Garnier Olia: Review

I've only dyed my hair myself once before, but the experience was so bad that I really thought it wasn't for me, the color was uneven, and my hair was super dry after. When Bzzagent allowed me to try Garnier's new oil powered permanent hair dye, I was hoping that my experience with Olia would be different, and I was pleasantly surprised.


What makes Garnier Olia so different from other dye is:

  • It's a oil powered permanent hair dye
  • It's ammonia free(so you can breathe easy)
  • It's has a 60% oil blend with natural flower oils(that leave a nice floral smell)
  • It restores hair and leaves it smooth and shiny
  • It comes in 26 different shades(so you're bound to find one you love)


First off after taking everything out of the box I really liked the applicator bottle, the wide top made adding the color and developer so much easier. I also liked that they give you so much product so I was able to get the job done with just one box. Another plus was the gloves, most boxed hair products give you huge dinky gloves that barely stay on. These were nice and fit my hands perfectly, which I really appreciated.

The mixing and application process was pretty easy, the smell was really nice and because its oil powered there was no stinky ammonia smell, which was a huge relief. After applying the color, I still had color left so I used it to go over my hair and make sure everything was covered and let it set for 30 minutes. I rinsed and applied the conditioner let it set for bout 5 minutes and rinsed.

After my hair had dried I was happy with he results, Olia left my hair with a nice even color(no more two tone yay!)and a nice shine which lasted for about a week. I wish the color would have come out a bit lighter, instead of such a dark brown, but my hair is naturally dark anyway so I wasn't expecting it to lighten it too much. Overall it had a pretty good experience with Olia and would definitely try it again.
