FAQs
Is this hair dye suitable for sensitive scalps?
While Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color is an ammonia-free formula, which can be gentler, it is crucial to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each application to ensure compatibility with your skin.
How often can I use this permanent hair dye?
As a permanent dye, it's generally recommended to color your full head every 6-8 weeks. For root touch-ups, you can reapply as needed, typically every 4-6 weeks, focusing only on the new growth.
Will the 'Infinite Black' color look natural?
Infinite Black provides a deep, intense black shade. While it's a strong, rich color, it's designed to look vibrant. The final appearance can vary slightly based on your natural hair color and porosity.
What should I do if the color gets on my skin?
Immediately wipe any dye off your skin with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a small amount of non-gel toothpaste or specialized hair dye remover can be used, then rinse thoroughly. Always wear gloves during application.
Can I use this dye if my hair has been previously bleached?
Yes, but be aware that previously bleached or very light hair may absorb black dye more intensely or appear flatter. It's always advisable to perform a strand test on a small, inconspicuous section of bleached hair first to preview the result.
Does this product offer true 100% grey coverage?
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color is formulated to offer up to 100% grey coverage. For best results on resistant grey hair, ensure thorough application and adherence to the recommended development time.
Why is an ammonia-free formula beneficial?
Ammonia-free formulas like this one typically have a less pungent odor during application, making the coloring experience more pleasant. They are often perceived as being gentler on the hair, contributing to less dryness and damage.
Troubleshooting
Color is not as intense as expected.
Ensure the dye was applied evenly and left on for the full recommended development time. Hair porosity can affect uptake; very porous hair might absorb color differently.
Grey hairs are not fully covered.
Make sure sufficient product was applied to grey areas, as they can be more resistant. Consider extending the development time slightly (but never beyond the maximum stated in instructions) if grey coverage is a persistent issue.
Scalp irritation or itching during application.
Rinse immediately if discomfort is severe. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before use to check for allergic reactions. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.
Thoroughly use the nourishing conditioner provided after rinsing the dye. Continue with a good quality, hydrating conditioner and hair mask in your routine. Ensure you did not exceed the development time.
Color faded faster than 8 weeks.
Review your hair care routine. Use color-safe products, wash with cooler water, limit heat styling, and protect hair from sun exposure. Over-washing can also contribute to faster fading.
Uneven color result.
Ensure hair was sectioned properly and the dye was distributed thoroughly and evenly from roots to ends. For long or thick hair, it's sometimes helpful to have assistance or use two kits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application:
Read Instructions: Always begin by carefully reading the instruction leaflet provided inside the dye kit.
Patch Test: Perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application, even if you have colored your hair before. This is crucial for safety.
Preparation: Put on the gloves provided. Drape an old towel over your shoulders to protect clothing. Have a timer ready.
Mixing: Mix the colorant cream and developer cream according to the instructions. Shake well until fully blended.
Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working towards the ends. For touch-ups, apply to roots first, then distribute through lengths.
Development Time: Leave the color on for the recommended development time as specified in the instructions (usually 25-35 minutes). Do not exceed this time.
Rinse & Condition: Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Apply the nourishing conditioner provided in the kit, leave for a few minutes, then rinse again.
Compatibility:
Hair Types: This product is `suitable for all hair types`.
Previous Treatments: If you have recently permed, relaxed, or chemically straightened your hair, wait at least two weeks before coloring.
Hair Condition: For best results, apply to healthy, unwashed hair. Avoid applying to irritated or damaged scalps.
Care & Maintenance:
Washing: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for colored hair to help prolong vibrancy.
Frequency: Wash hair less frequently if possible, and consider using cooler water, as hot water can strip color.
Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling (e.g., flat irons, curling wands) or use heat protectant sprays, as high heat can cause color to fade.
Sun Protection: Protect hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can also fade color. Consider hats or UV protection sprays for hair.
Touch-ups: Plan for root touch-ups every 4-6 weeks, depending on hair growth, to maintain a seamless look.
