About Nutrisse Ultra Coverage
Nutrisse Ultra Coverage is the first at-home hair color with CoverPlus Technology, specifically formulated to provide 100% coverage on hard-to-cover, ultra-resistant grays. Deep, neutral pigments penetrate the hair fibers while balanced reflects mimic a natural tone. The kit comes with an ampoule of grape seed oil that nourishes your hair while you color. Ultra Coverage's non-drip formula allows for easy application, while the after-color conditioner is infused with five fruit oils—olive, avocado, coconut, argan, and shea—leaving your hair 2x shinier*, silkier, and more nourished.

*vs. uncolored, unwashed hair.

Garnier Nutrisse Hair Color nourishes while it colors with a rich, non-drip creme formula, and an ampoule of grape seed oil that smells great while you apply.

1) Always do a skin test by following the insert instructions in the kit 48 hours before application.
2) Be sure to apply to dry, unwashed hair.
3) Apply gloves and squeeze colorant (B) into developer bottle (A).
4) Break off the tip and shake the bottle vigorously.
5) Start applying mixture from roots to ends until hair is saturated.
6) Leave formula on for 25 minutes.
7) Massage hair and rinse until water runs clear.
8) Apply Nourishing Conditioner (D) and leave on for two minutes before rinsing out thoroughly.

Tip: Try using Garnier Micellar Water (Waterproof) to remove hair color stains.

Love this color!!

4 years ago
At the age of 56 I am predominately gray... if I allowed it to grow out! But I'm not at the point of my life that I'm ready to do that. My hair WAS a medium brown thru my life. I've tried so many brands and colors before I found the right color at this stage and it was Garnier's dark "natural" blonde. It doesn't turn orange or green as some as the other tones of golden or if I used an ash tone. Only problem was I had to color my hair every 3 weeks. When I saw the new "ultra coverage" it was a game changer! It keeps the gray at bay a lot longer and is so much more natural looking. I absolutely love this one! Unfortunately, it is out of stock everywhere... and I hope and pray it hasn't been discontinued!!

Very Disappointed in this product

6 years ago
Like others have stated, this product did not cover the gray hairs very well at all. I also found after washing my hair only two times, it was as if I never colored my roots at all. No color left on them. Directions were followed exactly! I decided to give this Nutrisse Ultra Coverage 500 Glazed Walnut a try since they state 100 % gray coverage. It certainly does not live up to its name for providing Ultra Coverage. I have colored my gray roots myself many times in the past with other products, but NEVER had this happen. This product might perform well on those who do not have a lot of gray, but for those who have a lot of gray just beware. Very disappointed! Now I have to wait at least four more weeks before applying another haircolor brand to cover these roots up.

glowing roots on grays

I have been using Garnier #600 for YEARS! It was foolproof and looked great. Whatever they have done to this product is horrible. My roots are glowing red and my hair now looks brassy. PLEASE change it back to the original formula. I can no longer use your product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I've used #600 for years, I used to love this product!! The color looked so natural, people were surprised I colored my hair to cover greys. The new formula has a fake orange hue, my hair looks unnatural and cheap. Even the mirror is upset. Why o why did you change the color? I need to go find a new product....sigh.

No, I do not recommend this product.

New Packaging + New Formulary = Green Roots

4 months ago
I have used 200- Deep Soft Black for years. I always buy several boxes at one time. About eight or nine months ago, I noticed the packaging changed along with the formulary. After coloring my hair, my roots turned green. It was awful. Since I used this color for so long, I searched around to find the old packaging so I could buy the old formulation of the 200 - Deep Soft Black. Now, I'm stuck with boxes of the new formulary that I will never use because I turned my roots green.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Colr not as advertised

This is not rocket science but it appears it is to get what you pay for. This made my hair reddish medium brown. Aside from letting it fade, I am not sure how to correct it. Why can't you make a color that turns out the way it shows on the box. The results are extremely disappointing.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Something has changed

9 months ago
I have been using Garnier hair color for 20 years and changed over to the Ultra Coverage about 6 orn8.months ago due to stubborn grays. They have changed the look.of the box and labeling and I'm wondering what they changed about the hair color itself. I colored my hair last week with number 500. First thing I noticed is that its harder to squeeze out, it seems like the cream has gotten thicker. I left it on the 25 minutes and rinsed with cold water, like always. Once it dried I noticed my hair was darker than normal. I waited 3 days to wash my hair with my color treated shampoo. The water that was running off my hair was brown. I thought ok this has never happened before but maybe it was so dark some was washing out. I washed my hair again tonight, 3 nights later, and its still running brown. I don't wash my hair in hot water and use cool water to rinse. I've never had my color run in all the years of using this brand. I don't know what has changed but I'm afraid after all these years I may need to find a different brand of color.

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you have hair that was color treated, no hair dye is strong enough to lighten dyed hair.Naturally black hair is very hard to lighten. The closest you can bring black hair to a blonde is to use the Nutrisse Ultra Color B3, Café con Leche. This high lift color will bring naturally dark hair to a light golden brown. To go any lighter requires a visit to a salon. https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/hair-color/nutrisse-ultra-color/ultra-color-b3-golden-brown

Q: The shade 500 came out much darker then I anticipated. Is there anyway to lighten it or wash it out?

5 years ago

Originally posted on 500 - Deep Medium Natural Brown

1 Answer
  • A: Hi there Mary7890! Unfortunately, dyed hair is much harder to lighten than natural hair. No hair dye is strong enough to lighten artificial pigment. If you applied the dye to previously colored hair for the full 25 minutes then you may be seeing over absorbed pigment. This can look extreme in the beginning. Daily shampooing will gradually work the excess pigment from the hair and slowly lighten it. For faster results, lather, let the shampoo sit a few minutes, rinse and lather a second time. We hope your color lightens for you.

The Nutrisse Light Golden Brown 63 (Brown Sugar) is a classic permanent hair color in a light brown with golden tones that will add warmth to your results and will provide 100% gray coverage. This shade is best for anyone with natural hair between medium blonde and dark brown. The Nutrisse Ultra Coverage Nourishing Color Crème shade 630 - Toffee Nut is also a light brown with gold tones. However, the Ultra Coverage shades are made with denser, more opaque pigments to best cover hard to color stubborn gray and white hair.
