Garnier Olia Review

I tend to chop and change my hair colour brands, depending what’s on special offer at the time. I always get a similar shade of red though, which is a colour that is notorious for washing out quickly. I find this one lasts well but I only wash my hair twice a week which definitely helps.

I like that this does not contain ammonia so it doesn’t smell too bad or sting my scalp. It doesn’t drip whilst it’s on either so it’s not too messy. Although it is really over-packaged, with an extra plastic bottle to mix it up in, it does mean I can get two uses from this as I have short hair. It covers greys and turns them into sparkly bright red highlights! I also like that it comes with a big tube of conditioner which again, lasts ages when you have short hair. I will definitely use this again as it works out really economical since I can get two uses out of it.

An ammonia free hair colour has great appeal. This hair colour does have a very pleasant smell, and the application is easy. The colour after the first wash was lovely, but with this hair colour I found it washed out and faded within a few weeks, and my greys lightened the most. While the greys didn't look grey as such they were distinctively lighter than the rest of my hair, so I felt they were really noticeable as if I hadn't coloured at all.

My hair was lovely and soft after colouring, and my hair didn't feel dry or frizzy, but I've used other Semi-permanents that held the colour better than this product. Not the colouring product for me unfortunately.

I like to dye my hair in between salon visits just to lengthen my colour in my hair . I try to keep my hair looking youthful and natural as much as I can .

Packaging comes in this box that bright and eye catching. Everything you need is inside like gloves hair dye etc. I find the consistency is creamy. Does have a chemical scent to it. After waiting for colour to work. I normally wash my hair after the wait chair

I think overall this does work on my hair. Price wise it’s fair. I can definitely see myself purchasing more in the near future. It’s an ok product.

I really loved the lightening bleach from garner olia. Can't seem to find it anywhere now days but I swore by it when I wanted to go blonde or lighten my hair to put vibrant colours in. 2 boxes were enough to do my then shoulder length hair which was quite thick and my hair was naturally a darkish Brown. I only needed to do one application and it went from dark brown to blonde. Didn't irritate my scalp either

I can see from other reviews that not everyone is fond of this product, and I couldn’t tell you why. I only use this product to dye my hair red, and I won’t use anything else! I use #6.66

I love that it’s ammonia free and that it uses oils in the mixture. It’s pretty simple to mix together and really goes a long way - I only need one box to completely cover my medium length hair. The colour during the first few weeks is extremely vibrant and then slowly fades to a very nice and natural looking red. My hair is still shiny two months after using the dye, and it actually blends in well with my regrowth so I’m not pressed to go and dye it again as soon as it shows.

Packaging and price-wise, it’s very eye catching and comes with all you need, including the instructions, gloves, and a conditioner to prolong the colour. As for price, it depends where you go. $16.99 isn’t too bad but I find if I shop around I can usually get it on special somewhere or just cheaper in general - and that really helps the budget.

I used to use this dye all the time it smells decent,easy to apply and makes your hair nice and shiny,the bright colours wash out pretty fast wouldn’t be so bad if you could get away with only washing your hair a couple times a week,decent price and a good variety of colours

I've just done my second box of this colour and I'm really impressed.

I've picked it up on special both times for about $12 so excellent value in my opinion, it has everything you need included but my fave is the conditioner which easily gives you a couple washes worth, and the colour only takes 30min to develop. My hair is medium to long in length and quite thick and I'm able to spread one box to cover it all.

After using my hair has been left super silky & shiny and I've always gotten compliments on it. The only downside for me personally was the brighter colours do fade after a few weeks, but the more natural colours last well, dark brown is my favourite.

I've been dying my hair at home for years, and often like to try new dyes, especially ones that are more gentle on my hair (or so they say). And this one just didn't take to my hair at all, the dye didn't last at all, it came out super quickly and the color didn't look good. Definitely wouldn't repurchase.

I always dye my hair at home and have used this brand for about 5 years and my hair always looks lush and refreshed. Also its so affordable!
