Garnier Nutrisse Review

I have used this brand for years, specifically 'Blue Black'.

I was reasonably happy, until recently when I started cheating on Garnier with other brands.

In comparison to other supermarket colours, Garnier washes out quickly, even visibly washes out, down the drain each time I washed my hair.

It didn't stay black for long, fading to a warm brown within weeks. Perhaps a ploy to get you to dye it more often?

Again, compared to other brands, the product did not spread as far, did not leave my hair feeling as lush, & did not last the distance.

To be fair, it does do the job & for the price, I shouldn't complain.

This was the most recent hair dye I purchased and I only got it because it was under $10 at countdown. I now regret not paying more and getting Olia as you do get what you pay for. The instructions were easy to follow and the bottle is just like an other normal hair dye. The smell of the dye was so potent and made my eyes water and nose burn. I felt the dye didn't go through my hair nicely and made it super knotty. It washed out nicely and didn't leave a mess, the conditioner was nice and had a good smell, the conditioner took out any tangles and I enjoyed using it. My biggest disappointment was how the colour turned out. I have never had a dye that has left my an uneven colour. After a dye has faded my ends are usually more faded than my roots and this is always fixed when putting a new colour in. To start with my hair was a medium-natural dark brown, I bought the chocolate brown and it made my roots a medium very golden brown and the ends a very dark chocolate colour. Neither colour was shown on the packet. It eventually faded and the colour in my ends of my hair was a perfect chocolate brown but still did not match my roots. I wouldn't say that it left my hair shiny, silky with no dryness for 8 weeks, it did leave my hair soft and shiny for the first few washes but then went back to normal. The price maybe great but I won't be purchasing this again.

I've used the darker shades of this, and I found that it was pretty true to colour on the box. It worked well, and the colour lasted for a good few months. I just didn't like the heavy ammonia smell - but I guess that can't really be avoided. The instructions are easy to follow, the product is easy to use and it just works well. I also love the conditioner it comes with - leaves the hair feeling nourished and smooth. I do have a sensitive scalp, so it did sting a bit, and I accidentally got some on the face around the hair line which didn't feel great either. The only negative is that when it stains your nails, because the glove breaks easily, it doesn't come off easily! That, and the smell are the only negatives for me. Overall, I would say a good product, especially the darker colours, as those are the only ones I've used.

I used this product before the olia one came out and it was pretty average, not amazing but i am yet to find a supermarket dye that is amazing. Its affordable does the job however it doesnt last overly long, again like most supermarket dyes i have used it will eventually wash out. Simple to use, very straight forward cant really go wrong.

i love this product , i use this all the time for the excellent price, i love the fact the colurs are fibrant and there is a wide range available, i usually go the choc brown, but i went intense red this time and its amazing its exactly the color i was looking for !

I have used this product several times and was not pleased with the results at all. The end result was very poor coloring. It also came out very quickly. I used 2 treatments but still did not produce good results for my hair ended up being very dry and matted

This is a great hair dye! My hair always feels like it's had a treatment afterwards. Smooth shiny hair!

However because I have medium blonde hair, it usually washes out in a couple of weeks. I know this is usually expected (and warned on packaging) but it's rather frustrating!

I have a sensitive scalp so it did sting a little bit!

I've used Garnier Nutrisse off and on for so many years now that has to say something about the product.

If I had to pick one thing I loved about the product, it would be the grape seed oil - it makes it smell amazing, and not like your traditionally harsh smelling hair colourants. And it's great to know it's stopping your hair from drying out as you colour.

There are some gorgeous colours in the range, especially the browns. I would have to say the only negative is that they don't have the startling, vibrant colours that some other ranges do, but the colours they do have are beautiful and rich and lustrous.

This product is usually my go-to home dye, but I can't say that I LOVE it.

I do like the colour that it gives and the conditioner smells amazing. However, I have to use two bottles of it to colour my hair completely. There just isn't enough product in one bottle. For reference, my hair reaches just below my armpits and isn't overly thick or thin - somewhere in between.

I find that the colour lasts for a decent amount of time, but definitely doesn't last exceptionally long.

I do love the way this product makes my hair look - nice and shiny and healthy. And it is very easy to use.

I keep going back to this product, but I'm sure there is better ones out there on the market.

I would recommend trying this product out if it is on sale - especially if you have longer hair as you will need to pick up two bottles (at least).

I normally use nice 'n' easy by Clairol, light ash blond, I tried the equivalent with the Garnier nutrisse range and it didnt lighten as much as the nice 'n' easy. Though it did have a nice smell and felt soft after.
