-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.

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!

Advantages: Good Colour, Easy to use, Quick Development Time Disadvantages: None!
I have naturally dark blonde hair but I had been getting various light blonde highlights and had a couple of brown low lights in there also. So my hair was full of varous colours of light highlights.
I was getting sick of the expense and upkeep and was desperate for a change. However, being a blonde all my life I was too scared to go for the plung and get my hairdresser to put a dye in my hair as she informed that it would take a bit of work to get it back to blonde if I hated it. So I thought I would try a bit of semi-permanent DIY.
After reading through this site I came to the conclusion that Loreal Casting Creme Gloss was going to be my best option.
I opted for the colour Iced Latte. I followed the instructions exactley as I didnt want this to go wrong. I also had my hair cut the day before so all my dead ends were gone ...
