GarnierHair Color Nutrisse Nourishing Creme, 10 Black (Licorice) Permanent Hair Dye, 1 Count (Packaging May Vary)

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 warfareExcellent grey coverage with natural-looking highlightsThick, no-drip formula = fast and easy applicationLeaves hair silky soft (thank you, conditioner!)Long-lasting color without noticeable fadingAffordable 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.

I have used this brand and color for quite a while. The dye is easy to apply and does not have a strong odor. The coverage is great, including the coverage of gray hair. I feel the price is good, the color lasts a good amount of time, and it provides a natural looking color and finish.

I seriously love this hair dye. Garnier Nutrisse 413 Bronze Brown is such a perfect match for my natural hair color, it’s like it was made for me. The shade blends in so seamlessly that it just looks like my real hair but a little richer and more polished. I’ve actually subscribed to it because I don’t ever want to run out — that’s how much I rely on it now.It’s easy to use, doesn’t have that overwhelming chemical smell some dyes do, and my hair always feels soft and healthy after. The conditioner it comes with is amazing too, leaves my hair silky and smelling so good.Only thing is, if you have really thick or long hair, you might want to grab two boxes to be safe. But for me, it’s just right. Super happy with how it turns out every time.side note i usually do just my roots, to cover the gray, it does last me about 6-7 weeks before i need to redye.

I was nervous to try an at-home dye kit for the first time, but I’m honestly blown away by the results. It was so easy to use, and the color turned out just as good—if not better—than what I usually pay over $200 for at the salon. My hair smells amazing and feels incredibly soft.The only downside was that I accidentally stained my porcelain counter, but that was totally my fault for not being more careful. Just a heads-up for first-timers—protect your surfaces! Overall, I’m really impressed and will definitely use this again.

This works well, nice that it doesn't burn or irritate skin and scalp as other dyes do (I think probably because other dyes have peroxide or something in them...) Another thing is it doesn't come out a weird color if you leave it on for a while for deeper coverage...The one thing is, it seems like it fades rather than staying colored with just the roots growing out, the rest of the hair color seems to fade so you'll be re doing the dye more often rather than I at the roots every month or whatever, the original color seems to show after a couple weeks, almost like the dye is something that doesn't stay for very long, like it washes out...Which seems that while it is labeled as permanent , it seems like it washes out... color wise it is a good color, where a lot of hair dyes out there , the colors just don't look natural, so you can tell someone used hair dye because the color just looks artificial...With this, aside from the fact the color practically washes out, and fairly quickly, it does have a natural looking color to it, so as long as you re-apply it regularly, nobody can tell it's a dye job...where many dyes look fake, an orangish hue or with black eyes they often have a purple or blueish tint so people know it's hair dye....It would be nice if the color stayed permanently, until you need to dye the roots rather than the roots plus everything else to keep the color even...But it works fine otherwise, it seems it's mis-labeled as permanent, from my experience, but then again, it is a fairly decent price compared to other dyes, so as long as you re-apply it....It does the job.

This review is for this specific shade and recent inventory of the product that I received a few days ago. I LOVE the new vegan formulation. I left the Nutrisse hair conditioner on for a few minutes before rinsing in cool to slightly warm water and my hair is incredibly smooth and shiny! This shade also covers grays better than another Nutrisse shade that I used previously. I think the color looks a bit too dark (same as with most boxed hair color, in my opinion) for the first several days but after a few washes it will look more natural.

Same price as drug store so you are not over paying. Packaged well so no damage to the box.Easy to use. Great results
