About This Shade
Garnier Nutrisse shade 50 Medium Natural Brown (Truffle) is a neutral medium brown permanent at-home hair dye with no visible warm or cool reflects, designed to let your natural hair tones show through while delivering 100% gray coverage. It also provides 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Shade 50 is best for natural hair from dark blonde to darkest brown. On light brown hair color, expect a soft, neutral medium brown; on darkest brown hair, expect tone-on-tone coverage rather than lightening. This is a permanent color, not a semi permanent hair color. If you prefer a lighter natural result, try Light Natural Brown 60 (Acorn). For one shade darker, try Dark Brown 40 (Dark Chocolate). To stay in the medium brown family with different reflects, consider 51 Medium Ash Brown (Cool Tea) for cool tones, 53 Medium Golden Brown (Chestnut) for warm golden tones, 535 Medium Golden Mahogany (Chocolate Caramel) for warm mahogany, or 56 Medium Reddish Brown (Sangria) for a red reflect.

For anyone who currently has color treated hair, there are special considerations for the color results you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 50 for hair that has been previously colored Darkest Brown 30 (Sweet Cola) or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you! Always perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before coloring and a strand test to preview results.

If your goal is to blend first grays or achieve 100% gray coverage with a balanced tone, choose a Natural shade like 50 Medium Natural Brown.

About Nutrisse
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Nourishing Permanent Color is an at-home Garnier Nutrisse hair color that nourishes as it colors for hair that looks 2x shinier and feels silkier vs. uncolored, unwashed hair. Each kit includes a fruit oil ampoule you pour directly into the mix and a silicone-free after-color conditioner infused with five responsibly sourced oils—avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea—in a vegan formula. Our ColorBoost Technology efficiently infuses ultra-pigmented dyes into the hair fiber for rich, radiant, long-lasting color with 100% gray coverage, even on resistant grays.

Click here to learn more about what “natural origin” and “naturally derived ingredients” mean.

Our rich, non-drip hair color crème formula spreads easily through hair and smells great while you apply it. The hair dye kit includes everything you need: nourishing color crème, crème developer, fruit oil ampoule, silicone-free after-color conditioner, and the instruction sheet. Follow the instruction sheet for the step-by-step process or watch our how-to video featuring Drew Barrymore.

Before you begin, perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before each use and a strand test to preview results.

For first-time all-over application, apply to roots, then through lengths and ends as directed in the instruction sheet.

For root touch-ups, apply to new growth first; refresh lengths only for the last minutes as directed. For resistant grays (e.g., temples), saturate thoroughly and process for the full time indicated in the insert.

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!

No, I do not recommend this product.

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!

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.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Dark brown made my roots golden blonde

6 months ago
The 40 dark brown LIGHTENED my hair. It made my roots become golden blonde. I thought that I got a bad box, so I bought another. The same thing happened. I was suspicious when the color in the cup didn't turn dark upon oxygenating, but I used it anyway. Why Is there lightener in a dark brown 40? I didn't keep my receipts as hair dye isn't returnable. These dark brown 40 boxes are all incorrectly labeled, or your formula is bad.

Very happy with results

Loved the color. My natural color is clear silver meaning the hair shaft is almost transparent. Been coloring my hair for years and tried 50- medium natural brown nutrisse for the 1st time. I wanted a natural med brown and thats what i got Have washed 3 times so far and it has gotten slightly lighter but it is still natural looking med brown. I did wash my hair right after i used the dye that may have removed some of the darkness but i am very satified with the product. Will be trying Olia med next because my hair is on the dry side.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Deceiving picture

I used this 43 - Dark Golden Brown. My hair took on a redder hue. Didn't like the end result. The picture on the box showed a more cooler tone of hair so that's what I was hoping for. I got an aurburn - redding tone. I normally like and use this product line because it doesn't dry or burn my hair. The avocado oil and the conditioner are great! I also was using the 50 Med Ash for a long time. Just dissapointed on this #43

I am Asian with dark brown/black hair. My white hairs exploded in my early 50's. The first product I used was "black", but it looked too black. So, I went dark brown only. It lightens my hair a little. My hair looks fabulous! I only use the "dark brown" only. It lightens my hair a little instead of the jet-black look.

It made my hair dry, had to cut it off, smell is bad, made my beauticians arns break out, how many more bad reviews, and since you are holding on to all the old formula reviews to up the score that is completely misleading, not the same results at all.

Hi MADD. Thank you for reaching out to Garnier regarding the Nutrisse haircolor in shade #43, Dark Golden Brown.

Not the same as it used to be!!!

a year ago
I have been using this one for many years because it was so close to the original color of my hair and it was always silky. I get the ash to keep out the red, but it still has a red tint to my hair. Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed the change. There are way too many complaints on this site for the same color. It doesn't cover my gray, as well as it used to cover it. I use the color protected shampoo and conditioner, and I still have to color every 3 weeks now.

Terrible since change to formula

a year ago
I've uses this brand and shade for many years, but since the recent change to the formula, the color no longer takes to my hair. It also doesn't even smell like hair dye anymore. I can see all of my roots and greys within a week of coloring my hair and I unfortunately have to change to purchasing another brand. Please change the formula back, the new one is utterly useless!

Not the same!!

a year ago
Since reformulation, I've been so disappointed. 63, brown sugar was literally the PERFECT color after years of searching. This new reformulation is not the same color. It's a peachy orange tint that I hate. It also does NOT cover my greys as well and I can't leave it on any longer to make up for that. I'm actively searching other brands to find something really close- because this ISN'T IT.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Favorite Shade!

a year ago
I am reviewing the newest formula of Nutrisse, which is thicker, and develops green in the bottle (I guess because of the avocado in the formula?). I used "Brown Sugar-Light Golden Brown" in the previous formula as well, and IMO the color came out the same. There are terrible reviews on Garnier's site, stating that the new formula is lighter and more orange, but that didn't happen to me (YMMV). The issue people may be having, is that the picture of the model on the box is nothing like the actual color results. This shade always came out a natural light auburn on me, which is why I love it, and it does with the new formula as well. It's not light golden brown , it's light golden auburn. The formula is definitely thicker....maybe too thick (I actually squirted a tiny bit of shampoo in the bottle to make it more runny), however the previous formula did drip too much. I didn't drip a single drop of this new formula! The instructions state to leave on for 30 minutes now, instead of 25, but I left it on for 25 minutes. I did 25 minutes on my mids and ends, and the last 15 minutes on my roots (to avoid hot roots), and my results were even and perfect! I don't have gray to color, but I am coloring over previously stripped/blonde ends, that don't hold color well, and Nutrisse has done the best job so far giving me even results.

Yes, I recommend this product.

new formula horrible

I used the old version for many years, while waiting in the expensive salon other patrons would come up and compliment my hair color, then you changed the formula. WHY??? my hair was ruined after using the new one, the ultra. Had to have six inches cut off. well, tomorrow is my birthday and I found a box of the old one number 50, just did my hair, once again it is like silk, PLEASE bring back the ORIGINAL formula.

Will not recommend

a year ago
I have natural red undertones in my hair, so went with #61 since it appeared to match my natural brown hair color. I haven’t dyed my hair in 20 years so I was quite shocked to see my hair dyed a copperish color! Apparently someone forgot to add the Ash in this ash brown color. Sadly, after I give my hair a resting period, I will have to try using hair dye from another company and hope the copper color is covered up. Also it did not cover up my fly away greys.

The worst hair dye I’ve ever tried in my life

a year ago
Wish I could rate this -1000. Gave me the worst copper and orange red roots and turned the rest of my hair very dark. Tried to neutralize it with a medium ash brown and the roots didn’t budge at all. This absolutely destroyed my hair. Don’t even know how I’m going to fix this. Please for the love of god do not get this hair dye.

No, I do not recommend this product.

      Q: Why did you change the #50? I hate red! Natural brown should not have any red in it. Red is next to impossible yo get rid of. It will take forever to grow this shade out. Not soft and silky anymore either. When a color is perfect, what screw it up?
