About This Hair Dye Shade
Garnier Olia hair dye shade 6.0, "Light Brown," is a natural, light brown shade that will allow your true tones to show. It also provides 100% gray coverage.
Is This Shade Right For Me?
Shade 6.0 is best for anyone with natural hair between dark blonde and dark brown. If you would like a lighter color that still reflects naturally, try 7.0 Dark Natural Blonde hair dye. If you prefer to stay in the light brown shade family but want to explore other tones and reflects, check out 6.3 Light Golden Brown.
For anyone who currently has color treated hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 6.0 for hair that has been previously colored shade 4.0 Dark Brown or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!
About Olia
Unlike traditional hair dye, 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:

Questions
Q: How soon can you touch up your color with the ammonia free hair color?
a month agoOriginally posted on 3.11 - Darkest Platinum Brown
- 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 month agoHelpful?
Q: Does your hair dye stain skin?Do I need to use Vaseline on my hairline and ears before using dye
a month agoOriginally posted on 3.11 - Darkest Platinum Brown
- 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 month agoHelpful?
Q: The medium brown 5.0 was a little too dark. Which shade do you recommend that would be just a tiny bit lighter?
2 months agoOriginally posted on 5.0 - Medium Brown
- 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!2 months agoHelpful?
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?
2 months ago- 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!2 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does this contain ppd?
3 months agoOriginally posted on 4.0 - Dark Brown
- A: Hi Gloria808, Yes, Garnier Olia does contain PPD (para-phenylenediamine), despite being ammonia-free. We thank you for reaching out!3 months agoHelpful?
Q: Which brown is the most ashen? I don’t like browns that give red highlights
5 months agoOriginally posted on 3.0 - Darkest Brown
- A: Hi AnneBeth, Thank you for reaching out! Olia 3.0 Darkest Brown does not offer a ash tone, however this shade is dark with neutrals tones, so it may not reveal brassiness. We suggest doing a strand test to preview your results. We thank you for your interest in Garnier!4 months agoHelpful?
