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.

New Formula Grey Colour instead of Blonde

8 months ago
I have been using L’Oréal Casting 801 Satin Blonde for the past 15 years, and it has always given me the perfect blonde color. However, since the new formula was introduced, my hair has become greyish and extremely dry. I am very disappointed and will not be using this product again.

Just perfect for me

9 months ago
Lots of negative reviews but this worked out perfectly for me! In the past I have used the honey blonde (too warm for my now greying hair) and iced blonde (which was too blonde to blend in the grey) but satin blonde was just right!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Grey not blonde

Very disappointing. This is my usual colour which I’ve used for years and the new formula has turned my hair grey not blonde. The previous colour was so beautiful and suited me perfectly. Why did they have to change something that was working well?

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bad couler

This dye does not give any shine or definition to the highlights. On the contrary, it turns the color to a rusty orange. I do not recommend it at all.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not the colour on the box

5 years ago
I bought this to try and tone down my bright blonde hair. It came out a nice colour (a very light ash blonde), however I was expecting it to make it darker - this may be me being a novice with hair colouring but the colours on the back of the box appeared to make the blonde darker. This would be ideal if you’re looking to tone out brass / yellow!

No where near the colour on the box

Tried 801 - dreadful. Agree with all the 1 star reviews in that it turned my hair GREY. I wonder if the L'Oreal company will take any notice if what anyone reports.

No, I do not recommend this product.

My go to hair colour

a year ago
I adore this product and shade - looks like I came out of the salon with highlights but about £100 cheaper! Also leaves hair in lovely condition. It's a beigey ash blonde shade which is perfect for me, really natural looking.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Grey not blond!

2 years ago
Absolutely dreadful colour - turned my hair grey! No blond colour, nothing like colour shown on box. Hair hugely more grey, duller + drier than before dyed. Previously used 8304 sweet honey - great colour, same as appeared on box, but its unfortunately discontinued. This 801 shade, advised as nearest shade to 8304, is far from it. Totally agree with previous bad reviews. Bring back 8304.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not a good substitute for my usual colour.

2 years ago
I have been unable to find my usual colour (8304 sweet honey) This shade (801 Satin Blonde) seemed a close match on the box but it is an awful colour. I seem to have more grey than before, colour looks very flat and dull. I have lost my lovely varied golden tones that I had with Sweet Honey so very unhappy.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Turns out grey

2 years ago
Have just tried Satin Blonde and my hair turned out grey - which is what I would be if I didn't colour it! Why oh why did they discontinue Sweet Honey blonde, which I used happily for years. There's no good replacement in the range and I don't want to move to permanent colour.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Colour works well for me

2 years ago
This colour has helped my to get my hair lighter so that grey regrowth is not so obvious. I would call the colour ash blonde. It fades quite quickly especially in the sun but this but this is a positive for me as my hair looks like it has had more professional help.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Disappointed

2 years ago
I couldn't get my normal honey blonde shade (L'Oreal in their "wisdom" seems to have discontinued it without supplyng a good alternative) so I had to try this one. It's much cooler than my usual 8304 shade and has turned out dull. Very disappointed and won't be buying it again. Looks like, after all these years, it's time to give up on L'Oreal and look for another brand.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Dreadful colour

My normal shade had gone off the shelves, unfortunately. I tried this and was horrified with the colour colour it turned my hair to. It went a horrid ash blonde, in fact a grey colour, dreadful. Will never use this colour again. I do not recommend this colour

Natural looking result

3 years ago
I have used this many times now. It is easy to use; colouring my remaining dark hairs well and blending in the grey/silver to give a natural looking shade. The hairs finish as a range of colours, rather than a block colour and even my hairdresser says it looks good. A couple of friends have also converted to this product. As the hair grows, there is not an obvious growth line such as you get with permanent dye. Rather a lot of conditioner comes with it, which I find I don't use up and therefore I tend to build up a collection.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Saved me during lockdown!

5 years ago
Because of lockdown, I can’t get my hair coloured so decided I needed to do it myself for the first time. I read reviews of every product and this one came out best so I bought it. I’m so glad I did as it has completely transformed my hair leaving it in great condition. It will save my me hundreds from now on.

Casting Creme 801

5 years ago
Bought this as had washed out, faded lockdown hair due to lockdown and the hairdressers being shut for 12 weeks. Hair was looking tired and had 1.5inch grey roots!! First time I have home coloured and very pleased with the shade. Not too bright blonde but has given my hair a shine back. It didn't cover ALL of my grey roots, as only a semi-permanent colour, but I will just use my Garnier Root Touch up (in red box) in Dark Blonde to colour in the greys on top. Would recommend if you just want to refresh your colour during lockdown.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Fine

6 years ago
This hair dye is ok, I have mousy-coloured hair and it turned it a bit more of a copper colour than blonde. Still smells of the dye mix after several washes and it's dried it out a bit, wouldn't use it again but I appreciate it may have coloured more successfully if my hair were lighter to start with. Easy to apply and even coverage.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hasn't covered grey and now turned orange

I had uncoloured, medium ashy blonde hair and wanted to cover greys without doing a permanent at home colour. Not only has it not covered any greys, it has turned my hair an orange tone - not ashy at all. A huge disappointment.

No, I do not recommend this product.

What a rich, luxurious colour this dye gave my hair. Final shade is very natural and not at all like your usual box colour. My hair felt softer and thoroughly conditioned afterwards too.

I love this colour and the final results were what I expected. Very easy to use and easy to follow instructions too. The products smelt nice, unlike other brands I’ve used before and after numerous washes my colour still looks fresh, shiny and bright. Very happy!

This is absolutely brilliant! Its revived my hair back to this gorgeous sun kissed hair without the damage from the uv rays. It’s the perfect product to brighten your hair up from the winter blues and what’s better is that it hasn’t got the nasty chemicals a permanent dye would have.

Yes, I recommend this product.
