Paint Loreal "Casting Cream Gloss". Photo of the color palette, instructions for use

For careful staining, Loreal has created the Casting Cream Gloss paint without the use of ammonia. The manufacturers declare that the result obtained completely coincides with the palette in the photo of the package. It is devoid of unpleasant odor, thanks to flavored additives, and has rich coloring pigments that give a bright color.

Composition

Coloring cream and developing milk have a gentle composition. The content of harmful components is minimal. These include benzyl and lauric acid, which can dry hair. And also toluene, which is a toxic industrial solvent. These components are indicated in the last positions of the list, which means that there are very few of them in the composition.

The paint does not contain ammonia.

It is replaced by ethanolamine, an ammonia derivative, which also promotes the initiation of coloring reactions, but has a milder and less irritating effect.

The basis of the coloring cream is cetearyl alcohol. It belongs to fatty vegetable alcohols and has the property of conditioning. Propylene glycol and carbomer are contained in the composition as humectants. Silicon dioxide is able to retain up to 60% moisture inside the hair.

A special mica component is mica for shine and shimmering curls. Resorcinol and titanium dioxide have a whitening effect in relation to any components. They also provide protection from the harmful effects of the sun. Contains a natural dye - iron oxide. Developing milk is based on phosphoric acid and hydrogen peroxide.

Paint Casting cream Gloss contains amodimethicone balm. It is a conditioning silicone polymer that can selectively adhere only to damaged areas of hair.

Flavors such as limonene and citronellol have been added to create a pleasant scent. The saturation of the color is provided by the content of citric acid in the fixing balm. Royal jelly is in the penultimate position, which means it is contained in a very small amount. 

Advantages

The main advantage of the paint is the absence of ammonia in the composition and the presence of caring components. Active conditioners in the process of dyeing affect the hair and give the effect in the form of soft and pleasant to the touch curls. The developing coloring pigment is as close as possible to natural shades. Thanks to the addition of mica, the coloring gives the hair a shimmery effect.

In addition, the following advantages are distinguished:

• painting over gray hair;
• minimal risk of allergic reactions;
• does not dry hair and scalp;
• gives a deep, bright color;
• has a pleasant aroma;
• blonde shades have a lightening effect;

How to choose a color: professional advice

When choosing a shade for coloring, you need to take into account your color type, which is made up of 3 elements:

• hair color;
• eye;
• skin.

The color type is defined as warm or cold. The second is pale, light pink skin. The eyes are predominantly brown or blue. Ash tones, blondes will suit them.

Red and gold tones should be avoided as they give the skin a red tint. The warm type is peach-colored skin, green, light brown eyes. The natural shade of the strands is often chestnut. It is worth choosing the same warm shades of gold.

There are several ways to determine skin tone. You can see the veins in the arms. In the cold type, they have a blue tint, and in the warm type, green. Another way is to attach a white sheet of paper or cloth to your face. It is easier to recognize skin tones against a white background.

If it's pink, then a cool platinum blonde will accentuate the red. Pink is best neutralized by ash shades. Yellowish skin is not combined with golden tones. Chestnut and red shades are good choices for her. With dark skin, you need a bright deep hair color, and muted tones can make the image look expressionless.

People with pale skin need to be especially careful when choosing. The black color can significantly age them. Choosing a blonde among the collections, you need to take into account that golden ones are suitable for a warm type, and ashy for a cold one.

The natural color of the curls also plays an important role. If you select a shade that is too light compared to the natural color, the desired effect may not be achieved. Therefore, blonde girls can choose from a wider range of shades.

But the final choice should be based on the color type of the skin. Usually natural blondes are suitable for colors such as light chestnut and honey. For fair-haired girls, a suitable option is red and copper tones. For swarthy ones, golden chestnut is suitable.

The owner of any hair color can become a brunette. But we must remember that it is difficult to get rid of it later. Chestnut is recommended for damaged and dull hair.
