Olia Hair Color, Ammonia-Free Permanent Hair Dye, Oil-Powered Formula for 100% Gray Coverage and 3x Shinier Hair, Vegan & Cruelty Free, 7.20 Dark Rose Quartz, 2 Count

UPDATED PHOTO . . . LASTS FOR AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN IT. This product will still be my go-to for at least the next year or so, but it does wash out if you don't maintain it properly. After the first 3 cold water washes with a minimal amount of Four Reasons Rose Pink shampooo, it was still pretty vibrant and mostly dark rose. Then I got lazy and washed it in warm water. The rose immediately disappeared, but it turned a really pretty peach color. I used too much Four Reasons Rose Pink to try and get some of the pink back, but it only worked on the brightest parts of my hair (the front money pieces / level 10). It kept the rest of the hair a pretty rose gold, but not anywhere near the original outcome. The last photo is 3 weeks in and after a regular wash without the Four Reasons shampoo. It's pretty much strawberry blonde now. I actually like the different changes it goes through so I'm not changing my overall rating. Just be prepared to either maintain this with super cold water, or be okay with having your hair turn different (but very pretty!) colors before your next dye session. P.S. I washed my hair every other day or every third day. Going forward, I'll probably only wash it once a week and use dry shampoo as needed. ORIG REVIEW: About four months ago, I'd lightened my hair to level 7/8/9 then up to 8/9/10 so I could play around with semi permanent colors. When my level 5 roots started to grow out, I knew I didn't want to keep bleaching, so I looked for something that might work well to blend my roots and cover my grays while also being bright and fun. I chose Dark Rose Quartz, and I think it turned out really pretty. But you definitely need to lighten if you want it to be dark pink and not dark peach. The parts of my hair that were still a level 8 blonde turned out sort of a peach mauve. For upkeep, I plan to use Four Reasons Rose Pink shampoo to keep the shade from fading, and I know from experience to only wash with cold water. If it fades too quickly, I'll update the review, otherwise, consider it a success on PREVIOUSLY BLEACHED, very porous hair. Virgin hair probably won't look anything like this. If you're a level 10 gray or blonde, expect this to turn bright pink.

Finally a really good pink! I have been waiting years to color my hair this color and it's exactly as it claims beautiful Dusty pink that Fades with washing to look even better each time and is an excellent color if you have some gray coming in as well ♡

TLDR: NOT as pink/dark as I thought, but I really like it! Also, use 2 bottles if you have longish hair! So I started off with brunette (my natural) roots that was ombréd to a warm medium blonde at the ends. So first off I bleached it to get an overall warm blonde, let it rest for a few days, bleached again to get closer to a warm platinum, rested a few days, toned to get to a more neutral base, then dyed. It took me about 30 minutes to get the dye applied and then I left it for about 40 minutes to process. At the end of application, I was super close to running out, so if you have hair aaaany longer or thicker than mine, you definitely want to use 2 boxes for 1 application! Also, a word to the wise- any inconsistencies in bleaching or toning show!! I have patches that are warmer than others because my base color was inconsistent. Thankfully I don’t really care that much, but I know some people would. The color went on white/clear, turned a deep pink (“dark quartz”, anyone?) and when washed out (without shampoo the first time!) faded to a really soft pink. Not like the pictures at all. Maybe I didn’t leave it to process long enough, who knows. So if you’re going for dark pink, maybe try leaving it a lot longer than 40 minutes? Overall the product is great, just didn’t exactly give me what I thought I was getting 😜

Long lasting, beautiful shade. I'm 56 and wanted to cover my gray hair with something different. I didn't want to look like I was trying to be "hip". This shade looks classy not brash, in-your- face pink.

First off I kind of like how the color turned out in my hair. However, I don't think the Box says but it's supposed to do and cover gray hair because in the front hairline I still have gray that shows that didn't get colored. Plus right now I have like three different colors on my hair so but it should have covered the front with the gray and it didn't and I left it on for 45 minutes which was a little longer than the 30 minutes and it still didn't even color it so I don't know if I just have obscenely stubborn gray hair that just wants to show off or what. So maybe the next time when I'm coloring my roots it might work better but for this first initial trial run it didn't do so great. Edited: So I tried it again, and I added two new pictures to show after a week that it even after a week it still never colored the front of my hair and I left it in for 45 minutes to an hour instead of just the 30 minutes. And as you can see from the one photo of my forehead basically LOL that I basically still have the light brown like kind of Gray color that still coming through like probably about an inch that didn't stay colored through my hair. I just don't think my hair likes this hair dye for some reason which is kind of sad because it's nice on my hair it doesn't dry it out as bad I think or doesn't dry it out but I feel like I'm constantly wanting to do touch up and use it all the time just to cover the front and make it match the rest of my hair. The top part of my hair is more pink and you can really see that when you get to the longer sections it starts looking more like a reddish- pink color. And in different lighting it looks different colors so you can't really see the pink.

...Has worked so well. The color is an absolute favorite. I have very thick and long hair, so I used two boxes. If you follow the directions, like don't use any product in your hair (I let mine get like I had been at the beach all day) x 2 days with no shampoo/conditioner. It can be hard to get the conditioner out of the bottle, but a little goes a long way, so what I did is used half and half. Half in my hair the first time, added water to the second half for a few days down the line. First time after coloring, don't use shampoo, just let it get rinse out, then use the conditioner it comes with. I don't normally leave reviews, but I felt compelled to leave one for this product. This is the second time I have used it, and I wanted to be sure.

So I used this product for the 1st time today I have a little bit over shoulder length hair as you will see from the photos my hair is white So I did not have to use any bleach and this kit does not have bleach in it. It was just gentle on my hair it's soft and silky And the color is gorgeous! Exactly as pictured ! This is going on my again list!

I went from dark brown to rosy pink- almost rose gold. I bleached and toned it using a bleach powder, 20 volume developer, and T18 toner. I used foils and a blow dryer to even out the bleach as I had previously dyed my hair. Did roots last. Absolutely in love with this color! I included a before, after bleach/tone, and after dye pics so you can see how much my hair had lightened before using to get this shade. Edit to Add: Its been exactly one week since I dyed my hair and it has almost entirely washed out after a couple of washes. Dye is NOT even close to permanent like the box says. Changed 5 stars to 1 star.
