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.

    Changed product not good

    4 months ago
    I used the Medium Brown 600 colour for years – it had a rich vibrant tone while not being overly dark. I was dismayed to find it had been replaced with Dark Blonde 600 – not the same colour at all, flatter and duller with a gingery note. Now, confusingly, Medium Brown 600 on the shelves again (new formula) but it is really the Dark blonde product, still a duller, lighter shade. The new conditioner doesn’t leave hair glossy, but dull and matt looking. Why mess with a great popular product? Please bring back the original Med Brown 600. Look at how the reviews have fallen off a cliff.

    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.

    Very unhappy with the changed formula.

    6 months ago
    I really hope you will drop this new formula and revert to the original one that I've been using for the past 25 years. I always had so many compliments on my hair and I recommended Casting Creme Gloss to all my friends. Not now though, this new one is horrible. Half way through doing my roots the product congealed inside the bottle and there was no getting it out to complete the job, I had to open a new box so it cost me twice what it should have. This has happened the two last times I've used this product. As others have said it doesn't cover the grey very well and the condition it leaves your hair in is not acceptable. I've now got to find an alternative. Please, please go back to the original formula it, was so easy to use and the results were really very good. This new formula is awful, I'd give it zero stars if I could.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I have used L'OREAL semi permanent Castings for a few years now. I find it very good. After putting on the conditioner at the end of the procedure it leaves your hair really soft and shining. I am in my late sixties so have to be careful not to leave it on any longer than the 25 minutes suggested as it colours my hair to dark for my skin colour. I am thinking of going a shade lighter as nothing look worse on an older person than your hair colour being to dark. I think it is brilliant and can recommend it 100%.

    I've had this problem with casting colours before, the cplour on the pack is no reflection of the colour result! I was aiming for a light brown as it says on the pack and as the colour on the box would imply, but it came out a VERY dark dark shade of brown, - nothing at all like the colour guide!

      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…

      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

      New formula not good

      11 months ago
      I have been using Castings for years and Universal Nudes. There is a definite difference in this new formula that ok really do not like and find too worrying to continue to use. On application the dye when developing turned a distinctive green colour. Although my hair didn't turn green it certainly was not as shiny etc as the previous formula in fact it was quite drying. I tried it again just in case it was a one off problem and the same thing happened. I have been using the same 603 shade for years so I have not dramatically changed hair colour. I will not chance using it again. Please revert to the original ingredients. Although loreal insist it is the same it certainly doesn't react the same therefore sadly I will have to find an alternative.

      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.

      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 .

      Not the same product

      a year ago
      I agree with the more recent reviews here. The new formulation is not the same. The colour is completely different - much lighter and it has left my hair a nasty gingery colour and it is not semi-permanent - I have root growth showing back. Also why apply to wet hair? Also 20 minutes does not seem enough time for the colour to develop properly.

      Different formula, completely different result

      a year ago
      Now called dark blonde and very gingery, completely lightened my hair, I have since bought two boxes of my normal light brown which according to reviews will be way too dark as it’s now a 500. Gutted have used Casting for years and will now have to find another brand. New formula feels very permanent, stay away if you’re looking for a semi permanent have totally wasted my money

      Very Unhappy with this product

      a year ago
      I am very disappointed with the new blend. I switched from medium brown to light brown sometime ago. When I bought the Light brown this time I noticed that the colour number had changed from 600 to 500 but it still said Light Brown. I trusted that it would give me the same colour. How wrong I was! I now have hair much darker than l wanted. If you intend to change names / numbers you should make it perfectly clear how the new match the old. Reading recent reviews it appears I am not the only one who got caught out like this. Not good for customer relations.

      Good hair colour. I have short hair so colour regularly and was using permanent colours. After trying this I’m going to stay with this as it lasts as long as a permanent. Maybe different if I had long hair. The colour is good too. Slightly darker than expected but not far out.

      Feel bad writing not great reviews, but I just feel I should warn anyone looking to use this as a gloss treatment rather than to change the colour of your hair - this doesn’t work. My hair was looking slightly dull so I used the casting crème “gloss” in a shade the same colour as my hair. It’s not in the slightest bit glossy! It’s almost mattifying. My hair looks so damaged now, it’s horrible. The colour is nice, but just so so dull. It also smells really strong for a semi permanent dye.
