How to find the perfect brown shade for you:
Have you ever wondered what the hair colour numbers mean? The first number of a Hair Colour is how Light or Dark the brown hair dye will be, for example brown shades range from 4, Dark Brown to 6, Light Brown. The second number is the reflect which can be Natural (.0), Warm (.3, .4, .5, .6) or Cool (.1, .2). For example, 4.0 is a Natural Dark Brown, 4.3 is a Golden Dark Brown, and 4.15 is an Ash Dark Brown. Always check the back of pack to see if it is the right shade for you.
Box includes: 1 tube colour crème with a velvety texture & subtle floral fragrance, 1 tube developer cream, 1 applicator bottle, 1 tube of the silk & shine multi-application conditioner, 1 pair of gloves and 1 instruction leaflet.

RED not rich chocolate
Verified Purchaser
3 years ago
Although the hair dye itself is good quality and easy to apply the colour itself turned out VERY RED. This was not the ‘rich chocolate brown’ I was expecting so I was very upset and had to wash my hair multiple times to get the red to fade out. Will not use again and will be cautious with any shades other than basic brown.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Allergic reaction!
3 years ago
I bought this hair dye recently but I had a terrible allergic reaction to this product a few hours after I dyed my hair. I developed contact dermatitis and had to take antihistamines as a result. I dye my hair regularly but I have never tried this product before.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Lovely colour
5 years ago
I had brown hair with balayage highlights and due to lockdown thought id try olia. Was easy to apply and great even coverage. Has got a lot of warm tones to it which I like and like other brown dyes I have used in the past this one doesn’t come out really dark. My hair feels soft and shiny and in really good condition, will definitely be using again.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice browny colour!
6 years ago
I bought this dye my hair roots. I dyed my hair with chocolate brown (warm brown colour)before but I can't find permernant hair colour dye for chocolate brown and I tried this colour. Luckily, it's similar colour! However, if you have dark hair and want to have brown hair then it's better to choose brighter than this colour. Smells nice and easy to apply. Tad expensive but good quality with nice colour!
