Garnier Olia Review

My hair is really bad at holding color and also it is damaged easily. When I use this product it hold really well I only have to die it again when my regrets becomes too much. It leaves my hair looking and feeling amazing

So I decided to change my hair from blonde to brunette, something I have done a few times before. Loving the 'frosted chestnut' colour I grabbed some Olia. I left the colour in the stated amount of time but I could tell almost instantly upon drying my hair that the colour hadn't taken very well. I left my hair a few days, washed it once in that time and decided to use the same colour again thinking maybe it was something in my hair as it was fairly blonde. So again the colour started to fade out and after a week looked very dull. Gutted as I loved the colour on the box!! Anyway have since used a similar shade in a different brand and have had no problems at all. Would not use again.

I had been using Garner Olia in the coolest light blonde shade for about a year when I first heard about it. It sounded like a miracle product that wouldn't damage my hair as much as other hair dyes I've used in the past. However the last few times I used it to do my roots it ended up leaving my hair blue and purple! I was shocked and very upset! I immediatly became turned off to this product. After a week the purple color began to fade but it wasn't worth the wait.

An amazing formula, absolutely no drips whatsoever... not one! It feels and smells great. The bottle is designed really well so that you can open it up and scrape every last drop, which I like because I've got long hair.

But I was disappointed with the colour (Frosted Chestnut). I just felt that it wasn't very strong and didn't develop enough. The 'if your hair is this colour, it will look like this' blurb on the box was misleading, as my hair doesn't look anything like the box says, despite my original hair colour being one of the 'before' colours on the box.

That said, the whole experience is worth it if only for the way my hair feels and smells! I think this is from the conditioner - you get 54ml! Amazing!

I would buy this brand again, but I would get a different colour. Amazing value for a $10 special at New World!

I picked this hair dye up in BRs Beauty vault last month. The biggest appeal for me was that it was Ammonia free. I also chose this colour thinking my hair had grown out enough to be dyed light brown, sadly i was wrong, no fault of the hair dye, just my poor judgement.

The box is pretty darn big compared to others but when opened I realised why, 3 tubes, an oval applicator bottle and instructions leaflet with gloves. The box is clearly labeled with what to expect to find inside, how your hair may turn out depending on your current shade, first aid on the side and most importantly on the front the shade. Upon opening the box the first thing i did was read the instruction, which i usually don't bother doing due to the fact I've been dying my hair at home for so long now I think of myself as somewhat of an "expert". The instructions clearly state how to mix and what to mix in the applicator bottle. How to dye your hair if it's a first time all over dye or just for re-growth. For myself I was doing an all over dye.

In the back of the box there is a neat wee punched out hole that you can place the applicator bottle into while you put the contents of the developer cream and colour cream into it...Handy! With a good old shake for 2-3 minutes I was satisfied everything was mixed together and ready to apply to my hair. On went the gloves, which were black and not overly oversized like some you get in home dye boxes. When i started applying the dye to my hair the first thing I noticed was the smell, not over powering chemical smell but a floral smell which made applying pleasent. the secongd thing I noticed was it wasn't dying my scalp, nor did it dye any skin around my neck or ears that it came into contact with.

I left this in for 30-35 minutes, jumped in the shower and procceded to rinse the dye out. once the water was running clear and I was sure all dye was out I reached for the Multi-application conditoner. Yes thats right Multi-application, so not only was I going to get the one wash from the amount in the tube but several, and I did, 3 infact. The conditioner itself came in a tube not a foil packet! wha hoo!!

Overall once my hair was washed out and dried I was pretty satisfied with the result. It dyed my hair light brown but sadly for me my judgement thinking my hair was light enough for it was wrong. My ends were still quite dark so my hair ended up looking rather silly! Light on top dark ends!

I dyed my hair dark brown three days later sadly not with the same product as my local supermarket didn't have the shade I was after. Garnier Olia rrp is around $17 pricey but you definetly get what you pay for and I think thats quality.

A+ product!

Loved the intensity and long wear of this product. Easy to use and made my hair smell and feel great. Left a gorg shine to my hair. The conditioner that comes with it is amazing.

Hmmm were to begin LOVE LOVE LOVE! This permanent hair die is ammonia free. smelt amazing my hair felt healthier after dyeing my hair than when I started. awesome color coverage and lasting intensity of color. I highly recommend this product it's awesome it's currently what I have my hair dyed with now and will re purchase!

I needed a change and this was on sale at my local Warehouse so thought i'd give a try. Brought 3 boxes as I have dark brown hair and its thick. The colour was amazing after I had done it and was great smelling. Not overpowering like other hair dyes. I have had this colour in for about 6 weeks now and it has washed out alot. It's a different colour now, lighter but still looks cool.

This was the first time I had dyed my hair in about 2 years. I bought two boxes of the Lightest blonde shade as my hair is on the longer side and a bit thicker. After putting in and getting all of my hair covered a waited the suggested time. When I was rinsing my hair per instructions I found it difficult, it felt like wax had dried and set in my hair. Once I was out of the shower I immediately noticed my roots were the colour on the box but as I dried my hair I realised this is where it stopped. My hair is now extremely patchy my roots and ends are the right colour but all in between is either darker copper or no colour at all it looks like a toddler tried to dye my hair. Very disappointed as I have never had a problem dying my hair before now and have now wasted my money

Needed to tidy up my hair so used this brand. The colour came out beautifully and the smell of the conditioner was so nice. My hair looks so good when its straightened, expecially in the sun. Im on my 4th week with having this product in and its still a good bold colour.
