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.

L’Oreal hair colour 3102

I use this colour regularly to cover my grey, however used on its own I end up with hair that’s very close to black. I usually mix it with 513 that gives me an ashy brown rather than nearly black

Wrong name- not a cool brown tone

4 years ago
Th name of this colour is misleading as I was expecting a cool tone colour rather than a warm one but it made my hair reddish so not at all what I was planning to have. It is a very warm brown, not a cool one

Gorgeous cool brown shade & long lasting colour

This is my perfect hair colour shade! My hair is dark brown and goes light/red in the sun. This dye made it a gorgeous all over dark brown with no red tones in sight. It was simple, easy to use and smelt gorgeous. My hair felt in really good condition after application and it lasted a good couple of months

    A lovely rich dark brown colour. Easy to use offering full coverage. Covered my grey hairs well, other colourant struggle with stubborn greys. I will use this again. 2 boxes needed due to the length of my hair- its half way down my back for reference

    Not as advertised 'cool'

    5 years ago
    I usually go for darkest brown in the same product which is great. I tried this colour out, as it mentions a cool colour, and that it removes the warm tones from the hair. I knew as soon as I put it on it was a mistake. The creme was very red and when I washed this out my hair was a very warm brown. Alot of red tones in there. Then to add to my disappointment it died my bed sheets red and also my t-shirt I was wearing (even after 2 hair washes). This has never happened with the other loreal casting creme in the colour I normally use. (darkest brown). Do not be fooled like me into thinking this doesn't have a red colour to it. I would describe it was warm dark brown.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Really liked this hair colour and the fact it contains moisturising agents. My hair felt nice after applying and the greys had gone - would repurchase

    Such a good hair dye. I always love using L’Oreal as your hair always feels so soft after dyeing and never feels like you’ve used a cheap product. It covers and lasts evenly Also the conditioners that come with it are some of the best I’ve ever used

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    This hair dye went a lot further than I thought. I have long hair, so usually need 2 boxes. One box covered my head fine, very impressed. The dye itself was nice and smooth, easily applied and very pigmented. Left it for the allotted time, washed out, which actually came out very easily. The conditioner smells amazing, makes me think of holidays abroad! The end result was brilliant, great coverage on the greys, nice and even, and a lovely shade, definitely pick this up next time.

    I’m a huge fan of coconut and love the benifits it brings when using on my hair/body etc so I was excited to try this hair dye and really wasn’t disappointed.My hair never felt or looked damaged which can happen after dying my hair. The colour is a really beautiful rich dark shade and I was very happy with the outcome. The packaging is also appealing,colourful & informative. Definitely a hair dye I would use again & would highly recommend.

    Lovely shade, a little darker than I thought it would be but it's lovely on. The casting creme is one of my favourite at home dyes as it leaves my hair feeling nourished, super soft and really shiny.

    Beautiful, radiant color and gentle yet long lasting formula. Product is great for any hair type and one bottle easily can cover even very long hair (mine are almost waist length). Covers perfectly and leaves hair shiny and not damaged at all. It is nice cool tone too. A but on dark side which I like. Recommend.

    I got this for a friend and she loved it! Having used creme gloss in the past these newer ones have much nicer scents and are so moisturising it doesn’t dry out the hair. Also gave a lovely shine and colour!

    This is a really easy to use and quick semi permanent hair dye. Easy to follow instructions and easy to mix. Its scent wasn't over bearing. It was quick to apply and I only needed to leave it on for 20 mins, which was great. One pack was enough to cover my long hair. I didn't like the gloves, they were a bit too small. It was hard to rinse out and took so long. I liked the conditioner that I used at the end. I like that it was in a bottle and had a coconut fragrance. The colour result was darker than I expected. It's darker than the pack says it should be. But it will fade with each was so I'm not too worried. My hair was left very shiny when I dried it. Overall it was a nice semi permanent dye.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Fantastic colour with real death n shine ! Extremely easy to use no mess and leaves hair feeling soft ! As with all dark colours the only negative would be if your really grey/white the roots can go ever so slightly lighter than the rest of the hair but with this one I’ve hardly noticed ! Definitely recommend

    Easy to use, even colour distribution, and the conditioner feels luxurious on your hair. I put one star for fragrance as hair dye NEVER smells good. The conditioner smells yummy though. I'm not sure if it will hold out for the 28 washes estimated, but so far this is a very satisfying product.

    I love this hair colour. I was very surprised that a non permanent hair colour can cover up grey hair. It was simple to use and easy to apply. The conditioner smelt nice. Afterwards my hair feels nice and soft and has a lovely shine. I love the colour I chose too, it’s a very natural looking colour. I would definatley recommend it and will most certainly use this again. Thank you
