Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color Permanent Hair Dye R3 Light Intense Auburn — 2‑Count, Fade‑Resistant Red with Nourishing Oil Ampoule

This at‑home permanent hair color is formulated to penetrate hair fibers using Garnier's ColorBond technology, so even darker bases can take on intense auburn results without a complicated salon process. Each 2‑count pack includes colorant, developer, Garnier’s signature oil ampoule (avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea), after‑color mask, gloves, and easy instructions for a single or two‑session refresh depending on hair length.

How does Nutrisse Ultra Color create vibrant auburn on darker hair?

The formula is engineered to deposit high‑impact pigments deep into the hair shaft, helping darker bases show richer red tones. ColorBond technology supports color uptake and retention while the creme texture spreads evenly to reduce patchiness.

• High‑impact pigment formula for intense red hues
• Non‑drip creme consistency for uniform application
• Specialized developer to open cuticle and lock in color

What role does the snap‑and‑pour oil ampoule play?

Garnier Nutrisse is unique for its separate fruit oil ampoule, added directly to the color mix to nourish hair during coloring. The blend of avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils helps protect strands and leaves hair feeling softer after the process.

• Oil ampoule mixes with colorant for smoother application
• Helps reduce dryness commonly associated with permanent color
• Supports shine and manageability post‑color when used with the after‑color mask

How long will the R3 Light Intense Auburn shade last, and how should I maintain it?

This permanent dye is designed to deliver up to eight weeks of vibrant color with fade‑resistant properties; longevity depends on hair porosity and washing routine. For best results, use color‑safe shampoo and the included after‑color mask to lock in moisture and prolong intensity.

• Up to 8 weeks of visible, vibrant color with proper care
• Use Garnier Fructis Color Shield shampoo and conditioner to reduce fading
• Cooler washes and sulfate‑free products extend color life

Is the kit easy to use for first‑time at‑home colorists?

The kit is packaged with straightforward instructions and all necessary components—colorant, developer, oil ampoule, gloves and after‑color conditioner—making it suitable for at‑home application. Processing time is typically 30 minutes on dry hair, and one box covers short to medium lengths; long or thick hair may need two boxes.

• Clear step‑by‑step directions included in the box
• 30‑minute processing time for standard results
• One box for short‑medium hair; two boxes for long/thick hair

Who is this for: Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color R3 Light Intense Auburn is aimed at people who want a bold, salon‑inspired auburn red at home combined with nourishing care. It suits those with darker natural color seeking dramatic red tones, anyone prioritizing vegan and cruelty‑free formulations, and shoppers who want a straightforward kit that includes an oil ampoule and after‑color treatment for shinier, more manageable results.
