Garnier Olia Review

I brought this in the really intense red colour they have. It's really easy to apply. And it doesn't have the super over powering stench of an at home hair colour which is fantastic. After I had washed it out and blow dried my hair the colour was amazing and I loved it. I had so many comments the first week. Unfortunately the colour didn't last very long, every time I washed my hair the colour became more dull and faded. It has now completely washed out and I am left with my natural hair colour, so I wouldn't classify it as a permanent hair colour.

I'm quite impressed with this. I have used the iced chocolate on a few occasions. I really love the subtlety of the colour but it does fade quite quickly. I find it is easy to apply and the conditioner leaves my hair nice and smooth. An added bonus is the minimal smell...my hair doesn't smell like strong ammonia after application. All in all, this is my current favourite

I used this dye when I was pregnant because somebody told me not to use the ammonia based dyes. I found it to be more pleasant to use than other dyes because it had no ammonia and didn't sting my eyes. I used the bright red colour and it showed up well in my medium brown hair and looked really cool because I had had belliage (excuse the spelling) previously so the lighter tips really picked up the colour. The only downside I had with this dye is that it faded fairly quickly (within a week or so my hair looked quite dull).

I re-dyed my hair about a week ago using this dye and i was quite disappointed! It didn't turn out like the colour on the box and my regrowth, which wasn't very dark, turned slightly ginger. I was going for a dark blonde and it turned almost grey.

terrible in my opinion! I bought it because it was on sale and I liked the fact that it contained no ammonia. It didn't turn out the colour on the box, waaaaay lighter and it wasn't very permanent either. it looked like it washed out almost straight away

This is literally my favourite hair dye I have used so far. As I go for very vibrant colours like red/purple which tends to fade fast this product helps keep my hair colour last longer and generally fades out to a dull red/purple over time. I have recommended this product to a few of my friends overtime. And they have agreed with me on the 'lasting colour.' Effectiveness

The colour i was expecting did not come through, and on top of that it completely dried my hair out making it one of the worse experiences ive ever had with hair dye. i was so dissapointed. I was left with a horrible colour and such dry hair i had to wait weeks for the moisture to come back till i could dye it again. Totally would not reccomend at all! xo

I have bought this a couple of times but there wasn't as much colour choice as other brand hair dye. I got a browny red colour one and the colour came out just a dull sort of brown where as in other brands my hair will go more reddy/purple and look a lot nicer. The applicator bottle was easy to use and I really liked the non drip formula just a shame about the quality and range of colour choice.
