Product Information

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.

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.
