Key Features and Benefits:
Rich, Natural Black Color: It delivers a deep, intense black color that looks natural and enhances the hair's overall appearance. Shade 1 is typically a pure, classic black.
100% Grey Coverage: A primary benefit, it effectively covers all grey hairs, providing a uniform and youthful look.
Ammonia-Free Formula: This is a significant advantage. Being ammonia-free, it is gentler on the hair and scalp, reducing the harsh smell and potential for irritation often associated with traditional hair dyes. This makes the coloring experience more pleasant.
Enriched with 10X Natural Oils (Creme Riche): The "Creme Riche" aspect of the formula indicates its rich, creamy consistency and its infusion with nourishing natural oils. Common oils include:
Olive Oil: Known for its deep conditioning properties, it helps to moisturize and protect hair during the coloring process.
Almond Oil: Provides nourishment, making hair soft and smooth.
Avocado Oil: Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, it helps to hydrate and add shine. These oils work to deeply nourish and condition the hair while coloring, leaving it soft, smooth, and shiny, not dry or brittle. Some claims even state it provides "50% more shine" post-coloring.
Long-Lasting Color (up to 8-10 weeks): The "Color Lock Technology" helps to seal in the color, ensuring that the vibrant black shade lasts for an extended period, typically up to 8-10 weeks, before fading.
Easy to Use At Home: The kit is designed for convenient and mess-free application at home. It usually contains:
A colorant tube (the hair color cream)
A developer bottle (the oxidizing agent)
Gloves for protection
An instruction leaflet The non-drip, creamy formula is easy to mix and apply evenly, even for beginners.
Nourishing Post-Color Care (often included): Some kits may include a sachet of post-color conditioner enriched with more nourishing ingredients to further lock in color and provide softness.
Suitable for All Hair Types: The gentle, nourishing formula is generally suitable for all hair types, though individual patch tests are always recommended.
Affordable and Accessible: Garnier is a mass-market brand, making this hair color an economical and easily available option for at-home hair coloring across India.

Perform a Patch Test: Crucial step. Apply a small amount of the mixed product behind your ear 48 hours before full application to check for allergic reactions.
Preparation: Wear the gloves provided. Mix equal parts of the colorant cream and developer in a non-metallic bowl.
Application: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair using a brush. Start at the roots, ensuring complete grey coverage, and then spread the remaining mixture evenly through the lengths of your hair.
Development: Leave the hair color on for the recommended time (usually 30 minutes).
Rinse & Condition: After the development time, wet hair slightly and gently lather, then rinse thoroughly with water until the water runs clear. Follow with a conditioner (if included or your regular conditioner) to nourish hair further.
