Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Hair Color, Permanent Hair Dye with 100% Gray Coverage, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 40 Dark Brown (Dark Chocolate), 1 Count

The only OTC color without Recorcinol which has been shown to cause hair loss. Since using this brand my hair loss has been reduced considerably. Plus it works very well. My hair is soft. Color great. Covers grey.

Gives nice color and not as strong smell as some colors.

I’ve tried my fair share of box dyes over the years, but Garnier Nutrisse 40 Dark Brown (Dark Chocolate) has earned VIP status in my bathroom cabinet. It’s affordable, effective, and doesn’t make me feel like I’m dying in a cloud of fumes—so that’s a solid win to start with. Unlike other brands (ahem, Schwarzkopf), this one doesn’t try to strangle you with a chemical smell you can almost see. The scent is mild enough that I can breathe normally for the full 25-minute processing time without wondering if I’m losing brain cells. After rinsing, the scent is faint and pleasant—nothing to make your family avoid you for days. Let’s talk results. I’ve got long, fine hair and enough grey to outshine a well-lit Christmas tree. This dye covers every sparkle, leaves behind rich, dimensional color, and the dyed greys actually add soft, natural-looking highlights. It matches my natural (non-grey) shade almost perfectly—just enough refresh to make me feel like myself again, minus the shimmer. Application? Listen—I’m busy. I don’t section and paint and pray. I squeeze the thick cream directly onto my roots and massage it through like shampoo. It stays where I put it, doesn’t drip all over my face or sink, and gets the job done in record time. And now: the conditioner. Oh, the conditioner. I’d buy this stuff by the gallon if they sold it separately. It smells nice and leaves my hair feeling silky soft and tangle-free, which is a minor miracle. I stretch that tiny tube for at least two months—because nothing else detangles my hair without ripping it out strand by strand. One downside? The gloves. Like most box dyes, they’re clearly designed for people with giant hands and infinite patience. I gave up on them rather quickly and now just use my own gloves every time. Trust me—it’s worth it. I wash my hair about every other day, and I’ve never noticed fading before my roots grow out. The color holds beautifully between applications, which makes it all the more convenient. ⭐ Pros: Doesn’t smell like chemical warfare Excellent grey coverage with natural-looking highlights Thick, no-drip formula = fast and easy application Leaves hair silky soft (thank you, conditioner!) Long-lasting color without noticeable fading Affordable and reliably in stock ❌ Minor Con: Included gloves are glorified plastic sacks—bring your own. Final thoughts: This is hands down my fountain of youth in a box. If you want rich color, soft hair, and a scent that won’t knock you over, this one checks every box—just not the one the gloves came in.

Me gusto por el brillo con que quedo mi pelo

Nutrisse is the best box dye in the game!!! Never damages my hair too much, with minimal breakage & always leaves my hair soft and shiny with the conditioner and oils in the box. Great product!!!

Me gustó mucho solo que tengo cabello largo con dos apenas y me ajusto para pintarlo porque trae poco producto.

Did not cover all the grays even after half an hour of leaving it on.

I have only just used this product but I am really pleased with the easy way it applied. The colour is really close to my natural hair colour. I have always used the gloves to apply when I have had to colour 🧤 own hair

Pour teindre les cheveux, il sent meilleur que celui vendu en pharmacie.
