Revitalised my hair.

Now used this twice. Chocolate brown each time, although I do want to try one of the more exciting colours. Great price when purchased on special at the Warehouse. Not too fond of the mixing process, it seems a bit of a waste having 3 containers to mix rather than just putting the colour straight into the developer, but could be useful if you dont want/need to use a whole box at once. Definietly left my hair feeling smooth & covered greys.

I feel you get more

usually home hair coloring packs come with standard sizing for the solution but with Garnier Olia when applying the solution it covers more of my hair and i only have to buy one box, Ive got shoulder length hair (maybe a little longer) and is normal thickness and Ive always got left over solution, it gives great coverage and extra shine which i love which means i don't go through the whole conditioner in the first use.. the price is average but because it does such a good job it doesn't seem to bother me.. added bonuses for making the solution bottle attractive and sleek looking.

Tips: If you have left over solution don't throw it away put it in a dark place with glad wrap over the top to stop air getting into the bottle (make sure you don't keep it longer than 3 weeks) and touch up your hair it saves you buying another one next time you want to touch up that regrowth.. just shake the bottle to remix the solution.. please note that it may not be exactly the same colour as it has been sitting but its very close to it and you wont really notice

Pretty decent hair colour

I used this product last week. Went to an icy chocolate colour. It done eactly what it said it would. It didnt have a a chemically smell like others seem to hae. My favourite part about the whole product is that it DOESNT stick to you skin. It just sits on top and its easy to wipe off, without the staining that other products seem to leave if you go over your hairline too far. I would use again without a doubt

new fave!

Best home hair dye I have found! I got the 6.0 red aND absolutely love it!! Colour is amazing. When applying the bottle seemed to go forever. So much bang for your buck. There is plenty ty of dye there to cover absolutely every inch of your hair. Since it was my first time using it I didn't pre lighten my roots so I could see what it did, next time 8 will definitely lighten them. My hair is obviously the dark for the red to really take on. I have dark brown hair. This product has a very pleasant smell & application time is much less than other brands I've tried. No headaches is awesome! My hair felt silky smooth & soft after washing our mu colour! I will definitely be buying this again & recommending to those looking for an at home colour. After a second use I pre lightened and the colour is amazing!

Tips: For medium to dark brown I recommend lightening first.

Great hair dye!

This hair dye was amazing, made my hair feel really nice after washing it out, and didn't have any strands fall out during the process. It went really far and I actually had a lot left over at the end. For medium length hair, thick hair you usually need 2 packets to cover hair completely. But one was plenty. Absolutely recommend trying!

Very Vibrant but colour runs for weeks

I do like this product and I like the oil side of it. My first experience was with the 'Red' shade and 'omg' I looked like a traffic light! I've never had such a vibrant effect with a red tone before. My hair is naturally quite a dark brown and in all honesty I just wasn't prepared for it and thankfully had this brown spray I was able to apply over the top to tone it down a bit, until I was able to cover it with another dye! Since then though - I've grown more confident and comfortable with the red look and I think I get away with it! The downside I have experienced with this product though is that for at least three to four weeks after, after every wash the colour still seems to be washing out, leaving stains on towels - this doesn't seem overly colourfast to me and does put me off a wee bit, even though the colour still looks good in my hair - weird.

Tips: Don't use light towels after washing your hair for a few weeks!!

Garnier Olia

I really liked this, the colour was what I was hoping for and it was easy enough for me to do on my own. I didn't think it had much off a smell which is great because it didn't stink out the place.

Tips: Try not do when on carpet or put something under you. best result I had was when I had used on unwashed hair. make sure your hair is full covered

loved it

I didn't get to my emails on time so missed out on the trial but liked the look of it and no ammonia so bought to give a try I bought chocolate brown it was really great having no strong ammonia smell went a long way as I normally need two boxes due to curly thick hair unlike other dyes it didn't react with my skin as I have sensitive skin and didn't leave my hair frizzy and unmanageable which usually happens when I colour my hair so will not hesitate to buy again :-)

Great dye

This is a really good hair dye. I went for the light blonde colour. I really liked this product because it didn't make your hair feel dirty or damaged after you used it. It also didn't have that smell most hair dyes have, because it has no ammonia in it ! I personally thought it smelt quite nice. The user instructions were very easy to follow, and the dye easy to apply. I would definitely use it again.

Tips: Make sure the colour you buy, is more than one shade lighter than your normal hair colour - The pictures on the back can be very deceiving with this brand. I have used a few of the blonde dyes, and the colour shown on the box is definitely lighter than what your hair actually looks like afterwards.

Olia - great idea but not for me

I was really excited to try Olia - I'm a longtime Loreal Castings user and liked the concept of more oils and extracts. My hair didn't approve, sadly. The colour wasn't anywhere near as vibrant as promised (all instructions and colour matches were followed!) and it gave me the frizzies after a week or so. Positives - it smells, great, feels great when first done, and would be great if you have light hair/just wanted greys covered.
