L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss in Black Liquorice 100 is designed to provide a rich, glossy black color that looks vibrant and natural. Its semi-permanent formula means it's perfect for those looking to experiment with a new shade without a long-term commitment, or simply to refresh their natural black hair with added shine. The inclusion of the 10% Glycolic Gloss Complex means that beyond just coloring, your hair receives a conditioning treatment, resulting in a noticeably softer, silkier feel and a healthy appearance.
In real-world use, users can expect the color to last through daily washing routines for several weeks before gradually fading. This makes it an excellent choice for a temporary change for events, seasonal looks, or to add depth and shine to dull hair. The ammonia-free formula means a more pleasant scent during application and less potential irritation. For best results, applying to clean, unconditioned hair as per instructions ensures optimal color uptake and longevity. The glossy finish helps hair reflect light beautifully, giving it a luminous, healthy glow.
Perform a Patch Test (Mandatory): Always conduct a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of product mixture to a clean area of skin, usually behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or touch for 48 hours. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
Preparation: Put on the gloves provided in the packet. Prepare your hair by ensuring it is dry and unwashed. Open the colorant tube and pour its contents into the developer bottle.
Mixing: Close the developer bottle and shake it vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly combined and uniform.
Application: Snip off the tip of the applicator nozzle immediately. Apply the mixture evenly to your hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure complete saturation for even color.
Development Time: Leave the mixture on your hair for the time specified in the packet instructions (Info needed: specific time from packaging).
Rinsing & Conditioning: After the development time, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Then, apply the included conditioner, leave it on for the recommended time (Info needed: specific time from packaging), and rinse again.
This product is formulated for adults. While it is gentle and ammonia-free, perform a patch test every time to confirm compatibility.
It is generally compatible with most hair types. For highly damaged or previously treated hair, a strand test is recommended to preview the color result and assess hair's reaction.
Longevity: The semi-permanent color lasts for up to 32 shampoos. The fading process will be gradual.
Maintenance: To help maintain the color and gloss, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive washing with hot water, as this can accelerate color fading.
Post-Color Care: Continue to use the conditioning treatment provided or a similar nourishing conditioner regularly to keep your hair feeling silky and looking healthy.
