About This Shade
Garnier Nutrisse shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), is our deepest burgundy shade in our classic Nutrisse range. It also provides 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Deep Burgundy is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you prefer a different burgundy shade, check out our Ultra Color range: BR2 Dark Intense Burgundy (Passionfruit), and BR3 Intense Burgundy (Lotus Berry). These shades will reflect much more intensely but please note that Ultra Color is not designed for 100% gray coverage. If burgundy isn't for you and you would like to stay in the dark brown range, there are many shades to choose from including 40 Dark Brown (Dark Chocolate), 413 Bronze Brown (Bronze Sugar), 415 Soft Mahogany Brown (Raspberry Truffle), 43 Dark Golden Brown (Cocoa Bean), and 434 Deep Chestnut Brown (Chocolate Chestnut).

For anyone who currently has their hair colored, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 42 for hair that has been previously colored shade 30 Darkest Brown (Sweet Cola) or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

FAQ

What color result can I expect from Deep Burgundy?

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), is our deepest burgundy shade in our classic Nutrisse range. It provides a deep, rich burgundy shade with 100% gray coverage.

Is this shade suitable for my natural hair color?

Deep Burgundy is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you prefer a more intense reflection, you might check out our Ultra Color range, though those shades are not designed for 100% gray coverage.

Can I use this if my hair is already colored dark?

We do not recommend Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42 for hair that has been previously colored with any brand of dark brown or darker. As dark brown is deeper than shade 42, the results of shade 42 will not be visible, as hair color cannot predictably lighten previously colored hair.

How does this hair color nourish my hair?

The formula nourishes as it colors for hair that is 2x shinier and silkier vs. uncolored, unwashed hair. The kit comes with a fruit oil ampoule that you pour directly into the color mixture and an after-color conditioner infused with 5 responsibly-sourced oils: avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils.

Is the application process difficult or messy?

No, our rich, non-drip hair color crème formula spreads easily through all hair for both the first-time user or the user that needs to retouch their roots. It also smells great while you apply it.

    Terrible now 😢😡

    9 days ago
    Terrible!!!! Previously used the Garnier dark red brown and the medium red brown for over 10 years and received continuous compliments UNTIL Garnier discontinued the dark red brown and reformulated the medium rb Sangria which is NOW absolutely terrible!! The crème does NOT mix evenly in the developer at all no matter even if you used an industrial paint mixer. The color now produces orange brassy roots and ruins your hair. The Garnier team that made these changes need to be fired or just CLOSE shop NOW😢😡

    Disappointed with the new color version (enriched)

    2 months ago
    I used this Deep Burgundy color (Nutrisse Garnier no. 42) for many years, and I always got numerous compliments. Recently, the formula has changed to enriched color, and I was very disappointed. The scalp around my hairline remains orange for days, and it's really hard to remove it. Also, the hair color is not what I expected. Instead of the cherry color, it is more orange. Please, please, bring back the old color, the way it was was perfect.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Was fantastic until the formula change! Horrible

    11 months ago
    Have used this color for many years with total satisfaction! Lately something changed aside from the model on the box! It is my understanding that the formula has changed much to my dismay! The new formula dyes my scalp and is not nearly as good as the old formula! I can’t use this product, so I must search for another product unless you resurrect the original formula! If it ain’t broken don’t fix it!
