Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color - Intense Lilac Permanent Hair Dye - 5.21 is formulated to deliver a vivid and lasting color experience. Users can expect a natural-looking, multi-tonal lilac that adapts to their hair's natural nuances, avoiding a flat, artificial look. The up to 100% grey coverage means it's highly effective for those looking to conceal grey hairs completely, blending them seamlessly with the vibrant lilac.
Beyond just color, the product truly shines in its conditioning properties. The included 5 Oils Conditioner (Avocado, Olive, Shea, Cranberry, and Argan Oil) is integral to the post-dye feel and appearance. This rich blend works to nourish and strengthen hair during the coloring process, counteracting potential dryness. Real-world application shows a significant reduction in breakage by up to 3 times, which is a crucial benefit for maintaining hair integrity when coloring. Hair feels soft, vibrant, and healthy-looking immediately after use and continues to benefit from the nourishing effects over time.
To achieve the best results, it's essential to follow the application instructions precisely, ensuring even saturation for consistent color and optimal grey coverage. The vibrancy and depth of the lilac can be maximized on hair that is pre-lightened or naturally lighter, while darker hair will achieve a rich, deep lilac hue.
Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before full application, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the dye mixture behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
Preparation: Put on the provided gloves. Prepare your dyeing area to protect surfaces. Mix the colorant and developer cream as per the instructions in the box until fully blended.
Application: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure even saturation for consistent color.
Processing: Leave the dye on for the recommended time as specified in the product leaflet. This is crucial for optimal color development and grey coverage.
Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Avoid getting the product in your eyes.
Conditioning: Apply the nourishing 5 Oils Conditioner provided. Leave it on for a few minutes to deeply moisturize and strengthen your hair, then rinse thoroughly.
Age Group: This product is designed for adults.
Hair Type: Suitable for various hair types, including those with grey hair. For best results on very dark hair, pre-lightening may be considered for a brighter lilac, but the product is formulated to work on un-lightened hair for a deep shade.
Gender: Designed for female use, though suitable for anyone desiring the color.
Post-Color Conditioning: Use the remaining 5 Oils Conditioner in subsequent washes to maintain softness and vibrancy.
Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair to prolong the intensity of the lilac shade.
Limit Washing: Wash hair less frequently if possible, or use cooler water, to help preserve color.
Heat Protection: Use heat protectant sprays when styling with hot tools to prevent premature color fading and damage.
Sun Protection: Protect hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can fade color. Consider using UV-protective hair products.
