Garnier Olia Luminous Long-Lasting Permanent Hair Colour, 9.0 Light Blond

Love Olia hair dye, easy to use, good at covering my greys. Use it regularly.

Love this brand covers greys and long lasting

I bought this in colour 9.0, light blonde as the brand I normally buy was out of stock. Although a permanent dye I thought it would probably be more of a toner/semi permanent colour bearing in mind the natural oils etc but was very pleasantly surprised. Although naturally very dark blonde I tend to get brassy roots with other blonde colourants (but don’t want to pre bleach) but not with this. My hair was lifted to light blonde (slightly yellow but using a purple toning conditioner the next day took care of that). The only negative for me was the after conditioner. I had thoroughly rinsed my hair before applying but my hair felt dry and sticky after rinsing out the conditioner. I washed my hair the next day with my normal shampoo and a purple conditioner and my hair still didn’t feel as soft and shiny as normal but did after another wash and condition the day after that. So whilst the conditioner may work for other people, I didn’t find it that great but was very happy with the results of the colourant and will definitely buy it again.

Hair Type: I'm 50 and have been dying my hair since the age of 14. I've been blonde for 4 years. My hair is shoulder length & can be prone to dryness. This is the first time I've used Olia. It is mixed in a pretty standard way. I wasn't over keen how it felt once applied ... it had a "firm" feel on my hair that I did not like. I always leave on longer than suggested, as my greys can be difficult to cover. I left it on for 35 mins. I then ignored the suggested amount of conditioner and used the whole tube, which I left on for ten minutes. The result was good coverage and soft hair. I am pleased with the result ... so much so that I have added both the dye and the conditioner (which can be purchased separately) to my Subscribe and Save order.

Great

Even though I hardly left this on fir a length of time, hair came out darker. Will have to wait till hair lightens

So I wanted to try this because it says it's ammonia free and there's nothing worse than the strong tear-inducing smell of haircolour and the way it burns your scalp. This smelled a bit like fabric softener which was tons better. It was easy to apply as the colourant is more of a cream than a liquid. One thing I would mention is that when I dried my hair after washing it out my hair felt quite brittle and dry, however, after the second wash my hair became soft and smooth so I'm wondering whether I didn't wash it all out properly. This has improved my hair condition so much, it's the best it's been in years and years. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Bought this as recommended by my hairdresser as an alternative to my usual colour. I seem to have developed an allergy after using the same colour for over 30 yrs. This is amonia free. Very happy and will continue to use this as I have not had any allergic reaction. Love the shade too. Covers grey.

Too small and no mixing container

Box was all broken and missing pieces in the box.

Je n'ai pas apprécié que les informations de vente originales ne fassent aucune mention que le produit vient de la Bulgarie. De plus la boite est bien plus petite que celle vendue en France. - Dans son contenu les trois flacons sont vraiment plus petit, une notice d'utilisation qui n'est pas rédigé en Français donc impossible à comprendre, y compris avec un traducteur.

1) Première surprise à réception car la boite est bien plus petite que celles vendues en France. 2) Les 2 flacons (couleur et diluant) sont bien plus petits (50g contre 60g en France) ce qui induit un manque de produit, surtout sur cheveux mi-longs. Idem pour le masque réparateur réduit à une taille d'échantillon. 3) Et pompon : une notice en slave (serbe, bulgare,...) impossible à comprendre, y compris avec un traducteur. Bref, un achat que je ne conseille pas.
