Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Permanent Hair Color — 73 Dark Golden Blonde (Honey Dip), 100% Gray Coverage & Fruit Oils

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème in 73 Dark Golden Blonde (Honey Dip) is a nourishing permanent hair color kit that delivers vibrant, long-lasting color with 100% gray coverage while infusing hair with five fruit oils for shine and softness.

This at-home hair coloring kit combines a non-drip crème formula with Garnier’s snap-and-pour fruit oil ampoule and an after-color conditioner to provide even, radiant results. The ColorBoost technology helps dye penetrate the hair fiber for durable pigment, while the oil system—avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea—adds nourishment during the coloring process. The kit includes colorant, developer, oil ampoule, conditioner, gloves, and easy instructions for one full application per box.

How does this shade perform on natural and previously colored hair?

73 Dark Golden Blonde (Honey Dip) gives warm golden highlights and works best when your starting color is within two shades of the target. On natural hair it creates radiant golden tones; on previously colored hair, it blends and refreshes the base color while covering gray effectively.

• Best results when starting color is within two shades of the chosen shade
• Designed to deposit warm, golden pigments for luminous highlights
• Effective at blending and covering existing dye or gray roots
• Non-drip crème spreads evenly for consistent coverage

What nourishment does the formula add while coloring?

Unlike many permanent dyes, this formula includes a snap-and-pour ampoule of fruit oils and a nourishing after-color conditioner to help protect hair texture during processing. The oil blend is incorporated into the mix, helping maintain softness and shine as the color takes.

• Includes avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea oils
• Oil ampoule is mixed into the color for in-process nourishment
• After-color conditioner boosts silkiness and manageability post-rinse
• Claims of 2x shinier and silkier hair versus uncolored, unwashed hair

How long does the color last and how much coverage can I expect?

This permanent color is formulated to provide durable pigment and claims up to eight weeks of color life while delivering full gray coverage. Coverage and longevity depend on hair type, prior treatments, and aftercare; following application directions and using color-protecting shampoo and conditioner extends vibrancy.

• 100% gray coverage for salt-and-pepper hair
• Color longevity up to eight weeks under typical conditions
• Use with Garnier Fructis Color Shield for extended vibrancy
• One box typically covers short to medium hair; two boxes for long or very thick hair

How simple is the at-home application and what should I prepare?

Application follows a straightforward three-step mix-and-apply routine suitable for DIY coloring. Mix the colorant, developer, and oil ampoule, apply to dry hair, process for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and finish with the included after-color conditioner.

• Kit includes gloves and illustrated instructions for ease
• Non-drip crème formula spreads smoothly for even results
• Processing time: 30 minutes for full development
• Patch test recommended 48 hours before full application
