GarnierOlia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color, 8.31 Medium Golden Blonde

The media could not be loaded. Purchased 4.0 Dark BrownFor the longest time I used a natural hair colorant and then one day it did not seem to get the deep brown shade that I longed for. I am 43 years old and my once medium brown hair is probably 50% grey from age, stress, and pain. I started dabbling in other brands and this is the first time I have tried Garnier Olia.I must say I am very happy with the color. The brown is cool toned which is what I need. I guess you would call me a "cool winter" as far as color. I run between pale skin in the winter to a medium skin tone in the summer with pink undertones. I have grey eyes. I look good in colors such as black, blue-red, deep purple, just about all blues, etc.I colored my hair a few days ago and when rinsing it out. I just used conditioner. I find this helps the color sit and take longer. I then washed it 2 days later with a mild shampoo followed by conditioner. In the last number of days, I have actually gotten a number of compliments on my hair, which, it has been a long time since that happened. I used to get compliments all the time, but as I got older it slowly stopped. Now that I have gone back darker, THIS seems to be my shade and, I am going to stick with it for awhile.I have hair that is past my waist and this whole kit seemed to cover my roots and actually do my entire head with a pretty even color. I think, it you wanted a more uniform, deep color and your hair is super long, perhaps a bottle and a half to two? I was actually happy with the one bottle.I have never paid to have my hair colored. I have always done it myself. It is so easy these days. This brand did not seem to damage my hair. Since it is long and I am 'older' I am pretty particular about my hair products. I follow my washes with Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil and usually something by Living Proof and then I sleep on it all overnight. I wash at night to let my hair pick up some natural oils since my hair is normal to dry in nature. Using this hair color did not change my hair texture, if anything, it feels a little better, a little less frizzy at the ends. This is good.Overall ... I will be purchasing this brand and this color again. Very pleased. Please see the video for before and afters. I think I probably had an inch of grey grown out and my previous color and brand had faded a lot.

just as expected

The product came open and empty. It did not even spill. it looked like the content was poured out and left empty and shipped. The box also came damaged and the description of the item was different than from what I got. Just not a good buy.

Beautiful hair color & it made my hair soft unlike other hair dyes

I couldn’t find this anywhere for a while. Don’t know but was told, by the company, it was no longer available.I found it on Amazon. And I’m happy.Thank you for bringing this product back. It’s the only hair color which diesn’t make me itch. Worked in fragrance industry for about 22 yrs. Retired now, and seem to suffer from lots of allergies. Great product. Thankful I found it again,

I used 6.6 Light Intense Auburn. For reference I have light brown hair. This is supposed to make it bright red. I haven’t used this type of dye before, but have used many types and brands over the years, those with ammonia and those without, permanent and semi permanent. On my hair I had fuschia under the top layers. The top layer had been dyed with a bright red from Revlon Colorsilk, which worked well. Then I had at least 2 inches of growth, which is where I used this color. The first huge issue with this is the packaging design. It’s unnecessarily large and bulky, which isn’t very environmentally friendly. Everything is plastic. The developer, bottle to mix and the plastic is slippery. Once you’ve struggled getting everything into the mixing bottle without tipping it over (the shape makes it easily tippable), you’re required to shake it with your finger over the end. If you’ve made the mistake of getting any of the product on your gloves while trying to mix it, it makes it impossible to hold on to the applicator bottle. And because of its shape and material it is incredibly easy to drop. My hair felt pretty rough after washing out the color, but the conditioner they include is really good. Results are mixed. The color isn’t very red or bright. The back didn’t seem to take well at all. I usually get good coverage with almost all dyes. Personally, I wouldn’t get this ammonia free again, there are others that work much better.

I absolutely LOVE this hair color, but unfortunately, it’s been hard to find lately. I color my hair way too often, and in the past, it used to damage my hair. After my sister, a cancer survivor, recommended I avoid ammonia in hair products, I switched to Garnier Olia Ammonia-Free Permanent Hair Color, and I haven’t looked back.I’ve always had strawberry blonde hair, and I mix this with the Garnier Hair Color Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Dye in 8.0 Medium Blonde. The result is perfect every time—rich, vibrant color without the harsh chemicals. I just wish it were easier to find in stores! Highly recommend if you're looking for a gentle, yet effective hair color.

I really love the way the color stays, the way the hair dye covers all the gray and whites without drying my hair. Olia is the only hair dye that I will use , and as long as they keep making the light natural auburn, I will keep on buying Olia ! Great product!
