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!

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!

Horrible, can't used. Plugs up the tip.
Had to cut bottom on developing creme, very thick and clumps. Mixed everything including oil. Shook well over and over, would not come out of the bottle, cut the top to make it bigger. Some came out only to get stuck with climbs. Never had this problem before Code is 7010344716

Love the cool ash
Really happy with this. Warm tones do not look good on my and my water at home keeps making my hair brassy. I'm happy to get an ash brown to keep it cool toned. Hair feels good and the price is right.

1 reply from Garnier Consumer Care team - 4 months ago
Hello Cici! It is very concerning to hear about the unexpected color result you experienced and the difficulty with the product quantity. When applying a dark brown shade over hair that is very light or blonde, the absence of warm underlying pigments can sometimes lead to a cool or ashy "greenish" tone. For a successful transition from blonde to dark brown, we often recommend a two-step process or choosing a shade with warmer, gold, or mahogany tones to balance the cool base and ensure a natural-looking finish. Regarding the amount of product, for hair that is shoulder-length or has a thicker texture, we typically suggest having two boxes on hand to ensure full and even saturation, which is key to achieving a consistent and vibrant color from roots to ends. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve our guidance for those making significant color changes at home.

Moisturizing and gorgeous color!
I’ve had my hair colored a lot over the past 5 years since I started getting gray hair. My hair always feels so dry for weeks after. I switched to this and my hair is so much softer than after my Salon Color Treatments. Also, this is my favorite color because it brings out my light auburn hues in my hair. I actually buy this color and have my stylist put it in.

Box was opened/ damaged at arrival. Don’t feel comfortable using an opened box of hair dye but unable to return/ replace item due to it not being eligible.

New product line and packaging is awful
Why why why did you change this product line?? I hate the new bottles which are difficult to squeeze and get the product out, and the product itself becomes very sticky after 25 minutes and difficult to work with and wash out. I loved the old product and used it for decades, sorry I cannot work with this new line and difficult packaging. 😞 Switched to a different brand easier to work with.

Will not try it again.
Very disappointed with the new version. My hair turned more orange not burgundy. I will need to find a new company to buy from. Why did you change it. If it is not broke why fix it. I have been buying this product for years.

this is not the blond I was after, I see red
I followed the instructions to the tee, yet somehow my medium blond with a few grays came out red.

Hi HellenH! We apologize you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with Nutrisse Ultra Creme, 80-Medium Natural Blonde. 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. All natural haircolor that is darker than pale blonde has red and gold pigments. When you lighten your natural color, these warm gold and red pigments are revealed. When it's time to do your retouch choose a shade with "Ash" to minimize the warm undertones. For e.g. Ash Blonde, Medium Ash Blonde, Dark Ash Blonde!
