Step 2 : After shaking the bottle, the color of the mixture darkens. At this point, you need to use a pair of scissors to cut the tip. The developed hair color is now ready to use! Just squeeze the bottle and the cream color will come out from the nozzle tip.Step 3 : Damp your hair, just slightly wet the hair to allow the color to spread well. Since my mom is prone to coloring, I followed the instructions on the leaflet for colored hair.
I applied the hair color on the roots first and let it sit for 25 minutes. If you have no greys/whites, you only need to keep it for 15 minutes. After that, apply the color along the lengths of your hair and let it sit for another 5 minutes.Tip : Always use the gloves while applying the color or your fingers/nails will stain a bit. Also apply some cream or vaseline on the skin near the hairline to prevent getting any color stains on the skin.

Step 4 : When its time to wash off the color, first use some lukewarm water to massage the color all along the hair to make sure the color is distributed evenly. Keep it for another 2-3 minutes and then start rinsing out the color with lukewarm water. Shampoo as usual and then use the Conditioner provided with the hair color. Keep it for at least 5 minutes and then wash off with cold water.The Good about the L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Hair Color -
- Its ammonia-free and quite gentle on the hair.
- All colors do damage the hair a little but semi-permanent color like this has very minimal damage because it doesn’t penetrate the hair deep, only gives surface color that lasts upto 28 washes.
- Non drip creme formula is really easy to use – spreads easily through the hair and gives clean application.
- Gives decent coverage for grey/white strands (claims 50% coverage) and leaves gorgeous plum tint on hair.
- Gives a glossy shine to the hair. The color tints your natural hair and hence looks very natural.
- Affordable – the kit is priced at Rs 545 and available everywhere.
- The whole process can be finished in an hour which makes it really convenient and add some nice glossy shine to your hair.
- Available in 12 shades! Lots of variety to choose from.
The Not-so-Good about the L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Hair Color -
- On very dark hair, certain shades may not show very well.
- The smell is quite fruity, that might be a hitch for some.
