Garnier Nutrisse Permanent Hair Color 43 Dark Golden Brown (Cocoa Bean) — 100% Gray Coverage & Oil Ampoule

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème is a permanent at‑home hair color kit that delivers 100% gray coverage and nourishes hair with a snap‑and‑pour fruit oil ampoule for shinier, softer results.

If you want a reliable, budget‑friendly permanent dye that both covers gray and conditions as it colors, this Garnier Nutrisse kit is designed for at‑home use. The formula infuses color deep into the hair fiber while a built‑in oil ampoule—containing avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils—adds moisture during processing. The result: long‑lasting color, improved shine and a smoother feel compared with uncolored hair. Each box includes the colorant tube, developer bottle, oil ampoule, after‑color conditioner, gloves and simple step‑by‑step instructions for an easy application.

How does Nutrisse give full gray coverage?

The permanent dye contains pigments formulated to penetrate the hair shaft and lift remaining pigment before depositing new color, which provides thorough coverage of gray and salt‑and‑pepper hair. For best outcomes, choose a shade within two tones of your current hair color to avoid unexpected lightening or darkness. Coverage is designed to remain visible for up to eight weeks when used as directed.

• Pigment delivery targets gray strands for even results
• Permanent formulation locks color into hair fibers
• Recommended shade selection: within two shades of your starting color
• Visible coverage duration: up to eight weeks

What makes the fruit oil ampoule different from other kits?

Nutrisse’s signature snap‑and‑pour ampoule blends five plant oils into the color mix so hair receives conditioning while color develops. The oils help the formula spread smoothly and can leave hair feeling silkier and looking more reflective after rinsing. This integrated approach reduces the need for separate pre‑ or post‑color oil treatments.

• Includes avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils
• Added during mixing to nourish hair during processing
• Helps deliver smoother application and increased shine
• After‑color conditioner further seals in moisture

How do I apply the kit for best results?

Application is straightforward: mix the colorant, developer and oil ampoule, apply to dry hair, process for about 30 minutes, then rinse and condition. Use one box for short to medium hair; long, very thick or heavily gray hair may require two boxes. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before use and follow the included safety instructions.

• Mix colorant, developer and snap‑and‑pour ampoule thoroughly
• Apply to dry hair for even coverage; process for 30 minutes
• Rinse until water runs clear; apply included after‑color conditioner
• One box covers short/medium hair; two boxes for long or very thick hair

Will this color work with my hair care routine?

Garnier Nutrisse pairs well with color‑protecting shampoos and conditioners to extend vibrancy and reduce fading between colorings. The brand recommends using products formulated for colored hair to maintain shine and minimize pigment loss. Routine limits like washing frequency, heat styling and sun exposure will also affect longevity.

• Use color‑protecting shampoo and conditioner after initial processing
• Avoid daily hot water washes and reduce heat styling where possible
• Consider Garnier Fructis Color Shield line to help preserve shade
• Follow package timing and patch test instructions for safety
