Garnier Olia Ammonia Free Permanent Hair Color, 100% Gray Coverage (Packaging May Vary), 6.43 Light Natural Auburn, Red Hair Dye, Pack of 1

I loved this product because it didn't last my hair and the color it left me is very beautiful

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.

Great product.

In a quest to find a less damaging product than L'Oreal Feria, I randomly picked up Olia, hoping the oil-based dye would help. It did! I should start off by saying that I have quite a lot of grey hair, which has a distinctly wiry texture, unlike the rest of my thick naturally brown hair. I'm looking for coverage and softness. Here are my likes and dislikes:Likes:* I've only ever used Feria, and I was shocked by how nice my hair felt after coloring, and it's stayed soft after more than two weeks. I'll never return to Feria!* This comment falls under like/dislike -- the product is VERY thick, and I was nervous I wouldn't have enough to finish covering my past-shoulder-length hair. I ended up skimping on the ends b/c of that. I just barely made it. I'd suggest being conservative on the roots so you have enough to finish. I do like how easy it is to apply b/c of the thickness.* It's been over two weeks and my color has barely faded, which is GREAT! Except my greys are growing out in a stark strip -- LOL! I'll take it over the massive fade of Feria (why did I stay with it for so long?).Dislikes:* I think it's wasteful to have two product bottles AND a mixing bottle. Why not include product in the mixing bottle and save a little plastic, like Feria does?* Color is nice, but darker than expected, and since the color really sticks, it doesn't lighten/fade like Feria* The color is also fairly one-dimensional/flat. It's not *bad*, just...there.Bottom line, this is a surprisingly nice color. Now that I've stretched my legs on switching brands, I'm going to try a few others, but if they don't leave my hair feeling nice and soft, I'll be coming back to Olia!
