About This Shade
If you’re looking for a creamy caramel golden brown hair dye with intense and warm caramel reflects, Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color B4 Golden Mahogany Brown is a top contender. Nicknamed Caramel Chocolate hair color, this shade does wonders on all hair textures.
Is This Shade Right For Me?
B4 is best for anyone with natural hair between dark blonde and darkest brown. For a slight lighter brown in the Ultra Color range, check out our vibrant Spiced Rum shade.
For those who currently have color-treated hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend B4 for hair that has been previously colored medium brown or darker. We also do not recommend using this shade on hair that has previously been relaxed, bleached, or highlighted.

How to Apply Nutrisse Ultra Color
Step 1: Allergy Test
48 hours before each use of the product, complete an allergy alert test, even if you have used hair color products before.
Step 2: Preparation
Place a towel around your shoulders, remove any jewelry, and put on the gloves. Open the color crème tube and screw the cap back on completely to pierce the tube.
Step 3: Combine
Squeeze the entire contents of the ampoule and color crème tube into the applicator bottle.
Step 4: Shake
Shake the mixture for 30 seconds to mix evenly. Break off the tip of the applicator to start applying. Use immediately after mixing. Do not store mixed color.

Leave the formula on your hair for 30 minutes, or 35 minutes if you have a lot of grays.
Application Option 2: Root Retouch
Begin with your roots by using the bottle to separate the hair section by section and applying the colorant. Leave the formula on your hair roots for 20 minutes, or 25 minutes if you have a lot of grays.
After the time has passed, apply the formula through the lengths and ends of your hair. Massage well to ensure the colorant is evenly spread. Leave the formula on your hair for an additional 5-10 minutes. Blend well where new growth meets previously colored hair to avoid banding.
Don't Forget to Rinse & Condition!
Whether applying Nutrisse Ultra Color on your full head or for a Root Retouch, your final step should always be to rinse and condition.
Apply water to your hair and gently massage to emulsify the colorant. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Apply the silicone-free conditioner and leave on for 2-3 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and dry your hair. Style your hair the way you like it and admire your new radiant look.

Q: I usually use Acorn #60 to color my hair. It covers my grays, but I would like to go a little lighter. Can I do this with Bright Toffee HL1?
5 years agoOriginally posted on HL1 - Bright Toffee
- A: Hi there Gin71! The Nutrisse Ultra Color HL1, ""Bright Toffee"" 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 rich, bronze result. HL1 is for you if you begin with naturally black to medium brown hair. However, if you need to cover gray hair, a high lift color like this won’t give you any gray coverage. To go one shade lighter than Nutrisse acorn # 60, use the dark blonde # 70 for your next touch up. This color is one shade lighter and will cover the gray.5 years agoHelpful?
Q: I was expecting a nice golden brown color and what I got was horrible!!! My hair is poop brown and I’m embarrassed to let anyone see me !!! What can I do to fix this disaster???
