Easy steps for applying Color Sensation in shades 1.0 (Black) to 9.0 (Light Natural Blonde)
Step 1: Prepare
Squeeze contents of the Color Cream tube into Developer Bottle.
Step 2: Mix
Screw the cap of the Developer Bottle on well, break off the tip, cover, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or until mixture is even.
Step 3: Apply to Roots
Keeping the gloves on, apply the product to your dry, unwashed hair using the Developer Bottle as an applicator. Start at your roots, using the bottle to separate the hair section by section.
Step 4: Apply Through Ends
Then, apply the color throughout the length of your hair to the ends. When finished, massage into your hair and ensure it is evenly spread.
Step 5: Wait 25-30 minutes
Allow the color to develop for 25 minutes. (If you have lots of gray hair, or if your hair is particularly resistant to color, you may leave on for up to 30 minutes).
Step 6: Rinse & Condition
When time is up, keep your gloves on and apply a little water to your hair, massage to emulsify the colorant. Then rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Apply the full amount of conditioner, leave on for 2-3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

Step 1: Prepare
Squeeze contents of the Color Cream tube into Developer Bottle.
Step 2: Mix
Screw the cap of the Developer Bottle on well, break off the tip, cover, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or until mixture is even.
Step 3: Apply to Roots
Keeping the gloves on, apply the product to your dry, unwashed hair using the Developer Bottle as an applicator. Use the brush handle to make 1/4 inch parts and apply the mixture with the bottle.
Step 4: Allow Color to Develop
If you are using shades 1.0 through 9.0 allow the color to develop for 15 minutes. If you are using shades 11.0 or 11.3 allow the color to develop for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Pull Through Ends
Now, use the brush to spread and distribute the hair color evenly. You can also revisit resistant areas. Then, apply the rest of the mixture on your end. If you are using shades 1.0 through 9.0, you may leave on for up to 10 minutes. If you are using shades 11.0 or 11.3, leave on for only 5 minutes.
Step 6: Rinse & Condition
When time is up, keep your gloves on and apply a little water to your hair, massage to emulsify the colorant. Then, rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Apply the full amount of conditioner, leave on for 2-3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

I have been coloring my hair for years. I started going gray in my early 20's and I am now 54. I hate when my roots show and I get what I call the skunk look. I was amazed at how Garnier Color Sensations covered my gray quickly. There is no horrible ammonia smell which means it is gentler on my hair. Some colorants irritate my skin and make me itch, but this kit didn't. When I was done, my hair was very soft and shiny and the color is a very nice warm brown. It is pretty close to my natural color and I am very happy with the results. I will be buying this again when I have to redo the color.

I tried Garnier Color Sensation in 5.0: Medium Natural Brown. First, I loved the packaging of this. Most hair dyes I have used do not include a brush to brush on the dye at the roots, but Garnier did! It made it so much easier to apply the dye to my roots. The smell of the dye was great--not overpowering or chemical-like like other hair dyes. I also loved how easily the dye washed out of my hair. What I mean is that my hair was dyed beautifully, but I was able to rinse it all the way out. I'm usually stuck with nasty residue on my hair after dying, but this did not happen with this product! I love the color and it covered all my white hairs. I will definitely be using this dye again.

This product is an awesome trial from Crowdtap! After dyeing my hair to a red a few months back this color covered it wonderfully and made my hair look very natural. It has not dried out my hair or damage it like other colors do.

I tried this dye on mom's hair and she has some tough gray hair and it dyed it wonderfully! Mom hasn't been happy with hair dyes for a while but this lifted up her spirits a lot! Only one expensive brand has done this before so we're very excited to find one that's more affordable.

I actually got the Dark Brown shade which I am pleased with. It left my hair soft, shiny, and healthy looking instead of dry, and rough. The color actually looks like it did on the box, which is rare!

I have colored my hair for a while now. Garnier Color Sensation 5.0: Medium Natural Brown provided excellent gray coverage and left my hair so shiny. I really liked the hair coloring brush. It made the application a lot easier, a lot like the professionals. My hair looks and feels healthy, even better than when I go to the salon. The color looks great and has not faded. An important factor is the cost, it is so much more economical than going to a salon. It saves time too, I usually spend 1 1-2 to 2 hours at the salon and only spend about a 1-3 of that time when I do it at home.

I love the natural look of the color. I was able to apply the hair color with very little odor.When I rinsed out and put the conditioner that came with it in my hair if felt so nice. After i dryed my hair it was so soft you never would have know I just colored it. The Garnier Color Sensation really covered all my grey hairs that other products have not been able to do. I love the medium natural brown it looks great. Made me feel like a new woman.

I use hair dye, a lot! I have to cover up those grays that I am WAY too young to have. I LOVED Garnier anyways, but fell in love with Color Sensation 5.0 in Medium Natural Brown! It covered the gray, and almost made the grays look like highlights! It smells great, no chemical scent. My hair came out gorgeous, natural looking, and soft as can be. I will continue to use GArnier as my Go-To hair color!!

I love how easy it was to put in my own hair. There's no harsh smells. It actually made my hair feel softener after coloring. Usually my hair feels like straw when I'm done.

Love it, it had enough for me to use just one package of it and it covered my head well and the color of it is great! It also left my hair with a great shine to it was a plus all around because I feel like my hair is very bland!

I really liked it, it was a little different from what I am use to but after using it was easy to apply. At first I thought the dye smelled good like fruits but then after a while you could smell the dye which was a okay smell. I loved the color of how it turned out, exactly the color I wanted. It was easy to put on and easy to rinse out all of the dye. I will definitely be getting this product again to touch up my hair in the future.

I received a sample of Garnier Color Sensation™ 5.0: Medium Natural Brown to try. I colored my hair over the weekend and I have to say, it has never been that easy to get such nice color. I have received a ton of compliments.

The color was exactly as stated. It was very easy to use. It came with a brush if you were just doing a touch up. I didn't use it because I did an all over color. My hair looked great and felt very silky afterwords. It did a good job covering up the few gray hairs i had.

Color me impressed, litteraly.the cream applied so well and was thick so it didn't drip a mess everywhere while it color. Nor did it stink, which was lovely.The results were great too. It covered all my grey and left my hair shiny and full of bounce with its color.I'd totally use it again.

I feel as though i received a color hard to distinguish from my own hair color, other than that the process was quick and easy, instructions were easy to fallow, and over all i had a great time trying out this product.

Worked great . The smell was not as strong as others and it was easy to apply on my roots with the applicator it came with, The color was the same as in the box so you do get what you want.

I received my free sample of Garnier Color Sensations Medium Natural Brown hair coloring, and loved it. It was very easy to use. I liked the fact that two options were available to me, I could either color all my hair or just do a root touch up. I chose to color all of my hair. I was pleased that there was not a nasty chemical order when using the product. The sample matched my natural color perfectly and left my hair feeling soft afterwards.

I tried Garnier Color Sensation in 5.0: Medium Natural Brown - and I really liked it! Application was very easy. You just mix the color cream with the developer, shake, and you're ready to go. I applied to my hair, roots first, and waited the allotted time before rinsing. The color was gentle and did not cause any unpleasant sensations on my scalp. It rinsed out fairly easily, but it also left my hair feeling very dry (like most hair colors do.) I used the small conditioner packet that came in the box, but it only helped with the dryness marginally. However, it did feel better in a couple of days after I washed my hair again. So far, it's done an excellent job of coloring all my grays. The color itself is a rich brown, which looks very nice with my skin tone. I liked Garnier Color Sensation and I'd consider buying it! (I received this box free from Crowdtap in exchange for an honest review.)

It was a little darker than I normally use, but it was a nice change of pace. I got several compliments on the change. Whoever said that blondes have more fun was completely wrong. Brown haired gals have just as much fun too!

I just love this hair dye. I finally found one that doesnt smell going on. I love how it colors my whole head keeps my hair feeling soft and a wonderful shine. It really made my hair stand out. My friends even ask me what place did I go to dye my hair it really looks beautiful and they wanted to get my color too. I told them it was me that did it . It came from Garnier color sensation and it colored my gray so well. Cant wait to buy more.
