8 1/2.03 is a great hair color!

11 years ago
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

11 years ago
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.

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!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Disappointed with How Quickly Color Fades

2 months ago
We bleached my daughter’s hair the day before using Garnier Olia Bonding Care Bleach Kit, which we were satisfied with. The issue is the color dye. It looks great the first day or two, then starts to fade at an alarming rate. We used hair dye Garnier Olia Oil-Powered Permanent Color. When showering, she uses Garnier Color Shield Anti-Fade Shampoo and Conditioner and she’s managing the water temperature so only cold water touches her hair. I’ve never seen hair color fade this fast. My daughter and I are very disappointed and would not recommend. We are looking at other brands.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Pleasantly surprised, I got box color results!

3 months ago
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.

Yes, I recommend this product.

    Hands down the best hair dye I’ve ever used. The color match is perfect and it blends seamlessly with the white streak at the top left of my hairline. I also love how gentle it is—no harshness, and my hair and scalp feel healthy and soft after each use.

    Not impressed

    6 months ago
    This box color did very little for my hair. I have naturally dark brown hair and it was lightened maybe one shade. It did nothing to cover my grays. Even now as it has grown out, you can barely see the line between my natural hair and the hair colored with the Olia. The process to preparing it was just like any other box dye and the application was just as easy. My hair texture was slightly less soft but nothing a good conditioner doesn’t fix. Overall, I wouldn’t go with this brand again because of how little it did for the grays.

    Misleading product hair dye is not natural. It does have a chemicals in it and it’s not all oils I am allergic to hair dye.

    Olia hair dye leaves your hair soft smooth managea

    7 months ago
    I ordered and received the olia platinum black hair dye. I was so pleasantly surprised when I finally decided to apply it. It did not smell strong like ammonia like a lot of dyes do. It left my hair so soft and manageable after rinsing it out. My hair had such a glossy shine to it after rinsing the product and drying my hair. It seemed to last quite a long time in my hair as well like it didn't fade and rinse out quickly as some other brands do. I would definitely recommend this hair dye to anyone who has not tried the olia brand line yet you won't be disappointed.

    Not a huge difference

    Okay so here’s the thing… I think this didn’t really work for me because my hair is already that color. Oops. The coverage seemed okay, my hair was maybe a tiny bit lighter afterwards and it wasn’t patchy at all, but it also didn’t do much. The conditioner was really nice though and smelled good- my hair didn’t seem stripped after using it and I think the conditioner made it shinier. Probably a great product if you have hair where you can tell that you did something to it afterwards.

    Happy with my results

    7 months ago
    I was initially very skeptic. I didn't think it would retain long/be very apparent. My hair is thick/curly, naturally a dark brown/dark ash brown. Was told this color would fade into a natural looking chocolate which was what I wanted. The first couple of weeks, the change wasn't very apparent until after the first couple of washes. I stuck to washing every 5-7 days while also using Cantu Argan Leave-in conditioner which brightened it up/added moisture. I was happy with what I saw, and even more after the color retouch which I did about 5 weeks later. After that I was I was more than pleased! Definitely got the chocolate color I was going for. Its been about 3 months since the initial dye and its faded very nicely into chocolate/brown highlights. Was thinking of trying the 5.15 next. Overall, had no irritation or visible damage. Hair fallout has been average but the texture and shine overall was great! Will definitely use this brand again.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Color fading out the hair after a week

    8 months ago
    The hair dye is starting to fade and is getting out of the hair and i dyed it last week this is a really bad product. I can see my blonde hair coming back but last week it was pretty dark but now it’s just getting blonder.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Best color I have used

    8 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 used Garnier Olia 10.0 Very Light Blonde and found it easy to apply with clear instructions. The formula felt gentle on my scalp with no strong smell or irritation. The color came out even and left my hair feeling soft instead of dry. Overall, it gave me a nice light blonde with minimal damage

    I really enjoyed using Garnier Olia 2.0 Soft Black. The application was easy and smooth, and I loved that it has no ammonia. The scent was mild and not overpowering. It covered my roots evenly and blended perfectly with the rest of my hair, giving a very natural and rich black color. After rinsing, there was no heavy residue left on my scalp or hair, and my hair felt clean, soft, and nourished. The color looked glossy and healthy, covered my grays completely, and didn’t dry out my hair. Even after several washes, the color stayed vibrant with no dullness.

    I actually use this box on my mom and it turned out fantastic. Although nothing lasts that long on her she enjoyed the freshen up. It was easy to use. It wasn’t irritating and when applying properly you’re not staining everything I’m sure it’s a great value however she has a specific color that she always goes to so she won’t be buying it again.

    This product worked well and I love the extra moisture. The packaging and everything it includes is great . I had little to no mess or at least nothing that permanently stained my sink or bathtub. The washout was normal no issues. The development was good I loved the color on my hair.

      • 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!

      • 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!

      • 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!

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!

We suggest trying Olia B+++ - Bleach Blonde Extreme Hair Dye Lightening kit with 7 levels of lift for brilliant, long-lasting blonde results. We hope this information helps!
