Doesn't hold it's color anymore
I have been using this hair dye for over a decade becasue it used to be the only red hair dye you could easily buy at the drug store that didn't fade after 2 weeks. Sadly, they must have reformulated and that is no longer the case. Now I have to look for new hair color again.

Love this product!
This hair dye is amazing! I am a complete rookie when it comes to dyeing my hair. My hair was dyed and highlighted by my hair stylist, but I wanted to move to dyeing it myself to save money. I was thrilled to find this as it's not tested on animals and doesn't contain animal products. I did zero research on how to dye your own hair and just picked up a colour off the shelf. I have some natural brown hair, lots of white and grey, and lots of dyed hair. This product blended beautifully! It left my hair soft and healthy looking as well. I felt the first colour I tried wasn't quite right so I tried another and then this one. Each time it has just blended beautifully and my risky experimenting has worked out well! I've finally found the colour that is the right fit for me and I'm so pleased to be able to use this product and save so much money. The one improvement Garnier could make is add to the box what the colour will look like on grey and white hair. :)

Does not color your hair at all it. My hair is black never been colored. I was looking to change to brown without bleach. This one said to do that and it didn’t.

violet is a lie
I generally love Garnier hair dye, but I have to echo other's comments that the violet color is a joke. I have never dyed my hair with such a disperate outcome from the box, and that is saying something. It is just dark red.
1 reply from Garnier Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
Hello sara! We are so sorry to hear that your color results turned out much warmer and redder than the cool violet shade you were hoping to achieve. Violet pigments can be quite delicate, and because hair dye interacts uniquely with everyone's starting base, any underlying warm or red undertones in your hair can sometimes pull through more vibrantly than expected. A helpful tip to help tone down unwanted red tones is to use a clarifying shampoo over the next few washes to gently fade the excess warmth, or to apply a cool, ash-toned color gloss to help neutralize the red and shift the hair back to a cooler shade. We truly appreciate your support of our hair color line and hope this helps you adjust your tone to a look you love.

Not purple.
This turned my hair a raspberry color. Would have been cute it if it was what I was going for. The hair dye does work. It did change my hair color. It’s like any of the blue pigment that should be in there, is completely absent. Value is decent, but upsetting in that it feels almost like false advertising.
1 reply from Garnier Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us! We are so glad to hear that our Ultra Color dye worked beautifully to change your hair color, but we are so sorry that you ended up with a raspberry purple instead of the true, cool blue shade you were hoping for. What you are experiencing actually comes down to a fascinating bit of color theory and how hair dye works on dark hair! Because blue pigments naturally mix with natural yellow/orange undertones to create green, our blue hair dyes are formulated with a violet-red base to prevent your hair from turning green. When our "high-lift" formula lifts your dark hair to let the color in, it exposes your hair's natural warm, red-orange undertones. When that newly exposed red mixes with the blue dye, Blue + Red = Purple. Because your hair naturally holds onto those warm red pigments so strongly, the blue got neutralized, leaving you with that vibrant raspberry look! If you want to cool down the raspberry and bring out more of the blue, we highly recommend washing your hair a few times with a clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo to help fade the warm red pigments, then applying a semi-permanent blue toner (which contains no developer) directly over your hair to lock in that cool, rich blue you were looking for. We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps you get your dream blue shade!

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 - 2 months 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I followed the instructions. I haven’t colored my hair in a year. Only my roots and my grays were covered. Waste of money
