Garnier Olia Review

I have to admit that I used this product to dye my hair while I was pregnant because I was advised that because a natural product was a safe option. That pretty much sums up the only think I liked about it. I found that the colour had no real staying power & within 2 weeks I could already see a lot of fade. On the upside it did smell a lot more pleasant then the harsh ammonia products that gas out my bathroom. I think the idea behind the dye is great but just didn't really do it for me.

This product did smell amazing wasn't strong at all which i loved, there is nothing worse than colouring your hair and the smell of the prtoduct is over powering . But i found it didnt last as long as my normal hair colour that I buy. It faided pretty quickly. And the conditioner it comes with made my hair extremely oily. I did like the applicator tho it made applying the colour nice an easy. But over all i don't think I would ever use it again

I love the thought of a hair dye free of ammonia. That was my motive for buying this hair dye.

The application process was really easy and the dye itself smelt wonderful (not your average potent smelling dye). It come with all the instructions you need and a good set of gloves. When it came time to rinse it all out, well I rinsed it, and continued for a while longer and the dye did not stop running out. I was a tad bit worried. Every time I washed my hair or wet for the next 2 weeks I didn’t see clear water, but red still. One good quality of this dye is that you get double the amount of a regular hair dye. The dye has good coverage and I did notice how soft and shiny my hair became after using it which I’m very happy about.experience

I used the red twice and as much as my hair felt great after the dying process i wasnt impressed with the colour the box portrayed it to be bright and it wasnt at all so if you are looking for a stand out colour i dont suggest this range

I found this product was easy to use, the instrucents were clear. The bottle you blended the hair dye in was a great shape, good size for your hands. It had along tip which made it easy to put the syr through your hair. I found the colour didnt quite look like i thought it would. I had stripped my hair colour so it was a light colour, the red didnt really show through alot. In the light it gets a shimmer of red. Loved the conditioner you use afterwards, hair felt great. Have used these dyes before and had good results.

I'm not entirely happy with the outcome of using Garnier Olia Intense Red. My hair was light brown and the box indicated using this product would produce quite a vibrant intense red. The result wasn't quite what I expected. In the sunlight the colour is fairly bright but florescent lights make it look dull. It has been 10 days since I put the colour through and it has faded quite a lot over this time. My colour turned out a bit patchy too but I put this mostly down to one box of dye not being quite enough for my long hair and me being out of practice in the art of home hair colouring. I don't think Olia quite lives up to what it says it will do - the colour wasn't as vibrant as I expected and this colour was not lasting either. My hair was slightly shinier and softer though I guess. It is more expensive than most other permanent colour products and I don't think it does a better job than products I've used in the past. I do like that it's amonia free though. This could be a good product to use if you were after a relatively subtle change and chose a colour similar to current hair colour.

I am always on the look out for a new hair dye that really does a good permanent job , when looking in the super market this really jumped out at me , it could have been the packet and the fact i have a love for sunflowers i decided to give it a go. I think almost every aspect of the result was a bit of a let down, it smelled quite nice but the gloss or shine was pretty standard , my hair just felt like id washed it and i didnt really notice too much of a difference to my hair color . i was a red at the time but wanted to go dark brown but the red tones were still dominant and and any slight change id noticed faded within a week.

I recently started colouring my hair at home to save time. I really loved the advert and was impressed of the results I would get without ammonia. First time using I found application very easy, smell inoffensive, and very impressed that I got more than one use out of my conditioner. But after using this for a 6 month period, I colour my hair every 4-6 weeks. I found my results were patchy, it didn't cover well and was always left with an obvious halo with my re growth. It may be different if you have dark hair. But doesn't work well for blondes.

When I first used the product I was so happy because it was so much nicer to apply than my regular hair dye as well as not including Ammonia like most permanent hair dyes do. However a couple weeks after I dyed my hair the brown faded and my regrowth became visible again as well as the new regrowth which left me looking rather tragic. It did leave my hair feeling healthier for a couple weeks though which was nice :)
