Garnier Olia Olia 6.3 - Light Golden Brown

Over the summer I did the pomegranate shade. I loved it, I was bold but I still got a lot of compliments. Then I I did Medium Intense Auburn. Very lovely, even more complements. Tonight I west Darkest Rose Red. And WOW! It’s stunning. It’s a little softer than I’m use to BUT it darker and deeper, looks way natural with just a little pop. I’m used to a lot of pop lol, but if you are nervous going red I think this is a perfect starter shade. It looks classy and professional. I can’t wait to show it off my next day at work. Beautiful Garnier, very beautiful shade.

I normally have my hair highlighted in a salon but due to the pandemic I was way overdue and finally decided to bite the bullet and try a box dye. I’m so glad I chose Olia Dark Blonde! I wanted a color that was as close as possible to my natural color, would color my grays and just kind of blend everything together. My natural hair color is light to medium ashy brown and I usually get blonde highlights interspersed with some lowlights. I also have a lot of grays. This dye was easy to apply and had no overpowering smell. And I love the results! It looks very natural and my highlights still shine through. My grays are also completely covered. Thank you Garnier Olia!

I love the color [Darkest Brown]. I applied and left the color on for over and hour and rinsed it out. Then I left the conditioner on for over 5 minutes. This left my hair so soft and with intense shine. I will use this product again was fantastic! . Follow these steps to get the look: *– Shampoo and Condition from root to tip with the Demand Erase Collection. After washing, towel dry hair to remove excess water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think I successfully attempted to do an all over highlight with money pieces and ombré effect on my daughter’s hair. She has naturally light brown somewhat dark blonde virgin hair. The Garnier Olia box dye comes with everything we needed. The instructions were easy to follow and I adjusted the application based on what we envisioned. The process was simple and quick. An hour total after washing and drying her hair. We spent most of the time sectioning her hair to make highlights. She loves the end result. It lightens her natural hair a couple of shades brighter into a light golden honey brown. The pictures are taken in the bathroom under indoor lighting with no natural light showing the real color or how beautiful turned out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tested several store bought hair dyes but never have I found a perfect solution for gray hair. This Garnier Olia claimed to cover gray at 100% and it did not disappoint. The kit was super easy to use. It includes everything in the package that you need for a flawless application. The scent was standard, and didn’t seem to affect the smell of my hair. The formula is phenomenal. It didn’t cause any irritation and I didn’t need multiple applications. My hair was not dry or brittle after application, but actually felt very healthy. I’ve never had a one-and-done in an at home kit. Overall, they’ve got a customer for life.

I was so nervous to try and color my light brown hair that was color treated. It had been 6 months since my last color, but I used a professional custom home service and it was never quite right. My hair pulls red easily and I have to tone a lot. I have a lot of chemical sensitivities so the semi permanent colors had more of an effect on my skin than the permanent because they washed out and I was exposed every wash. I just can't do ammonia or bleach anymore because of asthma and dry scalp. I can't afford the salons and have been cutting my hair and doing my own color since the pandemic in 2020. I watched a lot of color theory videos and many try on simulations for every company. I was prepared to suffer through an ammonia process until I saw this and saw that it had no silicones and parabens, which I have to strictly avoid in all products now. I can't find it anywhere on the box, but I am sure I read somewhere that Olia doesn't pull brass and that's why I chose it. The try on tool was also very useful in choosing the color. I did go with the lighter color as suggested. My light brown/dark blonde was very dull from medical issues. I wasn't expecting more than a shine and really expecting a reddish dark blonde as that's usual for my hair. I can't believe I got the box color results. I chose the lightest ash blonde hoping it would be enough coolness to give me a golden natural blonde with no brass. I got the darkest results color on the box and I'm so happy. I did use one purple tone rinse before I dried it the first time, but I didn't need it. It was a temporary one and actually dulled the final result a little. The second wash I held off the purple and used a good shampoo to clarify and it's so much shinier and brighter. I followed the directions exactly with very dirty hair and timing, though my hair is so short I really do an all over application quickly and then let it set for the full time. I am so happy with this result. Now I wonder if I use the same color or go to the 9 so it doesn't go blonder. I guess my roots will still need this color. My hair feels nice and my scalp is not drier than before. Since I can avoid toners it's a win and I can work on my scalp in between colors. My hair is short because of thin patches after menopause and medication. I don't have gray yet, so this gentle color gives me time to grow my hair back. I really recommend trying it if you need a gentle color and want to avoid brass. I'm allergic to nearly everything in beauty. I did do a patch test and strand test, though my strand test was darker than my beautiful final result, probably because my mixture was off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Garnier Olia Light Blonde to try out, and just in time because I just had my hair cut off, literally, and all I saw was dark, gray hair. I'm a natural blonde, well, I used to be, but of course, aging has ruined that, so anyways. This color turned out really nice and covered my gray hair. My hair felt nourished and the color matched my skin tone great! Another thing that was great, was that the hair color didn't have a strong scent. Overall, I'm very happy with the Garnier Olia Light Blonde!
