About This Shade
Garnier Olia shade 4.60, "Dark Intense Auburn," adds rich reflects to your hair for a brilliant auburn result with 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Shade 4.60 is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you want to explore other reflects and tones in the dark brown range, try 4.0 Dark Brown, 4.12 Dark Iridescent Brown, and 4.62 Dark Garnet Red.

For those who currently have color treated hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 4.60 for hair that has been previously colored shade 3.0 Darkest Brown or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

About Olia
Unlike traditional haircolor, Olia uses a 60% oil blend with no ammonia natural flower oils to achieve brilliant, radiant color results. The oil powered technology propels colorants deep into the hair, giving you vivid, long-lasting color. Olia visibly improves and restores hair as the oils help to reverse roughness and dullness for more brilliant, long-lasting color. Olia-treated hair is hydrated, silky and up to 3X shinier than unwashed, uncolored hair.

The non-drip, velvety cream texture of Olia helps provide optimal comfort during application. Because Olia is ammonia-free, there is no harsh smell and it won't irritate your scalp. The hair dye kit includes everything you need: a developer applicator, a colorant tube, after-color conditioner, a set of gloves, and the instruction sheet. Follow the instruction sheet for the step-by-step process or watch our how-to videos below:

I have already recommended this product to several people. I am African American with natural hair. In the past any dyes I have used have not taken and always led to very disappointing (and sometimes expensive) experience, I was discouraged from using dyes. I decided to give the Olia dye a try b/c it uses oil and won't dry out my already fragile hair. I also have silver hairs, which are notoriously harder to dye, but this dye took on those silvers like a champ and the color was so cool it looked like highlights. Then the color on the rest of my head adjusted to my slightly different tones and became this amazing color. This has been a great experience that I hope will not end.

This worked really well and I am so happy with the coverage I received. I have dark brown hair and I wasn't sure it would even be noticeable. Everyone has complimented me on the color! And it doesn't have a harsh chemical smell either!

Best color I have used

4 months ago
Have been using this product for at least a year. I'm 70 yrs old. Don't know how grey I am because I always have dyed hair but it covers my hair completely No Greys! Hair is so shiny and soft. Olio lasts longer than other products I use. Only problem I have is can't find this shade locally I have to do mail order.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I really enjoyed using the Olia Dark Intense Auburn hair color. The application process was simple, and the formula didn’t have that harsh chemical smell you usually get with box dyes.. it actually smelled pleasant, which made the experience so much better. The color came out rich and vibrant, giving my hair a beautiful dark auburn tone that looked natural but still bold. I also appreciated that it left my hair feeling soft and shiny instead of dry or damaged. The coverage was even, and it did a great job covering grays as well.

I used this product on my niece. I went on pretty smoothly. Wasn't as bright as I would like. Of course didn't smell good while applying but that was expected.

I really loved this hair color. The shade Dark Intense Auburn turned out rich, vibrant, and very natural-looking. It doesn’t have that strong chemical smell like other dyes, and it left my hair feeling incredibly soft. The application process was easy, and the packaging includes everything you need. It didn’t stain much, and my hair looked shiny and healthy afterward. A great option if you want bold color without damaging your hair!

    • A: Hello there Ashley loves to color...Great question! When going darker, especially to black, you should be sure its a look you love. Once the hair is dyed darker, there is no easy way to lighten the dyed hair if you decide to go lighter after all. Go to the webpage for a specific black color on our website and use the virtual TRY ON tool to see how the color looks on you to help decide if black is for you.

    • A: I am not an expert (or certified beautician) but from my own experience, a very dark brown shade is not very easy to lighten in a future application. A bright dark red shade (garnet, for example) might give you a reddish burgundy glow --but still the overall color effect will be a dark brown. The dark soft mahogany will give you a very subtle reddish hint --still the overall color effect will be dark brown. When I want a dark brown with a reddish hint, I usually mix two shades together (dark brown and dark garnet, or dark brown and dark mahogany). It depends what overall effect you want on your hair.
