Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème Permanent Hair Color — 56 Rich Auburn (Sangria), 2-Count, 100% Gray Coverage

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème in 56 Rich Auburn is a permanent at-home hair color that covers 100% gray while nourishing hair with a snap-and-pour fruit oil ampoule for lasting shine and softness.

This two-count kit contains everything needed for a full-color application or multiple touch-ups: colorant, developer, the exclusive oil ampoule, after-color conditioner, gloves, and clear instructions. Formulated to penetrate hair fibers for deeper color payoff, Nutrisse combines pigment with a five-fruit oil system (avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea) so color and conditioning happen at once. The vegan, cruelty-free formula is designed to deliver up to eight weeks of vibrant color and noticeably shinier, silkier hair compared with uncolored strands.

How does this shade perform on gray hair and for how long?

56 Rich Auburn (Sangria) provides complete gray coverage when applied according to directions, delivering a rich auburn tone that blends naturally with your base color. Expect durable pigment that resists fading when cared for with color-safe products. For best results, start within two shades of your desired level and follow the processing time on the box.

• 100% gray coverage with even saturation
• Up to 8 weeks of visible color longevity
• Suggests two boxes for very gray or long, thick hair
• Use color-safe shampoo and conditioner to extend results

What makes the oil ampoule unique and how do I use it?

The Nutrisse oil ampoule is a one-of-a-kind snap-and-pour concentrate that mixes with the color and developer to infuse oils into every strand during processing. This helps the formula glide on smoothly and leaves hair feeling nourished after rinsing. The ampoule is included in each kit and is designed to be mixed into the color blend before application.

• Contains avocado, olive, coconut, argan, and shea oils
• Snap the ampoule, pour into the color mixture, and shake to combine
• Improves spreadability for even coverage and less dripping
• Enhances shine and softness post-color with the included conditioner

How do I choose the right amount and apply it safely at home?

One box usually covers short to medium hair; purchase two boxes for long (14+ inches), very thick, or heavy gray coverage. Apply to dry hair, following the kit’s step-by-step mix-and-apply instructions: combine colorant, developer, and oil ampoule, apply evenly, process for 30 minutes, then rinse and condition. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before coloring and wear the provided gloves.

• One box for short–medium hair; two boxes for long/thick hair
• Apply to dry hair, process 30 minutes, then rinse and condition
• Follow the included safety and allergy instructions carefully
• Perform a strand test if you’re between shades or unsure

Will this color work with my current routine and products?

Yes — Nutrisse performs best when paired with color-protecting hair care. Use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner to extend vibrancy, and incorporate occasional deep conditioners or masks if your hair is dry or chemically treated. Garnier Fructis Color Shield products are recommended to help lock in tone and boost shine.

• Compatible with color-safe shampoos and conditioners
• Use Garnier Fructis Color Shield for extended vibrancy
• Deep-conditioning treatments help maintain softness over time
• Avoid harsh clarifying shampoos that strip color quickly

Who is this for: Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Crème in 56 Rich Auburn is ideal for people who want dependable permanent color at home with full gray coverage and built-in conditioning. Choose this kit if you value a cost-effective, easy-to-use system that nourishes while it colors—particularly good for first-time at-home colorists, busy adults needing root touch-ups, or anyone seeking a warm auburn refresh without sacrificing hair feel.
