i have used Olia products numerous times and i have been numerous shades however i decided after leaving my hair alone for 8 months i wanted a change. i decided to use this colour as its just plain and simple. it went on great, stayed on for required time, used the conditioner provided and all was good. 4 days later i have just washed my hair for the first time since the dying process and it has practically all washed out. my hair is less the brown it shows on the box and what i had when it was dyed and more of a golden light brown which i did not expect from this product which is supposed to be permanent. which has now left me with patchy hair. will NOT be buying from this range again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

An oily gross mess

a year ago

I purchased this product as a quick fix to cover my roots and a few greys. Colour went on ok. I washed it out, shampooed as I normally would and blow dried my hair. What a disaster. My hair felt so oily, like I hadn't washed it in a week. I could actually lift my hair up and it would stay in that position it was that bad. I tried rewashing sections, which helped a little, but still felt gross. The greys were covered, but not entirely. Next time I'm going to stick to other brands that are far superior to this.

No, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I've tried numerous shades in this range and haven't been disappointed with the results of any of them. However this colour is nearest to my natural shade and my favourite. Its very easy to use, simple instructions. The only negative thing I would say, I can't understand why the developer cream isn't already in the empty applicator bottle. It seems a waste of packaging. I love the black gloves, nice touch, I can never see why they're usually transparent. Also they're a good size. My hair was soft and shiny and in great condition afterwards. Really nice even colour too.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My hair is almost completely white, so I colour it once a month. Firstly, I like that this can be applied directly to dry hair. Once mixed, the mixture is quite thick, so it doesn’t run or drip which is great, however, my hair is chin length and if it was any longer, one pack would not be enough. The previous colour I had used was a dark red, and I could still see some of the red showing through, but my greys were well covered. My hair looked shiny and in great condition. Overall all, Olia was pleasant to use and I was pleased with the result.

I used the 5.0 hair color, but it did not work for me. It didn’t cover my gray hair, even though I carefully followed the instructions. My hair color didn’t change at all, except for a few gray strands that were lightly colored. I’m a bit disappointed. I really hope they have a better product for me to try.

No, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I havnt had a colour on my hair for a year now, so when this popped up, I decided to go for it. I’ve just used it and it was very simple to mix and apply. The instructions where very simple. Rinsing the product out after it had time to develop was easy and it feels lovely and smooth when you rinse out the conditioning treatment. I’m left with a lovely even chocolate brown colour, which had covered my few grey hairs that have started to sprout. I’m very satisfied and will buy this product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can I say.... Garnier olia never fails to impress! The colours are always gorgeous. I love how unlike every other dye on the market Garnier olia leaves my hair feeling soft and conditioned. It smells gorgeous too. I wouldn't use any other brand now, garnier olia is a solid favorite in my book. I usually need to use 2 bottles for my long hair but with olia 1 bottle does the job because the coverage is so good. Id definitely recommend garnier olia.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Garnier olia Is by far the best hair dye on the market. I love that it doesn't have that vile amonia smell and instead has a lovely fruity smell. The preparation and application process is so simple, and I love it only has a 30 min development time. When washed off it doesn't leave your hair feeling like straw like most other dyes do. It leaves my hair feeling soft and conditioned. The colour is beautiful and iv had lots of compliments.

Yes, I recommend this product.
