Unlike traditional hair dye, Garnier Olia oil-powered permanent hair color (shade 7.0 Dark Blonde) uses a 60% blend of natural flower oils to deliver vivid, long-lasting results with up to 3x shine vs uncolored, untreated hair. The oil-powered technology creates a velvety cream texture for optimal comfort during application. It infuses colorants deep into the hair cortex, giving you vivid, long-lasting color. Formulated for every hair type and texture, Olia visibly improves and restores for hair that’s silky and up to 3x shinier than unwashed, uncolored hair.

About This Hair Dye Shade
Garnier Olia 7.0 Dark Blonde is a neutral, pure dark blonde shade (no added warm/cool reflects) that lets your natural tones show through while providing 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Level 7 dark blonde hair color is best for natural hair between medium blonde and medium brown. Want a fashion-forward rose tone? See Olia Dark Rose Quartz. For a lighter shade that still reflects naturally, check out Olia 8.0 Medium Blonde.

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 7.0 for hair that has been previously colored shade 5.0 Medium Brown or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

Garnier Olia is formulated with 60% nourishing botanical oils that maximize the vibrancy and depth of dark blonde hair color. Not only does it enhance the performance of the dark blonde hair dye, but the ammonia-free formula helps minimize strong odor and scalp discomfort compared with traditional ammonia formulas. This special oil blend improves the quality of your locks and leaves you with shiny, smooth Level 7 dark blonde hair color while providing 100% gray coverage. With proper care, color typically looks vibrant for 4–6 weeks.

Don't buy this product.

10 years ago
A few minutes ago, I dyed my hair this color. Afterwards, you could clearly see the ends very damaged and falling off. My hair has been recently cut so seeing it broken after dyeing it could only mean the product was responsible for the damage. I'll sadly have to go tomorrow to get it cut up to my shoulders. In the picture, you can see the damage and brushing it and with slight touches, it falls.

10.0 very light blonde is the BEST hair dye, ever!

15 days ago
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.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not a huge difference

4 months ago
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.

Easy, gentle blonde dye with good coverage and les

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 think this was okay. It wasn’t my favorite but I like how there was no ammonia! We used it on my sisters hair and it didn’t dry it out. In fact, I was surprised that it looked pretty healthy still after!

I tried this on my hair and the color was actually pretty. I am not usually a fan of box hair dye but I will give this dye a 10/10. My hair felt soft after rinsing out the dye.

  • A: Hi Steph70, Using Olia 10.0 Very Light Blonde on Medium Brown hair will likely result in brassy, orange, or reddish-brown tones rather than a true blonde. 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!

    • A: Hi Reeese808, Thanks for reaching out! Bleaching products typically don't contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) because they lighten hair instead of adding color. However, bleach can still irritate the scalp. Please look at the ingredient list. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

    Q: Why does lifting black hair make you have red hair? I thought this bleach could lift seven levels.

    2 years ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi there Juij, we can see this wouldn’t be the result you were hoping for. Black is the hardest color to lighten, even for salon pros. Seven levels is not enough to bring black hair to a blonde. For black hair its more like 10 or 11 levels.
