Garnier Olia Hair Color, Ammonia-Free Permanent Hair Dye, Oil-Powered Formula for 100% Gray Coverage and 3x Shinier Hair, Vegan & Cruelty Free, 6.3 Light Golden Brown, 1 Count

I found my first grey hair when I was 17 years old. Used to pull them out and eventually realized that was not a good strategy, LOL. I have been using different hair color products for a very long time. Garnier Olia is a good, subdued, natural looking product with no strong smelling chemicals. I get two uses out of one box, mixing the coloring agent and the neutralizer 50/50, without any issues. I store the remaining coloring agent (in the tube) in the refrigerator until the next use. The product is not watery like some hair color products, which helps greatly in managing its application. .The color truly does last. I buy more Olia hair color ONLY because my hair has grown out. I leave it on 45 minutes, which is a bit longer than directed, just to make sure it takes. Then rinse the chemicals out, saving shampooing my hair until the next day. My preferred color, 6.3 is currently unavailable. I hope this is a temporary hiatus as I'm very happy with it. It's the same color as when I was a little girl, so looks unobtrusive and natural. The only thing I would change are the included gloves. I wish Garnier would include the same large size, but more fitted, similar to medical gloves. Then I could actually feel what I'm doing. Aside from the problematic gloves, I highly recommend Olia hair coloring products.

I love Garnier Hair Color Olia, in the variant Golden Brown. I have naturally medium brown hair. This hair dye slightly lightens my natural color by a few shades, akin to using "Sun In." This product, however, has been very safe to repeatedly dye my hair with. I could use it every two or three weeks with no issues (although, I stick to about four weeks). However, it is also safe if you'd like to mix in "LIW pH mix." I personally used this with my dye - I added this liquid into the colorant bottle and slightly mixed it before applying the dye. This is not required; I do this as an extra step to make my hair softer and perhaps protect it more (and it is a separate purchase, just to clarify). This dye has multiple benefits. The smell is pleasant and not harsh. Additionally, I don't notice much fall out at all. I could leave this in my hair for 30-40 mins, rinse out, and my hair feels like it's in great condition (although I do use a conditioning shampoo and conditioner afterwards.) And with gray coverage? I had quite a bit of gray hair - I am in my mid 20s, so not all gray yet, but a good amount. This dye did cover most of my grays, and now it is impossible to tell that I had as much gray hair as I used to. Any drawbacks to this product? Not that I can think of! I use one box to dye my hair with, although my hair is medium length, which means if your hair is longer, you'll benefit from using two boxes. I have repurchased this product multiple times. I've been told that it's hard to tell that I'm using box dye. This is a great quality dye for the price point, but I cannot guarantee the results you'll receive if dyeing predominately gray hair. This product allows for root touch-ups or full coverage; in the latter case, you'd likely be dyeing your entire head of hair every 4-6 weeks to cover grays, while using a color-safe shampoo of your choice to extend the color.

It delivered the perfect color

Good hair color and it was soft afterwards. Came out chocolate brown on my dark brown hair and tinted my blonde highlights brown as well. Not so good on hiding the greys

Leaves my hair soft, color is lower on chemicals, my go to since the color is lovely and the only coloring that actually feels very conditioned and NO dryness after coloring

I've always used this brand I like that no ammonia

Ladies don't hesitate to order the Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color. You will love it. I went back and forth reading reviews and mulling over color options for a month before I decided to give it a try. I was just really tired of paying $150 every 6-8 weeks (for years) to have my hair colored and looking for an affordable alternative that still looked beautiful and natural. This is it! My hair is a dark brown naturally and at 47 I have a maybe close to 10% gray that I need to cover up, most of it on the top of my head of course for all to see. I used the dark blonde color the first time because as a complete novice at coloring my own hair, I was paranoid I would get it to dark. I followed the directions to the letter - except after reading the reviews on difficulty of the bottle applicator I chose to use a color bowl and application brush. My results were EXCELLENT. Even this lighter color covered all my gray and lightened my overall color a few shades with nice highlighted effect. The results lasted about 8 weeks before I needed another application - love that. The next two applications I was brave and used the light golden brown color. For me this produced a perfect medium brown color with some blonde and auburn highlights - a little darker than what is shown on the box cover for light golden brown but my hair is also naturally a dark brown so probably to be expected - certainly not too dark. This is perfect for me and I am sticking with this color. At 47 I don't want to go with something as dark as my natural color and want some highlights. I feel it softens my overall look. My hair is soft afterward and NO strong odor at all - bonus. So ladies after 3 applications under my belt I have nothing but high praise for this product - and an extra $140 in my pocket :) Go for it!

Did not work on my hair and I followed the instructions

Great colour. Glad I can get it on here because I can never find it in the store. Love that the scent is not strong
