FAQs

How long does L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss 316 Prune color last?

The color is semi-permanent and typically lasts for up to 28 washes, fading gradually with each shampoo.

Is this hair dye ammonia-free?

Yes, L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss 316 Prune is formulated without ammonia, making it kinder to your hair and scalp, and free from the strong chemical smell.

Can this product cover grey hair?

Yes, this hair dye is designed to effectively blend away grey hairs, providing a natural-looking coverage.

How long does the application process take?

The entire application process, from mixing to rinsing, takes less than 30 minutes, excluding the 48-hour patch test.

Do I need to do a patch test before using this dye?

Yes, it is crucial to perform a patch test 48 hours before every use, even if you have used hair dyes before, to check for potential allergic reactions.

Can I use this on previously colored hair?

Yes, it can be used on previously colored hair. However, the final shade may vary depending on your current hair color and its condition. Always refer to the instructions for specific guidance.

Will this dye damage my hair?

The ammonia-free formula is designed to be gentler on your hair, leaving it touchable and smooth with a healthy aesthetic, minimizing damage commonly associated with permanent dyes.

Troubleshooting

Color is not vibrant enough or did not take well.

Ensure you followed the recommended development time precisely. Hair porosity and initial hair color can affect the final result; very dark hair may show less vibrancy without pre-lightening (not recommended for this product). Ensure thorough mixing of the developer and colorant.

Uneven color result after application.

This often happens if the product wasn't applied evenly or hair was not saturated sufficiently. Section your hair meticulously before application and ensure uniform distribution of the dye, especially if your hair is thick.

Scalp or skin irritation after use.

This highlights the critical importance of the 48-hour patch test. If you experience irritation during or after application, rinse immediately and discontinue use. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Never skip the patch test.

Color seems to fade faster than 28 washes.

Factors like frequent washing, use of harsh shampoos (e.g., clarifying or anti-dandruff), excessive sun exposure, or swimming in chlorinated water can accelerate fading. Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners and protect hair from harsh elements.

Product spilled or stained surfaces.

Act quickly. Rinse with water immediately. For stubborn stains, specialized stain removers for hair dye may be needed. Always cover surrounding surfaces and wear protective clothing during application to prevent spills.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Setting up the L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss 316 Prune is straightforward, but crucial steps must be followed for optimal results and safety:

Patch Test: Essential step. Apply a small amount of product to a discreet area of skin 48 hours before full application to check for allergic reactions. Refer to the instruction leaflet for detailed guidance.
Gather Supplies: Ensure you have an old towel to protect surfaces and clothing, and the included gloves.
Mix Carefully: Combine the coloring cream and developer precisely as instructed in the provided leaflet.
Immediate Use: Apply the mixture promptly after mixing to ensure best results.

Compatibility:

Hair Types: This product is designed for all types of hair, making it versatile for various textures and conditions.
Grey Hair: It effectively blends away grey hair, offering a natural-looking coverage rather than a stark block color.

Care:

Fading: The color is semi-permanent and typically lasts for up to 28 washes. The color will gradually fade with each shampoo.
Maintenance: To maintain the vibrancy of the plum tone, consider using color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Reapply when the color has faded to your liking, typically after 28 washes.
Ingredient Information: Ingredients may vary slightly depending on the specific shade. Always refer to the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date ingredient list.
