FAQs
Is this hair dye permanent?
No, L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss is a semi-permanent hair dye that lasts up to 28 washes. It gradually fades without leaving harsh root lines.
Can I use this product if I have grey hair?
Yes, this formula is designed to blend away greys with shimmering tones, providing natural-looking coverage rather than opaque grey coverage.
Do I need to do a patch test?
Yes, it is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each application, even if you have used hair colorants before. This helps prevent potential allergic reactions.
How many applications does one pack contain?
Each pack of L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss is designed for one complete application.
What should I do if the color gets on my skin?
Immediately wipe off any color that gets on your skin with a damp cloth or a dedicated color-remover wipe. For best results, apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around your hairline before application.
Can I use this on previously colored hair?
Yes, it can be used on previously colored hair, but always perform a strand test first to predict the final color result, as it can vary based on your existing hair color.
Troubleshooting
Color didn't last long
Ensure you followed the development time precisely. Use color-safe hair products and avoid excessive washing or heat styling, which can accelerate fading.
Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring
Always use the included conditioning treatment. For very dry hair, consider a deep conditioning treatment a few days after coloring. Ensure you performed a strand test and followed instructions to avoid over-processing.
Color is too dark or uneven
Semi-permanent colors tend to fade. With subsequent washes, the color may lighten. For unevenness, ensure thorough and even application during the coloring process.
Scalp irritation or itching
If you experience severe irritation, rinse immediately and discontinue use. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before application to identify potential allergic reactions.
