Garnier Nutrisse Creme Light Brown 6 Review

It was time to dye my hair and I fancied a change so on a whim I purchased the Garnier Nutrisse in Light Brown (No 6). I usually go for a darker shade in varying brands which usually means for a week or so I have black hair as my hair is so porous and takes really easily, but this time I wanted to skip the black hair stage.

Stupidly I decided to look up reviews of this dye AFTER I'd decided to slap it all over my head. I found quite a few negative reviews about how it seems impossible to wash out and how it still stains towels weeks later, generally the reviews seemed not so hot, which left me a little wary when it came to washing it out...

The results: (FYI, my hair was a very dark brown as you can see in my profile picture).

unstyled, straight out of the shower blow-dried hair.

I actually quite like it. I don't LOVE it but I think it looks quite nice. It does seem to have lightened my hair a little and the colour is fairly even. I didn't have much trouble at all washing it out and after blow-drying my hair feels a little dry but mostly soft. It didn't smell that awful and it wasn't terribly hard to apply. I was hoping for an almost ash brown, and it does seem to have cooler tones to it now which I like.

On to the cons, there isn't much product. I did only buy one box and I just about got it to cover all of my thick mid-length hair. I'm surprised it came out so evenly, actually, I was convinced I'd probably missed a few bits after the dye had all run out. 

The conditioner was fine, but usually my hair feels great after using the conditioners that come with hair-dyes, this time it was still a little dry. 

All in all, it was just fine. Not great, not bad, just average. Overall I would give it a 6/10 and may use it again in future.
