Garnier Olia Review

I tried this about a week and a half ago mainly because it was on special at Countdown and I never like to spend too much on my box dyes. I was not impressed at all, I'm already looking at my roots and seeing evidence of greys and the colour is not at all how it was portrayed on the box. Don't get me wrong it was super easy to use, the packaging is very appealing and its not at all expensive (even when not on sale) I was just not that fussed over the final result. I applied as directed and was promised grey coverage. As a 26 year old who already has greys you can imagine this is very important but at just over a week and a half after dying I should not be having to think about redoing my roots. I'm not one to complain usually but I am seriously considering getting in touch with Garnier as their products are usually spot on. Long story short, don't bother.. I'll be sticking to my Napro Palette from now on ($8 bucks on special and lasts at least 5 weeks!!)

I used this for the first time about a week ago now, The actual name of the colour i got slips my mind though. I'm not so sure if I'll buy this again though. It was good not having that harsh smell, the bottle size was generous and it was good having a conditioner I could use multiple times (Think i got 3 uses out of mine). However the colour of my hair dye has faded really quickly, which is slightly disappointed. My hair doesn't feel any softer or different than other brands, if anything - I've noticed my hair being more greasy than normal? It was kind of a product with positives and negatives for me, but on this - the single negative of how short the colour lasted out weighed all the positives. Think it was the first and last time I'll use olia - unless it's on a really good special.

I choose deep black as I naturally have dark hair but had a few foils put through it that I wanted to get rid of... I was happy with everything, no harsh chemical smell, large tube of conditioner that I got 4 uses out of and the packaging. Sadly the colour faded after a week. Wont be buying again.

Ive been dying my hair for many years and this by far has been my favourite. The colour lasts for a very long time and didn't dry my hair out at all. Unfortunately I have VERY sensitive skin and started to have mild allergic reactions using this product.

I am a sucker to a good colour hair dye and so far I have found this one is a pretty deal. My natural hair colour is browny blonde but I have been dying my hair red for the past 4 years I admit it is hard to find a good red hair dye that lasts, is bright to my liking (as I am fussy) and doesn't make my hair look/feel like straw, this hair is amazing, it is not my fave but it is definitely up there in the top 5.

The consistency is runny which can be a positive thing when it comes to hair dye and the amount you actually get. I usually takes 2 boxes to completely do my hair which is good because some brands it takes 3.

The smell is amazing, it doesn't smell like there are to many harmful chemicals in it and it leaves your smelling lovely, the condition that comes with the dye I wouldn't recommend as it doesn't fee/smell as good as some of the others and doesn't leave your feeling as soft as some do but all in all I love this product.

The packaging for the product is modern and has a good description of the contents of each box and a good colour indicator on the back of the box as well. <3

I must admit, I did my hair with Deep Violet and the colour doesn't seem to stop washing out in the shower, I have washed my hair over 15 times now and still the colour runs out purple and it doesn't stop, even after rinsing it still has colour coming off, although the colour is still good on my hair, must say it hasn't faded too much but I do worry about the colour rinsing out so much, I did use two boxes though, I usually only ever need to use one box but with Garnier Olia I used two, but overall, I still like the colour its just those silly re growths that needs maintaining ha ha ha

I really like this product as it is so easy to use, I normally dread dying my hair but when I think of this its ok !

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!

I found this product super easy to use by myself. Usually I have to get help but they bottle made it easy. The coverage was great. I have dense hair and there was more then enough. Had some left over which never happens. Smelled great too! I found that the colour lasted for about 4-5 weeks before fading out (for me thats average). Really good price for a good product that I would use again before other products.

So I am a girl who probably dyes her hair a little too often, but I love this product. I am always drawn to this product because of the fact that it has no ammonia in it. It smells a million times better, feels a million times better and does a pretty great job at making my hair look nice. I recently used the Iced Chocolate - and my hair has so many dimensions, not just a dull boring colour. I would definitely recommend this product to people out there looking for an at-home hair dye that is reasonably priced, and does the job well :)
