Garnier Olia Review

Really good product. I absolutely love dying my hair red and the result I got was very vibrant! Exactly what I wanted. Although the problem is that it washed out relatively quickly and I was left with a dull red after a couple of weeks. Though the red has stayed through two more dyes so I now have brown hair with red undertones. It was easy to use. Didn't have the horrible ammonia smell of most dyes. Would use it again definitely!

I haven't used a hair dye out of a box in about 2 years and decided to give this a go a couple of weeks ago, I was mainly interested because of the ammonia free aspect and it was only $10 at the local supermarket as a 'new product special'

I chose the violet colour as it was a little bit different but not too outrageous as my hair was just brunette at the time.. I love the design of the packaging and love the design of the applicator bottle! It was super easy to use and I noticed that I used all of the product out of the bottle instead of having some that I couldn't get out at the end which is what usually happens.. The gloves fit really well, they're usually much too big for me, even though I don't have particularly small hands but these were perfect :)

I love that there was no chemical smell, it actually smelt really nice! There was also none of the slight sting that I normally get from hair dyes as I have a sensitive scalp because of this..

After I washed the dye out I didn't notice a huge difference which I thought may be due to my hair still being wet, however even after my hair dried I noticed that even though it was supposed to be a 'vibrant' colour it wasn't super coloured.. This may be due to the fact that I have long, slightly thick hair and I did only use one bottle!

I think I will use this product again when I'm a bit tight for money but I have regrowth that I need to hide, but next time I'll use more than one bottle of it and hopefully that helps out with the colour problem :)

When I first got the box, I was really surprised at how big it was compared to other hair colouring product packaging. The design for the packaging was well thought-out.

I had to re-bleach my roots before using this as my natural hair colour is black. However, since I asked a friend to do it for me she evened up dying my ends as well as my root and my hair became very dry and I was scared to try this product over it. This did a very good job at toning my hair, the colours were very even and it was very easy to apply. I have shoulder length hair and there was still about half the bottle of product left over when I was done. The colour developed fast for me, around 10-15 minutes or so. I really like how the conditioner or "hair treatment" came in a tube so you can actually re-use it, unlike other ones that come in packages. It also helps make your hair soft after the colouring. After blow-drying you can see the vibrancy of the colour, so shiny!

The only thing I didn't like about this was the mixing bottle. It got hard to hold onto it to squeeze the product out because it gets slippery.

Faded very fast after a few days and turns yellowy. However, purple shampoo does a good job at getting rid of the yellow tones.

Overall, I'm very happy with this dye. I would use it again, price is very reasonable since all other box dyes are around the same price.

I cant remember exactly what colour i used but it was a golden brown and it came out a really nice golden colour, a little darker than what i wanted but thats usually the case with most store bought dyes in my experience. Although the colour hasnt lasted and obviosuly fades out i would probably still use it again. I loved the smell of the conditioner that comes with it was sooooooo yummy and a really decent size! Easy to follow instructions pretty straight forward. Not bad overall.

This was a nice colour on the box, for my shade it should have been more vibrant (it said vibrant red after all). Its an OK colour but not as bright and flamboyant as I had hoped for. It seems to last well (was about 3/4 weeks ago and my hair fades fast) it has kept its colour. the application was a tad patchy (that may not have been the colour but the application) and the colour doesn't seem to have taken over the previous shade that was there. It has made the roots brighter (which is strange as they are usually the darkest). while this colour was nice I won't be purchasing it again

I bought this in deep purple, and the formula is a little runny, but mostly fine. It smells amazing and feels so great on the hair, although the default conditioner doesn't smell as good. The only thing I'm concerned about is how fast my hair faded. I think it was less than 2 weeks when it started fading considerably, and this was me not even shampooing regularly (just 2/3 times a week). I was very disappointed especially because I paid full price for it. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I had a bad batch or something. I would buy again if it was on sale, mostly because it smells so nice and leaves my hair feeling so smooth afterward!

Used quite a while back in the shade 660 a red. Red was a shade I had not really used at the time. For some reason I decided to dye underneath my hair and the roots. The result was fine with me was very bright on my roots the rest of my hair was very dark so the red in the underneath parts looked a bit burgundy in the light but really as my hair was so dark back then apart from the bright roots there was not much of a change. What I did like about this product was the smell and the fact it had 60percent oils in it made it seem healthy my hair seemed shiny enough following use but at the time I had sewn in extensions so I have no idea if the hair had been died before. They were done in a poor country so the extensions might have even been nearly virgin. the box of this brand was a bit bigger than your average supermarket dye but I am not sure it actually had more product inside. The bottle was different looking I note that on the description above it says the product will improve the softness and shine to your hair which I agree with but I would not say there was a dramatic result there for me either. I would like to try this product again I like how there is no ammonia in it and the product smells really good. I would not pay the full price for it unless I found it to be amazing or a trusted shade to keep using however I like to change it up.

I bought the bright red in this hair dye as it showed on the box that it would turn out really bright. It wasn't really though so I was a bit disappointed. i mean, the colour looked good after, I was just really hoping for that super bright look. Probably bleaching prior would help but I didn't really want to have to do that.

This dye is a pleasure to use though, with no ammonia in it, it smells good and doesn't make your eyes water. I also felt like my hair would be stronger and healthier from using a product like this.

I probably would use this again, it might not be my first choice but if it was cheap when I needed it, then I would pick it up. I need to buy two boxes so it can work out expensive if I need to purchase two $20 boxes! I definitely prefer $10 boxes haha.

This product Was ok, packaging wise it's up to the garnia standard bright and noticeable but the actual product faded really fast and didn't give a very vibrant red as some other products do, but in saying that it made my hair soft, smooth and silky and the fact that it didn't smell as bad was a good thing which really surprised me. All in all I don't think this is a bad product it's definitely not!! But maybe not for me

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.
