NUTRISSE ULTRA COLOR HL3 - Golden Honey

Is HL3 right for me?
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color HL3, "Golden Honey" was specially designed for women with the darkest natural hair who are looking for dramatic lift. It can lift up to 4 levels without bleach and creates a warm light brown to dark blonde result. The kit also includes a custom applicator tip to help with all-over application or to help you create special effects.

HL3 is for you if you begin with dark brown to light brown hair. If your hair is darkest brown or black, HL2 or HL1 might be a better option for you.

We do not recommend HL3 for bleached, highlighted, or predominantly gray hair, due to the lifting ability of this shade.

How is it different? Nutrisse Ultra Color has color-boost technology that nourishes while it dramatically lifts even the darkest hair. No bleach!

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. 

With the NEW Garnier® Nutrisse® Ultra Color High Lift collection you can achieve an all-over lighter look or create the latest on-trend personalized lightening effects. Ultra Color High Lifts are offered in 3 warm shades: Bright Toffee (HL1), Warm Caramel (HL2), and Golden Honey (HL3), so you can get the best end result based on your natural starting point.

Not recommended for bleached, highlighted or predominantly gray hair.

Explore the range of looks achievable with this collection:

FULL HEAD APPLICATION
The Look: All-over lightening delivering up to 4 levels of lift.
Best for: Women who want to lighten hair all over, have never colored hair or have not colored in over 3 months.
Applicator: Standard applicator tip.
Directions:
1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair.
2. Make ¼ inch parts through hair and use applicator tip to spread mixture through hair lengths to the ends, avoiding the root area.
3. After you are finished applying, begin timing and follow rinsing instructions in kit.

HIGHLIGHTS/STREAKS
The Look: Timeless highlights/streaks.
Best for: Women who want to lighten selected pieces up to 4 levels on hair that has not been previously colored.
Applicator: Brush head included.
Directions:
1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair and part hair where you typically style.
2. Pick where you would like to color. Pin up hair with non-metallic clip if you would like to color sections in the back to underneath your top layer.
3. Lift the piece of hair you would like to color.
4. While gently squeezing the bottle, brush product through sectioned piece of hair, making sure it is fully coated. Lay the strand down gently and start on a new piece.
5. For the best results, work from side to side of head and leave space between streaks. This will help ensure you have streaks on both sides (front & back) that are evenly spaced.
TIP: Be sure not to place the streaks too close together - the result will look solid - space the streaks out so you have light pieces next to natural hair pieces in your end result.
6. Once bottom layer is complete, gently drop another section of hair from the clip while being careful that you do not go into the highlights underneath when combing the hair into place. Then, repeat the application.
7. Continue to drop sections until mixture has been applied to all layers of hair.
8. After you are finished applying, begin timing and follow rinsing instructions in kit.

BRONDE
The Look: A shade that’s not blonde or brunette, but somewhere in between. It delivers a little edge to natural brown hair, brightening up your look.
Best for: Women who are looking to create a low maintenance flattering on-trend look by adding layers of slightly lighter strands to hair.
Applicator: Brush head included or standard applicator tip.
Directions:
1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair and part hair where you typically style.
2. Pick where your Bronde look will start near the root area of your hair.
3. Using a non-metallic clip, clip hair up, leaving the bottom layer free.
4. Gently squeeze bottle 2-3 inches from the root area of hair while brushing through desired area making sure hair sections are saturated and close to one another.
5. Once bottom layer is complete, drop another section of hair from the clip while being careful when combing the hair into place that you do not comb into the previous section that has color and repeat brushing through desired area until you reach the top layer.
6. Continue to drop sections until mixture has been applied to all layers of hair.
7. After you are finished applying, begin timing and follow rinsing instructions in kit.

OMBRE
The Look: A dramatic coloring effect, the Ombre look is darkest at the roots and then lighter from the mid-lengths to tips.
Best for: Women who are looking for a more noticeable color effect by seeking to lighten ends up to 4 levels on hair that does not have color.
Applicator: Brush head included.
Directions:
1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair and part hair where you typically style.
2. Pick where your Ombre look will start to customize your look.
Note: Typically Ombre starts toward the middle area of the hair strand so you can see the line between darker and lighter hair.
3. Using a non-metallic clip, clip hair up, leaving the bottom layer free.
4. Gently squeeze bottle while brushing through desired starting area making sure hair is saturated.
5. Make sure to fully cover tips while adding product at the same level across sections. The goal is to have all lightened pieces be solid with no breaks for contrast and have the darker pieces create a line at the same height, so make sure to color the hair or comb the hair close together to create a solid look.
6. Once bottom layer is complete, drop another section of hair from the clip and repeat brushing through desired area starting at the same point so you can create an even line between colored and uncolored hair.
7. Continue to drop sections until mixture has been applied to all layers of hair.
8. After you are finished applying, begin timing and follow rinsing instructions in kit.

SOMBRE
The Look: Sombre is an evolution of an Ombre that gives a more gradual fade between your dark base and light mid-lengths and tips.
Best for: Women who want a soft gradation between dark roots and lightened ends with 4 level lift on hair that does not have color, a change that looks so small but makes a big difference, yet does not demand upkeep.
Applicator: Brush head included.
Directions:
1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair and part hair where you typically style.
2. Pick where your Sombre look will start along the lengths of your hair.
Note: As Sombre is characterized as a more subtle look than Ombre, you can start closer to your roots in the upper area of hair.
3. Using a non-metallic clip, clip hair up, leaving the bottom layer free.
4. Gently squeeze bottle while brushing through desired area making sure strands are not too close to one another.
5. To create the gradation, as you drop your layers, make sure some face framing pieces start closer to the root area.
6. Once bottom layer is complete, gently drop another section of hair from the clip while being careful as you comb the hair into place before application. Then, repeat brushing through desired area leaving spaces in between for added dimension.
7. Continue to drop sections until mixture has been applied to all layers of hair.
8. After you are finished applying, begin timing and follow rinsing instructions in kit.

4. While gently squeezing the bottle, apply the product through sectioned pieces of hair with the applicator tip, making sure it is fully coated. Lay the strand down gently and start on a new piece.
5. For the best results, work from side to side of head and leave space between streaks. This will help ensure you have streaks on both sides (front & back) that are evenly spaced.

1. Apply on dry, detangled, unwashed hair and part hair where you typically style.
2. Using a non-metallic clip, clip hair up, leaving the bottom layer free.
3. First, for this bottom layer only, decide where your Ombre will start. 4. Gently squeeze the bottle of your Nutrisse® shade of choice, while applying through the midsection of hair.
