Nice Natural Result

Cocoapple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted to try dying my hair black for ages,(my natural colour is a very dark golden brown), but I was really worried about it looking hard and un-natural. I've used Olia before (dark brown shades) and knew the quality was good, so I went for the soft black shade in this range. I am really pleased with the result. It's black, but doesn't look hard and harsh as some black dyes do. Also my hair feels well conditioned, so all round am pleased with this.

Yes, I recommend this product.

lovely colour at first after washing out and for the first couple days before i washed it again. i dyed it on the 5th January 2025 and have washed it every 5 days and the colour has already started to wash out. i’ve done everything i can to try and make it last (not washing as often, washing at right temperature etc) but it just keeps washing out by a lot. it also made my hair extremely greasy when first washing out.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Brilliant & Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I literally used this at 4.30am today. It was so easy to use (No drips) & left my Hair feeling Great. I only have about 5% Grey (Despite being 67 years old) It rinsed out easily & the Oils have left my Curly Hair feeling 'Like Silk' I would Highly Recommend this as the results are marvellous. Having said that, I have ALWAYS found any Garnier product performs to the highest standard.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Gentle with great results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Garnier Olia has to be the best smelling dye out there, ammonia free and with natural flower oils, it was really gentle on my scalp. The colour pay off was great too! As with many at home dyes, if you have a lot of hair or it’s very thick then more than one box would be required to get enough product on to get the best results. I’ll definitely be recommending this to friends

Yes, I recommend this product.

Easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product came with a bottle that is used to apply the product which makes it a lot more easier to use than other brands which don’t provide this. The colour is rich and glossy and applies evenly even on different coloured parts of the hair. The conditioner left my hair feeling smooth and silky and the dye didn’t smell strong at all!

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have long hair and this box was enough to cover it,,This product delivered beautiful rich color which covered my greying hair. i have sensitive scalp and this formula was gentle and no irritation, Didn't dry it out but left it soft and shiny and natural looking, I've also used other colors by Garnier and they've all been great too.

Vibrant colour, amazing shine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've dyed my a few colours in the past and this is certainly a more daring choice and I was a bit concerned at first but it turned out great. I would say follow the instructions to make sure you don't leave it on too long and to make sure you get the colour right. I tried this weeks ago and it's still got a very nice healthy shine!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Moisturising

Selina

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok used this a while back. I would recommend it for very dry hair as it is designed to colour and moisturise at the same time. It’s a good way to colour your hair without seemingly damaging it. The smell wasn’t bad either. Garnier hair colourants are not normally strong smelling and this is no exception. Good product.

Yes, I recommend this product.
