Garnier Olia Review

I LOVE this hair dye!! my hair turned exactly the color it was suppose to and it gave it the most incredible shine it covered every part of my lightening hair completely and i would never use any other hair dye now this is my one and only :)

I've used this hair colour about 4 times now and find it really easy to use because of the nice big applicator bottle. The fact that it's got no ammonia is great too, there's nothing worse than wanting to pass out from the fumes! However, I found that the colour wasn't as vibrant as I hoped the first couple of times, but it has improved the more times I've used it.

I had been wanting to go down a colour shade and this dye said it was possible. It comes in a beautifully packaged box with easy to read instructions. I was very disappointed, only the roots of my hair went lighter. I would possibly buy a darker shade next time.

It smells great and not chemically at all when using it which is good, but the colour didn't turn out all that strong, nor did it last as well as other products I've used. The "intense red" was not all that intense like I'd hoped it would be. I also found I could have done with 2x bottles to get through my shoulder length, but very thick hair, which ends up being pretty expensive. The dye itself didn't feel much different to other products that do contain ammonia either, and when washing out it still felt dry and tangled, untill I applied the lovely conditioner that also smelt heavenly. Nothing to write home about in my opinion.

This product made my hair look and feel amazing immediately post-application. There was a great gloss and shine, and it was really soft and silky.

The dye doesn't have the harsh ammonia scent that some do (I dye my hair a lot and so can definitely say this with certainty) and Garnier have really thought about making a product that leaves hair in good condition.

However, I felt that the colour didn't last long enough compared to other products in the Garnier range and so would be less inclined to use it again until this is addressed, but for people without the greying issue I have it would be a great product to refresh and change up your hair.

The colour range is certainly diverse enough that everyone can find a colour they are keen on, and the product has real potential - but simply didn't work for me.

I chose this because it had no ammonia in it - can't stand the smell! I found it easy to use and it coloured my hair well, although it didn't last as long as other products I have used.

My biggest problem was afterwards, as I had heaps of the after-care conditioner left over, so thought how great that would be to use it, only to find that it left me with an itchy scalp after a few days. The dye hadn't done that - I had patch tested that - but the conditioner did!

I used the intense red and it came out awesome. (I had previously dyed it red but with a different , darker brownier red, and brand) over the top it turned out mint. It washed out of my ends really quickly BUT in saying that i have very porous hair from bleaching.

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.

The colour i was expecting did not come through, and on top of that it completely dried my hair out making it one of the worse experiences ive ever had with hair dye. i was so dissapointed. I was left with a horrible colour and such dry hair i had to wait weeks for the moisture to come back till i could dye it again. Totally would not reccomend at all! xo

This is literally my favourite hair dye I have used so far. As I go for very vibrant colours like red/purple which tends to fade fast this product helps keep my hair colour last longer and generally fades out to a dull red/purple over time. I have recommended this product to a few of my friends overtime. And they have agreed with me on the 'lasting colour.' Effectiveness
