Great product, but darker than dark blonde

This seems a really nice product and not too harsh on the hair. It dyes and blends well, and completely dyes the grey and white. I find it dyes a lot darker than dark blonde though. Initially it comes out as a mid to dark brown on the white/grey hair, but it does fade as the weeks go on. Love that it's cruelty free!
1 reply from CCC team - 24 days ago
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you love our cruelty-free formula and that it successfully covers and blends your grey and white hair while remaining gentle. Regarding the color result, grey and white hair can sometimes be highly porous, which can cause it to absorb pigments more intensely and appear darker (like a mid-to-dark brown) immediately after coloring before gradually softening. Your observation is incredibly helpful for other users when selecting their perfect shade.

True color

I have been coloring my hair at home for over 10’years and lately the product I had been using left unwanted grays no matter how long I left it in. I tried this color from Garnier and I love it! No extra time needed to cover all my gray, the color is true to the box and my hair doesn’t feel damaged or dry. Very happy!

Color ended up lighter not darker

I used the chestnut brown on my light brown hair today. Instead of going darker like I expected, it went lighter. Was disappointed to have my hair look lighter not darker. Is there a way to fix it?

Love ❤️

I’m a red head, but as I’ve gotten older it’s turned more strawberry blonde. I prefer the red. I 535 brown mahogany. It’s my choice color. I won’t use any other color. So easy to use and last 5-6 weeks.

The color just stay on my root and no on the rest.

I like this color but for some reason the color just stays on my robots but on the rest of the hair it stay my natural color which is a dark brown/black. I never dye my hair before, I put the product on my natural hair. Just 1year ago I did a some capilar treatment for control my frizz and that it, so I don't know if that it the problem that the color don't stay on the rest of my hair.

Much too golden and thick

First, the Dark Natural Blond turns out much too golden compared to the pictures of Drew. I’ve used it multiple times and follow the directions exactly. Thoughts on what to do differently? And the formula is so thick that I have to bang it down into the sink before squeezing it onto my hair. Every time! So at the end of coloring, my sink has color all over it. I like how gentle the formula is on my hair.
1 reply from LeCare team - 2 months ago
HI there Sharon89, thank you so much for your review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you love how gentle the Nutrisse formula is on your hair—keeping your hair feeling soft and healthy is our top priority! Regarding the color, because everyone's natural hair pigments are unique, sometimes a shade can pull more of those warm, golden tones during the coloring process. If you prefer a cooler look, we highly recommend trying a shade with 'ash' or 'cool' in the name next time, as these tones are formulated to help neutralize and cancel out unwanted warmth! If we had a dark ash blonde, this sounds like it would be perfect for you. While this is a rich cream formula, it should not be so thick that you have to wrestle to get the mixture onto your hair. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-442-7643 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

Disappointed with the new color version (enriched)

I used this Deep Burgundy color (Nutrisse Garnier no. 42) for many years, and I always got numerous compliments. Recently, the formula has changed to enriched color, and I was very disappointed. The scalp around my hairline remains orange for days, and it's really hard to remove it. Also, the hair color is not what I expected. Instead of the cherry color, it is more orange. Please, please, bring back the old color, the way it was was perfect.

Hi Cami07, thank you so much for being such a loyal Garnier fan over the years! We are so incredibly sorry to hear that the updated Nutrisse shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry did not give you the beautiful deep burgundy result you were expecting. Let alone the unexpected orange that you experienced on your hairline. We know how frustrating it is when a holy-grail product changes! We are not sure why you are seeing the “orange” results or staining, however, if you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-442-7643 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

Hard thick cream, horrible

Hard on the end where the top is, can't get cream out. Had to cut other end, put in the bottle and it was so thick that it would get stuck in bottle nozzle. Applied pressure, squirted all over the place. Something is wrong , this is the second time this has happened. Thought first time was a fluke.

Itching is out of control! Dont buy!

Horrible experience. Ive used Garnier in the past but this time mademy scalp itch nonstop. Its now day 3 and cant stop scratching my scalp. Never had this happen with any other brand. So uncomfortable. Will have to go to doctor. Never again. They mustve changed their formula. Also, while color is changing you get scared its not gonna turn out right because it turns green. Color was blah! John Frieda mousse hair dye is amazing! Skip this one! Soo many better brands! out there!

dark is the word

Came out black, darkest I have ever had. Hopefully it lights up some.
1 reply from Garnier team - 3 months ago
Hi Evilheffer, We apologize you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with Nutrisse Darkest Brown. We know how disappointing it can be to look forward to a new application of color only to find that your results are not what you expected. There are many reasons why haircolor results can come out too dark. Once you have color-treated hair, we suggest following the touch up application method to achieve optimal results. Otherwise, by doing repeat full head applications, due to the hair's porosity, you are left with a haircolor result that is much darker than what you intended. If you have any additional questions or would like to speak with one of our haircolor experts directly, please reach back out!
