Garnier Hair Color Olia Ammonia-Free Brilliant Color Oil-Rich Permanent Hair Dye, 2.11 Platinum Black, 1 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I love Garnier Hair Color Olia, in the variant Golden Brown.I have naturally medium brown hair. This hair dye slightly lightens my natural color by a few shades, akin to using "Sun In." This product, however, has been very safe to repeatedly dye my hair with. I could use it every two or three weeks with no issues (although, I stick to about four weeks). However, it is also safe if you'd like to mix in "LIW pH mix." I personally used this with my dye - I added this liquid into the colorant bottle and slightly mixed it before applying the dye. This is not required; I do this as an extra step to make my hair softer and perhaps protect it more (and it is a separate purchase, just to clarify).This dye has multiple benefits. The smell is pleasant and not harsh. Additionally, I don't notice much fall out at all. I could leave this in my hair for 30-40 mins, rinse out, and my hair feels like it's in great condition (although I do use a conditioning shampoo and conditioner afterwards.) And with gray coverage? I had quite a bit of gray hair - I am in my mid 20s, so not all gray yet, but a good amount. This dye did cover most of my grays, and now it is impossible to tell that I had as much gray hair as I used to.Any drawbacks to this product? Not that I can think of! I use one box to dye my hair with, although my hair is medium length, which means if your hair is longer, you'll benefit from using two boxes. I have repurchased this product multiple times. I've been told that it's hard to tell that I'm using box dye. This is a great quality dye for the price point, but I cannot guarantee the results you'll receive if dyeing predominately gray hair. This product allows for root touch-ups or full coverage; in the latter case, you'd likely be dyeing your entire head of hair every 4-6 weeks to cover grays, while using a color-safe shampoo of your choice to extend the color.

I used L’Oréal RR07 for years and was devastated when they discontinued it. Tried so many different brands and colors and was disappointed again and again. THIS IS THE CLOSEST I’VE GOTTEN! Honestly love the color (though it’s a little wild until you’ve washed it a couple times) and I get soooooo many compliments on it.My only complaint is that it does fade fairly quickly, but I think that is a reasonable trade off considering that it seems to be very gentle on my hair. And it doesn’t stink, which is awesome!I use two boxes as my hair is thick and long, so the two pack is very convenient.

I have purchased this several times. This is the best boxed dye I have found. Easy to apply, nice consistency, no horrible odor, doesn't give you that "scalp tingling" that most do and gives a great color. I use "Lightest Ash Blonde 9 1/2.1" It is very light, pretty much platinum, but a nice color. I would prefer a color that is a shade darker that is ash, however I don't believe they have this. I have searched everywhere. It leaves a somewhat highlighted look, which is nice. I don't think it is meant to but Im happy with that look (probably just the way it works with my hair). I need ash dye so that my roots won't come out with an orange tone. Even though it is an ash color, it still happens but does tone down after two or so washings. Overall I would recommend the product.

I use Olia Medium Blonde every month since my grays grow in so fast now...I love the color of this Olia. Problem is it washes out in about a week. It turns to a much lighter blonde...still better than gray but I would prefer the medium blonde to stay that way. Anyone using Olia and has a bad color result...don't worry it'll wash out in a weeks time. I do like no ammonia and it doesn't smell as bad as others I've used...Oh well not many good choices for those of us who color their own hair. I went once to a salon and it was expensive as heck and didn't not work well so I've been DIY for many years.

So far I love it! I’m interested to see how long the color holds but the application was easy and it has very little smell and doesn’t stain easily.

its defiantly red! but it looks beautiful on my sister.

First off I kind of like how the color turned out in my hair. However, I don't think the Box says but it's supposed to do and cover gray hair because in the front hairline I still have gray that shows that didn't get colored. Plus right now I have like three different colors on my hair so but it should have covered the front with the gray and it didn't and I left it on for 45 minutes which was a little longer than the 30 minutes and it still didn't even color it so I don't know if I just have obscenely stubborn gray hair that just wants to show off or what. So maybe the next time when I'm coloring my roots it might work better but for this first initial trial run it didn't do so great.Edited: So I tried it again, and I added two new pictures to show after a week that it even after a week it still never colored the front of my hair and I left it in for 45 minutes to an hour instead of just the 30 minutes. And as you can see from the one photo of my forehead basically LOL that I basically still have the light brown like kind of Gray color that still coming through like probably about an inch that didn't stay colored through my hair. I just don't think my hair likes this hair dye for some reason which is kind of sad because it's nice on my hair it doesn't dry it out as bad I think or doesn't dry it out but I feel like I'm constantly wanting to do touch up and use it all the time just to cover the front and make it match the rest of my hair. The top part of my hair is more pink and you can really see that when you get to the longer sections it starts looking more like a reddish- pink color. And in different lighting it looks different colors so you can't really see the pink.
