About This Shade
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color, Ultra Light Natural Blonde (Piña Colada), is specially formulated to provide up to 4 levels of lift without bleach.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Our LB2 hair dye is best for anyone looking to achieve a natural-toned blonde with natural hair between medium blonde and light brown. For other blonde reflects, check out LB1 Ultra Light Cool Blonde (Calla Lily).

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 LB2 for hair that has been colored dark blonde or darker. Not recommended for bleached, highlighted, relaxed, or predominantly gray hair. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

Love the color

12 years ago
I used this color a few weeks ago. My hair is naturally dark brown. Looking at the box, I expected a light blonde color. However, with my hair being so dark, it did not come out that way. HOWEVER, my hair came out a color that I don't think I could ever find anywhere else. I love the color it became! I think the more I use this color, I will either have lighter hair over time or it will stay the same color that I actually love now!

Barely lightens

I have medium brown hair, used as directed, only lifted 4 levels. Not even close to platinum let alone light blonde. Although, it left my hair with no breakage or dry ends. Still satisfied as it did lift evenly and my hair looks great and it's healthy.

Very poor lift.

18 days ago
I bought this brand instead of my usual blonde lightning product. I read that it was more gentle on hair. However, any of the many hair lighteners/ bleach I have tried over the years, this one is the absolute worst. My roots had only grown out a little and they were medium brown. I followed the directions explicitly and my roots still turned out completely orange. This is even after washing it and using the antipress toner. This brand seems to be considerably weaker than any other brand I've bought even though it says it lifts up to eight levels (which is what I normally buy). Is nowhere near listening? Is five levels after the allotted time. I will have to wait several days and then purchase another brand. Continue the lightning process and not damage my hair any further. I do not recommend this product at all. Complete waste of money

No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing bleach

2 months ago
This bleach was amazing I have bleached my hair multiple times before trying to go blonde but never could with other products because it would fry my hair off before I could get there but this product did not do that at all I went from splat fire engine red to blonde so fast with all of my hair intact I did use color oops first and it did remove most of the the color but was still very orange and brown so I used this bleach two different times and it was amazing I do recommend having two bottles on hand especially if you have thicker hair because I did not have enough the first round but overall amazing product if done correctly and very happy with the results

Yes, I recommend this product.

$509.99 box of hair dye

Turned out splotchy, checkered, uneven (about 4-5 different shades) and all-around terrible. I read through the directions before I started and followed them exactly. I also combed my hair to help distribute the product evenly. And yet, I’ll be paying $500 for a color correction. The stylist tells me she’d normally think user error except all the different shades isn’t something she normally sees and thinks it must have been a bad box. And considering this is far from my first bathroom bleach job, I’d have to agree. At least my hair didn’t burn off, I guess? Buyer beware, though—you might not be so “lucky.”

No, I do not recommend this product.

      • A: Hi Judi42. Thank you for reaching out to Garnier regarding the Nutrisse PL3 haircolor. This product will lighten naturally darkest brown hair but it does not have the strength to lighten dark color treated hair to the color it shows on the box. If you have a brown color in your hair and you want to get very light blonde, you will have to strip the dark haircolor out of your hair first.

        • A: Hi SxiGrama, HOW TO USE Applying Nutrisse: Nourished Hair means Better Color Garnier Nutrisse Hair Color nourishes while it colors with a rich, non drip creme formula, and with an ampoule of grape seed oil, it smells great while you apply. Follow this step-by-step process when applying color at home: PREP & MIX: 1) Always do a skin test 48 hours before. 2) Apply to dry, unwashed and detangled hair. 3) Apply gloves, squeeze colorant (tube b) into developer bottle (a). 4) Remove flat cap from Creme Developer Bottle. 5) Shade Bleaching Powder to loosen content and pour into Developer Bottle. 6) Screw flat cap onto Developer bottle. Point bottle away from face and shake well. 7) Remove cap of Lightening Creme and squeeze content into Developer Bottle. Screw flat cap onto Developer Bottle and shake well. 8) Immediately remove flat cap once the bleach mixture is creamy. Discard flat cap and replace with pointed applicator cap. Twist off the tip of the pointed applicator cap. CAUTION: Always shake Developer bottle with the flat cap on for optimal mixing results. Never leave flat cap on after mixing is complete. The container may burst. Never leave tip of the applicator cap unopened after mixing. The container may burst. ALL OVER APPLICATION WHEN YOU NEVER BLEACHED YOUR HAIR: LIGHTEN LENGTHS FIRST 1) Beginning 1 inch below root area, spread mixture evenly through mid-lengths and ends. 2) Leave mixture on for 20-30 minutes. 3) Save some lightening mixture for root area. LIGHTEN ROOTS 4) Apply remaining mixture to root area and saturate completely. 5) Leave on for an additional 20 minutes. Total timing should not exceed 60 minutes PRO TIP 1: work in sections so you don't miss a spot. PRO TIP 2: after applying and timing, wipe away a small amount o mixture to check your roots. If you want to go lighter, reapply and leave for 5 more minutes. Repeat as needed. TOUCH-UP APPLICATION FOR PREVIOUSLY BLEACHED HAIR: 1) Apply to new growth only. Making 1/4 inch parts with the applicator tip. 2) Repeat until all roots are saturated. Thick coating should be visible and evenly distributed throughout regrowth areas. 3) Leave mixture on for 30-60 minutes according to your lightening preview test. Total timing should not exceed 60 minutes RINSE & CONDITION: 1) Rinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear. 2) Apply Fortifying Anti-Brass Conditioner and leave on for five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. 3) Save some Fortifying Anti-Brass Conditioner to keep hair strong, healthy, and control brass 1-2 weeks after application. Hope this is helpful!

          • A: Hi there Luna67, we can see you want to lighten the dyed hair. The Ultra Color Charcoal Bleach PL3 Ultra Cool Platinum is our most dramatic lightening kit and is best for anyone with natural light brown to very dark hair. Unfortunately, dyed hair is much harder to lighten than natural hair. No hair dye is strong enough to lighten dyed hair. This kit will likely lighten the hair a bit but the results will likely be red. For more help, please call our 800# to speak to one of our haircolor specialists.
