Blonde Hair Color

Get expert advice and find the perfect formula and shade for your blonde hair color needs. Whether you want to update your tone to the latest trend, lighten your roots, or are looking for a product with 100% gray coverage, we've got what you need. Check out our Virtual Shade Selector to get personalized blonde shade recommendations based on your starting hair color and desired result. You can even try on your recommendations virtually before you buy!

When in doubt, the side panel of each Garnier Hair Color box shows results on a range of natural starting colors so you can visualize how your blonde will appear. If your natural shade is darker than the darkest recommended starting shade on the box, you can expect your blonde result to be darker and warmer than what is shown. You might want to select another blonde shade where your starting color is shown on the box’s side panel. 

Use the chart below to determine your starting shade and read on for tips on achieving a blonde result based on your natural color!

Have naturally light hair? If your natural hair color is light brown or lighter, you can use most of our permanent blonde shades without having to lighten with bleach. Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme and Olia permanent blonde shades let you achieve results that are 1-2 levels lighter or darker than your natural hair color. However, Nutrisse 100, Nutrisse 111,  Olia 8.0, Olia 9.0, and Olia 9 ½.1 can lighten natural hair up to 3 levels in one step. 

Have naturally brown hair but don’t want to bleach? If your natural hair color is light brown to dark brown, you can opt for a Nutrisse Ultra Color ultra high-lift blonde shade, which lightens natural hair up to 4 levels without bleach and deposits a beautiful blonde color in one step. Try our Nutrisse Ultra Color LB1: Ultra Light Cool Blonde and LB2: Ultra Light Natural Blonde for brilliant blonde results on all hair textures. Please note: You should not use high-lift blonde shades if your hair has been previously relaxed, bleached, or dyed dark blonde or darker.

Need to bleach naturally dark hair? If your natural hair color is dark brown or darkest brown, you may need to bleach your strands to get the blonde results you want. This bleaching process lifts the natural pigment from your hair, creating a light base in one step. Be patient! Make sure to follow the timing directions and perform a strand test before applying to your full head. Expert tip: Use Garnier Nutrisse Color Reviver Cool Blonde to nourish hair and neutralize unwanted brassiness after bleaching.

Try our Nutrisse Ultra Color PL1: Lightest Platinum (best for lightening natural hair between medium brown and medium blonde up to 7 levels) and PL2: Ultra Light Platinum (best for lightening natural hair between dark brown and light brown up to 8 levels) to lighten hair at home.
