Love the color

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!

only dyed my roots

I purchased the Nutrisse Ultra Color B3 Golden Brown for my very dark hair. According to the box it would make my dark hair much lighter. I had dyed my hair nearly black (by accident) months ago and finally decided it was time to go back to my natural light brown hair color.
I followed the instructions and after rinsing out my hair and towel drying it I noticed that my roots were extremely light (the exact color on the box) but the rest of my hair was STILL DARK!
Now my hair looks really ugly and I will have to dye my entire head dark again :( I don't have money to be wasting on the salon and I was hoping that this product would lighten my hair.
I wouldn't waste time buying this product again. If you have dark hair and want it lighter I suggest saving your money and going to a professional. This hair dye does NOT do it's job. I'm very disappointed...

Not violet

Turned my hair red instead of purple. Originally had a purple hair dye that faded out and applied this directly on top. No previous bleach. If you're looking for an actual purple, this is not the one.

I fought for a year to get red out of my hair after a bad extension situation and finally got my hair back to purple. Got this as a more permanent solution for my purple and it turned my hair red. Now i have to go through the process all over again Quit selling this as purple when it is not!

Does not cover grays!
2 months ago
Very disappointed in this product. The smell is extremely strong, my hair even after applying the conditioner that comes with the box of color was falling out in clumps. This absolutely DOES NOT COVER GRAYS! I used the deep violet color and my roots are an awkward shiny pink and the rest of my hair looks brown no hint of purple let alone intense violet. The product raves about it's amazing gray coverage on the box but don't be fooled you're going to walk around looking like a circus clown. I followed the instructions exactly as they were printed. Do yourself a favor and buy a more expensive product that actually delivers on it's promises. I only bought this because my usual brand was out of stock. Never again that's for sure!
I have been using this hair dye for over a decade becasue it used to be the only red hair dye you could easily buy at the drug store that didn't fade after 2 weeks. Sadly, they must have reformulated and that is no longer the case. Now I have to look for new hair color again.
My hair is box dyed dark brown but I hadn’t colored it in six months so my roots were super black.. Then I finally decided to try this hair color box in B3 and absolutely loved it! Its like a dark caramel or a soft brown shade it even color the rest of my hair that was already colored. But I cant find it in Walgreens aymore please bring it back!
As I was making it was more red. After washing out i can tell more red. After see more views an pictures. Im not seeing purple as shown on box. Same reviews say same things. Not a bad color only give it 2 stars cause it not purple as told on box. No where near.
Used thos to do a peekaboo on my daughter's very long, very straight, very dark and virgin hair. Followed directions precisely. Did the roots last and set for an additional 10 min. No overpowering smell, no burning. I did use foils since it was sectioned, and it turned out beautiful than I expected. Definitely lifted 8 shades. 4 stars instead of 5 because for the bits that I did, I used an entire box. Conditioner is very blue but doesnt stain skin, and smells fantastic. Best product from this brand ive ever used.
Q: I have heavy iron deposits in my hair from well water, that turns my white/gray hair orange and yellow. Will the maximum lightening cream remove those colors?

Q: How will this work on salt and pepper gray hair, is there something I should use instead to be blonde. I want the pepper to look like lowlights/highlights.
A: Hi Kallie, Thanks for reaching out! Nutrisse LB1 is best for anyone looking to achieve a cooler-toned blonde with natural hair between medium blonde and medium brown. We do not recommend this shade for hair that has been previously bleached, highlighted, or predominantly gray. Please do a strand test to preview your color. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!
