FAQs

How long does the Garnier Nutrisse color last?

Garnier Nutrisse is a permanent hair dye, meaning the color is designed to last until your hair grows out or is cut. However, vibrancy may slightly fade over several weeks depending on your hair care routine and exposure to elements.

Can I use this product if I have previously colored hair?

Yes, you can use Garnier Nutrisse on previously colored hair. However, the final result may vary depending on your existing color and condition. Always perform a strand test to predict the outcome.

Is a patch test really necessary?

Yes, a patch test 48 hours before every application is absolutely necessary, even if you have used hair dye before. It helps identify potential allergic reactions to ingredients that can develop over time.

How do I choose the right shade for my hair?

Consider your natural hair color, skin tone, and desired outcome. For significant changes, a professional consultation is advised. This specific shade is Medium Dark Brown, ideal for those seeking a rich, deep brown that covers greys effectively.

How often can I dye my hair with Garnier Nutrisse?

It is generally recommended to wait 4-6 weeks between full hair color applications to allow your hair to recover and to minimize potential damage. For root touch-ups, you can apply as needed, typically every 3-4 weeks.

What should I do if I get dye on my clothes or furniture?

Act quickly. For clothes, rinse immediately with cold water. For surfaces, use a dedicated stain remover or a mixture of baking soda and water. Always work carefully to prevent spills, and cover surfaces with old newspapers or towels before starting.

Troubleshooting

Color did not take or is uneven.

Ensure thorough and even application, especially on grey areas. Check that the product was mixed completely and left on for the recommended time. Hair porosity can affect results; ensure hair is clean and dry before application.

Hair feels dry or brittle after coloring.

Apply the nourishing conditioner thoroughly, leaving it on for the full recommended time or slightly longer. Incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments into your hair care routine using a product designed for color-treated hair.

Allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling) occurred.

Immediately rinse the product out of your hair and off your skin. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen. This is why a patch test 48 hours prior to full application is critical and mandatory.

Color is too dark or not the expected shade.

The final color can be influenced by your current hair color and porosity. Consider a color-removing product if needed (use with caution), or wait for the color to naturally fade slightly. Always perform a strand test before full application to preview the result.

Skin staining around the hairline.

Gently rub a cotton pad soaked with a little shampoo or rubbing alcohol on the stained area. In the future, apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) along your hairline before application to prevent staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Before you begin, gather all necessary items: the hair dye kit, old towels, a timer, gloves (provided), and a non-metallic bowl if you prefer brush application.

Perform a Patch Test (Mandatory): 48 hours before full application, apply a small amount of the unmixed dye cream and developer to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow). Leave it for 48 hours. If any irritation, redness, or swelling occurs, do not use the product.
Conduct a Strand Test (Recommended): Apply the mixed dye to a small, hidden strand of hair to determine the optimal processing time and preview the final color result.
Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours before coloring. This allows natural oils to protect your scalp.
Mix the Product: Put on the provided gloves. Pour the entire contents of the developer bottle into the applicator bottle or a non-metallic bowl. Add the entire contents of the hair dye cream tube. Close the applicator bottle tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is uniform. If using a bowl, mix thoroughly with a non-metallic spoon or applicator brush.
Protect Your Surroundings: Drape an old towel over your shoulders and wear old clothing. Apply a thin layer of barrier cream around your hairline to prevent skin staining.

Compatibility

Hair Types: Garnier Nutrisse Permanent Hair Dye is suitable for all hair types. Results may vary slightly depending on your natural hair color, texture, and porosity.
Previous Treatments: If your hair has been recently permed, relaxed, or straightened, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks before coloring.
Chemical Reactions: As with all hair color products, avoid contact with metallic objects during mixing and application (e.g., metal clips, metallic bowls).

Hair Care After Coloring

To maintain the vibrancy and health of your freshly colored hair:

Use Colour-Safe Products: Switch to shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. These formulas are gentler and help lock in color.
Cool Water Rinses: Rinse your hair with lukewarm or cool water, as hot water can open the hair cuticle and cause color to fade faster.
Limit Washing: Wash your hair less frequently. Consider using dry shampoo between washes to extend your color's life.
Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: High heat from styling tools can strip color and damage hair. Use heat protectant sprays and opt for lower heat settings.
Deep Conditioning: Incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment or hair mask to keep your hair nourished and healthy, especially after chemical processing.
