Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Permanent Hair Color — 51 Medium Ash Brown, 2-Count with Fruit Oil Nourishment and 100% Gray Coverage

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème 51 Medium Ash Brown is a permanent at-home hair color kit that gives even, long-lasting medium ash brown color with 100% gray coverage and built-in fruit oil nourishment.

If you want salon-style permanent color from home without sacrificing hair health, this two-count kit delivers. The formula combines a creme color base, developer, and a snap-and-pour oil ampoule made from five fruit oils so color penetrates evenly while leaving hair softer and shinier. Each box supplies everything needed for a single full application on short-to-medium hair; this two-count pack covers longer or denser hair or two applications for touch-ups.

How does this kit protect hair while coloring?

The Nutrisse system includes a unique oil ampoule that you snap into the mix before applying. These plant oils condition hair fibers during the chemical process to reduce dryness and boost surface shine.

• Five-oil blend: avocado, olive, coconut, argan, shea for immediate conditioning
• Non-drip creme texture spreads evenly for consistent saturation
• After-color conditioner seals the color and improves softness

Will it cover gray hair completely?

This permanent shade is formulated to deliver full coverage on gray strands when your starting level is within two shades of the target color. Results show uniform gray coverage that holds through several washes.

• Designed for 100% gray coverage when directions are followed
• Use two boxes for heavy gray or very long hair to ensure full saturation
• Color lasts up to eight weeks before noticeable fading

How do I apply Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème at home?

Application is straightforward: mix the colorant, developer, and snap-and-pour oil ampoule, then apply to dry hair and process for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and use the included conditioner to finish.

• Mix all components in the provided bottle or bowl per instructions
• Apply to dry hair, working from roots to ends for even coverage
• Process for 30 minutes; rinse until water runs clear, then condition

How much product do I need for my hair length and type?

One box is typically enough for short to medium hair. If your hair is thick, longer than 14 inches, or heavily gray, the two-count pack ensures you have sufficient colorant and developer for full coverage.

• Short–medium hair: one box per full application
• Long (14+ inches), very thick, or very gray hair: two boxes recommended
• Keep a second box for future root touch-ups or dual applications

Who is this for: Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème 51 Medium Ash Brown is intended for people who want permanent at-home color with reliable gray coverage and added nourishment. It suits first-time home colorists, budget-conscious buyers who prefer salon-quality results, and anyone looking to refresh or darken natural color within a two-shade range. If you prioritize conditioned, shinier-looking hair after coloring and want a complete kit with developer, oil ampoule, conditioner, gloves, and clear instructions, this two-count option provides coverage and value for multiple applications or for longer, denser hair types.
