[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good product I must say. I got it for my grandma and she loved everything about it! The color really is lovely and deep but not flat. It gives that extra to your hair. The sent is lovely made of different flower oils and it is relaxing. The product itself does not contain ammonia so no irritation here! The pack contains everything you need including Gloves and a conditioner to giver your color a boost of hydration and gloss.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really was looking forward to trying this. The fragrance was really nice compared to other hair dyes & was very easy as the cream was nice n no drips. Bottle was abit hard to hold but nothing major BUT the colour did nothing to my hair, not even a slight change, my hair was fully natural with no previous colour & it didn’t take at all just left me with straw like hair. Not impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply with a cute little bottle, the dye was nice and thick so no runs down my face and neck, I thought the smell was lovely not that nasty breathe taking normal dye smell, didnt cover 100% of grey but a good 95% and a nice even cover very true to the box. overall i'm very pleased. Oh by the way the conditioner is lush my hair feels so soft and smells gorgeous.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have naturally dark brown hair, but I have a lot of grey along my hairline, so maybe this colour is too light that it didn't do much in covering my greys, it just made them a light brownish-blonde colour. Overall, it made my hair nice and soft, but I'll try a darker colour next time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not sure if this colour could five me highlights or not but gave me it! my hair is dark brown and some highlights, when I've applied the Olia 5.3. Golden Brown gave it more shinny and seems a perfect colour for the summer.. Can't wait for more sunny days to show off my hair.

I've been using Olia for a few years now and every time it's been great. At the beginning, I ombred my hair with it and it never left it dry or damaged, and I have naturally very soft hair and it always kept it that way. I only used one box for my ombre and it was fine every time, but I used up nearly all the product when I did that. But I recently tried to dye all my hair blonde: now, the blonde dye was the lightest one, one down from the bleach though. I made a mistake and did the roots first and I then ran out for the rest of my hair so I had patchy hair, and my roots actually turned orange- it was awful. (they turned orange because I have red base in my hair, but I have naturally dark blonde hair), so I ran to the shop and got a brown dye, and I got the golden brown. I only got one box again which wasn't clever of me but I managed to cover all my hair with it. My roots do look a bit ginger but the rest of my hair is a light/mid golden brown and it does look nice: my hair is still very soft, maybe a little dry but do bare in mind that I Dyed my hair twice in one day. Olia is my go to product and I would highly recommend it
Yes, I recommend this product.
