Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color Nourishing Hair Color Creme, B3 Golden Brown, 1 kit

I wanted to go a little lighter but was hesitant to use this color after reading so many negative reviews especially with different color roots. I now realize most of those people did not follow instructions. I have naturally dark brown hair with some grays. I used another product in April 2015. I now have medium to dark reddish brown color with dark brown and gray roots. Here's my successful process: First I did a test by snipping a sample of my hair from a long under layer at the roots and taped it together in the middle. Then I applied the dye for 30 minutes to evaluate any differences between the ends of my and the roots. There really wasn't any difference. Even though the test strands were OK I still followed instructions and applied the dye to the roots for a shorter time. I put the dye on my hair to the ends for 20-25 minutes, avoiding the roots. Then I covered the roots for the remaining 10 minutes. Now I have a consistent all over color that is lighter than before and has shimmering golden highlights. Grays are hidden. Yeay! :-) I love the little packet of after conditioner – it makes your hair so soft. Good luck to all!
