Advantages: cheap, easy to use Disadvantages: can be messy!
'm also not sure why I decided to use Loreal Casting to do so, but I did, and I'm really glad of it.
This was the first brand of dye that I used, and I was really pleased with the results. I have since tried other brands - Garnier Nutrisse and I think one by Wella - but I've always came back to this brand, as I find it's the easiest to use and gives the best and longest lasting results.
~~About the dye~~
This hair dye is a tone on tone gel colourant and contains no ammonia.
It promises to give Natural looking colour and ultra-shiny highlights.
This will cover first greys
The box states that this will last up to 6 weeks with no visible roots, but I have found it to last something nearer to 10 weeks.
~~Packaging and contents~~
This comes in a pink box which is very similar to the one pictured, although I believe the one shown ...
Advantages: Easy to use, covers grey and dodgy highlights, lasting effect Disadvantages: Sensitive scalps take care
At nearly six pounds, this isn't the cheapest hair dye out there but it's incredibly easy to use and virtually mess-free. Also, it works.
After a disasterous highlighting adventure, i used Casting Creme Gloss in Mahogany to cover up the damage. I have used this product (same colour) in the past, and it covers greys perfectly. I was impressed with the way it also covered up my unwanted highlights. They still show through a little bit, but more as tasteful lowlights as opposed to the brassy orange streaks i had before.
Casting Creme Gloss is easy to use. You basically mix two bottles together and shake. The manufacturers have even made a handy slit in the box so that you can wedge your bottle of mixture in it and it will stand upright. Now, that's really thoughtful!
The mahogany shade came out on my medium-dark brown ...
Advantages: Lovely hair colour, shimmery, smooth. Conditioning. Disadvantages: Application is a little annoying, price.
-permanent line of L'Oreal casting crème as I only ever dye my hair semi-permanently as I am too scared of something going wrong and me hating my hair forever. As my hair is so long (it would take probably 5 years to grow the colour out! Eeek!)
since Ciao doesn't have a separate product for semi and permanent this is why my review is in this category. Please don't mistake it for permanent, in fact, I'm not even sure you can get excellence crème in permanent; you'll have to do some snooping! I bought this product at boots and it's normally £6.98, which I think is a little pricey for a semi-permanent hair colour but it was a pound of so I got it for £5.98. To be honest, I think it's still worth the money and I will go into why in a while.
