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

3 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.

Please bring back Chocolate Brownie!

4 months ago
I have used 454 Chocolate Brownie for years and loved the colour - it's a perfect glossy rich brown with red...but the new goji brown (still 454) is not the same! All red and no deep rich brown! I've tried so many others since the change and can't find anything that comes close to the same colour - please please bring chocolate brownie back!

No, I do not recommend this product.

This colour turned my hair a dark red. If you google the colour you will see that most people get a dark red colour from it. As it looks totally unnatural I am now faced with trying to correct it.

Not “temporary”

5 months ago
I bought this for fun to dye my hair for summer due to the advertisement of “TEMPORARY hair dye” - its now been about 6 months and I cannot get it out my hair at all,I have tried different shampoos and temperature washed and nothing works. I couldn’t see any o difference at all when I died it and neither could people around me however, now it’s given me awful roots and I regret it will never buy this again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

New formula causing irritation to my scalp.

5 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.

A Wow colour

6 months ago
As a greying lady, I didn't want a permanent colour on my hair and forever having to do my roots. Everybody I have met has complimented me on the colour although it is very different to normal. I think that I should have bought some colour shampoo and conditioner though as it is fading slowly after 2 washes.

Yes, I recommend this product.

No L’Oréal - just NO!!

6 months ago
L’Oréal!! What have you done!? I have been using this product for many, many years - various colours - and have absolutely loved it. The compliments I used to get for my lovely shiny hair were many. Lately because of my grey roots I have used 600 which was the perfect colour for me. Alas I just bought two boxes as usual and it is dreadful!! At first I wondered why the mixed colour was white… but it did turn brown eventually which meant I didn’t see any splashes on my face until last minute. The conditioner smelled and had a weak consistency. I usually leave the conditioner on for at least 6 minutes and my hair is tangle free - Not this time! My hair was matted and very, very dark! It looked dreadful! None of the usual shine and bounce - just flat, dry and dull looking! Thankfully I had some conditioner left from one of the original boxes which rescued it a bit. Now I have to try and find another brand or perhaps finally go to a salon for my root touch up! Hopefully L’Oréal get to see these reviews and get their act together! Bring back the old formula! Please!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Deep, rich chocolate brown: 415 Iced Chocolate

6 months ago
I bought the 415 Iced Chocolate for my long hair and needed 2 boxes for full coverage. I started with natural light brown hair with golden tones toward the ends. After dyeing, it’s a deep, rich chocolate brown with subtle hints of auburn in certain lights. It’s such a lovely colour! My hair looks incredibly glossy and smells amazing. I was a bit wary about trying this shade because of mixed reviews, but it’s the perfect dark chocolate for autumn and winter if that’s the look you’re after.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Plum/Prune 😢

Used this for a long time, preferred it to be called Plum as it was, Prune just doesn’t sound right. But excellent coverage

Horrid change of colour!

8 months ago
Really dsappinted I have used 415 Iced chocolate for years which was a lovely colour very warm looking with hints of auburn. Now it is still 415 but called iced brown it is awful. No warmth to the colour just near enough black very boring & I do not like it at all. Will not be buying again & will switch to a different brand too!

Skin reaction from new formula

8 months ago
I have used this colour for years, and then you change the formula. I used this new formula and I end up having a reaction, and my hands and scalp are red raw and blistering. I always do a patch test, no problems, and now I'm stuck with 2 boxes of the same formula that I can't use.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Terrible 'new formula '

8 months ago
I have used 454 chocolate brownie for several years, I was very happy with it.some months ago 454 became Gigi brown. The colour is now more orange, the conditioner does not leave hair soft and silky like the old formula. Probably the worst thing is the colour transfers onto pillowcases & jacket collars, very disappointed. Please bring back the old formula, I am currently looking for a different hair dye.

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

9 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.

I don’t want purple hair

9 months ago
I need to buy a new bottle of Amber. I have been using it for years. Couldn’t find it in two supermarkets so checked Boots to see if it was still available. I hadn’t realised till reading reviews that the formula had changed. I received compliments even from strangers about the colour but now, as a few people have left negative reviews, I won’t be buying it again. I will be looking for another brand

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.

Good durability, bad quality

10 months ago
I bought this hair dye as I usually do, and it unfortunately doesn’t work as well as it used to. It’s durable, but extremely low quality, and I have no idea why they changed the formula. It’s definitely not an improvement of coverage, and I don’t think I would recommend

No, I do not recommend this product.

New formulation is awful

10 months ago
I have been using this colour and brand for years. They changed the formulation and instructions and it's now AWFUL. The patch test leaves a stain on your arm, the formulation drips more and dyes everything, and the colour isn't as good. Now I'm on the hunt for a new dye.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Why change the formula?!

11 months ago
I have used Chocolate Brownie for about 8 years now and its the perfect colour. So why suddenly change the formula? And change the name? The NEW Goji Brown which has the same picture and 454 number is not the same colour. Its very purple so please all be aware when thinking you'll get the same colour as before. Could the Loreal team advise which colour is now closest to the original Chocolate Brownie colour? I'm a bit stuck with what to do with my hair now! Thank you

No, I do not recommend this product.

Disappointed - Amber 645

11 months ago
Unfortunately I was very disappointed in this updated product. I’ve been successfully using the Traditional L’Oreal Casting since the very start of COVID and have unsatisfactorily tried the new version Twice. Using it on wet hair, per Instructions, makes it tacky and difficult to massage in. It didn’t have the same cover and was lighter in colour leaving my hair too light and streaky! When I ordered this, I was so disappointed when it arrived as you are still advertising the, ‘Old Product Box’, and that’s what I expected to receive 😩!

No, I do not recommend this product.

So disappointed in new version of Casting

a year ago
Oh dear what have they done to the lovely casting hair colour? It’s a different colour and no longer leaves your hair shiny and glossy in a great condition. I’ve been using this brand for years and years and so very disappointed in this new version -it leaves my hair feeling very dry and in poor condition so need to find a replacement now.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not an improvement

a year ago
Like others who have written here, I am not happy at all with the new formula. The pigments are simply not the same colour as before, and however much L'Oreal might like to dispute this, they are 100% wrong. In addition, and this is much more serious, this changed formula causes my skin to itch like crazy for weeks afterwards, especially in places where skin rubs against itself such as the navel and top side of elbow. I used the old formula for years and years, so I do know that there is a difference. I was perfectly happy before. I am not now, but really don't know what to use instead. L'Oreal can deny what everyone says as much as they like, but their new formula is not as good and is potentially dangerous due to the skin reaction I have noted above.

No, I do not recommend this product.
