FAQs
How long does L'Oréal Paris Casting Creme Gloss color typically last?
This semi-permanent hair color generally lasts up to 28 shampoos. The duration can vary based on your hair's condition, porosity, and how frequently you wash it.
Will this product cover gray hair?
Casting Creme Gloss offers optimal gray coverage for up to 70% gray hair, blending grays away for a natural-looking result. It's not designed for 100% opaque gray coverage like permanent dyes.
Do I need to perform a patch test before every application?
Yes, it is crucial to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Allergies can develop suddenly.
Can I use this hair dye if I have recently permed or straightened my hair?
It's recommended to wait at least two weeks after perming or straightening your hair before applying Casting Creme Gloss. Always perform a strand test first.
What's the difference between Casting Creme Gloss and a permanent hair dye?
Casting Creme Gloss is a semi-permanent, ammonia-free formula that gradually fades over time, enhancing your natural color with shine. Permanent dyes contain ammonia and peroxide to lift cuticles and deposit color more deeply, resulting in a longer-lasting, more opaque color that grows out rather than fades.
What should I do if I get the dye on my skin or clothes?
If dye gets on your skin, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth or a small amount of soap and water. For clothes, rinse immediately with cold water and treat with a stain remover as soon as possible.
How often can I use Casting Creme Gloss?
You can reapply the color once the previous application has faded, typically after 4-6 weeks or 28 shampoos. Always perform a new patch test before each application.
Troubleshooting
Color did not turn out as expected or is too dark/light.
Ensure you performed a strand test to predict the outcome. Original hair color significantly impacts the final result. If too dark, it will gradually fade. If too light or not vibrant enough, you might have left it on for too short a time, or your hair might be resistant. Wait at least 2 weeks before re-applying a color gloss, and always re-do the patch test.
Experiencing scalp itching or irritation after application.
This highlights the importance of the mandatory 48-hour patch test. If irritation occurs, rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly with cool water immediately. Discontinue use. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.
The Casting Creme Gloss is designed to be gentle. Ensure you used the provided conditioner, which is formulated to nourish hair post-color. For ongoing dryness, incorporate a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine once a week.
Color faded too quickly.
Several factors can cause quick fading: frequent washing, using non-color-safe shampoos, excessive sun exposure, or heat styling without protection. Use color-preserving products and limit exposure to these elements. The color is semi-permanent and designed to fade over 28 shampoos.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Read Instructions: Always read the entire instruction leaflet enclosed in the box before you begin.
Patch Test (Mandatory): Perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the unmixed colorant to a clean patch of skin, usually behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or disturb this area. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
Strand Test: For best results and to predict the exact color outcome, perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair. This helps determine the optimal development time for your hair type.
Gather Supplies: You will need gloves (provided), an old towel, a timer, and possibly petroleum jelly to protect your hairline.
Hair Condition: Apply to dry, unwashed hair. This allows the natural oils in your hair to protect your scalp during coloring.
Compatibility
Age Group: Suitable for adults.
Hair Types: Compatible with most hair types. Results may vary depending on your natural hair color, texture, and previous treatments.
Previous Treatments: Can generally be used on previously colored or permed hair, but always perform a strand test first. Not recommended for very recently permed, relaxed, or straightened hair (wait at least two weeks).
Not Recommended For: Individuals with a sensitive, irritated, or damaged scalp, or anyone who has experienced a reaction to a temporary "black henna" tattoo in the past.
Product Care & Maintenance
Post-Color Care: Use the conditioning treatment provided in the kit immediately after rinsing the dye.
Color Longevity: To prolong color vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessively hot water when washing your hair.
Washing Frequency: Minimize daily washing; consider dry shampoo between washes if needed.
Heat Styling: Use heat protectant sprays when styling with heat tools, as excessive heat can cause color to fade faster.
Sun Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade hair color. Consider using UV protection for your hair or wearing a hat.
