Nutrisse Ultra Crème 70 is a permanent dark blonde hair dye from Garnier that nourishes as it colors, leaving hair silkier with 2x* the shine compared to uncolored, unwashed hair. Our ColorBoost Technology drives rich pigments deep into the cortex for 100% gray coverage and long-lasting, radiant color that typically lasts 4–6 weeks depending on wash frequency and hair porosity. The creamy formula is mixed with a fruit-oil ampoule and followed by a silicone-free after-color conditioner infused with five responsibly sourced oils—avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea.

*Compared to uncolored, unwashed hair

Note: Results and longevity can vary based on starting level and hair porosity; for the most natural hair dye result, choose a shade close to your current level (light blonde to medium brown).

About This Hair Dye Shade
Try Drew Barrymore’s favorite shade! Garnier Nutrisse 70 Dark Natural Blonde (Almond Crème) is a pure natural dark blonde permanent hair dye in our Nutrisse Color Crème range. It is one shade lighter than Nutrisse Ultra Crème 60 Light Natural Brown (Acorn) and provides 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Shade 70 Natural Dark Blonde hair color (Almond Crème) lets your natural tones shine through. It is best for anyone with natural hair between light blonde and medium brown. If you’re looking for a lighter shade with the same natural reflections, try Ultra Crème shade 80 Medium Natural Blonde (Butternut). To stay in the dark blonde range and explore other reflections and tones, you have many options like 73 Dark Golden Blonde (Honey Dip). Prefer a cooler result? Explore dark ash blonde options in our Shade Selector to help neutralize warmth.

If your hair is already color-treated, there may be special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Shade 70 Dark Natural Blonde hair dye is not recommended for hair that is already colored in Ultra Crème 50 Medium Natural Brown (Truffle) or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you! If your starting level is dark brown to black, this shade will not lift to dark blonde; pre-lightening may be required before applying.

Watch our how-to video starring Drew Barrymore, or follow the step-by-step process below:

1. PREP
Start with dry, unwashed hair. Perform an allergy test 48 hours before coloring. Drape a towel and put on gloves. Squeeze the color crème into the applicator bottle (developer), then add the fruit-oil concentrate. Replace the cap, cover the tip, and shake until fully blended.

2. APPLY & DYE
For all-over dark natural blonde hair: Apply at the roots in sections. (You can use the nozzle like a tail comb.) Work into your roots with fingers, then saturate the lengths and ends.
For a dark natural blonde root touchup: Separate hair into sections as you apply color to new growth, targeting any stubborn grays.

3. PROCESS
Clip hair up and process for 25–30 minutes (use the full 30 minutes for resistant grays).

4. RINSE, CONDITION, STYLE
Add a little warm water to emulsify, then rinse until the water runs clear. Apply the silicone-free after-color conditioner with five fruit oils and leave on 2–5 minutes. Rinse well, gently towel-dry, and style. No need to shampoo after coloring.

Drew Barrymore uses Nutrisse Ultra Crème Shade 70 for nourished hair and better color.

“It’s no secret that I’ve been a Nutrisse user for years. I’m excited to expand my role with Garnier and share my love of Nutrisse Nourishing Color Crème. I’ve been just about every hair color under the sun, and the updated formula provides a fab shade that cares while it colors and is so easy to master on your own. My favorite is shade 70 because it's super rich and covers my grays.”

Beware of the ORANGE in the new formula!!!

7 years ago
I agree with the others. The previous formula 111 Extra Light Ash Blonde was perfect. This new White Chocolate turned my blonde hair the most disgusting and embarrassing ORANGE!Beware!!! I never had this happen before they changed it. It is not simply an image on the box change. I had to go get a salon color correction and it took 3 visits to get all the orange out. I'm out as a customer forever!

Hi HellenH! We apologize you were not satisfied with the results you achieved with Nutrisse Ultra Creme, 80-Medium Natural Blonde. 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. All natural haircolor that is darker than pale blonde has red and gold pigments. When you lighten your natural color, these warm gold and red pigments are revealed. When it's time to do your retouch choose a shade with "Ash" to minimize the warm undertones. For e.g. Ash Blonde, Medium Ash Blonde, Dark Ash Blonde!

New formula is very yellowy and very unattractive

8 months ago
This color was reformulated . The new 'richer color' makes one's hair very yellow-ish. It is vastly different and much less flattering than the original white chocolate. Why do companies want to sabotage their own successful products? I do not and will not buy this anymore.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Best hair color ever!!!!

9 months ago
I am new to Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Cream, I’ve used L’Oréal for years, but now I can not, their formula is not thick rich and creamy…it is thin and runny and drips!!! I read some great reviews about Garnier and thought I would try it! I have light golden blonde hair but with gray hair coming in thought I’d go lighter!!! I love the results of using the (100) Extra Light Natural Blonde!!! I have had so many compliments on my new color and my thin fine hair feels great…like it has more body!!!! Thanks so much for your fabulous hair color!!!! I’m a forever fan!!!! Teresa

Change 82 back please!

9 months ago
Why was shade 82 changed?! It was perfect, as it processed it had green tones which I loved because it canceled out warmer tones but now it’s more violet and it doesn’t even match the rest of my hair! I’ve used that color for years and now I have to go find a new color. My touch up looks horrible now and have to spend more money to fix it

No, I do not recommend this product.

  • A: Hi there! We hear your frustration loud and clear, and I can only imagine how upsetting it must be when a beloved product you've relied on for two decades suddenly changes and no longer delivers the results you expect. To have your hair, which you've cared for with a specific shade for so long, feel "ruined" is truly a distressing experience. It's completely understandable that you feel so strongly about this and want the original "82 Champagne" back. We will report your feedback to our teams!

                • A: Hi joymay! Thank you for your interest in Nutrisse Ultra Creme, 93-Light Golden Blonde. A very long time ago we offered a product that has been discontinued now for quite some time! It was called 100% Color and there was a shade, 913-Light Beige Blonde. Regretfully we do not have a comparable shade to recommend. Nutrisse Ultra Creme, 93-Light Golden Blonde, is a much warmer shade. To determine if this is the right shade for your hair type, please check the shade selection guide on the box, to see if your natural hair color is one of the three before pics. If you are not one of the three, your result will vary!
