenever you feel your colour needs a refresh or your shine is starting to fade, typically every 6-8 weeks.

12. Is a hair gloss damaging?

No, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss has a gentler ammonia-free, conditioning formula. It leaves your hair up to 4x silkier and looking visibly healthier than before you coloured it.

13. Does Casting Crème Gloss contain peroxide?

Yes, like all semi-permanent and permanent hair colours, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss uses a developer crème that contains peroxide. This is necessary to activate the colorants so they can deposit colour onto the hair fibre.

14. Does Casting Crème Gloss contain PPD?

Yes, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss contains PPD (paraphenylenediamine), a colorant commonly used in hair dyes to ensure a long-lasting and natural-looking result. Even if you don't have any allergies, when using any hair colour, it is important to perform an allergy test 48 hours before use.

15. What is the Gloss Complex in Casting Crème Gloss?

Our formula contains a 10% Gloss Complex with Glycolic Acid. This key ingredient works to seal the hair cuticle, locking in colour and creating a long-lasting, mirror-like shine for that ultimate glossy finish.

16. Can I use Casting Crème Gloss on all hair textures?

Absolutely. L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss has been developed and tested to work beautifully on all hair textures, from straight to coyly, ensuring everyone can achieve glossier hair colour than ever before.

17. What comes inside the Casting Crème Gloss box?

Each box of L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss includes one tube of Colorant Crème, one bottle of Developer Crème, one bottle of our iconic Glossing Mask, a pair of protective gloves, and an instruction leaflet.

18. How do I use L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss at home?

It’s easy! First, mix the colourant crème with the developer crème. Apply the non-dripping formula to damp hair and wait for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then apply the Glycolic Acid Glossing Mask. Rinse again to reveal incredibly shiny and silky hair.

19. Will the colour result look natural?

L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss is designed to deliver rich, natural-looking tones. It enhances your base colour for a result that is never fake or flat, just beautifully glossy and true to you.

20. Is there ammonia in Casting Crème Gloss?

No, L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss is completely ammonia-free. This ensures a more pleasant, gentle colouring experience with a lovely scent.

Hair colour

4 months ago
I bought this because I love dark brown hair and wanted it to help get rid of my gingerish dyed hair and the colour on my hair by the time I finished drying wasn't darkest brown! It was extremely black and I'm so disappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing a different shade of brown

No, I do not recommend this product.

New formula causing irritation to my scalp.

6 months ago
Have been using Casting for years and always happy with the result but the change of formula over past few months is causing my scalp to feel really irritated once I put the dye in my hair it starts getting itchy within a couple of minutes. Unfortunately I will have to stop using it. Please L’Oréal bring back the old formula.

No, I do not recommend this product.

New formulation is awful

9 months ago
The new formulation is awful! It’s thinner than the original version and drips everywhere during application. I bought 513, which looks medium/dark brown on the box, but which has turned my hair a horrible harsh black. I used to really like this product but won’t be buying any more!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Colour has changed - DO NOT USE

9 months ago
I have used Light Brown creme gloss for years and have always been really pleased with the result. I dyed my hair today in preparation for going on holiday in 2 days and the colours is completely different. It is a really dark, almost black colour and I look awful. I have washed it 3 times today to try and tone it down but it's not changing. It always used to look natural but just looks like a bad dye job. I'm so upset that it will look so awful on holiday.

Too dark

10 months ago
I dyed my hair with Iced Truffle two days ago. I thought I was being super cautious going for a medium brown as I wanted a cool chocolate brown and know they always come out darker… my hair is basically black. The difference is hysterical. At least the conditioner is gorgeous smelling…

No, I do not recommend this product.

    Terrible new formula

    10 months ago
    I recently used the new formula for colour 306. It's made my hair really brassy and seems to have dyed it rather than just colouring it. It's not washing out, it just gets more orange with each wash. Bring back the old formula please. It was a great product. The new formula is terrible and I won't risk using it again.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Previous product was much better.

    a year ago
    Been using this hair dye for years and have always been really happy. Got confused looking for medium brown now though as it is now called 500 Light Brown. Be careful as it is not , it is medium brown. Their new conditioner does not work for my hair. It left it frizzy and hard to style. The previous honey conditioner was so much better. I wish they had left the previous hair dye alone .

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Best true darkest brown dye

    a year ago
    It lasts well and takes a good 26 washes to wash out. It’s exactly what it should be … a darkest brown hair dye. So many are either too light and have a red tinge or are black. This is the best truest darkest brown hair dye. I’ve used for years and wouldn’t use anything else.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    colour looks natural

    a year ago
    colour looks natural enough. dark shades best used if you have a reasonable amount of hair left. semi permanent washes out gradually so you dont get a definite line of white/ grey appearing on the top of the head.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Worth it

    I've used this twice and love the color. I'm naturally dark and had blonde hair before using this and it looks incredible. I just don't know what shade I'd be in the permanent colour so a bit stuck

    Colour has suddenly changed - 513 Iced Truffle

    3 years ago
    I have used 513 Iced Truffle for years and loved it but sadly the formula must have changed because suddenly I appear to have almost black hair - desperately trying to find another shade but have had to go much lighter to counteract the dark..

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Be careful.....This is not semi permanent!!!

    3 years ago
    I bought and used this dye sometime last year and have used it a few times since. I purposefully bought this because it was semi-permanent and knew that I'd want to change up my hair again soon enough so I didn't want anything too permanent to allow for this. After 3 months and way past 28 washes later, my hair was still the same colour and did not fade one bit. I ended up using this again for my roots and again after that. Now the problem occurred over this past weekend when I finally decided its time for a change so I bought a hair stripper and the permanent nutrisse ginger hair colour which is supposed to work even on dark brown and black hair. I used the hair stripper.....the colour did not come out. I then proceeded to dye my hair the following day....bright ginger roots and practically black hair! This colour would absolutely not budge what so ever. I figured that I did my best and Id just go back and get my usual dye being this one but in a slightly lighter colour (chocolate brown)......well, I ended up having an allergic reaction where my scalp was red raw and bleeding. Turns out the time before I had a milder reaction to it but I have a sensitive scalp anyway so I didn't think it was a reaction. Anyway, the point is this is a great dye if you don't want it to come out. It is very conditioning and doesn't dry your hair out, but be careful and definitely test it before using it! I personally will not be using this dye anymore but it is a good dye if you don't care to wash it out.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Easy to use, good colour but not for greys

    5 years ago
    Colour- I used 'Iced Truffle 513'. It does come out darker than the box colour, but I wanted my hair dark again so I am happy with it. I would say go a shade lighter if you really don't want a dark colour. It does fade slightly with every wash, but after 2 and half months the colour was still looking nice and not too brassy as I used to cover old balayage. Use - Easy to use, gloves are a bit tight and one pair ripped. I needed to use two boxes for full coverage, but my hair is fairly long and quite thick. Grey coverage- not great, if you are looking to cover a substantial amount of grey hair I would avoid this product. My greys are slightly less obvious but still visible. Overall I am happy with how the colour turned out and I have used it twice now. It is very easy to work with and left my hair feeling and looking good.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Easy and does the job

    5 years ago
    This has saved me from looking ancient during lockdown with no hairdressers. It's easy to use, pretty good coverage, and leaves your hair feeling really soft and looking really shiny. I am allergic to lots of things and most hair dye stains my pale skin terribly (always shocks the hairdressers). I am neither allergic to this, nor do I get terrible stained skin. I've seen the bad reviews....not sure why you would complain that a brown hair dye has turned your hair brown. It kind of says it on the box. If you have dark brown hair and want to keep the grey at bay, I think this is a pretty good choice.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    L'Oreal Casting Cream Gloss Darkest Brown (300). This product is easy to apply, lasts well, and covers my greys. I had hoped for it to match my natural colour, which is a dark brown, but the results are quite a bit darker than I would like and appears more black even in bright light. (Unfortunately, after trying twice, it was evident the shade lighter —#400— does not perform the same way for me, refusing to adhere well to my greys.) Pros: It is effective, easy to apply, low odour, and lasts. Cons: Shade results in far darker/black on me than hoped for.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Love this hair dye, it covers all greys really well! It can go a bit dark if you have very porous hair but it works well for me

    Disappointing way too dark

    Bought this expecting it to be every so slightly darker then my natural colour. My hair is almost black and dull and flat. Looks awful very disappointing. Plus the gloves are ridiculously small.

    Lovely shine, covers the greys, Very happy

    7 years ago
    I've been buying this product and colour for several years. I'm very happy with it. Leaves a lovely shine and condition. Starts off a little darker than shown on the box, but fine after the second wash. Covers grey for a few weeks. It's very close to my own hair colour, but I use this to tone down my red/ginger highlights, which I don't like with my skin tone.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Turned my hair orange absolute nightmare!

    8 years ago
    Wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing, I've been using this brand for years and used similar colours with no issue so was surprised when when my hair came out orange! Emergency late night trip back to Boots with a huge hat to dye my hair again! Please stop selling this shade! Not usually one to write reviews but felt a duty to warn other women before they ruin their hair to!

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Unexpected colour... but nice overall

    8 years ago
    I bought the Sweet Honey casting creme gloss about a week ago to cover up a nasty dye job (eek!). At the time I had dark blonde hair with horrible white blonde highlights so i thought this would blend them together more. The product itself did not feel stingy or irritable at all and the process was fairly easy. However, i was expecting a honey blonde colour and instead my hair is now... Ginger. Then again, it did give my hair a glossy look and the colour is quite lovely. If you buy this product i recommend doing a testing patch. If ginger is not your thing i would try something else.

    No, I do not recommend this product.
