The Nutrisse Ultra Color series is exclusively designed to transform dark hair with ultra-reflective tones - in just one easy step! Choose from four shade families: Ultra Intense Reds for visibly intense red tones on darker hair, Ultra Lightening Browns to take dark hair up to three shades lighter without the brassiness, Ultra Reflective Blacks to transform even the darkest hair with visibly reflective, shiny tones, and Ultra Lightening Blondes to lighten dark bases up to 4 levels without the brassiness.
How is it different?
Nutrisse Ultra Color has color-boost technology that nourishes while it dramatically lifts even the darkest hair. No bleach!
Is R3 right for me?
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color R3, "Light Intense Auburn," is the lightest of the three Ultra Color red shades and gives hair a strong red reflect. It is best for anyone with natural hair between medium brown and black. For other options, explore our other two shades: R0 and R2.
*For women with currently colored hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade R3 for hair that has been previously bleached, highlighted, hair that is predominantly gray, or if you have previously colored your hair "Medium Brown" or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the perfect shade for you!

I received this hair dye for free to review. I was a bit hesitant as I usually use ammonia-free dyes, and I normally need two boxes for my long hair. I was so pleasantly surprised by this product!! The ammonia smell was not too overpowering and I only needed one box!
After dying my hair, I fell in love with this product. The color was vibrant and looked just like the color on the box. Usually I need to deep condition my hair after I dye it, but this dye left my hair wonderfully soft!
I will definitely be buying this product again. I dyed my hair a week ago and have seen almost no fading in the color at all.
I gave this great product 4 stars instead of 5 because of the ammonia smell, which lingered for a day. Everything else about this product was awesome!

I gotta say that i am impressed with the final results. The color turned out to be very vibrant and beautiful. And it was very easy to apply the color. Comparing to the other brands that i have purchased in beauty supply stores, Garnier actually left my hair looking and feeling very healthy . I would definitely recommend!

I love the color I was sent. It was R3 Red Hibiscus, which is a beautiful tone of red. It was very easy to use. The color was just as shown. It covered my greys great which was unexpected. It smelled good not like most hair dyes. It also left my hair feeling very soft and smooth. I would recommend to anyone who dyes their hair.

Thanks @influenster for my free testing sample. I have a lot of hair and it is super thick so luckily, they carried that exact item in the store. After all the bottles used, I LOVE IT!!! My hair had highlights in it already which I believe helped complete the look even more!!!

I wanted to see how this color reacted with my hair. The red was vibrant and looked stunning the first week, since then it has slowly faded and my grey hairs look a little pink. As much as I love my hair red it never seems to last. I would consider purchasing this for touch ups between salon visits.

I was so excited to get this vibrant red and couldn't wait to get started!! I have dark hair, and the box results for dark brown looked so good, my results were not as great. In direct sunlight you can really see the red! It was super easy to appmy, and really didn't take long at all which was great. I was able to get it done while my kids took a nap.

First off, I love the fact that this hair color brand has Avocado, Shea and Olive oil in it to help protect your hair. This coloring leaves your hair with a beautiful shine and the color itself is awesome! It gave my hair a bright color in the sunshine but a little darker in general. Recommend!

It has been a little while since I've used this product, but I find it to be a very beautiful color however my skin is extremely pale in color thus when my hair is very long that dark of the red is overwhelming for my skin tone but in the past when I had much shorter hair and I dyed it that dark red it looked absolutely amazing and it was soft and appeared to be extremely healthy

It smells good but the color payoff was lack luster and did not turn out anything like the box it was put over a cherry cola type shade and it turned out darker than it started off. They had a previous formula and similar color that I used to buy that was way better but when they pulled that color I switched brands. I feel disappointed.

Love the richness of this red. It's hard to find one that isn't fire engine tacky or a dull brownish red. Fades a little faster than the others, but reds are known for that.

I have dark brown hair, so it's usually really hard to get lighter colors with boxed brands. This one, however, turned my hair the same color on the model albeit slightly darker. I really love the color because it doesn't clash with my warm undertone, and brightens up my face. What I love most though is the fact that my hair feels soft and silky. It didn't dry my hair out, but left it softer and shinier.

This dye was actually an old, missed friend as I kept my hair this color for a long time. Thanks to @influenster, I got to use it again for free. Well, half free as I had to buy a second box. It was just as easy to use as I remembered, and smelled just as good. The color didn't come out quite the same as it used to, but my hair has changed in three years so I'm not blaming that on the dye. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it!

I have been using this hair dye for over five years. Back in high school I wanted intense red hair,i had tried every single hair dye under the sun none of them had the intensity or the longevity that I wanted or needed. Until i tried Garnier Nutrisse Intense Auburn made for dark hair. It is nourishing and has the longevity, i dye my hair once a month maybe once every other month depending on if I have been swimming in that month. Chlorine is the one thing that will cause my hair to fade. when it fades its still a cute colour. I love this dye and will continue purchasing until im over the red.

If you are new to hair color and dye jobs well this is for you! While I don't recommend box hair dye for anyone, this product seems to have a nice shine, complements any dark hair color and leaves your hair smooth and fresh. I'd say good job this time Garnier!

So I got this product in my VoxBox and omg I usually go with a red color but I had never tried this color or this brand before! And I can honestly say this color lasts a pretty long time, I dyed my hair maybe 2 weeks ago and it has not faded even a little bit. I don’t know if it’s just me but I liked how the dye smells lol my hair is naturally black and I didn’t even have to bleach my hair to get a good red to come out. I’m definitely gonna stay with this color for awhile. And it even comes with a small bottle of conditioner to help the color last longer. Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme

This product didn’t show as much as I’d hoped but it’s nice in the sun. It was not harsh on my hair at all. My hair felt great and was still so soft. I liked the conditioner it came with too. I would definitely buy again! Thanks Garnier and Influenster for the complimentary box to try!!

Very good color. It takes a while to wash it all out and truthfully you probably won't get it all out right after you color it, but I've found that happens with reds no matter the brand. I would be nice if it contained just a little more product. I have medium-long hair and I'll have to buy another bottle to fix the not as saturated spots. Overall I love the color and feel it's the most true to box red I've tried. I received this one in a Voxbox but will definitely be purchasing this color the next time I dye my hair!

This hair color deserves 10 stars. I have always loved Garnier hair color & red is my preferred hair color, so when i received this vox box i was super excited. I used this color to add low lights to one of my virgin wigs & it worked perfectly.

I loooved this color, it was easy to apply and came out really beautiful. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it did leave some of my roots extra vibrant in comparison to other parts of my hair. I don't mind it too much though, I would definitely use again and recommend to a friend!

I've actually used this product in the past and i'm a pretty big fan! I used it to dye my hair red for five years and it always looked amazing! The color lasts and always looks amazing. Red dye is really hard to deal with and this was always my favorite, 5 years and it was always my number one!

I got this in my very first voxbox and I fell in love with it immediately. It says on the box it's for a darker base hair which I have naturally brunette very dark brunette hair. I have been a redhead for the last 4 years but been wanting to go lighter but I don't have the money for a salon using this on already dyed hair it lightened it and gave me the color of the morning. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to dye their hair burgundy it leaves my hair smooth and easy to apply comes with gloves the only thing I recommend is buying a shower cap so you can put your hair up while it's soaks

I have used Garnier Nutrisse hair dye on previous occasions and that is the only reason I gave this 4 stars. I usually do not have as much problems as I had with the R3, Red Hibiscus, dying experience. I have very thick hair and have to use 2 boxes so I bought an additional box from the store to compensate. I originally was not happy with the color until I was done. The color looks very flat on the model. I would not have chosen it myself but I am happy with the outcome so far. The dye job was easy except that in both boxes the fruit oil ampule would not pop open like it is suppose to. I had to hunt down scissors after having gotten fully prepped. I must say that Garnier Nutrisse hair dye is by far the worst smelling hair dye I have used. I rarely ever use it because of this. The chemical smell is so strong it makes my eyes burn and water. I turn both the ceiling fan and a box fan on and still cannot make it even slightly tolerable. One of the gloves broke or had a hole in the thumb and stainded my thumb and thumb nail. It took forever to wash out and even after I washed it out I still had orange dye bleeding EVERYWHERE. My back, the back of my shirt, my bra, and my pillow case are orange. The conditioner does not cover the hair well and I had to use two full bottles where with the other companies I only use half of one. Even with two full bottles I did not feel that it spread to evenly coat my hair. In the end I am liking the color so far. We will see if it goes the dreaded copper color as it fades. The process is similar for creme hair dyes but I still prefer other brands over this one.

The color payoff with this is amazing. Garnier has always made really good hair color but this nourishing line just puts them over the top. The color leaves your hair shiny and soft, while most box colors can have a drying effect on the hair. Overall this is a great product and totally worth it if you are looking for a great box color with awesome payoff.
