Garnier Cristal Color

Garnier Cristal Color is a hair-color product for people who want an at-home dye with a more polished, glossy finish than the cheapest box options. By our assessment, the obvious appeal is the promise of color plus shine in a mainstream Garnier format, which is exactly the sort of thing many shoppers look for in a supermarket aisle. The honest limit is that box colour still asks for careful shade choice, timing and aftercare, and results are never as neat as the picture on the pack. In use these products are about gloves, mixing, waiting and then living with the maintenance of dyed hair. It sits in the crowded middle of home hair color, between basic budget kits and more salon-like systems. People who want a simple retail dye with a beauty-brand sheen may find the pitch clear enough; people seeking very controlled results usually will not.
