Thanks to Chick Advisor I am getting to try this great product. I applied yesterday and found Garnier easy to use and a good value for the money. My hair is past my shoulders and I find sometimes I am scrounging to get enough product with one box. With this product there was well enough product and then some. I found the colour to be very complimentary. I was experimenting with a different shade (Sangria) and was concerned that it would be a little too red. I was pleasantly surprised with the subtle and refreshing change. This product has no strong odour which is a definite bonus and the conditioner smells great.
Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a box of the Garnier Nutrisse Cream in Liquorice #10 to review. This hair dye provides a long-lasting grey coverage, and the gentle formula leaves my hair incredibly soft with a brilliant glossy shine.
The dye is rich, creamy, and thick so I had no dripping issues. Yay! The product did lightly stain my scalp and the bathtub but the staining did not cause irreversible damage. Thankfully, the light stain can be lightly scrubbed away. My hair color is now a healthy deep black – the color matches my natural hair color quite precisely. I would repurchase the Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color and I suggest my friends and family to check this product out.
I have been using Nice and Easy for the longest time and i would find out within a couple days my hair was so dry and frizzy it was horrible. I had recieved a coupon for Garnier Nutrisse and decided to try it, I love it! My hair hasnt felt this nurished in a long time and it is touchably soft and the colour is brilliant. I will never touch another hair dye again. Totally recommended!
It has been a long time since I tried a DIY hair colour that was worth writing home about. I had gone back to paying salon prices for a few years because come wash #5 or 6 I'd find my home colour going brassy or mousy.
Garnier Nutrisse is very moisturizing and totally covered my grays. The colour is luminous and I am absolutely in love with the way my hair looks. While the colour has softened from its first intensity, it's still a lovely shade that looks very natural - not at all washed out. I would even go so far as to say this is the closest product to salon colour I've tried and I will be sure to buy this again.
In fact, through my position at ChickAdvisor I receive many products for free to test. This one though I bought myself and am 110% sold.
I was one of the lucky recipients to be picked by Garnier to try this amazing haircolor. First of all, a little bit about my hair. It is naturally a dark brown, but with grey strands interspersed throughout. For this review, I chose the color "Iced Macchiato" which is described as a light iridescent golden brown. This is a bit lighter than I have normally gone with my hair color, but seeing as it is summer, I thought it would be good to go lighter.
The formula is very creamy (as the name suggests!), and I like that it is a thick enough consistency that it doesn't drip down my neck and all over the floor. Also, I use a dye brush to color my hair, and the cream formula stays right where I put it. I also really like the fact that the Garnier cream does not have that horrible, nose burning ammonia smell that some other brands do. I left my dye on for 40 minutes, way over the suggested time, but since my greys are quite stubborn, I find that I need to leave hair dye on longer in my hair.
I am happy to say that even though I left the color on longer, it did not dry my hair out. After following the instructions for rinsing out and conditioning, I was left with hair that felt incredibly soft.
As for the color itself, my dark brown hair is now a medium golden brown and my greys are a light golden shade. I love the effects that it gives. It looks like I had an actual highlighting job done.
It's been over 3 weeks since I colored my hair with the Garnier cream, and the color has stayed true so far.
All in all, I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to my friends.
Thanks, Garnier and ChickAdvisor for introducing me to this great product!
I am 34 and I am already experiencing a lot of grey hair. I have for a few years now and I have tried a few products but none that made my greys dissapear for as long as Garnier Nutrisse Cream. Not only does the color work on covering greys it keeps them covered for a long time. With this color system I don't need to color my hair as often as with other "permanent" colors.
My favorite part about this is that is it easy to mix and the cream has a very distinct and wonderful smell. This comes from the oil that is included in the cream. This product does not make your hair smell like you have just had a dye job. I also love the conditioner that comes with the product. It made my hair so soft and so shiny that I wish they would sell the conditioner on it's own for regular use. I try to make the conditioner last at least two washes so that I can fully take advantage of it. It is wonderful.
Today I recieved my shampoo, conditioner and color sealer and I will be trying those next. I hope the conditioner is as good as the one that comes with the color package.
Over all I can honestly say I will not use any other hair coloring brands besides this one. I am a lifer!

I was one of the lucky ones to receive the Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color in Chocolate Brown for review. I have used Garnier products before and have been satisfied with their quality as well as their easy to use instructions.
When looking for home hair color kits, I look for: easy to use instructions, 100% grey coverage, a non drip formula, and a long lasting promise. Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color met all of my requirements and was the perfect home hair color system for me to use.
Currently I have light brown dyed hair, with natural curls. I wash my hair every day because I use products often on my hair to keep my curls nice and shapely, unfortunately this doesn't help to conserve my hair color and in less than a month I have to reapply. When I color my own hair I also have to be careful to saturate every single stand of hair or I am left with stands that don't match or are lighter than the others.
Garnier Nutrisse was easy and simple to use with a pleasant smell. I found that the rich creamy formula did a fantastic job in keeping the hair color on my hair and it was easy to saturate through.
The color description on the box (chocolate brown) was also a very good description of the end result. I loved the natural highlights and tones of brown. I usually color my hair a lighter shade in the summer and dark in the winter months and Chocolate Brown was the perfect choice. Plus it covered all of my grey hairs. I must say that the Rich Nourishing Conditioner Cream included in the box is the best after color conditioner that I have come across in home coloring kits. It smelled great, my hair felt silky, moisturized, and easy to manage. I wish that there was more than just one tube because it was amazing.
I will see if their claim of long lasting color holds true and let you guys know. In the near future I will also review Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo, Conditioner and Instant Color Shield. Stay tuned for more Gariner Products reviews.
It has been exactly 45 days since I colored my hair with Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color and the results have been fantastic.
On its own, this product does deliver on its promise of giving you beautifully rich, radiant and nourished hair. However, using the Garnier Color Shield line of products to maintain my hair after coloring helped me to keep the color from fading and my hair from drying out. My hair looks and feels amazing even after 45 washes. I am very satisfied with the results and am very lucky to have been able to try them.
Great Products!
I had the opportunity to try out Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color in dark brown from the Product Review Club. After a summer of bleaching highlights into my hair and moving from one province to another (one that has hard water and one with soft water)... my hair looked like a scarecrow. I then decided that since the Fall is upon us, I needed to dye my hair back close to its natural color. There are a few things I look for in a hair color... I like better when it is a cream instead of a liquid because the cream tends to stay where you put it and not run all down your neck. I also am picky about the smell of hair dye products, it shouldn't be too strong or sting my eyes. I found that this product smelled fine. The gloves with this product were not awkward gloves that are 20 sizes too big so I was impressed with that as well. The number one thing I look for with a hair color is staying power and so far so good... my hair still looks the fabulous shade of deep brown that it did the day I dyed it. I recommend this product and would use it again.
Thanks to Garnier and ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to try out this hair color.
I've not had very much success as of late with any color. I've tried L'oreal (no staying power and quite expensive for home color), Kelly Van Goh ( outrageously expensive for home color and took more an hour to partially cover my greys - 'impossible' according to Kelly Van Goh when she emailed a response to my complaints), Clairol Perfect 10 (perfect my ass, and it ain't no 10 minutes, doesn't cover even my few gray hairs after 30 minutes), etc. All big fat flops in one way or another. As much as I really wanted to be a part of this product review, I still had that feeling of dread.........oh god........I have to color my mop again.........gah.........not looking forward to it.......etc etc. So I put it off to a few days. Surprisingly, once I buckled down and did it, I found that Garnier was the best of the bunch that I've tried in the past year, not to mention one of the most affordable, hassle free alternative to going to the salon and using other brands of home coloring kits.
The packaging looked much the same to me when compared to other Garnier products. The signature green going on with a bit more yellow and usual graphics it seemed. But this was the least of my concerns. My main concerns were: is it going to be easy to use? how long will it have to stay in my hair? will there be enough to cover all of my hair? will it stink to high hell? will it stain my scalp/hair line (I chose a brown shade)? will it sting my eyes? will it wind up fading after a couple of washes? will the conditioner be of good quality? will my hair be dry and frizzy afterward? On most points of concern, I was extremely happy with the results. I am *rarely* happy with home color, so this is a huge thing for me!
The directions were very easy to follow and straight forward. I was also happy to find not just a packet of conditioner in the box, but a tube which is good for several maintenance applications. That's always important to me, and most home hair color brands I've tried only provide a stingy packet. Good beginning :-)
I was still doubtful, though :-) Would there be enough product to cover all of my mop? It's past my shoulders. While dividing my hair into 4 sections, I decided to let the mixture sit after giving it a good shake. It did expand in the bottle, almost filling it to the top, so the solution did wind up being enough product to completely cover my hair without it drying out. We started with my roots as my hair had been previously processed.
My husband always helps me with my hair coloring as I'm in a wheelchair and it can sometimes make things difficult to do my hair on my own. We both found the product easy to apply and that it spread well through the hair. He did the back of my head and I did the top. The nice thing was that the color didn't drip anywhere or make a big mess. Different from my other coloring experiences with the above mentioned products. He usually dreads helping me with it because it makes such a massive mess. Not this time! After we got it through my roots, we let it sit approximately 10 minutes - as recommended - then applied the rest through to my ends, massaged it around a bit, piled it up on my head and waited an additional 25 minutes. This was a little longer in total than recommended, but my previous coloring experiences made me somewhat worried that the stated time wouldn't be long enough.
Once the processing time was up, I wet it just a bit and massaged it around like a shampoo and then rinsed. It was relatively easy to wash out and there weren't any fumes going up my nose and in my eyes from the sink. So far so good. Still nervous as to the finished color and condition of my hair. But very nice to see that my scalp and hair line weren't stained! Yes!
I used about a fifth or 6th of the tube of the provided conditioner, and was still worried my hair would be dry and frizzy, so added some of my regular Ojon deep conditioning treatment as well. I actually let this mixture sit in my hair for 30 minutes, just to be sure, and then rinsed with tepid water. My hair felt great.......but I was still apprehensive........what was my final color going to look like?? haha :-)
I sprayed my Ojon revitalizing mist on my towel dried hair and combed it through, waited 10 minutes, then blow dried. Wow! Every single grey covered, the EXACT color as stated I would get on the box............and my hair felt spectacular! Absolutely shocking. I wasn't expecting anything great, just typical results. What a nice surprise for a change! Really, really nice color. Deep, different tones of brown throughout, my hair was soft to the touch and had real body! My husband really liked it, which is saying something as I can rarely get a solid opinion out of him :-)
So how was the staying power going to be then? That was my next worry. The next day I checked my color in natural daylight and sunlight. A nice deep brown in regular light and brown with slight reddish highlights in the sun. And it was still so soft and super manageable. I was impressed, to say the least!
It's been approximately a week now and I have washed/conditioned my hair three times using my Ojon products and the Garnier conditioner. It's my normal habit to NOT wash my hair every day when it's colored or chemically processed in any way. The Ojon hair care line is sulfate free, so I really thought that would make a difference as to how well the color 'stuck'. That being said, my color has faded a little bit after 3 washes, which is disappointing, but not as much as with previous hair colors. It still has a very nice, natural tone to it and everything looks like natural hair would, from my roots to my tips. No helmet head for me this time around! And this is the first time in a year that I've really LOVED the results I've gotten from a home color product. That's saying something!
It will be very interesting to see how much staying power the color has next time around using the full line of Garnier products after processing. I'm hoping it will really preserve the tone and the richness of the results.
So far so good! Am looking forward to using the product again :-) Thanks once again to ChickAdvisor and Garnier!
As Bren581 said, the gloves weren't complete pieces of rubbish compared to the ones other brands provide. That was a nice change. I also forgot to mention that the color didn't dry out even though I left my hair piled on top of my head for longer than recommended. Also a definitely plus. Looking forward to coloring again in September. I have NEVER said that about coloring my hair at home before!
This is the first time I have ever tried the Garnier Nutrisse line and find it to be an excellent product in every way. Everything you need is in the package ... the instructions are easy to read, the gloves fit and don't slip off during the application, the colour and developer are easy to mix and apply, and there is a big tube of conditioner so that you can condition the colour weekly. This product has a light and beautiful scent and is rich and creamy. It penetrates the hair thoroughly and rinses out completely. I have about 15 percent grey and the coverage was equally thorough. My hair looks soft and natural with no red after tones. This product conditions your hair and restores its bounce ... and I love it. I will continue using it because of it superiority to anything else I have tried to date.
