So, what is so good about Casting Crème Gloss and what gives it the edge over home hair dyes?  Here’s my account of hair dye horrors from the past…

In my teen years, I had some nasty run-ins with DIY highlights that turned a nauseating shade of orange.  Another hair fail was choosing permanent dyes that were far too dark for my hair, resulting in some very visible root regrowth – anyone who had a goth or rock chick phase will be nodding knowingly!

It has taken many years to realise that semi-permanent dye is infinitely more flattering, as it allows your natural tone to shine through, stopping the hair looking dull and avoiding the dreaded root regrowth line.

Since having this hair epiphany Casting Crème Gloss (colour that lasts up to 28 washes) has been a reliable choice when my cash wouldn’t stretch to salon visits, particularly as it has a good selection of ash and cool colours.  My main bugbear with home hair dyes was that the colour always brought out red undertones when they faded (which doesn’t suit my complexion one bit).  The short colour test on the Casting Crème website instantly suggested Iced Mocha – a cool, light brown with not even a hint of redness.
