Garnier Olia Review

Usually after I colour my hair (which is pretty frequently) my hair feels pretty fried no matter how much I condition it. After using Olia, my hair actually feels in BETTER condition after I coloured it, than it did before. I purchased it in Brown 5.0 to cover a dark purple I had in my hair before. it did a really good job of taking my hair to a glossy brown shade, and covering the purple which other dyes haven't.

As for application, it can be a leeettle bit tricky to apply seeing as it is oil based. This means it isn't as easy to "spread" throughout the hair and you really have to make sure you cover all the strands. Because of this, the application took me about 25-30 minutes. I've heard how a lot of people hate the bottle shape, but I really don't mind. The smell is SO much better than any of the other dye's I've used. The fact that is has no ammonia is really great, because for someone who colours their hair as much as I do, it's nice to try and minimize the chemicals. I'm happy with the colour, incredibly happy with the condition of my hair, and indifferent about the application. Because of the good colour quality, and the amazing condition of my hair, I would definitely buy this hair colour before any other box dye.

I used this when its on special and its great way to touch up the few greys that wonder around on my head. There is no a heavy ammonia smell which is good. It is really easy to use. I used it for my sister wedding.

I have only just used this for the first time a week 1/2 ago, I went from a light brown colour to now a deep red colour. I did notice when dying my hair I had almost ran out of the product and only just got buy ( I have never had this issue before and have been using box dyes for awhile now) the dye did run quite a lot and did have to keep clearing it off my skin, but it never stained my skin which is a huge plus! Once I had washed it and dried the hair I was so in love with the colour I wish I was red so much sooner! The only down side is a week and 1/2 has been by and the colour has already started to fade and I will be redoing it this weekend. This maybe due to my first time using it and the colour has not hold yet?...

I loved this hair colour while i was using it! I had red hair, and i only needed to colour my roots every application and my whole head every 2nd application, because this colour stuck to my hair so well. It smells amazing and you get so much product in the packets!

I do like this product and I like the oil side of it. My first experience was with the 'Red' shade and 'omg' I looked like a traffic light! I've never had such a vibrant effect with a red tone before. My hair is naturally quite a dark brown and in all honesty I just wasn't prepared for it and thankfully had this brown spray I was able to apply over the top to tone it down a bit, until I was able to cover it with another dye! Since then though - I've grown more confident and comfortable with the red look and I think I get away with it! The downside I have experienced with this product though is that for at least three to four weeks after, after every wash the colour still seems to be washing out, leaving stains on towels - this doesn't seem overly colourfast to me and does put me off a wee bit, even though the colour still looks good in my hair - weird.

I've tried nearly every hair dying product on the market, and this is by far one of my favourites!

First of all, the colour ranges are really lovely, and I always have a hard time trying to decide which one to pick! They're natural looking, and the end result is always well worth it. The colours always show up well, and end up looking mostly like what is described.

Its an easy product to apply, and I find that it leaves my hair feeling so smooth after washing and drying it, some hair dyes make my hair really dry but this one didn't!

I also find it the most appealing packaging wise, and I think its why I ended up picking this one the first time I tried it! Its a reasonable price when not on sale, so I will mostly always get this one!

Dark blonde 7.0

I found this the best lightening hair dye yet! 2/3 of my hair was very light very blonde and the regrowth was brown. And I wanted a colour that would make it all one colour. I used 2 boxes as my hair is quite thick and long.

It's Easy to mix, add the colour cream and developer into the application bottle give it a good shake for a good minute. There was no horrendous ammonia smell mixing it. Easy to apply I love the fact that the application bottle has a really long tip so it's super easy to get to the roots and see what your doing. It is a thick creamy texture so there were no drips And made it easy to handle. What I really liked about this dye was no ammonia smell or the breathtaking smell of bleach. It was rather pleasant Almost a sort of fruity smell to it. I left the dye in for 45 minutes it was easy to wash out in the shower and the care conditioner comes in a nice big tube so it's easy to dispense on your hand. Afterwards I noticed it was easy to dry and style as normal. The colour did however come out a more of an ash blonde than a dark blonde especially in the lighter parts but I do like it. My hair looks pretty even all over now. It feels smooth soft and tangle free not how my hair usually feels after being lightened, usually stripped and fragile and tangles easily

I have been using Intense Red for over 6 months now and will continue to use. I find it much less damaging on my thin hair than most dyes I've used (and I've been colouring my hair for nearly 20 years!) No overpowering ammonia smell and a good consistency when applying. It is very easy to apply- doesnt run and I find there's quite a lot in the bottle. The colour does fade a little faster than an ammonia based dye but for how gentle it is on my hair I feel it's still a better option. The conditioner that comes with the colour is also very nice.
