The L'Oréal Paris Casting Crème Gloss in Black Cherry 360 is designed for individuals seeking a noticeable yet non-permanent hair color transformation, or those looking to touch up early signs of grey. Its ammonia-free formula means you can enjoy a pleasant, scent-free application process, unlike many traditional dyes.
Color Result: Expect a rich, deep black cherry hue that enhances your natural hair with a vibrant, glossy sheen. The '360' shade provides a sophisticated, natural-looking result, particularly effective on darker hair bases. On lighter hair, it may appear more intensely cherry.
Grey Coverage: This dye excels at blending away first greys, integrating them seamlessly into your new color rather than providing opaque coverage. It's an excellent choice for a natural-looking grey touch-up.
Hair Condition: Users typically report that their hair feels soft, smooth, and conditioned post-application, thanks to the included after-color conditioner. The absence of ammonia helps maintain hair health and minimize damage, leaving hair looking revitalized.
Duration: As a semi-permanent dye, the color gradually fades over approximately 28 washes. This makes it ideal for those who like to frequently change their hair color or are hesitant about permanent commitments. For continuous vibrant color, reapplication every 4-6 weeks is recommended, depending on your washing frequency.
Practical Application: The application process is straightforward. Mixing the developer and color cream is easy, and the applicator tip allows for precise distribution. The quick development time (under 30 minutes) means you can achieve a refreshed look even on a busy schedule. Always ensure even saturation for uniform color results, especially when coloring your entire head.
Patch Test (Mandatory): 48 hours before every use, apply a small amount of the product mixture to a clean area of skin, such as behind the ear. Leave it undisturbed for 48 hours. If you experience any reaction (itching, redness, swelling), do not use the product.
Preparation: Put on the gloves provided in the kit. Drape an old towel over your shoulders to protect clothing.
Mixing: Unscrew the cap of the developer bottle. Open the coloring cream tube and squeeze its entire contents into the developer bottle.
Shake: Close the developer bottle with the applicator tip. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is completely uniform and blended.
Immediate Use: Twist off the applicator tip immediately after mixing to prevent the bottle from bursting due to pressure buildup.
Application: Part your hair into small, manageable sections. Apply the color mixture evenly from roots to tips, ensuring all strands are saturated.
Development Time: Refer to the instruction leaflet inside the box for the precise development time. Do not exceed the recommended time.
Rinse: Once the development time is complete, thoroughly rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Condition: Apply the included conditioning treatment. Leave it on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
