I had previously used the dark Violet and wasn't happy with the results. My hair was very red and not purple at all. I decided to try this color a few months later because I figured even if it was just black I wouldn't be mad. My hair looks exactly how I had hoped it would. I think the red I had in my hair may have helped the blue show. I'm very pleased with the results and will definitely use this color again. I used two boxes and could have used a third so if you have long thick hair you will need to buy multiple boxes.

Bad hair dye job
5 days ago
Horrible. Tried it because its demi-permanent and I have a lot of gray hairs so I thought it would blend nicely as other demi-permanent dyes. However, I ended up with a super ugly and very unnatural color. My only hope is to find ways to wash it out as much as possible.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Minor issues, but results are good!!
4 months ago
This product is pretty good! The instructions were a bit confusing but I looked up a video example and it worked. The smell of the dye was pretty strong even with my fan on and door open so beware of that. It came out a little patchy but my hair is dark so I don’t mind, it looks like it was on purpose because it’s only near my roots. I started at my roots so I’m not sure why that happened. Regardless, I love the way it turned out! It was an obvious blue color and I’m glad I chose this one and not splot. It’s very obvious my hair is a blue grey or an indigo grey and I love it a lot!!! Got a lot of compliments and it didn’t leave my hair feeling super dry!

Great Color - Fades Nicely
6 months ago
i LOVE this color. I have light brown hair with a few grays and the shade comes out beautifully. Gray coverage is on point. Personally, if you have darker than medium brown hair, I don't think this will show up as well as you want. That's where I've noticed most of the bad reviews start. All boxed dyes fade, and this one actually fades really well. It starts a little dark at first and fades to a nice blue/green (think mermaid) right before I color. I revive my color with semi-perm every few weeks and only use this once every 3 months as an all over color. I have a sensitive scalp and it's worked well for me. I hope they keep it - it's the best teal permanent dye on the market (and one of very few).
This is my go to blue. I have been a punk for almost 30 years so I know my hair dye. IN2 is the nicest blue you can get that's not "semi permanent". other brands turn your pillows more blue than your hair.
It comes out dark black not a bkue black at all. I ended up looking like wedneaday adams from the animated kids movies.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Feedback on New Hair Color Formula
a year ago
Dear Garnier Team,
I have been a loyal customer of your hair color products for quite some time and have always been impressed with the previous formula, particularly the version that came in packaging with green sides and a different image. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed significant changes with the new formula, and I wanted to share my concerns.
The new version does not perform as well—it washes out within 3 to 5 days and leaves noticeable stains on my pillowcase, which was never an issue with the previous product. I’m not sure what changes were made, but the quality is no longer the same.
I would greatly appreciate any information on whether older batches of the previous formula are still available, as I would be interested in purchasing them in bulk. Your previous formula was a staple in my routine, and I’m disappointed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a comparable product.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Hi there, we appreciate you reaching out to us about your experience with IN2 - Intense Pure Indigo. We are genuinely sorry to hear that this hair color did not meet your expectations. Your honest feedback, whether positive or negative, is incredibly important as it helps us continuously improve our brand and develop products that truly resonate with our customers' needs. Please be assured that your valuable input will be shared directly with our internal team for their thorough review.
Q: Hello! My hair is faded from cherry red to an orange now, and I have a lot of regrowth of my natural hair that is dark brown. Would it be best for me to use hair dye remover before using this shade to get a good dark color or can I put it all over as is?

Q: Bought a box a couple years ago, but didn’t use. Want to go blue again. Is the old box safe to use? Or should I trash it and get a fresh one? how old is too old?
A: Hello L_old_blue, Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected.
If your product looks and smells the way it normally does, it is good to use.

Q: Can I use Indigo on previously black dyed hair?
Hers5 years ago
1 AnswerAnswer this Question
A: Hi there Hers! The Nutrisse Ultra Color shade IN1, “Dark Intense Indigo” is best for anyone with natural hair between Light Brown and Darkest Brown. Since dyed hair takes color differently than natural hair, we do not recommend shade IN1 for hair that has been previously colored darkest brown or darker. Or is bleached, highlighted, or predominantly gray.
