Hair color L’Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss 4102 Cool Chestnut — permanent ammonia-free gloss dye

L’Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss 4102 Cool Chestnut is an ammonia-free gloss hair dye formulated to deposit a cool chestnut brown tone while improving hair texture and shine. The cream-based formula contains conditioning ingredients that help smooth the hair surface and reduce frizz, providing a glossy finish. Shade 4102 is intended for at-home application to cover natural greys and refresh existing colour on mid to dark hair bases; final results vary with hair porosity, previous colour treatments and base shade.

How to use

Follow the included instructions and perform an allergy patch test before first use. Apply the cream evenly to dry hair, starting where colour is most needed.

Use the provided after-colour conditioner to lock in shine and smooth the hair surface.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on hair with a base within the recommended range—mid to dark—to achieve the illustrated cool chestnut tone. If your hair is lighter or previously lightened, expect a different, less predictable result; consult a professional for significant colour changes. To maintain gloss and colour longevity, use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners and avoid excessive heat styling.
