Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Permanent Hair Color — 42 Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), 100% Gray Coverage & Nourishing Oil Ampoule

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème in 42 Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry) is a permanent at-home hair dye that delivers rich, long-lasting burgundy color with 100% gray coverage while nourishing hair with a snap-and-pour fruit oil ampoule.

This complete one-box kit is formulated for easy home use and combines a non-drip color cream, developer, and a unique fruit oil ampoule (avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea) to help the dye penetrate hair fibers while adding shine and softness. The kit also includes an after-color conditioner, gloves, and step-by-step instructions so you can achieve salon-caliber results without the salon price. Garnier Nutrisse offers a wide shade range and is vegan and cruelty-free, making it a popular choice for people who want dependable gray coverage with added nourishment.

How does this shade perform on salt-and-pepper or gray hair?

Deep Burgundy (42) is formulated to fully cover gray hair and produce a vivid, cool-to-warm burgundy result depending on your starting color. For the most predictable outcome, choose this shade if your current hair color is within two levels of the target shade. The color boost technology helps the pigment bind inside the hair fiber for even, dependable coverage.

• 100% gray coverage when applied as directed and processed for 30 minutes.
• Best matched when starting hair is within two shades of Deep Burgundy.
• Color lasts up to 8 weeks before noticeable fading; use color-safe care to extend vibrancy.

What makes the Nutrisse formula gentler than traditional permanent dyes?

Nutrisse Ultra Crème contains a single-use fruit oil ampoule that you snap and mix into the color for added nourishment. The plant-derived oils help the formula spread smoothly and can leave hair feeling softer and appearing shinier after coloring. This approach aims to reduce the dry, overly stripped finish sometimes associated with permanent dyes.

• Snap-and-pour ampoule with avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea oils for added nourishment.
• Non-drip, creamy texture for even application and easier root coverage.
• Includes after-color conditioner to help seal and moisturize the hair shaft post-rinse.

How do I use this kit safely and get even results at home?

Follow the enclosed instructions step-by-step: mix the colorant, developer, and oil ampoule; apply to dry hair; let process for 30 minutes; rinse and condition. Wearing the provided gloves and performing a 48-hour patch test before full application are recommended to check for sensitivity. For full heads of thick or long hair, use two boxes for complete coverage.

• Perform patch test 48 hours before use to check for allergic reaction.
• Apply to dry hair and process for 30 minutes for full development.
• One box covers short to medium lengths; buy two boxes for lengths over 14 inches or very thick hair.

Which aftercare products help lock in color and shine?

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners to slow fading and preserve vibrancy. Garnier recommends pairing Nutrisse with Fructis Color Shield products to maintain shine and manageability between color sessions. Regular conditioning treatments can help maintain the soft feel the oil ampoule adds immediately after color.

• Use color-safe shampoo and conditioner to minimize premature fading.
• Apply the included after-color conditioner immediately after rinsing for added softness.
• Periodic deep conditioning treatments prolong shine and manageability.

Who is this for: Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème 42 Deep Burgundy is designed for at-home color users seeking reliable gray coverage and a vibrant burgundy shade without sacrificing hair feel. It's a good fit for those who prefer vegan, cruelty-free options and want a nourishing formula that’s easy to apply for root touch-ups, full-head color, or first-time gray coverage.
