My natural color is black, but I have some gray hair, the result was amazing as my grays turn into a platinum shade, and the black turn into a light brown shade, so it looks like i got highlights. I’m very please with the results, I highly recommend these product.

Definitely not “Caramelo Brown”

9 months ago
I followed the directions stated from the instructions. Left the color on for 45 minutes, instead of a light brown… it turned my hair bright orange!! Even after using the anti brass conditioner for over 20 minutes, it didn’t do nothing!!! I would not recommend this for anyone with natural black hair! Would recommend L’Oreal Hicolors.

The dye is long lasting and gentle to hair.

13 days ago
The dye stuck well to my hair even after several washes. It did not stain my scalp or bleed into my clothes and hands as badly as some other dyes I have tried before. Overall the development of the dye settling into my hair turned out really well!

Affordable price but result may vary depending on

a month ago
I have not dyed my hair for over the last 8 years since I like keeping my orginal black hair. This time I tried Garnier Nutrisse Caramel Blonde hair color to give my hair a new and impressive color but the result was not as I expected. This hair color is affordable and Garnier is a very popular brand in hair care. I’ve used several of their products before, so I felt comfortable trying this product, and overall the process was pretty simple. The instruction steps were clear and easy to follow, even if you’re coloring your hair at home by yourself. I also like that my hair didn’t shed much after coloring compared with some other dyes I’ve used, so it didn’t feel overly harsh or too chemical-heavy. The downside is that the final color was not what I expected. Instead of a true caramel blonde, my hair turned more like a light brown with reddish/wine tones, especially under light. It definitely came out lighter and warmer than the shade shown on the box. Another thing is the ammonia smell was quite strong during application, so make sure you are in an open room or you should wear a mask during the process. Overall, it’s budget-friendly option and easy to use, but the color result may vary a lot depending on your starting hair color.

I received this as a free sample for my honest opinion. I was very happy with the easy to follow instructions and everything I needed in one small box. The color lasted a long time and my hair felt soft and had a great shine.

  • A: Hi MsOrtiz87, You generally should wash out old demi-permanent color before applying permanent color. Demi-permanent colors sit more on the surface; washing removes these deposits so the permanent color can adhere properly and give true results. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!
