OLIA 5.0 - Medium Brown

About This Shade: 5.0 Medium Brown
Garnier Olia 5.0 Medium Brown is a classic, natural-looking medium brown shade designed for a balanced, true-to-tone result and a soft, silky finish.

Is This Shade Right for Me?
• Natural Hair: A versatile option for medium brown results on a wide range of starting shades within the brown family, from light brown to darkest brown. For a lighter shade that still reflects naturally, try shade 6.0 Light Natural Brown. For a darker natural shade try 4.0 Dark Brown. If you want to explore other shades in the medium brown family, check out 5.03 Medium Neutral Brown and 5.3 Medium Golden Brown.
• Desired Result: Ideal if you want a neutral, natural-looking medium brown without extra warm or ashy reflects. We do not recommend shade 5.0 for hair that has been previously dyed shade 3.0 Darkest Brown or darker.

• Root Touch-Up (visible regrowth): Apply to roots only. After the initial development time listed in the leaflet, work remaining mixture through lengths and ends as directed.
Step 4: Develop
• Leave on for the time indicated in the instruction leaflet for your application type. Do not exceed recommended time.
