Description
Lighten your hair at home, up to a very light blonde, with the Garnier Nutrisse D4+ lightener. This kit from the Garnier Nutrisse colour range promises to lighten up to 9 levels, even on a brown base. It contains purple pigments to limit yellow tones.
The kit includes a lightening cream, a milk, a lightening powder and an anti-yellowing treatment. Mix the cream, milk and powder, shake well, then apply evenly. Rinse carefully after 30 to 45 minutes of leave-in time. The treatment that follows helps keep a cooler blonde, according to the brand. The bottles can be closed again, so you can treat just a few strands.
A lightener is a strong product. Do an allergy test 48 hours beforehand, as the manufacturer requires, then a test on a hidden strand to see the result. This Nutrisse lightening colour works better on natural hair than on hair already coloured black or red.

Our verdict on this Garnier Nutrisse lightener
Review written by the Aura Capillaire team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have read buyers’ feedback on this Garnier Nutrisse lightener to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
The strengths
- Powerful lightening, up to 9 levels according to the brand, and 2 to 3 levels in a few minutes for some.
- A purple treatment against yellow, to apply after lightening to cool the blonde.
- Bottles you can close after use, handy for lightening a few strands from time to time.
- A complete kit in the box: cream, milk, powder and anti-yellowing treatment.
Good to know
- A result that depends on your base: on dark hair, the blonde can pass through orange or yellow before reaching a light shade. A purple treatment or a toner is often useful after application.
- A strong product for the hair: it can dry out or damage fragile hair, and it works poorly on black or red colour. Do the allergy test 48 hours beforehand, then a strand test, and respect the leave-in time.
Where we lean: to lighten natural hair by several levels at home, this is a powerful kit to handle with care. For gentler lightening on dark hair, the Blonde Lift from the same range below is limited to 4 levels. For other shades, browse our permanent hair colour.

The Garnier Nutrisse Blonde Lift caramel lightens dark hair by 4 levels, towards a caramel tone, without prior bleaching. It is a milder option. To go all the way to a very light blonde, the D4+ goes further.
The Garnier Nutrisse Blonde Lift natural brown is aimed at a lighter, natural brown, also over 4 levels. It suits anyone who wants to soften their colour without changing their look. The D4+ is for anyone who wants to go blonde.
The John Frieda Go Blonder lightening shampoo lightens gradually, wash after wash, in a 500 ml bottle. Its effect stays light. For a real colour change, a kit like the D4+ is better suited.
