How to Apply Nutrisse | Hair Color 101 Tutorial
What’s the hardest part about coloring with Nutrisse Ultra Crème? Picking your favorite shade! Applying it is as easy as 1-2-3. (There are actually four steps, but who’s counting?)
Once you’ve finally fallen for an irresistible color (see the Shade Selector below), grab an old towel and head for the sink. In less than an hour, all the grays will be gone and you’ll be swooning over the rich and radiant lasting color. And with five hair-loving fruit oils, your locks will be deeply nourished for amazing body and shine. As Nutrisse ambassador Drew Barrymore likes to say, “Better color, better hair!” Check out her video tutorial and read on for the full directions.
Everything You Need
Every Nutrisse Ultra Color kit contains gloves, hair color and developer, plus enough conditioner to last till your next coloring sesh. There are also specific instructions to follow depending on whether you’re doing all-over color or just a root touch-up (brief yourself well and read them all). But before unleashing that color, here’s a word to the wise DIYer: Always do a 48-hour skin allergy test.
01
PREP IT UP
Start with dry unwashed hair.
- Wrap a towel around your shoulders and put on those oh-so cute gloves in the packet. :)
- Twist off the top of the applicator bottle (developer). Squeeze in the color crème, and then add the fruit oil concentrate.
- Screw the cap back on and cover the tip with your finger. Then shake, shake, shake!

APPLY & DYE
For all-over color:
- Start applying at the roots in sections. In her video, Drew shows us a cool technique of using the nozzle like a tail comb.
- Work into your roots with your fingers, and then saturate the lengths and ends.
For a root touch-up:
- Use Drew’s method to separate hair into sections as you apply color to new growth.
- Be sure to target any stubborn gray patches.

LET THE MAGIC HAPPEN
- Clip up your hair and set a timer for 25 minutes. Don’t leave it on for more than 30 minutes!
- Take advantage of Nutrisse’s no-drip formula to get something (or nothing) done while the creamy color formula penetrates and nourishes. Like Drew says, “You can do a lot in 30 minutes!”

RINSE, CONDITION, STYLE
- Massage the Nutrisse color creme through your hair, and then rinse thoroughly.
- Apply the “creamy dreamy” conditioner with five fruit oils (shea, olive, argan, coconut, and avocado) and leave on for 2-5 mins.
- Rinse it out completely. Keep the conditioner in the shower and use it every week until your next coloring.
- Gently towel-dry your hair and style as usual.
