L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

High quality and effective box color that's so easily applied. NO MESS NO FUSS product.
Leaves behind rich deep long lasting color .
Love that amount of shine it leaves behind and how healthy it makes my hair look .

Glorious color that lasts quite long worth every penny

Beautiful gorgeous color is just a box away. I am amazed at how my hair transformed into a shiny and beautiful chestnut brown and the fact that it feels so soft and healthy . I usually cannot stand the smell of hair dyes but this smells quite pleasant. I will continue using this brand and so keen on trying the different shades.

I love using this for my hair. it doesnt drip and it lasts very long. and the smell is not unpleasant. works wonders for my hair!

great hair color with a nice range of shades! simple and very effective for the price! i always color my hair myself and this range is one of the best i have tried! it gives such a healthy shiny color to the hair

This product is definitely the one for me. I have been looking for something without ammonia which will cover my grey hair. I love the colours in this range as I enjoy experimenting with colours, as being grey, I can virtually become any colour I like. Really enjoyed making a choice.

I loved this colour! My hair is naturally light brown so it went a little lighter than the colour on the box. Made my hair really shinny and didn't dry it out or damage it. It's two months later and the colour is almost completely gone, actually wish this colour was permanent!

I must say that I was very impressed with this colour. I usually colour my hair a brown hue but the blackcurrant really stands out. I have natural black hair so the blackcurrant did not look very bold. although I do love that it gave my hair a plum hue. I love this colour and so do my colleagues who have noticed and given me great comments. The application is quiet easy and unlike most hairdyes it is non-drip. I left the hairdye on for more than the recommended 20 minutes because of my indian origin and hair colour seems to somehow not catch very quickly.

Hi BB’s

I unfortunately had an unforeseen trip out of the city this month so my sister stepped in again very willingly to review this amazing product. I did however inspect the product beforehand and here’s my little evaluation:

Opening the box I was greeted with a delicious burst of fragrance and the packaging is sleek and eye-catching , gets a 10/10 from me. The step-by-step guide was easy to read and understand. Here forth is my sisters review:

• Loved the scent
• Application was quick, easy and mess-free
• The pointed squeezy applicator perfect for precision
• Hair felt silky, soft and healthy
• Enough conditioner to last 2 washes

Other benefits:

• No ammonia
• Covers Grey
• Colour lasts 28 washes
• 20min process time

The only downside was the gloves kept slipping off, would have been more efficient if it had an elastic band round the wrist.

Judging from my sisters experience next time I colour my hair I’ll be reaching for L’Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss

Ok so I have been dying my hair since high school and now at the age of 25 i no longer follow the most recent trends, I tend to dye my hair according to the seasons. So darker for Autumn/Winter and lighter for Spring/Summer. I was super excited to be given the chance to try a L'Oreal hair dye as its not the brand I would usually pick but I must say I am quite impressed with this product. I'm mostly impressed with how my hair feels after I used the product. It does not feel damaged at all- its silky soft to the touch. The colour pay off is not what I expected it to be- when i mixed the dye it was so purple it scared me! But I like that its made my hair nice and dark for the remainder of the winter season and I am now definitely going to try L'Oreal when its time to go lighter for summer.

I was excited to get the plum... I love wacky hair but I must say I was a bit disappointed in the colour. Its not as plummy as I would like. Inside (as you can see on the pics) you can hardly see the plum and in full sun it has more or a reddish purple tone to it instead of ... you know, purple.
I had dark dye in my hair which may have also altered the outcome.

Anyhow, Apart from the specific colour the product itself was amazing.

Things I loved:

Was very impressed with the innovation of screwing your colour crème tube into the developer bottle and then squeezing. It in is so cool. It eliminates the element of aim (and some spillage) since you don't have to aim & squeeze to get it all into the tiny hole of the mixing bottle... like with other box dyes.

There is a lot of dye... It was more than enough to cover my shoulder length hair.
(I as trying the ombre effect on my hair and tried to apply a diluted mix to my roots which didn’t have much effect. But that was my experiment... and leaves me with more experimenting to do, and a tale for another day.)

The colouring time is only 20 minutes!! It cuts the usual time in half ... which saves me from sitting in a tiny towel on a freezing winter's ever for too long.

It is indeed non drip... runny enough to get through your hair easily but thick enough not to splatter everywhere.

May hair looks glossy and full and the royal jelly conditioner is so amazing I wish they would sell it separately. It smells so good and makes my hair shiny and pretty! ;-)

Things I love less....

I whish L'Oreal would bring out very vivid colours I mean like... COLOURS... Think, Dark PURPLE instead of brown-with-a purple-tone.

I wish they were cheaper! :-( I tend to gravitate towards the cheaper hair dyes these days and still get good results! It also allows me to experiment and change without breaking the bank.

The bottom line is however this: If money was no issue and they had the colour that tickled my fancy that week, I wont hesitate to buy this product again.
I really really liked working with it and its better than most of others out there in the same price bracket.

Hi Everyone

Before I start the review, I must apologise to the BB community and team for this review being sooo late. I was ill, hubby was ill and tons of work pressures.

Nevertheless, better late than never, thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this incredible product.

Here goes:

I have not dyed my hair in more than a year and wanted to try a vibrant, new, outrageous colour. A change is alwasy good.

Here is what I received in the pack from BB:

1 tube of no ammonia creme colourant
1 tube of developer
1 tip applicator
shine enhancing conditioner with royal jelly and
1 pair of professional cloves plus instruction leaflet.

Now, I must stress the importance of doing a skin allergy test before colouring hair. They really emphasize this on the instruction leaflet by applying the product to a place like behind your ear and leaving unwashed for 48 hours. If no reaction then, colour away! and....

never ever use the product to dye eyelashes or brows which I have seen some people do. This is a NO NO.


My method:
Change clothes; wear an old T-shirt or over coat that has been used. Make sure you have old towels on hand as well as lots and lots of newspapers to stand on and colour hair as the process can be quite messy. I remember the last time I coloured my hair, the bathroom was a huge mess that hubby nearly had a fit, so make sure you also clean up afterwards.


The instruction leaflet has clear guidelines on how to mix the colour by unscrewing the top of the developer tube, squeezing the colour into the tube and closing the tube with the applicator tip. Shake well before use!

Now I am bit of an amateur hair colourist so I followed the instructions to the T. There are 2 clear methods of colouring, either if hair is coloured or not coloured. My hair is already coloured so I followed the former approach. I wet my hair, slightly towel dried and started applying the colour at the roots after dividing hair into smaller sections. Wow, the product was cold and left a tingly feeling on my scalp. I massaged the colour into my scalp, waited 15 minutes before applying the mixture to the rest of the hair.

Once set, I washed off thoroughly and then applied some royal jelly conditioning on for 2 minutes.


and Voila, hair colouring done!


I just love my new colour, so rich, so vibrant, full of colour and full of life.

Mad about Mahogany.


Finally, there are some colour enhancing and protecting tips:

Always use a colour protect shampoo and conditioner.


Colour wonderful

I received the L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss Light Brown 600 about two days after the Beauty Bulletin team emailed me. I dyed my hair that very night. The instructions are easy to understand and are identical to those you would find in a Garnier hair dye box. I was glad that while dying my hair it didn't start to burn as I often find happens when I dye my hair. The results were pretty good and made my hair a tad darker, nothing too hectic as this was the colour I opted for. My hair was also really shiny and soft after I dried it and I especially love the scent of my hair after it has been freshly dyed. Everyone noticed I dyed my hair, so that's a good way to know your dye job was successful!

I would like to thank the Beauty Bulletin team as well as L'Oreal for giving me the opportunity to review the product~

I was very excited to make a change to my natural mouse coloured hair. I am a very ashy blonde and the light brown was just a shade darker than my natural colour.

I do like the fact that there is no amonia in this product! It did come into contact with my clothes and washed out easily.On the box and in the pamphlet enclosed, this product promises to give you glossy and soft hair results after colour. However, after colouring my hair and in the weeks that followed, my hair was never glossy and not really soft. It came out a bit dry, even after using the enclosed conditioner.

I am very happy with the colour, it looks totally natural! I even received multiple compliments from people who have never seen me before saying that my hair colour is so beautiful (believing that it is natural)!

The instructions and the overall use of the product was very easy! I do appreciate the perforated part in the box that allows you to put the bottle in. It makes the whole process much easier. It also did not take me very long to do the colouring and I have quite long hair.

The pictures attached to this review shows my whole transformation. Overall I am very happy with the colour that came out, it does not look fake at all. The only thing that did bother me is how dry my hair was afterwards. It took about 3 weeks for my hair to return to normal again. I have curly hair and therefore need more moisture in my hair. I think this product takes most of that moisture out.

I must say, having tried other brands before, I am more satisfied by this one and will use it again. I will however just adjust my conditioning routine.

L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss.


Firstly thank you to Beauty Bulletin for the opportunity to review, L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss.


I liked that the box can be used to help with the mixing process. This made mixing quick and easy, with no mess.

The tip applicator makes it easy to apply. I loved that the formula is non-drip.
Application was quick and easy with no mess… I absolutely loved the smell so fresh and fruity…

The conditioner also had a nice smell to it. It left my hair smelling fresh, soft and silky smooth.

My dull brown hair is gone.

After L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss. I’m left with soft and silky, smooth black hair.

If you want a good hair day (DYE)!!! Choose L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss…

I ‘m definitely getting me some more. L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss

Ok this has been my first experience with the colour mahogany and I must say it looks really cool,my first thoughts about the product was the contents,they had a good nice fitting pair of gloves in not those huge ones that makes you look like youre about to pack polony they were really comfortable and didnt tear easily and the cute bottle of after colour conditioner which I have 4 uses of.My hair is always flat and dull and is now in the awkward phase of growing out which means hairbands and clips were my favourite friends until I got my box of casting creme gloss in mahogany which is a really rich red brown colour.I got my husband to trim my hair straight and then coloured it,the whole process was so easy.

The activator in the whitish bottle has an easy screw off cap that you snap off then you squeeze the colourant in and shake until colour is blended well.The next is to pop on your gloves and prepare your hair for the colourant by just dampening it,I used a spray bottle to lightly dampen the hair then applied my colourant.The creme is nice and thick but not at all goopy which made it really mess free and run free which meant I could carry on with what I was doing at home without a dripping mess and my bathroom was stain free for a change and for us girls who have no extra hands to help hold the bottle the box has a perforated section that you tear out then you can place your bottle colourant upright inside the box while you part your next section of hair.

I found the colour to be vibrant and shiny and it coverd those early sneaky greys.So all in all a great quality product that has thought of everything a women needs want in a hair colour with ingredients thag vitalise hour hair in every way possible.

I love my new hair!!

I knew that I wouldn't be able to apply the color neatly myself so I asked my friend to help me. The process was a breaze. NO MESS!!

My hair looks shiny and healthy.

I would recommend this product for anyone. It truely is Salon Quality!!

Thank you very much for picking me to try out the black current color. I received the product very fast. Was very excited to open it. It was a bit messy to apply, left my face neck and ears bright red, but with a bit of a scrub it came off. The color looked different going on than the end product. I am very satisfied with the result. Keep getting great compliments everyday, and people ask what I used. With a proud reply I tell them about the product. The color shows at its best in the sun and natural light.
Thank you once again for picking me.
Regards Beautydiva

This is my very first post on BB, and I'm super excited. L'oreal and BB THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSFORMATION:-)
I have a natural hair colour of dark brown, well it similar to mud, not the best colour to have, and so I am always keen to cover it up in any way possible. Four months ago, I got tired of my hair and needed a change, so I decided to get some highlights, however highlights after a few months and many washes lose their beauty, and also tend to dry out your hair, so when I got this awesome opportunity to try out L'oreal, if decided I have nothing to lose. So I have documented each process, my hair before LICORICE, my hair while being transformed and the results:-)
During the Dying process:

And..... after ... LICORICE LOVE!!!

Yes, I know it's amazing, glossy, healthy, amazing smell, no drips and mess - simple for our busy lifestyles, especially if you have no time to sit at a salon! I have tried other brands, but this seems to tick all the boxes, and just out of interest, I checked out the price, and ladies, it totally affordable! as they say.. Once you go black, you never go back, I mean Licorice!

xoxo

Casting Creme Gloss is one of my fav lines to try out when doing an at home colour job so thank 7 to bb for selecting me to be apart of the review club :)

My hair was auburn brown, a warm reddish brown in the sun, and dark brown in doors, I loved the colour, but felt it was time for a change, and in order to do that, I selected to go Blue Black!!

I've been dying to try this colour out for ages, but was afraid that the black would be to harsh against my fair skin, im so happy that i was totally wrong! My hair looks amazing!!!

I love the castings range as I feel there is more product in it than any of the othe L'Oreal lines, I usually need 2 boxes to colour my hair, but with Castings I only need 1 box!

I love the packaging, the bix doubles up as a tube holder so thats convenient! It contains the standard gloves, hair colourant, activator, instruction pamphlet and the amazing xonditioner for after use.

I have a confession to make, i never do my own hair, my lovely mom does lol. The instructions on the pamphlet are easy to follow from prep, mixing and application instructions, right through to conditioner application. Please see pics attached for contents and application process!

I wetted my hair, towel dried, brushed out and then sat in the hot seat. My mom then proceeded to section my hair and apply the colour solution and worked through feom root to tip. Once the whole process was done, i waited out the proper developing time - duting this time, i watched my hair literally turn blue (so imagine my excitement!!!)

Once rinsed, I applied the devine smelling conditioner, waited about 5 minutes, there after i rinsed.

before and after pics are taken almost 2 weeks apart while in the car and in the sun :) i only realised now that i wore the same dress haha...

The result? My hair was left gorgeous, glossy and as soft as a baby's bottem. My hair looks like a black velvety curtain with the slightest hint if a blue tint which is only visible in tue sun. I have to admit, I was expecting the blue tint to be more pronunced, but unfortunately it is not and only visible in the sun.

Overall I am extremely hapoy with my new mini make over, and my hubby loves it too! Thanx BB and L'Oreal for adding some glam to my hair!

I was so excited to be chosen to review the L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss. I was given the Darkest Brown shade, which came just in time because my hair was due for a recolour!

I put on an old t-shirt, slipped on the supplied gloves, shook up the potion according to the simple instructions found in the box and stood in front of the mirror ready to apply the dye to my sad looking faded hair.

The application process wasn’t bad at all; I managed to cover my long hair sufficiently with the product supplied, without creating too much mess along the way. Normally my walls are splattered with dark brown stains, but this wasn’t the case in this situation.

There was no itching during the waiting period, so I think it was gentler on my hair than other dyes. The smell was definitely less ammonia-smelling because my eyes weren’t watering and I didn’t even have to open a window. Go L’Oreal!

I rinsed it off after the required time and used the delicious (and I mean DELICIOUS) smelling conditioner and then ran to blow dry my hair.

I promise I am not lying when I say that my hair felt softer and more glamorous than ever before! I absolutely LOVED the dark colour and the shine that went with it.

That night I went out and all my friends told me how gorgeous my hair looks. I told them all if they ever want a good quality hair dye that won’t leave your hair dry and damaged, they should use L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss.

Two weeks down the line and my hair is still as dark, shiny and healthy as it was on day one. Thumbs up big time for this product! I love it!

Firstly thanks to the BB team for affording me the opportunity to try this product. This is the best product that I have tested. I am going to say up front that I am definitely going to be using this product regularly!

I have had my hair colored before many years ago, but have not done so again as I was not happy with the result. I am now getting a few grey hairs, (just a few) and this product was a welcome gift to me. I have long dark brown hair that is layered to my bottom. The texture is thick and smooth but moderately damaged and I’ve noticed discoloration at the ends. I used the dye in color – black current. The packaging is nice and very easy to understand. The products are well packaged and I had no spillage or mess when mixing the colors. Application took a lot longer than I had anticipated, (there’s a lot of hair) but the crème was not to runny and was easy to get through my hair.

The conditioner that comes with the package is AMAZING! My hair has never looked better. I cannot even remember the last time my hair has been this shiny, not to mention soft. I was not sure of whether or not the color had caught on my hair after washing but the next day I really noticed the difference. Two weeks now and my hair is still glossy and the color is still quite vivid. I use the dove color therapy conditioner after washing my hair. I wash about three times a week. My only complaint is the run-off on my white towels, but that’s not a train smash.

This product is really great if you have not coloured your hair before. The instructions are clear and easy to use and the payoff speaks for itself.

Hey Ladies,

Firstly i am ashamed to admit i cancelled a hair appointment to be able to try out my new tester but i am totally satisfied with the results.

I must also admit that i am one of those gals that has hair dye every where except actually on my grey hairs and roots.(kitchen counters, bathroom doors ...yes please...and thank you)

Packaging/container: super impressed with the easily used applicator tube and it did seem like that was just so much more hair dye in this tube.

Color: I was a bit disturbed with the color as it started to develop, this stuff was like chilli red and i was so stressed about how i was going to get it off my sculp. But loved it once I had dried my hair as it was so rich and 2 weeks down the line, it still is!!

Clean up: My husband can usually tell when i have died my hair at home due to debris and off course ...the war paint all over my face. Loreal - I am so super pleased and impressed with this product....it just came off with a cotton pad and water???? (shut the front door - how did you do this?). There was not even evidence on the gloves as a hint to what color i had put on my hair after rinsing my hair off.

I will definitely recommend this to anyone who dyes their hair at home as this is definitely something you can use for long lasting, vibrant color and you can even dye it the same day within an hour of leaving the house, as you dont need to worry about a few washes to tone down the color of your fore-head.

Hello Ladies!

I was sent the L'Oreal Mahoganny Casting Creme Gloss to review and I was completely pleased and extremely satisfied with the outcome!

I have never had such a quick and easy hair dying experience before. The instructions were easy to follow and the tube dye means no drips and no mess! (If only I'd used this product sooner. I'd DEFINITELY have a lot less stained towels and t-shirts thats for sure!)

I have received many compliments on my hair, people that I dont even know commented on how glossy my hair looks and how vibrant the colour is! I am overjoyed with the result and its safe to say I am not using any other hair dying product after this one (and I have used many)

This product is amazing. I have used a few hair dyes out on the market, but this one was really good!
There are clear instructions on how to use the product, there is enough product to use in the bottles and the dye actually doesn't smell too bad, normally alot of dyes leaves your hair feeling very dry, however, the treatment with this dye makes your hair feel amazing and silky :)

The colour looks amazing and my hair looks and feels amazing!
Very happy that I was able to use this product and review this product :)

A great natural dark brown colour, easy to apply and didn't fade with washing. It covered my few grey hairs completely and left my hair feeling moisturized and glossy. It gives a lovely natural finish too. This line is my dye of choice and is topped off with a yummy fruity-like fragrance. I will continue using and recommending this product. Just fantastic! And all 'because I'm worth it'...

Please find more images, as I had problems uploading more than 2 images earlier.

I have NEVER dyed my hair! I've always had, what I like to call, virgin hair. I am rather quickly turning all shades of grey at the tender age of 27, and thought it was time to break out of my comfort zone and give this a try.

I received L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss in Ebony Black. For two weeks it sat on my bookshelf, staring at me, like that unfinished novel of Summer 2012. I took the leap on Saturday evening (9th August) - This day, Women's Day was all about me after all. My darling husband assisted me and we read the instructions carefully, at least 6 times :) You can never be too safe.

I sat back, took a deep breathe, and waved those short, untamed, grey streaks of wisdom goodbye. 20 mins felt like forever, and the black stains on the towel which covered my shoulders were enough to freak me out.

After the rinsing, conditioning, and rinsing again, I walked past mirrors quite quickly, too scared to take a peak, but at the same time, glancing from the corner of my eye LOL I blow-dried my hair, and there it was... NO MORE GREYS! At least that was the first thing I noticed. Then I discovered the smell, a clean, lightly fragranced 'just been to the hair salon' whiff. After way too much excitement, I got some rest and flat ironed my hair in the morning.

I couldn't explain it even if I tried, also, considering I write for a living :)

I loved this product, and would do this again in the near future. I also loved the fact that even though the towel looked completely destroyed, it washed right out while it accompanied me in the shower. Only the images will do justice. All I can say is.... I'm glossed like a boss :)

I was so excited to receive this product to try, not only did I really need a change, but my hair had not been dyed in 3 months! Here are my comments on the product:
1. Appealing and easy to use bottles and packaging.
2. The amount of product is ample to dye a whole head of long hair with sufficient cover,that I love! I used to hate having to buy 2 boxes of colour just to reach the tips of my hair!
3. The chemicals did not burn or make my scalp tingly even after leaving it on for quite long. This is because it contains no ammonia ... that stuff that makes you choke each time you colour your hair.
4. No drip and it really covered my few greys and different hair colours evenly.
5. Rinsing it out was no problem, the treatment conditioner comes in a lovely bottle with enough for at least 2 more washes, saves on my conditioner!
6. The only negative I found was that although the colour smelt wonderful, the conditioner smelts like wet carpet! Not very appealing smell left on one's hair.
7. I was left with shiny glossy beautifully coloured hair and I am very happy with this product. I have gotten alot of compliments and will use it again for sure.
Thanks again BB it was like an answer to my wishlist!

My First time video review- forgive me I'm new at uploading reviews.

This is a continuation from my review below.

Here's the link to my video- wanted to be a little creative - hope you like it:)

http://www.magisto.com/album/video/eyo9QUZVCAF9JCcPYnZLAXA

First and foremost, thank you BB for allowing me this amazing opportunity to review the L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss in Ebony Black!

I've battled with the "grays" ever since i turned 10- yes ladies, 10! Went through high school being teased and laughed at. I've used many different brands of hair colour before but as soon as I washed the colour out, the grays were still there. And not to mention how dry and brittle it made my hair - it even smelt like it was burning at times!

So you can imagine how amped I was to wash, dry and set my hair to find that all my grays were completely covered! I was so impressed and happy to say that i have luscious shiny black hair making me look amazing and feel oh-so-confident!

The conditioner hair-treatment that comes in the box, is my new best friend. After washing the colour off - i used less that half a palm full and WOW! My hair was so silky and soft, I was amazed even the dry brittle ends! That we have the ammonia-free colour to thank for.

I look 20 again and not like a drab 29-year old.I have my gorgeous black hair and rocking bold red lips - you've made me feel pretty again :)

This is an absolute winner for me, I'm glad I've found the perfect brand to keep me and my hair beautiful - L'Oreal :)

Thank you BB for allowing me to experience this new product. My experience before colour was boring dull but I was transformed in just 20+ mins after applying my berry red 565. My hair has this glossy soft touch. It looks healthy and intensely conditioned. It blend away greys like it was never there . I will never go back to any other brands. Thanks u L'Oréal my hair feels awesome.

I buy this colour over and over more so wen its on special! And i loved using this colour! Bearing in mind that my hair is really dark to appearing almost black it adds deep mahogany reflects in my hair and leaves me with incredibly glossy shimmering mirror like shine in my hair and hair that's touchably soft n satiny! It washes out after a 19 to 24 washes and seems to function as a colour gloss on my hair!

The L’Oreal Casting Creme gloss colour taht I used was called Chocolate Brownie. How yummy! I must however say that it was more like a “red velvet cupcake” so if you are not a fan of having red in your hair, then I would use a different colour. I however LOVE the colour me hair turned out.

Bearing in mind that I had an ombre (dark roots and blonde tips) the colour took amazingly well.

I love a product with simple, easy to follow instructions and that is exactly what came with this product.
The product was so easy to use with what I like to call a “fool proof” application.

After using this product my hair feels nourished and the colour is rich and glossy.
The conditioner you receive with it is enriched with Royal Jelly and leaves your hair silky smooth. It also has a gorgeous delicate fragrance.

Overall I would definitely use this product again!

Iove this cos it washes out subtley and gradually! On my dark hair there's not an overt difference! I use it to ease the greys at my temples which translate into subtle lowlights ! Mostly this colour gives my naturally dark brown hair warmth, incredible softness and shimmering glossy shine ! No other hair colour does this for me! For me this is like a colour mask! It's a little more pricey than other brands but a true pleasure to use with predictable reliable results!

I purchased this dye in 454 Chocolate brownie thinking it was the perfect shade of 'chocolate' brown that I am looking for. To start off my hair color was a warm light brown with natural red undertones and usually takes to dye quite nicely, esp that this was approx 1 shade darker than the color that i was at the time. The packaging is fairly average and I find the applicator tube to be annoying as you can't seems to squeeze the remainder of the product out from the corners. That being said, I do find that a greater deal of solution is given with this line, as usually I need 2 boxes to color my entire head, with this though, I only needed one and still had a bit to spare which was great. The color has a pleasant fruity smell, nothing over powering and this makes it a pleasure to use. The end result.... after washing off the color and conditioner that was supplied, i proceeded to dry my hair and then flat iron. Various factors got my attentions. A) My hair was a deep red almost burgundy color, quite dark and NOTHING as showed on the box. b) it was glossy and shining like no-one's business, soft, and very sleek. I wasn't expecting the color, so it was a huge surprise to me, and took some getting use to, but now im okay with it (I will be going back to Garnier frosted chestnut as soon as possible!), and I think the glossy bit can be attributed to the awesome casting conditioner given along with the dye. All in all, a good dye, but it doesn't deliver accurate color results which is actually a disappointment for me. 2 and a half weeks later and the color is as vibrant as before even though its meant to fade with each wash as its classified as a semi perm color - its seems more of a permanent color to me, but guess only time will tell.

When it comes to hair dyes, this is one of the better ones on the market. I really like the drip-free formula and the applicator tool which prevents a mess. It leaves hair looking healthy and natural as opposed to colour treated.

My favourite hair dye! I change my haircolour every few months and I always do it at home using this amazing hair colour! leaves my hair feeling better than it originally was!

I refuse to use any other hair dye! Have been loyal to this product for the past 10 years!
