Is This Shade Right For Me?
Olia 4.62 Dark Garnet Red is best for natural hair between light brown and black. On very dark brown to black hair, expect subtle burgundy reflects, but on light brown hair, results appear brighter. If your hair is already color-treated, results may vary. Olia 4.62 is not recommended for hair dyed with shade Olia 3.0 Darkest Brown or darker. Use our Shade Selector Tool to find the right burgundy hair color for you.
About Olia
Unlike traditional hair dye, Olia is powered by a 60% oil blend (including sunflower, meadowfoam, and camellia oils) that helps colorants penetrate the hair for vivid, long-lasting results and up to 3X more shine vs. unwashed, uncolored hair. By visibly repairing coarse and dull locks, these Olia oils also provide full hydration while you color for silky hair with up to three times more shine than unwashed, uncolored hair.
The-no drip, velvety cream is easy to apply, and the ammonia-free formula means no harsh ammonia smell.
Shade Description:
4.62 Dark Garnet Red is a deep, rich red shade with purple undertones, reminiscent of a precious garnet. This vibrant hue delivers a captivating, long-lasting red with intense shine and depth.

8 1/2.03 is a great hair color!

I love Olia. It is a great, ammonia free hair color that is more healthy than any other hair color on the market in my opinion. I have used the light blonde 9.0 also, and the 9.03-light pearl blonde, which was too light for my hair because I have a lot of gray, I guess. I have never used a medium blonde before, because I thought it would be too dark for me, but the 8 1/2 .03 medium pearl blonde is just right. Not too dark and not too light. I really like the color, it looks neutral, and my color matched the color on the box exactly. Please don't discontinue this color or product. It is seriously the best out there. The smell is fantastic, and I never have any sensitivity with it. Love, love, love it. Keep up the good work!

Not true to color

I purchased 90.3, because it appeared to be the color that I wanted. After using the color, I found it to be too ashy, when I wanted golden highlights. It has been 3 weeks since I colored, and the ash has mellowed to a color close to what I am used to using, which is a neutral light or lightest blonde. I will not use this color again, as I am looking to add golden highlights, not ash. Beware that the "pearl" shades mean ash.

It’s ok, I do prefer other brands but i definitely recommend. I think because I’ve been using another brand for a while I felt a little unsure but it’s a great dye
It doesn't work anymore. I had used this dye (Darkest Brown) several times in the past and it worked fine. Well a few months ago, it didn't stick whatsoever. My hair looked the same as it did prior to applying. I figured then that I had done something wrong on my part and left it at that. Well fast forward a few months later, and the same thing happens again. Only this time I left the dye on for longer before rinsing so there's no reason it shouldn't have worked. I've dyed my hair plenty of times to know that I'm not the problem and it's the product. Save your money.
Incredible texture after application, long-lasting color.

This dye didn't burn my scalp or damage my hair; it left it feeling soft, and the color lasted a long time. It doesn't have a strong smell, and the instructions make it quite easy to apply.
Hair looks shiny healthy, and beautifully blended.

The application was easy and the hair color came out beautiful and natural looking. It was just slightly lighter than expected but overall love it. I would definitely use it again..
please do not ever every discontinue this shade. This is the perfect expresso, cool brown. The shine is incredible, if there is a olia mask shade that comes out, please do. this line is amazing and accessible for those who cannot afford the salon. thank you garnier.
It literally did not dye my hair. It tinted my roots and tips orange, the majority of my hair is still brown and I used the whole bottle and waited the appropriate amount of time. Do not waist your money!
Can’t say I wasn’t a bit skeptical. Intense Red. How red can it be? I normally use Splat which also means I have to bleach before putting the color on as it’s a temporary color. Great brand unless you’re messy with the color because it does not wash off of anything. My hair grows fast and I have to dye every 3 weeks to keep up. Bleaching is so harsh so I’ve been searching for a color close to those that my normal brand offers. Intense Red was about the only one I was able to find. I typically use a color with a violet base because an orange base fades to orange and looks looks washed out while the violet turns to a lighter red or pink and if it’s really washed out it turns to peach.. I grabbed this box and as I headed for the check out I turned back around and went back to grab my usual brand. Again headed to pay, but thought one more time about the damage bleaching can cause and went back to swap them again. I was scared to say the least. Afraid that it wouldn’t be what I wanted, the color wouldn’t match the box, I’d end up looking like bozo and be forced to wear a wig the rest of the summer. To my surprise Garnier Olia DID NOT DISAPOINT!!! The color is gorgeous! My hair feels and looks amazing. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the shade of red and the greys?!! 100% GONE! It washes from your skin easily and even if you splatter some color across the room onto the wall it is possible to wash it off. I will definitely be slinging and splatting Garnier Olia in my bathroom from here on out!
A: Hello, Since your roots are dark, and your aiming for a light level of blonde it is important for us to know your exact starting level of color. Please call Garnier @ 800-442-7643 M-F 9:00am-5:30pm ET., and provide case #48568373. We look forward to your call!

Q: I've always used Nutrisse Ultra Creme #93 Light Golden Blonde. Am considering trying Olia #90 Light Blonde to touchup roots when needed. Would this blend well with Nutrisse that is on my mids and ends?
A: Hello, Absolutely you can use Olia 9.0 Light Blonde on your roots instead of Nutrisse 93 Light Golden Blonde. Just keep in mind you will have a little less warmth on the roots, but it will blend nicely. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

Q: I have lightest golden brown hair and want to keep this light shade . Which Olia shade do you recommend that will also cover the grey well.
A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Usually, the time between touching up your roots is about four to six weeks. The faster your hair grows, the more often you need your roots touched up, so in this case you can touch up in 3 weeks. We thank you for your interest in Garnier!

Q: Does your hair dye stain skin?Do I need to use Vaseline on my hairline and ears before using dye
A: Hi there, Yes, applying a barrier like Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around your hairline, ears, and neck is highly recommended. It creates a protective wall that prevents the dye from seeping into and staining your skin. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

Q: The medium brown 5.0 was a little too dark. Which shade do you recommend that would be just a tiny bit lighter?
A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! We suggest using a clarifying shampoo to fade your hair color. Fading is a gradual process and may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired shade. Once the color has faded we suggest trying Olia 6.0 Light Brown in a touch up application. We thank you for your interest in Garnier!

Q: 1. How long do i have to wait until i can wash my hair?
2. how long do i have to wait until i can redye my ends with the same color?
A: Hi random90210, Thanks for reaching out! Wait a minimum of 24 hours after your color process for best results.
When applying hair color its best to wait until the last 5-10 minutes of processing time to touch up the ends. This prevents over processing. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!
A: Hi Ruees, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can mix two different shades of retail (box) blonde hair color, but it is highly recommended to use the same brand and type. Thank you for your interest in Garnier!
