Im only 15 and my mom was superrrrr nervous putting in this color. We were both afraid of how it would turn out. but IT LOOKS AMAZING :) The only thing i would change is that the color bleeds... a whole lot. i wear a white school uniform. horrible mistake. its been alomost 3 weeks and the water in my color still doesnt run clear. im also too afraid to go swimming. other than that i get SO many compliments on it. Im dying it again soon :) it also fades too fast for my taste.

Turned my hair Black!!!!!
AmandaF
12 years ago
I purchased the B2R Dark intense burgundy hair color yesterday for the simple fact that I wanted a change. My natural hair color is medium to dark brown. This color says it is specifically for darker hair... I followed all directions as written in the box, washed the color off after 25 minutes and my hair is NOT "intense auburn" by ANY means... My hair is now BLACK! The only thing it turned even a hint of red it my scalp! I did not want my hair to be black. If I wanted black hair I would have bought black hair color! Plain and simple, I'm highly upset and now that my hair is black, there is nothing I can do without paying a professional to strip all color out of my hair. which I do not have the money to do... Please see the pictures attached below of before and after... Thanks..

Did almost nothing to my daughter's black hair. You could *kind of* see a burgundy tint in the sunshine.

Hi there sarakins, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're sorry to hear that the BR2 - Dark Intense Burgundy didn't show up as vibrantly as you and your daughter hoped. Hair coloring is a fascinating science! When applying a burgundy shade to naturally black hair, the result is going to look more like a 'tone-on-tone' effect. Because black hair is naturally packed with deep pigments, it is difficult to lighten or lift the rich dark pigments enough to see the vibrant red and burgundy tones. That is why the beautiful burgundy shade is most visible when the light hits it in the sunshine!

Love this color! Never discontinue it please!!
28 days ago
Legitimately my favorite hair color of all time. Naturally medium brown hair and this color gives me the Perfect red. My one issue is it's so hard to find :'( the past few months it hasn't been in any of the stores near me and I can barely even find it online. When I find it I buy at least 2 to 3 boxes at a time and I think I had a breakdown last time I had to dye my hair a different color. Please never stop making this color I will go with it.
My favorite shade! I get SO many compliments from others about it, too. I love that it doesn't fade to copper like a lot of other reds do. Quite frankly, I am lazy and will let my roots grow out a looooong time past due. But even when I haven't colored in a few months I still loved the color
This color is good but the new conditioner container is not great. It’s hard to get the condition out.
I used to use raspberry but when the packaging changed recently, the colour was very different and looked more like firy red. This is why I’m now using cherry.
I just wished the conditioner didn’t change.
Hi Jull, Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding the conditioner. We appreciate your comments, and we will be passing this along for consideration. Thanks for letting us know!

New garnier formula is not good
8 months ago
The R3 light intense auburn was so much better with the old formula so disappointed they changed it to this new ultra whatever color it’s too red not even a light auburn looking color Anymore use the old R3 for years and now I had no choice but to switch and look for my old R3 in different brands sooooo far it’s going on a year and still can’t find anything close to there old brand colors so I OFFICIALLY GIVE UP ON GARNIER BRAND after trying multiple different of there now new formula colors it’s a bummer they had the formula so well and they changed it on us it’s not even remotely close to the colors it was before there so ugly now

so i wanted to dye my hair red.. i dyed my hair this color thinking it would be like cute. BUT NO!!! even tho i used the whole thing and applied it EVERYWHERE it was patchy, only the ends and my roots were dyed red.. and the color!! it was UGLY! i did save it by dying my hair a brown a couple days later, it still stayed but it wasnt as bad. its cute fadded tho, my hair is a copper orange now and it wasnt a golden brown before. overall i dont recommend this for people who have brown hair and arent willing to bleach it before.

Q: Does this color lighten your natural hair as it dyes? Like, does it lift a level or two as the red is deposited? Or is it only red pigment in the dye?
Q: hello i brought this red hair dying kit. i have naturally black hair what color will it be if i used the dye without doing something else to my hair. do i need to dye it dark brown first then use the red kit? thank you
A: Hello kandy72727. Great question! The R3 - Light Intense Auburn does not have enough lift or pigment to show up on natural black hair. Since dyed hair is even harder to lighten than natural hair, dying your hair another color first will make it even harder to see a lighter red result. Instead opt for a color with more red pigment that's made for use on natural black hair, like the Nutrisse Ultra Color R2, Medium Intense Auburn (Goji Berry).

Q: I absolutely love cherry flamingo.
I also love the conditioner that comes with all of your hair colors.
I would like to know why you don’t sell the conditioner separately?
I would definitely buy it.
A: Thank you for reaching out to GARNIER regarding the RP1 - Cherry Flamingo. We do not sell the conditioner from our kits separately. We suggest trying the Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Mask.

Q: Hello I wanted to know if I can mix RC1 with RZ4 with already having RC1 in my hair to get a copper color
A: Hi 1Firecracker. Thank you for reaching out to Garnier regarding the Nutrisse, shade Cherry Flamingo. Sometimes bright red colors can bleed a bit after freshly colored hair. It also depends on the porosity of your hair. If your hair is on the dryer side it tends to the hold the color and doesn't always rinse out completely. We suggest after shampooing and conditioning rinse your hair was cool water instead of warm water.
