My Experience With L’Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Hair Color
In the spur of the moment, I decided to color my hair. I had dark brown hair and wasn’t keen on going all-out with a radical change, so I decided on Burgundy just to get that tinge of color. Also, I was more attracted to the L’Oreal Casting Creme Gloss because it’s an ammonia-free product. This is my experience with it and here’s how it works.
Easy To Mix And Apply – Check!
The L’Oreal Casting Creme Gloss is incredibly easy to use. I followed the steps in the instruction leaflet and mixed the dye. The texture of the dye was very glossy, and it didn’t drip. It also smelled decent. What I observed was this hair color penetrates deeply into the hair while nourishing and conditioning each strand. It also covers every gray strand with much ease. I saw rich tones through my hair, and it looked so natural.
Easy To Remove – Check!
In case you get the color on your skin, this does not leave a horrid stain – just a soapy cloth or a wet wipe efficiently removes the color. This is a major bonus for all the clumsy women out there. However, the overall experience of application is mess-free and simple.
Gorgeous Color – Check!
After 20 minutes or so I rinsed my hair and used the conditioner that came along with the color. It seals in the intense shine and gloss. I was left with soft, smooth, and shiny hair. The color also added a lot of dimension to my hair and made it look a whole lot livelier and vibrant.
Even if you’re a beginner, this is something you can work with. It’s ideal for people who are sensitive to chemicals, and it does not have that awful chemical-like smell to it.
